Favorite pirate?

I feel like I’m expected to say Gráinne O’Malley (or the more common anglicized version: Grace O’Malley) since she is considered the “Pirate Queen of Ireland.”

But I have a personal sore spot for Zheng Yi Sao (aka Shi(h) Yang / Ching Shih and a lot others) who is typically considered one of history’s most successful pirates. I used to be able to recite the why but I’d have to look back into it for fear of misremembering lol. She was one aspect I chose for a huge essay I had to do in history and did a large deep dive and found it so cool, there is a reason she is so popular.

(The essay was on the romanticized version of pirates in media, and its the connection to queerness and minority groups, vs actual piracy and how marginalized groups were treated in that world.) Ignore the abomination of a run-on sentence, trust that my essay was much better (it was a college class)

🐠 Daily Fish Fact: 🐠

Leafy Seadragon: The name is derived from their appearance, with long leaf-like protrusions coming from all over the body that serve only as camouflage. The leafy seadragon propels itself utilizing a pectoral fin on the ridge of its neck and a dorsal fin on its back closer to the tail end. These small fins are almost completely transparent and difficult to see as they undulate minutely to move the creature sedately through the water, completing the illusion of floating seaweed. Popularly known as "leafies", they are the marine emblem of the state of South Australia and a focus for local marine conservation.

Still can never let this AU go
