In case anything happens
I usually don’t discuss private matters on social media. But something’s have been done that make me worried for my safety and the safety of my family. I am writing this so that if anything happens to me, physically or psychologically, people are aware of who the perpetrators are.
Earlier this year while living in a building managed by Red Shield Management in Elizabeth, NJ I was filmed showering by the employees from the instructions of Ramon who works at a high position in the company I presume. I wrote countless emails to the company in January of this year when I informed them that I would not be renewing the lease.
During that time my phone and laptop were hacked. I found a new apartment in Orange, NJ managed by Benjamin H Realty, everything was done electronically so the person or people who had access to my hacked phone knew exactly where I would be moving. I was very happy to have a fresh start but after moving I began to suspect the same things were happening.
I spoke to my manager at work who recommended calling the police to come. She informed me that if I called and said there were hidden cameras in my apartment they would come with a device to scan the walls for cameras. That was not what happened after I called them.
Instead two officers came, a middle aged one and a younger office. I showed the older officer a device I purchased from Amazon that detected hidden cameras, he used the device on a wall in the living room and on his body came it buzzed both times. So he was aware that it did work. The same officer told me that in order for a police report to be made I would have to get a psych evaluation. I was driven to the hospital on the back of an ambulance. I was at the behavioral health unit from Tuesday evening to Sunday afternoon, when I was a released. I had a CAT scan, blood and using test done nothing was wrong with those results. They diagnosed me with delusion disorder since they did not believe anything I said and the results didn’t show an issue.
I went to get a psych evaluation on Tuesday, and the psychiatrist informed me that there was nothing wrong with me. I was diagnosed previously due to no one believing anything I said.
I don’t have any mental issues. Everything I am saying happened to me is sadly the truth. If anything happens to me please look into Ramon and Nala, the woman who spread a big lie about me saying I did something when I just walked into the parking lot and looked at me (apparently she found me simply looking at her scary. She was taller and bigger than me at time. I am black and she is not. I assume race placed a major role in her spreading that lie and ‘feeling’ scared of me for simply looking at her). Nala is related or close to the people who live downstairs in the apartment complex my fathers lives at.
I am worried that they have made plans to harm me and I want it known if anything happens to look into apartment 6P in Orange, NJ and check the cameras around March 12 in the evening.
Time to find out ifJudith is a Grimes or a Walsh.
Enjoy!

COLD WEATHER TIPS FROM SOMEONE WHO LIVES WHERE IT’S COLD:
I always see posts about layering clothing, but there are so many more creative ways to help keep you warm if you don’t have a lot of warm clothes. But first, a note on layering clothing:
-Your underlayer is your WICKING layer. That means it is a layer specifically to absorb the moisture your body produces. DO NOT USE COTTON AS A BOTTOM LAYER. Use merino wool if possible, but other good substitutions are nylon, polyester and rayon.
-Your middle layer is for insulation. You want AIR POCKETS in there, NOT tight fitting clothes. This is where you want to put your fluffy sweaters, your fleece, down, fur, flannel, or vests. If you do not have these, you can substitute with multiple layers of long sleeve shirts.
-Your outer layer is for keeping the cold away from your body. If you do not have a jacket, you can put on your thickest piece of clothing and then a raincoat over it. Windbreaker if you have one.
ALSO
-Jeans are the absolute worst at holding heat. Use only as a last resort.
-You can’t really ever have too many layers on your feet. Alternate tucking your layers of pants into your layers of socks to keep your ankles warm!
-Wear a hat OVER a hood if it will fit! This will keep your ears warmest.
TAKE OFF/OUT ANY AND ALL JEWELERY/PIERCINGS
-If you have a medical bracelet, DO NOT REMOVE IT. If you can, tuck a layer of clothes between it and your skin.
NON-CLOTHING TIPS:
-Raid your recycling. Gather all cardboard boxes and break them down so that they are flat. Put them on the floor to add more layers between you and the cooling house. Newspaper will also serve the same purpose.
-In an emergency, you can also layer newspaper between clothing layers. Don’t worry about looking stupid if you’re staying warm.
-If you have a tent, set that sucker up in whatever room you have decided to stay in. Stay in it and keep it zipped shut as much as you can, but do NOT cover the vent at the top. You can put the rain fly up, but make sure there is circulating air for you to breathe.
-You are probably not going to feel very hungry at times. DO NOT STOP EATING OR DRINKING. Digestion produces a lot of body heat and the food will give your body energy to keep itself going.
-The best foods are heavy and full of carbs and proteins. Eat nuts, eggs, pasta, meats, and beans. If you are on a diet, now you’re not. If you’re vegetarian… bulk up on those pastas and nuts.
-Try not to sweat. If you are finding yourself getting damp, take off the outer layer just until you start to cool slightly. Then redress! Your bottom layer should dry quickly, and being wet is dangerous.
-On that note, STAY ACTIVE. You are probably going to want to hunker down and snuggle up, but that will make your muscles cramp. Every 15-20 minutes do something that gets you up and about. Walk circles in the room, do a couple jumping jacks, stretch, whatever. Just enough to move some blood around your body. Don’t get sweaty or out of breath, it’s just a little movement.
-CHAPSTICK. ON YOUR LIPS. ON YOUR NOSE. ON YOUR EARS. ON YOUR KNUCKLES. Don’t let your extremities get dry or cracked.
SIGNS OF HYPOTHERMIA:
-Uncontrollable shivering -Slurred speech -Confusion or memory loss -Dizziness or lack of coordination -Inability to be woken from sleep
CHILDREN AND INFANTS!!!! I CANNOT STRESS THIS ENOUGH.
-Children WILL get colder before you. Make sure they are properly bundled up.
-If you need to breastfeed, put a blanket over the both of you and wait a few minutes for the air to warm before removing or shifting your clothing.
-DO NOT COVER AN INFANTS FACE. ESPECIALLY WHEN SLEEPING. Keep them tucked inside your own clothes when possible. As close to your heart and stomach as possible.
-Put chapstick on children’s cheeks and clean their face often if they are crying or wiping at their nose. This will prevent cracked skin and irritation.
-Make sure your children are staying as hydrated as you! They are going to fuss and not want to drink cold things, but they NEED liquids.
SIGNS OF HYPOTHERMIA IN INFANTS AND TODDLERS ARE DIFFERENT:
-Shortness of breath -Cold, red skin -Lethargy or listlessness
Finally:
CHECK ON YOUR NEIGHBORS. CHECK ON CHILDREN. CHECK ON THE ELDERLY. STAY SNUGGLED. STAY SAFE.
Hey guys, I am boosting this again for winter 2022/23 with Texas and New England in mind. If you haven’t heard, the energy companies for these areas in particular have expressed that they may need to conduct rolling blackouts throughout the winter due to energy shortages. We are also expected to have a very cold winter.
It’s important to get your chimneys inspected if you have a wood stove/fireplace/ect to make sure they are clean and safe. Store wood an appropriate distance from the heat source.
If your power is out and therefor the water as well, and you HAVE to flush that toilet, you can take the top off the tank and pour some in before each flush. DO NOT waste your drinking water on this. Use a bucket of water from a pond or run the bath and fill up a bucket beforehand. Do not use pool water. I haven’t looked into what chlorine would do to a septic tank/public water supply but I assume it’s nothing good.
If you have questions about the blackouts, I suggest calling your energy provider (I need to do this too) to see if they have more information or a schedule of when they might need to start implementing shut downs.
Buckle up and bundle up, everyone. Be safe 💜
Wear a layer under your jeans. Denim, when it gets cold, doesn’t keep that cold away from your body. The old mountaineer’s saying is “Denim kills”, because so many people lost in the mountains are found dead from exposure when wearing only one layer and that layer being only cotton denim when the temperature dropped below freezing all night, especially when it is wet. as OP said, wear layers. Wool is the best because even if it is wet it retains the ability to keep heat in the body. Wear a hat – a lot of heat escapes through the head – and if you can manage it, gloves as well as socks. If you knit, you can make your own; if you know someone who knits, see if they’ll knit for you, swap skills so you make your fantastic soup and you get gloves and/or socks. Fingerless mitts are also surprisingly warm.
Do all you can to stay dry – it is much harder to get yourself back to warm if your clothes have gotten wet.
Signal boost.
7 Ways of Dealing with the Winter Blues
1. Stay active - Make sure you build exercise into your life.
2. Stay warm – Wear plenty of clothes, and have hot drinks and meals as feeling cold can make you feel depressed.
3. Go outside – And get all the light you can. The days may be short but you can still grab some fresh air.
4. Eat a healthy diet – As high carbs affect our mood, and a drop in sugar level will cause feelings to slump.
5. Connect with other people – Don’t isolate yourself. Being with good friends and family can keep your spirits high.
6. Keep busy – Try a new activity or do something you might love, as feeling bored and empty exacerbates the blues.
7. Play your favourite music – The kind that lifts your mood, and blows away the cobwebs, and leaves you feeling good.
The Walking Dead ended with them and their legacy like...
Four times taller than the Niagara Falls, the majestic Kaieteur Falls in Guyana sits in the Amazon Forest. At a dizzying 741 feet, it is also known as the world’s largest single drop waterfall!
That looks like a lot more than one drop of water.
Hey quick question but why does it look like one of the Plagues
For people asking about the colour:
(1) time of day and lighting plus angle. This isn’t thé only red photo out there, but it’s certainly one of the most striking I’ve seen.
(2) the water flowing into it is very brown, there’s a lot of sediment in it. Conglomerate and sandstone is the mix I saw listed when I checked.
(3) the foam mixing in will make the brown colour lighter which can make it easier for us to pick out the red elements
(4) waterfall is haunted.
“At the base of Kaieteur the force of the falling water creates a weird phenomenon – constant hurricane. There are constant waves in the small pond, the air is full with fleeces of foam gyrating chaotically. The wind is pulling the visitors and it seems that the day is grey and stormy. But – as one leaves the base of falls – it turns out that the sun is shining and all trees stand calmly.”
Hope that helps for anyone looking through for the answer!
Am I the only one whose eyes went straight to the very large birds first?
BLACK PANTHER: WAKANDA FOREVER (2022) dir. Ryan Coogler | Official Teaser
if u want to donate to haiti these are the organizations u can donate to instead of the red cross
hope for Haiti has Roxanne Gay's father Michael in their board, he owns GDG, the largest concrete supplier in Haiti. 5% of the company is owned by Patrick Delatour, Haiti's former minister of tourism, and Michael Gay's cousin.
By 2011, it had received $1.2 million in no-bid contracts.
Roxanne only disclosed this after a journalist confronted her abt it on twitter.
As an Haitian lemme tell you, that family profited immensely after every natural disaster in Haiti, and did nothing to improve infrastructure, buildings etc that could withstand future natural disasters.
Please do not donate to Hope for Haiti. That money will go to the Gay family and no Haitian life will see improvement by them.
Random Acts: Their board is made up of volunteers, not employees. A fantastic org that wants to help.
Project Medishare: Empowering Haitians to provide and receive access to quality health care since 1994. Their programs are community-based and Haitian led.
Money spell! Reblog to charge it with your intent; the more people see it, the more powerful it becomes. Magic should be fun!
A UK BLM activist was shot last night in London at 3am (23rd May 2021) after the Palestine protest.
Her name is Sasha Johnson.
She's not dead yet, but it's unlikely she will survive as she was shot in the head.
She has been heavily involved in organising protests over the last year as well as making speeches, and has been receiving death threats for it which the Met hasn't done anything about.
I'm sharing this bc I know I won't see much of it, but also to let people know that this shit does happen in the UK and it's not acceptable.
I'm hoping that there's a boost in attention paid to this story from over here, with Tamika posting about it earlier. She's got a lot of eyes on her in America.
