The recent disaster with the Viking Sky cruise ship that was stranded off the coast of Norway after it lost power has been the subject of national and international news.
But what most of you probably don’t know is that on board that ship was a true hero, a shining example of humanity who goes by the name of Alexus Sheppard.

Alexus basically live-tweeted the entire clusterf*** as it was all going down.
#VikingSky declares #MayDay all engines lost, no power, drifting at sea off #Norway. Very rough seas. 1300 passengers. Massive rescue operation underway. At least 5 helicopters involved as well as many ships. Pray for all souls aboard!

Even with her battery dying and probably very few options to charge her phone, she documented the whole thing.

BUT WAIT, that’s not all! You see, she was also SIMULTANEOUSLY tweeting about gay rights in Tennessee!
May I just point out that brave, dear @alexus309, taking harrowing video aboard #VikingSky as it lists perilously at sea, legit paused to tweet about an article about a gay issue in Tennessee. Bless her multitasking heart like for real. pic.twitter.com/e5rxmi1rte

Before she was even on dry land again, Alexus was already tweeting about Mayor Pete.

I think it’s safe to say we all have a new gay icon now, and her name is Alexus Sheppard.
Thank you EVERYONE for your love and support over these difficult two days. We’re now safely docked in Molda, Norway and have happily been fed and watered.
it’s times like these that make us ALL stronger as caring human beings. It does indeed take a village

ALEXUS FOR PRESIDENT, I say.
