Suddenly struck with a need to explain to you how boat pronouns work (I work in the marine industry).

When you're talking about the design of the boat, you say "it".

When the boat is still being built, your say "it".

When the boat is nearing completion, you can say "it" or "she".

When the boat is floating in the water you probably say "she", unless there is still a lot of work to be done (e.g. no engine yet) then you say "it".

When the boat is officially launched and operating, you say "she". If you continue to say "it" at this point you are not incorrect but suspiciously untraditional. You are not playing the game.

If you are referring to a boat you don't really know anything about you may say "it" ("there's a big boat, it's coming this way"). But if you know its name, it's probably "she" ("there's the Waverley, she's on her way to Greenock").

If you are talking about boats in general, you say "it" ("when a boat is hit by a wave it heels over")

If you speak about a boat in complimentary terms, it's "she" ("she's a grand boat"). If you are being disparaging it may be it, but not necessarily ("it's as ugly as sin", "she's a grotty old tub").

If she has a boy's name, she's still she. "Boy James", "King Edward", "Sir David Attenborough"? The pronoun is she.

If it's a dumb barge (no engine), you say it. But if it's a rowing boat (no engine), you say she.

I hope this has cleared things up so that you may not be in danger of misgendering floating objects.

i was thinking about this today so how long has YOUR JOB existed- not how long your industry has existed, but how long someone has been doing the work you do as a trade notwithstanding changes in terminology and technology. no unemployed option cuz i cant add more answers sorry... tell me about it in the tags

#i drive boats to survey coastal alaska which first happened probably at least 13000 years ago #was just thinking about how crazy that is that people have been doing that for millennia....

but seriously i do find it so funny that ford was like OH GOD MY PRECIOUS REPUTATION after bill possessed him around other people for all of one night

and then he gets back to this dimension after thirty years and this is now the photo the press associates with his name

#we really didn't get to see nearly enough of ford's reaction to all this in the show #i want just several weeks on that boat to be stan continually going oh yeah also- about things he did in ford's name #like that list of crimes from stanchurian candidate where alex hirsch was like yeah i was up until 2am just coming up with dumb puns #but it's like great you are now on record for teaching a bear to drive. 1st degree thermometer theft. burglebezzlement #1st degree llamacide. snacks evasion. pug trafficking. impersonating a dentist. the list goes on #gravity falls #the book of bill #stanford pines #ford pines #stan pines #stanley pines

Stan Pines' drawings

Plus a Stan drawing of debatable canonicity but I love his signature being a dollar sign

#stanley pines #stan pines #do you ever think about how much stan used to draw and then cry forever #constantly drawing boats....#you can see the lil stanley comic in the jersey devil story.... how long does he have left before his dreams are crushed...#i like to imagine that the lil stanley style we see in the story is where stan managed to get up to a few years after the show's ending #altho talking about inconsistent drawing abilities i wish j3 had dipper's actual drawing style cos its adorable #gravity falls

Bear Fishing by Olga Burmistrova

"This is a real photo, not artificial intelligence. Archie is a retired former circus performer. He was born and raised with people. This bear is very inquisitive and loves the attention of the public. "
