Egypt's first female ship captain Marwa Elselehdar has been falsely accused as being the captain of the Ever Given by some foreign media, in a story that went viral and garnered a lot of hate towards her.
The only problem? She was 370km away at the time, acting as the first mate of another ship (Aida IV) and had nothing to do with the situation in the Suez Canal.
I think we should all help spread this, since some people are still sharing the malicious slanderous fake posts about her!

For anyone who doesn't know what's going on in Canada right now (which, let's be real, is probably everyone who's not in Canada):
This week, a mass grave was discovered at a former Indian Residential School, in Kamloops, BC. The grave contained the bodies of 215 Indigenous children.
For people outside of North America, residential schools were places that Indigenous children were sent to, to have their language and culture stripped away from them. They were literally stolen from their families, and scattered across Canada, to ensure that they would be surrounded by children who didn't speak their language. They were given Christian names and forced to speak English. They were horrendously abused, and the survivors have been traumatized.
Hundreds of children never returned. The assumption has always been that they died. This has now been confirmed.
The school in Kamloops closed in 1978. They are now trying to identify bodies to inform family members. The last residential school closed in the 1990s. There is growing demand to search all of them, but the government hasn't responded to that, as of yet. Ottawa JUST gave in to pressure to fly the Canada flag at half mast. They weren't even going to do that.
This is the reality if anti-Indigenous racism in Canada. The residential schools may be closed, but that hasn't stopped the abduction of Indigenous children, let alone the hundreds of missing and murdered Indigenous women.

before we begin, this is not intended to say no one can watch/be into any of the things listed below, it is to simply warn my fellow epileptics of things that could cause a photosensory-induced seizure. that is, to also say, some of these things have other flaws and issues within them, and anything listed here is not exempt of problems/criticism, but i am not here to criticize them for the flaws within the thing itself. once again, this is a warning so people can avoid having seizures.
neon genesis evangelion - this series has extremely bad flashing, i could not finish it because of this. nearly every fighting scene (which there are a lot of) has intense flashing lights and colors.
revolutionary girl utena - from what i have heard, this, along with many other old anime (such as eva, listed above) have a big issue with flashing colors and strobe effects. generally, i would advise doing your research/asking people around you before watching an older anime. these can be very dangerous.
genshin impact - the game's fight mechanics are filled with bright colors and flashing lights, and there isn't a warning until you've already installed, and opened the game (and even that is very vague). it's caused people headaches, so i would not be surprised if it would cause seizures as well. luckily, there is a manga if you want to get into the story, however, if you have epilepsy, i would be wary of the game itself.
metalocalypse - in the intro specifically, there are many flashing lights and colors. they are also sprinkled throughout the show itself. these scenes are skippable, but i would recommend someone else (who knows when these happen) watch it with you, and give you time to look away or warn you before the flash.
nbc hannibal - there are very few flashing scenes in this show, and the places where flashes happen are skippable. the most prominent are when dr. lecter is brainwashing will and another girl (who i do not remember exactly who right now). these scenes are entirely skippable, and i absolutely would recommend doing so. ps., there is also a scene where will graham has an on-screen seizure. while there aren't any strobe effects happening at the time, the scene itself was very triggering for me, and upset me for a while after watching it.
homestuck - if you have epilepsy, i cannot stress this enough, do not look at homestuck, or anything homestuck related. this comic is literally seizure hell. there are an incredible amount of strobes, intense flashing colors, and general flickering images. (the original google document listing out homestuck's issues did not mention this. so i am.)
spiderman: into the spiderverse - while the animation is beautiful, this movie is chock full of bright colors and flashes. i was able to sit through it, but did get a headache afterwards. i would especially not recommend watching it in a dark-lit room, as it makes this issue worse.
mob psycho 100 - this show has a lot of bright colors that flash and are generally very eye-strainy. i had to skip out on a lot of this, but it may be watchable with the screen dimmed, depending on person to person.
dorohedoro - in most, if not all, of the dorohedoro openings, there are intense flashing colors and strobe effects. the rest of the show is pretty okay, but i would skip the openings (and endings) whenever possible.
half life - this has very minor flashes around the resonance cascade, but other than that, ive been told its fine to watch.
rwby - there are some flashy scenes, but i have never watched this show, so i can not elaborate in full detail about them. just be wary!
ghost (vocaloid producer) - many of the music videos include flashing colors and strobe effects in them. if you want to listen to their music, i would recommend going into a different tab or avoiding the actual music videos themself.
lisa the painful - this game has red flashing screens throughout the game, if you are going to try to play, i would advise having someone tell you when exactly these flashes are, or just watch a playthrough of it, but you may need to avoid it entirely.
if you're not epileptic, i encourage you to reblog this post and add any media you know that could be seizure-inducing (please include a small blurb on what the flashing is, whether it's avoidable, etc.) please do not start fights in the notes. this is a resource for people who experience seizures and want to avoid having them. thank you. ❤️
