Welcome to the #YachtieWorld @fridafjelde ⚓️⁠ ⁠ Hi 👋 My name is Frida and I'm from Norway. 🇳🇴⁠ ⁠ I have a great love for the outdoors, water sports, sunsets, and being active. Seeing as yachting can offer all of the above and more, I am finding a position as a Deckhand and/or Stewardess too appealing to resist. I consider myself to be adventurous as I am always willing to take on a challenge. Finding the right job for me means enjoyable employment, which in return, offers loyalty and longevity.⁠ ⁠ I truly enjoy travelling and being a part of a good team. From my military experience, I know what it is like to be a part of a good team that has each other's backs, solves the 'unsolvable' tasks together, and finds humour in even the toughest times. I wish to contribute to this by being a fun, positive, and motivated addition to the crew. I am a fast learner and a determined individual, and I believe my strong work ethic, ability to follow instructions, and function under pressure will be of benefit to the boat and the crew. I am looking forward to learning from an experienced crew, and seeing wherever the wind takes me!⁠ ⁠ See CV: (link in bio) @fridafjelde⁠ ⁠ ⚓️: @yachtieworld #YachtieWorld⁠ #AvailableYachtie #availableyachties #yachtie #yachties #yachtcrew #superyacht #superyachting #stewardess #deckstew #deckhand #chiefstewardess #firstofficer #yachtcaptain #yachtjobs #yachtrecruitment #yachting (at Antibes) https://www.instagram.com/p/CfeWALrKc_H/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

"Colossea"
Colossea is a megayacht with a detachable superstructure, and that superstructure just happens to be a blimp. It's not just any blimp, though: it's a modern interpretation of the iconic, history-making Norge (ex N1), which marked the first verified expedition to the North Pole on May 12, 1926.
The creation of Roald Amundsen and Lincoln Ellsworth was piloted to glory by Captain Umberto Nobile at a time when humanity's dream of flight was just beginning.

just remember, the studios not paying their writers and actors fairly caused the strike
which caused venom 3 to be delayed
never forget that the people responsible for this are NOT the writers and actors. this all falls on the rich fucks at the studios who refuse to give up a tiny fraction of their profits to pay the people who make their products.
the big studios took away your symbrock
not the little guys

Operating an SY [Superyacht] is expensive and ecologically damaging. On average, an SY over 71 meters/233 feet uses 500 liters/132 gallons of gasoline an hour, and annual fuel costs for an average SY are around $400,000. From available data, we estimated that an average (71 meter) SY uses about 107,000 gallons gasoline/year and produces 2.1 million pounds of carbon dioxide emissions annually. Thus, the fleet of 300 SY produces approximately 627 million pounds of carbon dioxide emissions a year. That very large figure needs to be placed in context. To do so, we compare the carbon and gasoline footprint of Sys owned by the wealthy to the average vehicle—a more affordable mode of transportation for the average person operated in the United States. An average new car gets 25.5 miles per gallon (mpg) in the United States. According to the U.S. Department of Transportation, an average person drives about 13,476 miles, using 528.5 gallons of gas, and generates 10,358.6 pounds of CO2 pollution annually. Thus, one average SY produces as much CO2 pollution as 202 average cars, and, annually, the SY fleet (N = 300) uses as much gasoline as 60,600 cars that get 25.5 mpg. Another way to illustrate the annual ecological harm caused by SY is to compare the CO2 emissions from the 300 largest SY to the CO2 emissions of entire nations. The SY fleet carbon emissions (nearly 630 million pounds), for example, is similar to the emissions of the 10.6 million inhabitants of Burundi (654.02 million pounds), and 5.7 times larger than the carbon footprint (111,556,039 pounds) of the small (36,157 inhabitants) developed nation of Liechtenstein. Thus, the carbon footprint of the global SY fleet of the wealthy produces as much ecological disorganization as entire nations of people.

HEY YOU
YEAH YOU
Wanna show you a thing.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Pretty, huh? It’s two different lesbian flags, both crocheted using ombré yarn to add a little more something-something to the colors. Handmade. (Crochet cannot be replicated by machine.)
Anyway these items are 40”x40” (just over 100x100cm), available for commission, and…wait for it…
…while they cost $350 total, up front you pay only $50 or the cost of materials (whichever is greater). If I have to buy materials, this ensures I’m not out the money if you decide you no longer want the item (yarn is not cheap). If I happen to have the colors already in my stash, this is basically a stake to make sure I don’t get left holding the bag on a color combination that may be hard to sell later. The remaining $300 is owed in 6-8 weeks when I finish and ship your item. The flag above that you may not be familiar with is a commission with a satisfied buyer, so I’m pretty sure if you want a confirmation you will actually get what you ordered, I can refer you to them.
ITEM SPECS:
—40x40”/100x100cm
—allergen-free acrylic (I would love to work in wool but I’m allergic and stuff like alpaca would take this way out of all our price ranges)
—completed in the round using Russian “magic” joins (knotless join; no loose ends)
—any color combination you like (Pride flag? Favorite colors? Just want something to match your decor?) provided I can find the appropriate colorways. Any item requiring significant amounts of black will require a price discussion due to a significant increase in labor.
—Ombré colors may be “chopped” (cutting up the skein to make each stripe start and end neatly at the end of the row) or I can let them flow, as you prefer. Chopped versions may require extra yarn.
THE COST INCLUDES:
—Seven skeins of acrylic yarn; this is the amount necessary to produce a four-color/four-ombré blanket. Contact me for math on additional colors.
—all labor, billed at approx. $7/hr. The price will not increase from the quoted price due to additional hours on my part unless the additional labor is due to significant use of black, in which case the cost will be discussed before the item is begun.
—a card containing 12” each of all colors used, from the relevant dye lots, in case of an accident requiring repair. Additional lengths will be provided if a color takes up a significant portion of the blanket (for example, if it’s only solid white and solid red).
—shipping within the contiguous United States or a $14 discount on overseas shipping (this is the cost within the US)
—color consultation on the precise colorways used for your item, should something require interpretation
Any delays in the process will be clearly communicated. On this I will absolutely refer you to my last commission; the company encountered supply chain issues that delayed the gray, and sourcing the desired pink for the exterior 5” turned out to be almost impossible. (But I did it!) I began work with the inside colors as soon as the gray was available and kept the client abreast of What Is Happening Now With The Pink, including offering secondary contingency options.
I cannot make the lipstick lesbian (“pink stripe”) flag. This is not due to any personal beef with the flag or with lesbians, but rather The Crafter’s Eternal Beef With This Flag Specifically: try source all seven colors, in the same weight, from the same brand, all currently in production, take this sword because it’s dangerous to go alone, good luck. Keep in mind if you use ombrés for this you’re adding a good 5-10 hours in terms of sorting the colors. The closest I’ve managed to get is the sunset-flag-inspired ombré above. I have tried. Do not get angry at me for this, get angry at whatever dumbass designed the flag without looking at readily-available ranges of craft supplies. I’m happy to work with you on a “we can try to get close” design, but the full color range just is not there. I’m sorry.
I cannot make the Progress Pride flag. It’s a beautiful flag and I have some great ideas for how I’d love to do it when I learn to make chevrons properly, but I’m not happy with the quality I’ve been able to produce and I will not release work I’m unhappy with. (Check back in a year. I’m learning some new stitches that may remedy this.) This is also true of the Queer Chevron flag, for the same reason. I’m happy to make a regular trans flag, Philadelphia (black and brown stripe) Pride flag, or Inclusive (final Gilbert Baker design, 2019) Pride flag instead.
Interested? Christmas and Chanukkah are only seven weeks away. NOW is the time to order if you saw this and went “oooh, that’d be great for…”
Support your small fibercrafters, buy a handmade blanket! You can contact me via DM if you’re interested. (And if you’re wondering: yes, I can make hat/scarf sets, too—just ask for a quote.)

Clarence Thomas and the generosity of a far-right dark-money billionaire
Tumblr media
Clarence Thomas has set some important precedents in his career as a Supreme Court justice — for example, the elevation of the unrepentant rapist Brett Kavanaugh to the bench could never have occurred but for the trail blazed by Thomas as a sexually harassing, pubic-hair distributing creep boss:
https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2021/10/01/30-years-after-her-testimony-anita-hill-still-wants-something-from-joe-biden-514884
If you’d like an essay-formatted version of this post to read or share, here’s a link to it on pluralistic.net, my surveillance-free, ad-free, tracker-free blog:
https://pluralistic.net/2023/04/06/clarence-thomas/#harlan-crow
Today, Thomas continues to steer the court into new territory — for example, he’s interested in banning same-sex marriage again:
https://www.politico.com/news/2022/06/24/thomas-constitutional-rights-00042256
And of course, he’s set precedent by hearing cases related to the attempted overthrow of the US government, despite the role his wife played in the affair:
https://www.npr.org/2022/03/30/1089595933/legal-ethics-experts-agree-justice-thomas-must-recuse-in-insurrection-cases
Thomas is not alone in furthering the right’s mission to destroy the morale of constitutional law scholars by systematically delegitimizing the court and showing it to be a vehicle for partisan politics and dark money policy laundering, but he is certainly at the vanguard:
https://pluralistic.net/2023/03/25/consequentialism/#dotards-in-robes
Today, Propublica published an expose on the vast fortune in secret gifts bestowed upon Thomas by the billionare GOP megadonor Harlan Crow, who is also one the most significant funders of political campaigns that put business before Thomas and the Supreme Court:
https://www.propublica.org/article/clarence-thomas-scotus-undisclosed-luxury-travel-gifts-crow
The story, reported by Joshua Kaplan, Justin Elliott and Alex Mierjeski is a masterwork of shoe-leather investigative journalism, drawing on aviation records, social media posts and other “open source” intelligence to expose the illegal, off-the-books “gifts” from a billionaire to an unaccountable Supreme Court justice with a lifetime appointment.
Here are a two of those gifts: a private jet/superyacht jaunt around Indonesia valued at $500,000; and a $500,000 gift to Ginni Thomas’s Tea Party group (which pays Ginni Thomas $120,000/year).
On top of that are gifts that are literally priceless: decades’ worth of summer vacations at Camp Topridge, Crow’s private estate, with its waterfall, great hall, private chefs, 25 fireplaces, thee boathouses, clay tennis court, batting range, 1950s-style soda fountain and full-scale reproduction of Hagrid’s hut.
Summer retreats to Topridge allow business leaders like Leonard Leo — the Federalist Society bankroller and mastermind who set Trump up to pack the Supreme Court — to coordinate in private with Thomas:
https://pluralistic.net/2020/09/29/betcha-cant-eat-just-one/#pwnage
They also allow top execs from PWC, Verizon and other corporations who may have business before the court to establish a warm, collegial relationship with a judge whose decisions can make billions for their employers. In its reporting, Propublica points out that Thomas got to hang out on Crow’s superyacht with Mark Paoletta, who was then general counsel for Trump’s OMB, and who has opposed any tightening of ethics rules for Supreme Court judges: “there is nothing wrong with ethics or recusals at the Supreme Court.”
Crow and Thomas also hobnob together at Crow’s Texas ranch, and at the Bohemian Grove, the Bay Area’s ultra-luxe retreat for rich creeps. Crow bought Thomas a private superyacht cruise through New Zealand, another through the Greek islands, and a river trip around Savannah, GA. He also traveled around the country on Crow’s private jet — even a short private jet trip is valued around $70,000.
Crow also makes many donations on Thomas’s behalf, from a $105,000 donation to Yale Law School for the “Justice Thomas Portrait Fund” to paying for a 7 foot tall, 1,800 lb bronze statue of the nun who taught Thomas in the eighth grade, which now stands in a New York Catholic cemetery.
This is without precedent. No Supreme Court justice in US history received comparable gifts during their tenure on the bench. Federal judges quoted in the story call it “incomprehensible,” noting that US judges bend over backwards not to owe anyone any favors, going so far as to book restaurant reservations without using their titles.
Virginia Canter, a former US government ethics lawyer of bipartisan experience said Thomas “seems to have completely disregarded his higher ethical obligations,” adding “it makes my heart sink.”
The Supreme Court’s own code of ethics prohibits justices from engaging in conduct that gives rise to the “appearance of impropriety,” but the code is “consultative,” and there are no penalties for violating it. But US judicial officers — including Thomas — are legally required to disclose things like private jet trips. Thomas did not. In general, justices must report any gift valued at more than $415, where a gift is “anything of value.” This includes instances in which a gift is given by a corporation whose owner is the true giver.
Crow is a Red Scare-haunted plutocrat who says his greatest fear is “Marxism.” He was a key donor to the anti-tax extremists at the Club For Growth, and has served on the board of the American Enterprise Institute — climate deniers who also claimed that smoking didn’t cause cancer — for 25 years.
Crow is a proud dark-money source, too, whose $10m in acknowledged donations to Republican causes and candidates are only the tip of the iceberg, next to the dark money he has provided to groups he declines to name, telling the New York Times, “I don’t disclose what I’m not required to disclose.”
Crow claims that the vast sums he’s lavished on Thomas — who, again, presides over the test cases that Crow is helping to put before him — are just “hospitality.” Crow called the private retreats with business leaders and top government officials “gatherings of friends,” and added that he was “unaware of any of our friends ever lobbying or seeking to influence Justice Thomas” while at his private estates or on his superyacht or private plane.
For his part, Thomas publicly maintains that he hates luxury. In a Crow-financed documentary about Thomas’s life, Thomas tells the camera, “I prefer the RV parks. I prefer the Walmart parking lots to the beaches and things like that. There’s something normal to me about it. I come from regular stock, and I prefer that — I prefer being around that.”
Judges often have to make determinations about conflicts of interest, and lawyers have an entire practice devoted to preventing conflicts from arising. I doubt whether Thomas himself would consent to have a dispute of his own tried in front of a judge who had received millions in gifts from his opponent.
The Supreme Court’s power comes from its legitimacy. The project of delegitimizing the court started with the right, and Democrats have been loathe to participate in any activity that would worsen the court’s reputation. As a result, the business lobby and authoritarian politicians have had free rein to turn the court into a weapon for attacking American workers, American women, and LGBTQ people.
It doesn’t have to be this way. When the Supreme Court blocked all of FDR’s New Deal policies — which were wildly popular — FDR responded by proposing age limits for Supreme Court judges. When the Supremes refused to contemplate this, FDR asked Congress for a law allowing him to appoint one new Supreme Court judge for every judge who should retire but wouldn’t.
As the vote on this bill grew nearer, the Supremes reversed themselves, voting to uphold the policies they’d struck down in their previous session. They knew that their legitimacy was all they had, and when a brave president stood up to their bullying, they caved.
https://theconversation.com/packing-the-court-amid-national-crises-lincoln-and-his-republicans-remade-the-supreme-court-to-fit-their-agenda-147139
The Supreme Court has moved America further away from the ideals of pluralistic democracy than we can even fathom, and they’re just getting started. They are taking a wrecking ball to the lives of anyone who isn’t a wealthy conservative, and they’re doing it while accepting a fortune in bribes from American oligarchs.
Have you ever wanted to say thank you for these posts? Here’s how you can: I’m kickstarting the audiobook for my next novel, a post-cyberpunk anti-finance finance thriller about Silicon Valley scams called Red Team Blues. Amazon’s Audible refuses to carry my audiobooks because they’re DRM free, but crowdfunding makes them possible.

Leading Ladies of Yachting 👩‍✈️⚓️ The first International Day for Women in Maritime focuses on the theme "Training-Visibility-Recognition: Supporting a barrier-free working environment”. The International Day for Women in Maritime provides a platform to highlight and celebrate the achievements of women in maritime and identify areas of improvement for gender balance. 18 May 2022 #wordsofwisdom #leadingladies “I am quite determined and when I set a goal, I reach it. Before long, the men in the industry became my greatest assets and support! I think that as more and more women show up and succeed in male dominated roles it just opens the doors for other women that might need a little nudge to pursue their dream.” - @captain_kellyjgordon “Hard work gets you where the good luck takes you 🥰 - @pullnorthyachting “Haha my advice is always know your rights ;) Always have a contract and make sure it’s signed by you and the captain.” - @theyachtpurser “Being successful is a journey not a destination, the secret to it is to stay true to your essence don’t loose yourself along the way. Fear and self doubt will always be there. Invest in personal development to know who you reallly are and what you stand for.” - @onboardwithmarcela “You’ve lived through your worst days. So live for your best. Because they’re coming” - @aeskoyles “My mother told me to be a lady. And for her, that meant be your own person, be independent.” — Ruth Bader Ginsburg - @liquid.yacht.wear “Do a little more each day than you think you can.” - @onshorecellars ⚓️: @yachtieworld #YachtieWorld #leadersinyachting #maritimewomen #internationaldayforwomeninmaritime #yachting #superyachting #yachtcrew #yachtcaptain #yachtingindustry #sheofthesea #womeninyachting #femalecaptain #celebratingwomen (at 𝘼𝙧𝙤𝙪𝙣𝙙 𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙒𝙤𝙧𝙡𝙙) https://www.instagram.com/p/CdtzkZrqjE8/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

"Marian II"
Initially launched in New York in 1931 and christened Cleopatra, Maid Marian II was renamed by her new owner, socialite Mrs. Ruth Nash Bliss, in 1933 as a nod to her brother’s luxury yacht, Maid Marian.
