Taylor has lived her entire life as a boy. Hiding away as a serving boy at a local inn, but when a pirate comes stumbling into her life, he brings adventure and horror with him. Whether she wants it or not.

🇩🇪Ausgerechnet am Montag nach dem #Datenschutztag starten Abschlussverhandlungen über ein globales UN-#Überwachungsabkommen, genannt Cybercrimeabkommen. Jede Regierung weltweit - einschließlich Unrechtsregimes wie Russland und China - könnte damit unbemerkt Zugang zu unseren Daten und Echtzeitüberwachung verlangen mit der Begründung aller möglicher Straftaten und mit kaum Daten- und Grundrechtsschutz.
As a #Pirate, I call for an immediate halt to the negotiation of this UN surveillance treaty and instead negotiating an international #NoSpy treaty to protect us from #masssurveillance!
Diese #Chatkontrolle 1.0 schützt nicht vor Missbrauch, sondern kriminalisiert jährlich tausende Jugendlicher und überlastet Strafverfolger.
CDU/CSU und SPD wollen das nächsten Mittwoch im Schnellverfahren durchwinken… Als Europaabgeordneter der #Piraten stimme ich nicht nur dagegen, sondern klage vor Gericht!
This #Chatcontrol 1.0 does not protect against abuse, but criminalizes thousands of young people every year and overburdens law enforcement.
Conservatives, socialists and liberals want to green-light it in a fast-track procedure next Wednesday... As a #Pirate MEP, I'm not just voting against it, I'm taking it to court!
This was the read I needed this morning. The Pirate Queen of Ireland: Gráinne Ní Mháille was not to be f*cked with from Sweary History. Obv NSFW language.
🇬🇧 💶 "Digital euro": #Pirates amendment calls for real digital cash! 💻🏴☠️ In the digital age we should be able to pay as freely and anonymously as with notes and coins.
"US launches more attacks against Houthi rebels
First round of airstrikes by US and Britain were followed by a fresh missile attack on a Red Sea ship by Iran-backed militants."
Today in Labor History January 12, 1876: Working class novelist Jack London was born. As a kid, he was an oyster pirate in Oakland, along the shores of the San Francisco Bay. As a young man, he became a hobo, riding the rails from town to town, looking for handouts and sometimes work. He wrote about these experiences in his short novel, “The Road.” He was also a lifelong alcoholic, which contributed to his early death. In his novel, “John Barleycorn,” he wrote about both his alcoholism and his experiences as a laborer in numerous low-paid, backbreaking jobs. He was also a socialist and a champion of unions and working-class activism. With respect to strikebreakers, he famously wrote: "After God had finished the rattlesnake, the toad, the vampire, He had some awful substance left with which He made a scab. A scab is a two-legged animal with a cork-screw soul, a water-logged brain, a combination backbone of jelly and glue. Where others have hearts, he carries a tumor of rotten principles." London was also one of the first Haoles (non-Native Hawaiian, or white person) to learn how to surf in Hawaii.
You should #pirate my #music if you can't afford it. Maybe you'll like it and support me when you can afford it.
If you are doing that, please let me know your favorites (you don't even gotta tell me how you got it), so I can count that input in place of statistics from #streaming sites to know what people like.
596 years ago today, Hanseatic cities of Northern Germany retained the services of the privateer captain Bartholomeus Voet, his nine ships and 300 men. With dire consequences for my hometown, Bergen - but also to great annoyance for themselves.
A thread:
The Hansa and the Nordic countries were the best of frenemies at this time. The Hansa traded extensively with the Nordics and often waged war as well, typically allying with one Nordic country against another...
🇩🇪Dank Big Sister Johansson wirst du vor Flügen künftig immer deinen Ausweis vorzeigen/hochladen müssen - u.U. sogar bei innerdeutschen Flügen! Natürlich werden künftig auch mehr Daten gesammelt als bisher. In LIBE stimmen heute alle dafür - ich als #Pirat nicht!
🇬🇧In future you will always have to present/upload your ID before flying - possibly even on domestic flights! Plus more data will be collected than before. Everyone in LIBE is voting in favour today - not me as a #Pirate!
Just been told using an adblocker is piracy!??? So I miss something or are people just getting ignorant? Selling and sharing my data with third parties is privacy! And until this is fixed, I use adblockers! #pirate
🇬🇧YouTube wants to force us into surveillance advertising and tracking with an anti-adblock wall. Unacceptable to me as a #Pirate MEP! That's why I asked the EU Commission today to check the legality of adblock detection under the ePrivacy directive.
Thanks Alexander Hanff.
