35 Funny And Wholesome Memes That Prove We’re All On The Same ‘Ship’ (New Pics)
Interview With Owner
February is finally here after the longest January in the history of months, but winter is still not over in some parts of the world. Seasonal Affective Disorder (vert aptly shortened to SAD) can feel more heightened with the ongoing natural disasters and political uncertainties.
We're doing our part in keeping your spirits up, Pandas, so, we've got a collection of funny and uplifting posts right here. Today, we're featuring the Instagram page "ship" which shares poignant but humorous observations that are as chucklesome as they are wholesome. Check them out below, and keep reading to find our conversation with the creator of the page behavior analyst Monda Rrusti, too!

I wish my sister had been that kind when it happened to me.. I had a sleepover birthday party for my 8th birthday, and the only one who "showed up" was my 3 year old cousin. My sister (13 and a total bịtch) thought it would be fun to do everything I had planned for my party with my cousin, but she left me out completely. It was a miserable birthday.

I recently learned that wasps LOVE tuna fish. We got invaded and while waiting for a specialist to handle the problem we tried to just avoid them as much as possible. They didn't really come after us. My daughter tried mixing up some tuna fish for a sandwich, turned around to get bread, turned back 5 wasps in the bowl. Dumped it out, tried again, more wasps came to the tuna. She gave up and had PB & J.

Monda's page "ship" is almost 10 years old. It's been going strong since 2016 and has over 400k followers. But the page's format hasn't always been the same, and, more importantly, it wasn't always Monda's page! We chatted about the inception of "ship" with the creator, and she told us some intriguing things about herself and the vision she has for the page.
At the moment, Monda is the only person behind the page. She's a 37-year-old behavior analyst from Florida who lives with her boyfriend, three cats, and a small dog. "I have a bachelor's and master's in applied behavior analysis, and in my professional life, I'm a board-certified behavior analyst working with kids & families with autism," Monda tells Bored Panda.

my mom and i are both non-24 (not because of blindness), likely because we both deal with so much chronic pain and fatigue. we're usually in sync with each other, and tend to start ending our "day" after we've both been up about 12 hours, but then when we sleep it's anywhere from 10 to 20 hours. we wrangle our schedules appropriately when we have an appointment or have to pick groceries up, but otherwise we exist outside normal circadian rhythms. it drives my dad nuts, but he does his own thing, and we do our own thing, and it works for us.

Strange how that works. Parents spend about a 3rd of their kid's childhood picking them up, carrying bags of groceries, lifting up strollers over snowbanks and stairs. But then comes the day the mom can no longer lift her child, and the kid didn't know the last time their mom picked them up was the last time.You would think our strength would increase.
Currently, Monda is based in Daytona Beach, where she has her independent practice. As you scroll through the content from her page, you might notice that she's always been interested in human behavior, especially in dating and relationships.
The story of how this page came to be is quite interesting. It turns out that Monda actually isn't the one who created it back in December 2016. "My brother (a much bigger memer with a higher following at the time) bought this handle @ship from some guy on Twitter named Satan at the time for like $800," Monda tells us.

The meter was supposed to be based on science. Some division of the distance from the equator to the north pole. They got it wrong by a significant percentage. So the meter is basically as much a human construct as the foot.
Lyoness 10 months ago
I believe the difference isn't doing it "wrong" per se but that metric is based on multiples of ten vs a variety of random numbers. In metric 10mm = 1cm, 100cm = 1m, 100m = 1km and so on. It's just more logical that saying there are 5280 feet in a mile.

When you live in a Golden Age of Miracles, it is all too easy to become jaded and assume that this is the natural order of the universe, thus losing sight of the sacrifice and work that went into creating that Golden Age. After a few generations, you are well on the way to losing all of that, as folks begin to assume that 'this is how it always was, and how it always will be, no work required on my part'.

Those who resent others for managing to avoid a hardship are the 'crab bucket' thinkers and we are better off without them. For those who don't know, if a crab fisherman throws the caught crabs into a bucket, he doesn't have to put a lid on it to stop the crabs escaping. If one crab starts to climb out to safety, the other crabs all pull it back down into the bucket and none of them get free.

One of the higher ranking wives decided to ask dad who this mysterious, and very pregnant woman, who seemed to be VERY familiar with best friend, was. Dad's reply?

It was mandatory for a BA to take a class on the Recreation department and Ezras class fit my schedule. It was about learning how to relax.

This is how I've always thought about this, except I've told my daughter when she was a teen, self-harming herself, putting herself down and getting into bad relationships with other "troubled" people, "You need to learn how to healthily love and respect yourself, before you know how to healthily love and respect someone else, and be able to understand what that feels like." This helped her think about the areas in her mental health and the areas that she can take back some control in how she manages her pain and trauma, while avoiding projecting it on others in an inappropriate way, and avoid sticking in a bad relationship out of convenience or taking pity on herself, thinking abuse is what she deserves. I've learned teens do need a lot of guidance and advocacy to get through their toughest times through their last years of adolescence.

All the time. I had thought of doing so much with my 2 weeks of vacation time, and much of that time has been spent scrolling endlessly through short videos, watching youtube videos and catching up on sleep, but staying up so late my days and nights are mixed up and now I have to spend time fixing my wonky schedule before I have to go to work. I made myself start cleaning yesterday. I was just going to do some dusting. Then it became going through books and comics I don't read and finally unpacking my jewellery until my eyes started hurting again. But then I was hungry and then very thirsty. I got up a few times to go to the bathroom. I actually didn't go to sleep until 8:49am, after relishing the thought that my coworkers have started working while I'm cozy in bed.

My slightly autistic trait as a child was walking round the Reptile House and Aquarium at London Zoo babbling away happily to my father about snakes and fish like a small version of human Wikipedia. One day I turned round and realised I'd been followed by a group of American high school kids who insisted I carry on as I'd unintentionally given them most of the answers to a quiz sheet they had to fill out...one of my proudest moments as a veeeeeery odd 7yr old.

For the confused, op was likely telling some story and gave the anecdote of the "cookie monster pajamas pants / monster energy girl." In American and Canadian public schools, dress codes are often unenforceable and so students wear basically whatever. Many students will into school wearing pj pants holding a monster energy drink to get them through the day. When the boyfriend expressed confusion, having never seen this, OP then highlighted another common occurrence, which is students who come to school with cat ear headbands and sometimes a tail. It does not *have* to be a furry thing, this is generally students who just like certain animals or like dressing up. But again, it is a trope in American and Canadian public schools that there is "that kid" who wears a tail and is sometimes regarded as a bit odd. The boyfriend is then doubly confused, further highlighting the divide between the experience in a public school and that of a private school.

I am assuming that they are talking about the furry, as in dress up like a dog or whatever, in her school that would come in PJ's maybe a cookie monster shirt?? and or wear a tail every day whilst drinking Monster energy drinks...

BF never got to experience that as he went to a private/charter, probably religious leaning, High School where this sort of thing is frowned upon and oftentimes punishable by conversion therapy, so ya just don't do it...
