Did she just tell an alligator what to do? 😳

Anyways, season one of Dr Who 2005 is an actual gift, it’s funny and emotional, Christopher Eccleston has such fantastic gravitas as the dr, Billie piper is so charismatic as rose, the writing is phenomenal and honestly if I’m ever having a bad mental health day (like rn) I just like to rewatch the limited content we got with nine cos he was such a fucking legend

Canon Torchwood facts, as written on the Torchwood books and audios (1/?):

the human stress response seems so maladaptive!

To be fair 99% of our evolutionary stress response was meant to deal with far more immediately conclusive scenarios than the tedious bullshit we put up with these days.

very very slow tigers are chasing me

not to leave a serious comment on a silly post but one of the best pieces of advice I ever got about stress was to SLEEP but secondly, when overwhelmed, lay in a bed and intentionally hold all your muscles clenched. clench EVERYTHING. hold it for a few seconds, then let go. It tricks your animal fight-or-flight monkey brain into thinking it had, and won, a fight, and some of the stress response will leave you

Ponies at the annual Chincoteague Pony Swim.

IT’S THEM

THE ATLANTIC MINIATURE SELKIE

no really these little hoofed bastards are starting to get weirdly saltwater-marsh adapted.  They’re excellent swimmers that paddle around in the coastal atlantic for fun, can cope with drinking salt and brackish water a large portion of the year, and are straddling that fun line between domestic and wild that means some of them aren’t scared of humans but sure aren’t fond of them either.

T’was 4 AM and I was thinking about horrible horse teeth and not the proper names of assorted mythical creatures.

Those posts that are like “people have always been stupid about new technologies – folks used to be afraid of electricity!” kind of get my goat. Like, yeah, folks did used to be afraid of electricity. Because when municipal electrical grids were first being rolled out, safety standards were nonexistent, household wiring was often inadequately insulated, nothing was properly grounded, and people would routinely die from touching a lamp. Context matters!

And things didn’t improve for a long time. As a child my mum was thrown across the room by a shock she got from an old lamp. 

I love you too.

“Scrappy baby.” “screppy.” “Scrappy Baby.” “screppy beeb.” “Scrappy BABY.” “screppy BABYBABYBABYBABYBABYBABY”

This would be an incredibly cursed animal to let out into the wild. Imagine hearing this while camping.

For those of you that have never dealt with riot cops

I know most of you are following me because of video game stuff so this is gonna be the only thing I say about the shit that is going down I promise.

The police do some things nationwide when it comes to peaceful protests.

1. This is the most important one for here NO ONE GIVES A FUCK ABOUT TUMBLR WHEN THIS SHIT IS GOING DOWN. No cops are checking tumblr no protestors are checking tumblr. I am writing this guide for people who are here on tumblr to understand that the tactics that are being used are the same ones that have been used for the past 20 plus years on every peaceful protest.

2. Dispersal orders will be given as if they have been said more than once and then acted upon immediately. This is to allow them to kick the shit out of you and then claim it’s your fault for not following orders.

3. “Less lethal force” methods will be used. Less Lethal is not “non-lethal” the police do not have access to those things. Less lethal force includes tear gas, pepper spray, rubber bullets, flash bangs and bean bag shotguns. These can kill but are designed to do as little damage as possible. The police however will use them in ways to cause lethal damage. The equipment will be used in intentionally dangerous ways to increase the fear factor.

4. The police will use every means possible to create fear in the protestors. Most people who go to these kinds of protests have never been to one before in their life. Most people have never had a gun pointed at them especially by a cop. Most of the time when someone is threatening you you think to call the police but when the police are the ones causing the threat then you get a sinking feeling.

5. If there is no one filming there is no evidence of what happened. That means that if they want to start beating people up first thing they have to do is get the media and the people with livestreaming capabilities out of the way. THE MEDIA WILL BE TARGETED SPECIFICALLY they will later be counted as collateral damage.

6. After clearing the media and doing what they do they will then blame it on the protestors. “They were violent.” “Planting bombs we had to stop them.” “They were on drugs.” etc etc. People believe police officers over the word of the average citizen. They will spin it so the protestors look like demons.

7. If violence does not stop the protestors then provocateurs will be used. A provocateurs is an undercover police officer that is “sent in to know what the protestors are up to” but really are there to start anti-police violence that the police will later use to justify their actions. I’ve had one once attempt to get me to set police cars on fire. If you see someone making the protestors look violent or unreasonable you might want to consider if they are a provocateur.

8.The president will be sad that the events are happening but will not do much more than offer his condolences. This will happen even while the UN is asking for intervention.

9. The media will spin the story as that the only things they have to go on are the words of the police since most of the time they are to lazy to interview protestors. Fox news will make the protestors seem like gangsters or anarchists.

10. People will be arrested for no reason and not given medical care. That includes medication for non protest related things. I remember having a friend get arrested and then held for 24 hours without access to his kidney medicine (he was later released without charge). The police will hold the protestors for a while and then release them because “no papers were filed”. This removes people from the protest and keeps them from having a coherent and continuous force. You can try to sue but chances are it will cost thousands of dollars and you won’t get much in return.

11. “free speech zones” aka you can protest over here until you actually are ok with that then we will move you out of there for “causing a disturbance”

12. Police officers from out of town will be bused in because local cops may go “to easy” on protestors.

Old post from when Ferguson was happening. 8 is obviously no longer accurate.

New additions that I can’t believe I missed:

13. Write your lawyers number on your arm with sharpie. Everything you bring will be taken from you when you are arrested.

14. Use 1 part water 2 parts liquid anti-acid for cleaning tear gas. Its an acid like hot peppers but genetically modified to be much worse. Its against the Geneva convention to use it in war this shit is bad. Alternatively use milk.

15. It’s hot out there bring water.

And remember its 2020 covid19 is still a thing and you are meetong in large groups. Wear protection.

Well, that explains why cops were destroying protesters’ crates of milk.

Take every precaution you can!

I suspect the presidents attack on the media are also why they are targeting the reporters more than usual. But I never thought of why they were. Great post OP.

If you are a contact wearer like me, bring googles.
