Miss Major in The Trans List (2016)

We really are a police state.

It’s worse than that. That wasn’t a rubber bullet, that was another tear gas canister–you can see it a few seconds later in the footage when the camera pans over to the advancing cops.

And they shot him in the crotch with it.

If I were feeling charitable I’d say that the cop who fired the shell was aiming for center of mass and miscalculated the distance and hit the guy low.

But I’m not feeling charitable. It’s clear that was a deliberate malicious attack designed to hurt the guy as badly as possible with the weapon at hand. The goal was to cause him pain and intimidate bystanders.

this really is dystopic, isn’t it?

Shout out to the dude who came and helped him up

THIS IS WHY YOU BLACK BLOC. WHEN EVERYONE IS MASKED AND IN ALL BLOC, IT MAKES IT VERY DIFFICULT FOR THE POLICE TO TARGET INDIVIDUALS LIKE THIS

MASK UP, COME IN BLOC, BE PREPARED, YOU. COULD SAVE SOMEONES LIFE

Also get to know your street medics and maybe buy them a drink later. They’ll often be the ones picking you up and making sure you’re good after this shit happens

does anyone know what this graphic says in plain text please thanks

How To Do It: Black Block Tactics

Allow demonstrators to take action without fear of immediate identification. If you choose to wear a mask, wear it right.

Cover Up It is not enough to half cover your face. Even if you get away, the police may use photos or videos to charge you later. Cover your hair, face, arms and hands. Cloth gloves are the best. Take out piercings. Make sure there are no identifying features on your clothes, shoes or backpack. If you bring any materials with you, wipe them down first with rubbing alcohol first to get the prints off. Don’t bring anything you don’t need. Stay Tight If possible, come to a demonstration with a small group of people you trust. Choose your crew based on shared intentions, not just friendship. You’re here to have each other’s back in the streets and follow up if one of you gets arrested or hurt. Strangers needs to protect each other too. Stay physically close, do not spread out, so that if police try to enter the crowd, you can “accidentally” get in their way. The front of the march might need to slow down while the back catches up. Stay moving, though: a tight, mobile crowd is difficult to surround or disperse.

Plan Your Exit Always wear “civilian clothes” under your hoodie so you can de-bloc and blend in a crowd or smoothly walk away. Keep an eye out for danger zones and escape routes. If things heat up, stay calm and act decisively. Commit to your exit when you decide you’re done. Sometimes you have to sprint and hide; sometimes you just step onto the sidewalk and remove your mask. You can de-bloc in the middle of a friendly crowd if you’re sure you are well-screened. Keep It Quiet Bragging and storytelling are natural but they are easy to use against us. If you have to talk, choose someone trustworthy who was with you in the streets. Don’t post anything on facebook you wouldn’t show to a cop. Same goes for Twitter, Instagram, Tumblr. Remember the police will read your texts and call-log if they arrest you. Never, Ever Snitch If arrested, invoke your right to remain silent. Name, address and no more. Captioned under request.

thank you!!!

Hope this can help someone – make sure you don’t wear contact lenses if you fear there might be use of lacrimogenics by the police. It’s highly dangerous for your eyes. If you DO come in contact with teargas, do the rinsing process:

Stick with glasses or, even better given the circumstances with the virus, goggles. Avoid jewelry, especially earrings and necklaces. 

Remember to bring bottles of water, one extra bandana in case you or someone else needs it, and ear plugs, too.

#see but iroh is seeking it whereas sokka is pulled into spirit stuff kicking and screaming (x)

god made ferrets by taking a cat and rolling it between his hands like a long piece of play doh

“Hey! I love you” “You don’t love me, I turn you on” “It’s a form of love, hot stuff”

Kintsugi philosophy - to embrace and highlight the history, struggle, repair in gold for that is where the true beauty lies.

holy shit

If I were Amanda Seyfried I simply would have chosen gay Colin Firth to be my dad. I mean what were her other options? James Bond who can't sing? Pennywise's dad? The choice is clear.

being bi is just having a crush on a girl and being like “damn if i only i was a hot mediocre dude with cheekbones then she would like me :/” and then YOU end up ALSO being attracted to hot mediocre dudes with cheekbones…..the self betrayal
