It is Ship's cat sunday and here is a pic of stowaway Perce Blackborow on Shackleton's Endurance with Mrs. Chippy, the ship's cat, before 1915

More about Chippy below

The tabby domestic cat had been brought on board by Harry McNish, the ship's carpenter known as "Chippy", and was given her name before it was discovered that she was a male. Mrs Chippy is described as a handsome, affectionate and good-natured cat. He proved to be a good catcher of mice and rats and was a favourite among the crew. The men were amused by the way Mrs Chippy seemed to enjoy strutting across the roofs of the kennels, always just out of reach of the rampaging dogs. What's more, the cat's climbing skills, even in the roughest seas, earned him respect. At the beginning of the voyage, on 13 September 1914, Mrs Chippy jumped through a porthole and fell into the sea. The officer on watch, Huberht Hudson (1886-1942), turned the ship around and had the cat brought back on board with the fishing net of biologist Robert Clark (1882-1950).

When the Endurance, which had already been trapped by pack ice in January 1915, could no longer withstand the pressure and sank at the end of October, Shackleton ordered all animals of no concrete use - three puppies, the sled dog Sirius, who could not be harnessed like the others, and Mrs Chippy - to be shot. In his book South, he later quoted his diary, saying that under the new circumstances they could not have afforded to feed "weaklings". The captain of the Endurance, Frank Worsley, defended Shackleton's decision in 1931 by pointing out that the cat would have been eaten by the dogs without the protection of the ship. In the case of Mrs Chippy and the puppies, it fell to Second Officer Thomas Crean to carry out the sentence.

Harry McNish never forgave the expedition leader. His resentment led to growing tensions between the two men, which one day culminated in an attempt by McNish to openly disobey orders. Although as a carpenter he undoubtedly played an important part in the successful rescue of the entire crew of the Endurance, he was one of the few who were not honoured with the Polar Medal for "disloyalty". He died in Wellington, New Zealand, in 1930 and was given a pauper's burial in the Karori Cemetery there. It was not until 1959 that the New Zealand Antarctic Society donated a gravestone to the veteran. In 2004, the society commissioned sculptor Chris Elliott to create a life-size bronze sculpture of Mrs Chippy, which has adorned McNish's grave ever since.

Let's talk about the idolized Aurangzeb. What he did and why is he considered great?

We will be focusing on the destruction of temples and hindu genocide done by him to debunk claims deny that this.

By the order of Aurangzeb (1645 AD) according to Mirãt-i-Ahmadî, Temple of Chintaman situated close to Sarashpur (Gujarat) and built by Sitaldas jeweller was converted into a mosque named Quwwat-ul-lslam (might of Islam) (1645 AD.) A cow was slaughtered to 'solemnize' the 'ceremony'.

Slaughtering a cow was a heinous choice, cow being one of the holiest animal in Hinduism. As well as, Hinduism prohibits animal slaughter, to do it right where their place of worship used to be where now stands a Mosque was simply to mock and destroy the souls of the indigenous population. The Pandits and Cows were always their main targets.

This was done before he even became the king, he was just a prince at this point.

When he became the king he sent Mir Jumla on an expedition to Cooch Bihar. Mir Jumla demolished ALL temples in that city and erected mosques in their stead. The general himself wielded a battle-axe to break the image of Narayana.

Mirãt-i-Ahmadî continues, In 1666 AD, he ordered the faujdar of Mathura to remove a stone railing which had been presented by Dara Shukoh to the temples of Keshav Rai. He explained: “In the Muslim faith it is a sin even to look at a temple and this Dara had restored a railing in a temple!”

You can still argue that Islamic Colonization simply had a political motif and not a religious one, if that would have been the case, none of the indigenous people would have been harmed, none of them would have been forcefully converted, their heritage would not have been destroyed right in front of their eyes, their schools and texts would have been burned. This is downright evil and was done in the name of Allah by all the Mughal tyrants.

“The richly jewelled idols taken from the infidel temples were transferred to Agra and placed beneath the steps leading to the Nawab Begum Sahib's (Jahanara's) mosque in order that they might be “pressed under foot by the true believers”. Mathura changed its name into Islamabad and was thus called in all official documents.”

In the same year, Sita Ram ji temple at Soron was destroyed as also the shrine of Devi Patan at Gonda. News came from Malwa also that the local governor had sent 400 troopers to destroy all temples around Ujjain.

According to Muraqat-i-Abul Hasan, civil officers, agents of jagirdars, karoris and amlas from Cuttack in Orissa to Medinipur in Bengal were instructed as follows:

“Every idol house built during the last 10 or 12 years' should be demolished without delay. Also, do not allow the crushed Hindus and despicable infidels to repair their old temples. Reports of the destruction of temples should be sent to the court under the seal of the qazis and attested by pious Shaikhs.”

(1672 AD) several thousand Satnamis were slaughtered near Narnaul in Mewat for which act of 'heroism' Radandaz Khan was tided Shuja'at Khan with the mansab of 3000 and 2000 horse.

(1675 AD) Guru Tegh Bahadur was tortured to death for his resistance against the forcible conversion of the Hindus of Kashmir. The destruction of gurudwaras thereafter is a well-known story which our secularists have succeeded in suppressing because the Akali brand Sikhs have been forging ties of friendship with Islam as against their parent faith, Hindu Dharma.

Mirãt-i-Ahmadî goes ahead: “On 6th January 1680 A.D. Prince Mohammad Azam and Khan Jahan Bahadur obtained permission to visit Udaipur. Ruhullah Khan and Yakkattaz Khan also proceeded thither to effect the destruction of the temples of the idolators. These edifices situated in the vicinity of the Rana's palace were among the wonders of the age, and had been erected by the infidels to the ruin of their souls and the loss of their wealth”. Pioneers destroyed the images. On 24th January the king visited the tank of Udayasagar.

His Majesty ordered all three of the Hindu temples to be levelled with the ground. On 29th January Hasan AN Khan made his appearance' and stated that “172 temples in the neighbouring districts had been destroyed.” His Majesty proceeded to Chitor on 22nd February.

Temples to the number of 63 were destroyed. Abu Tarab who had been commissioned to effect the destruction of idol temples of Amber, reported in person on 10th August that 66 temples had been levelled to the ground.’ The temple of Someshwar in western Mewar was also destroyed at a later date in the same year. It may be mentioned that unlike Jodhpur and Udaipur, Amber was the capital of a state loyal to the Mughal emperor.

Khafi Khan records in his Muntakhab-ul-Lubab: ‘On the capture of Golconda, the Emperor appointed Abdur Rahim Khan as censor of the city of Haiderabad with orders to put down infidel practices and innovations, and destroy the temples and build mosques on the sites.’ That was in 1687 AD. In 1690 AD, he ordered destruction of temples at Ellora, Trimbakeshwar, Narasinghpur, and Pandharpur.

Aurangzeb also destroyed, Kashi Vishwanath Temple in Kashi, Uttar Pradesh - which considered as the most scared hindu temple and land.

In 1698 AD, the story was repeated at Bijapur. According to Mirat-i-AhmadT: 'Hamidud-din Khan Bahadur who had been deputed to destroy the temples of Bijapur and build mosques there, returned to court after carrying out the order and was praised by the Emperor.' As late as 1705 AD, two years before he died, 'the emperor, summoning Muhammad Khalil and Khidmat Rai, the darogha of hatchet-men' ordered them to demolish the temple of Pandharpur, and to take the butchers of the camp there and slaughter cows in the temple.' Cow-slaughter at a temple site was a safeguard against Hindus rebuilding it on the same spot.

The saddest part is, all of this information, the bloodiest part of Indian History is never shown to the people, they grow up learning, Mughals were great emperors that built great things. When none of that holds any ounce of truth. It should be said without any censorship, these tyrants destroyed the culture, tradition and religions of India.

With all this information, if you're still defending these tyrants, if you still "want them around", if you still insist "it wasn't that bad", you absolutely do not care about "human rights", every activism you take part in is just performative. And I do not respect you or your opinion on any social issue.

Wellington

Since people seem to really like the fanmade map and the mage poster, I decided to draw another map but featuring Wellington, the ex-capital city of this version of New Zealand!! :DD

So here's some information on the region :DD

Wellington:

Since the Rash, Wellington is no longer the capital city of New Zealand as it has become a military settlement. After the collapse of Auckland as well as the majority of the North Island, the NZ army began to build a barrier around the increasingly shrinking region to protect its remaining inhabitants.

Even 100 years after the Rash, people still call it ‘Windy Wellington’ due to the city’s location between the two islands. And it is still used as the gateway to the South Island.

Karori & Makara:

Karori is a suburb located at the western edge of the urban area of Wellington, New Zealand, 4 km from the city center and was once one of New Zealand's most populous suburbs.

After people were forced to leave their homes, some were too stubborn to leave and decided to stay in Karori and Makara instead. The army tried to kick them out at first but eventually gave up. 

Karori has become a small town where members of the army like to hang out, while Makara has been used as farmland for growing vegetables . It is also the home of one of the three mage academies with the other two located in Christchurch and Invercargill.

Kiwi have truly made the hills of Wellington home and there’s a growing chance you might just stumble upon signs of one as they spread out. Sixty-three kiwi have been released into the vast hill country south-west of Wellington city, around Mākara, since November last year as part of the Capital Kiwi Project. The project’s founder and self-confessed “bird nerd”, Paul Ward, said the “rewilding” had seen kiwi moving further out from where they were originally released. “Kiwi have come home to the hills and, as expected, they are starting to disperse.” He said they had been monitoring male kiwi to understand nesting habits and how the population, and hopefully the next generation of kiwi, was settling in. Of the 15 kiwi being monitored, most had “stayed put” around where they had been released near Terawhiti Station. “A couple of them have gone adventuring further afield ... One of those birds was located not far from the skyline track behind Karori about a week or two ago.” It was exciting that people heading out for a night ride or a walk along the skyline had the prospect of seeing footprints and hearing kiwi, he said. With birds now likely to be in areas closer to people, the local community also needed to take responsibility to help ensure their safety. “It’s about laying out the welcome mat for them on their return,” Ward said. Of particular concern was people out with their dogs, with those out in the western reserves – Mākara Peak mountain bike park, Karori and Mākara Cemeteries, and The Skyline track – asked to keep them on a lead. “The vision really is based on people and looking after this taonga species. Wellingtonians have shown they are incredibly up for that to date and this is the next step, managing our dogs responsibly.”

Yes, YES! Go forth, my fluffy, flightless friends! Today Karori, tomorrow the world! Well, Karori a bit further east, maybe.

What We Do in the Shadows (2014, dir. Jemaine Clement and Taika Waititi)

Pleasant evening watching the sun set from the top of Johnson’s Hill #johnstonshill #karori #wellington #sunset (at Johnson’s Hill Summit.) https://www.instagram.com/p/CraUv_XrNEk/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Hiii!

Vrindawan..... I've lived there, I love it because you can go out into the streets and just dissociate.

I visit all the temples almost every month, like....the banke bihari ji, dwarkadhish, Prem mandir, Nerm karori baba ka mandir, Shanti kunj, pagal baba ka mandir, and the vatsalya gram + iskon sometimes.

Aajao yaar yahaan, saffron clad sadhus and sadhvis flock the streets, padyatris with laathi and laddu gopal all year round, Gau Mata ka aashirvaad, banadron ki harkat

Man, vrindawan is my essence now, I love it.

Sounds like a dream. Will visit soon, really really want to. Honestly, I have the urge to just settle there, a very strong urge. I can imagine how pure and beautiful it would feel to live on the holy land of Radha Krishna, be able to visit the temples all the time and see all the yatras. Bohot icha hai ki bas wahan aakar Radhe Radhe bolte saare mandiro mai jau, Vrindavan ki galiyon mai ghumu aur wahan seva karu😭🥹

RadheKrishn.💙
