tutorial videos are so annoying cause the creator of the tutorial has done it countless times so they think everyone else already knows what they’re doing cause they do and therefore the viewer has an incredibly hard time following along unless they’ve seen the video before and/or knows how to do what’s in the video, which they haven’t/don’t cause they’re watching the tutorial for that exact reason.
hey there LGBTQ kids who are also Christian/Jewish! If you feel like you’re disobeying God, questioning your faith, or feel wrong and dirty for loving who you love, there’s this fantastic site I found today called hoperemains that accurately and thoroughly combs through scripture and its (many) mistranslations, validates your orientation, and basically let’s you know that you’re not pissing off God. It’s insanely thorough and after reading through every page on the entire site it’s super helpful. Go check it out!
No no no! Jewish LGBTQ kinderlach! Go to Keshet!
hoperemains is completely from a Christian perspective, and not pluralistic or interfaith at all.
If you reblogged the first post from me please reblog this amendment so the Jewish peeps can access this resource too!
Trans Jewish kids, you can go to TransTorah as well!
Muslim LGBTQ kids, you can go to iamnotharaam! It’s run by a mod squad of different genders and orientations, and they take submissions from everybody!

MAY ANYONE WHO REBLOGS THIS BE ELEVATED TO THE EQUIVALENT OF SAINTHOOD IN THEIR RELIGION BLESS ALL OF YOU OH MY GOD.
REBLOGGING THIS AGAIN BECAUSE IT’S SO FREAKING IMPORTANT TO ME AND ALL MY FOLLOWERS TO READ THAT DEAL WITH GRIEF AND GUILT WHILE BEING LGBTQ AND RELIGIOUS
http://hoperemainsonline.com/ Is the new site for hoperemains. Every other link is still active as of 1/9/2020
I’m not religious, but I’ll reblog for my religious SAGA peeps!!! You all rock!!!
arson is actually not illegal, the law was a misprint
fun things to slip into conversation include
“i’m kinda fucking w/ the fourth wall here but-”
“I’m only saying this for foreshadowing purposes”
“this’ll make more sense when you meet your nemesis but-”
“shit that’s not in the script”
“i thought we cancelled this story arc”
“Probably gonna rewrite this later so-”
“oof that’ll hit the ratings”
“that’s not gonna make it past the censors”
“i’m still amazed this project got greenlit”
“in this political climate???”
According to the CDC, in 10 percent of those drownings, the adult will actually watch the child do it, having no idea it is happening. Drowning does not look like drowning—Dr. Pia, in an article in the Coast Guard’s On Scene magazine, described the Instinctive Drowning Response like this:
“Except in rare circumstances, drowning people are physiologically unable to call out for help. The respiratory system was designed for breathing. Speech is the secondary or overlaid function. Breathing must be fulfilled before speech occurs.
Drowning people’s mouths alternately sink below and reappear above the surface of the water. The mouths of drowning people are not above the surface of the water long enough for them to exhale, inhale, and call out for help. When the drowning people’s mouths are above the surface, they exhale and inhale quickly as their mouths start to sink below the surface of the water.
Drowning people cannot wave for help. Nature instinctively forces them to extend their arms laterally and press down on the water’s surface. Pressing down on the surface of the water permits drowning people to leverage their bodies so they can lift their mouths out of the water to breathe.
Throughout the Instinctive Drowning Response, drowning people cannot voluntarily control their arm movements. Physiologically, drowning people who are struggling on the surface of the water cannot stop drowning and perform voluntary movements such as waving for help, moving toward a rescuer, or reaching out for a piece of rescue equipment.
From beginning to end of the Instinctive Drowning Response people’s bodies remain upright in the water, with no evidence of a supporting kick. Unless rescued by a trained lifeguard, these drowning people can only struggle on the surface of the water from 20 to 60 seconds before submersion occurs.”
This doesn’t mean that a person that is yelling for help and thrashing isn’t in real trouble—they are experiencing aquatic distress. Not always present before the Instinctive Drowning Response, aquatic distress doesn’t last long—but unlike true drowning, these victims can still assist in their own rescue. They can grab lifelines, throw rings, etc.
Look for these other signs of drowning when persons are in the water:
Head low in the water, mouth at water level
Head tilted back with mouth open
Eyes glassy and empty, unable to focus
Eyes closed
Hair over forehead or eyes
Not using legs—vertical
Hyperventilating or gasping
Trying to swim in a particular direction but not making headway
Trying to roll over on the back
Appear to be climbing an invisible ladder
So if a crew member falls overboard and everything looks OK—don’t be too sure. Sometimes the most common indication that someone is drowning is that they don’t look like they’re drowning. They may just look like they are treading water and looking up at the deck. One way to be sure? Ask them, “Are you all right?” If they can answer at all—they probably are. If they return a blank stare, you may have less than 30 seconds to get to them. And parents—children playing in the water make noise. When they get quiet, you get to them and find out why.

BOOST FOR THE SUMMER. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE.
Can I just say thank you to OP for putting such a detailed description on this?
I’ve been a lifeguard for 6 years now and of all the saves I’ve done, maybe two or three had people drowning in the stereotypical thrashing style. And even those, like the save I made last weekend, it was exactly like OP describes where the person’s head is going in and out of the water but it isn’t long enough to get any air. Mostly you recognize drowning by the look on someone’s face. If someone looks wide eyed and terrified or confused, chances are they’re drowning. That look of “oh shit” is pretty easily recognizable. And even if you can’t tell for sure: GO AFTER THEM ANYWAY. I’ve done “saves” where a kid was pretending to drown and I mistook it for real drowning, but that’s preferable to a kid ACTUALLY drowning.
Also please remember that even strong swimmers can drown if they have a medical emergency, get cramps, or get too tired. If your friend knows how to swim but they’re acting funny get them to land. And even if someone can respond when you ask them if they need help, if they say they do need help? GO HELP THEM.
However . If the victim is a stranger, I can’t recommend trying to get them. Lifeguards literally train to escape “attacks,” because people who are drowning can freak the fuck out and grab you and make YOU drown as well. If you do go in after someone, take hold of them from the back and talk to them the whole time. IF YOU ARE GRABBED: duck down into the water as low as you can get. The person is panicking and won’t want to go under water and should release you. Shove up at their hands and push them away from you as you duck under. Don’t die trying to save someone else.
Please guys, read and memorize this post. Not all places have lifeguards. Being able to recognize drowning is such an important skill to have and you can save someone’s life.
Just incase!
In a water park once, I was suddenly grabbed by a child and he dragged me under the water without warning. I was going to get angry with him when I resurfaced because I thought he was being an ass, until I looked at him go back in and out hyperventilating the entire time. I grabbed him under his arms and began trying to drag him out while screaming for the lifeguard.
When the lifeguard got us both out, a woman came running down and accused me of harming him and said he had been completely fine in the water. That there was no reason to drag him out of there. The lifeguard had to explain to her that her son had been drowning, to which her response was to say that she didn’t hear him call for help.
People seriously need to learn the signs.
so superheroes get to choose their own costumes right. they get to design it based on personal preferences. and a new superhero is probably gonna repurpose whatever material is on hand
so if, for example, if a furry gained superpowers
I’M RIGHT AND I SHOULD SAY IT
Isnt that already a superhero?
nah those heroes are all shapeshifters or animal-based powers FUCK 👏 THAT 👏 NONSENSE 👏
👏 GIVE 👏 ME 👏 A 👏 HERO 👏 w/ normal run-of-the-mill super strength, super speed, whatever, who doesn’t have spider-powers this or beast boy powers that, but who chooses with no prompting from fate to go out and proudly fight crime in a repurposed fursuit
#gimme a superhero named wolf-person who does not have wolf powers but is instead armed w/ an old hyperfixation with werewolves #and a wolfsuit that still mostly fits
this is a PSA- if you're "anti-pansexual" just unfollow me/block me. I don't care about any discourse or arguments just go ahead and stop interacting with me and my blog
I installed a ‘Relationship Saving Station’ at Ikea to help keep couples from fighting.
The slip of paper says “This place is a maze. I can’t escape”
Been a while since I took pics of Marley! He got moved down from the cabinet to his own chair so he can be groomed easier. I still love his cute little face. Marluxia was mounted in 2014 by Urban Nature Taxidermy and still looks amazing 💖! (instagram)
I right this was a live fox and I was like “aww he’s cute” BUT THEN I READ TAXIDERMY AND I GOT SAD. HOW CAN YOU STUFF AN ANIMAL THAT ONCE WAS ALIVE AND CALL IT “CUTE”???!!
I’m genuinely scared of humanity now.
The fact that you thought he was alive is what makes the work so impressive. This was a hide that I purchased around 2013. His pelt at that time was about 5-7 years old (meaning he died around 2006-2008), was mounted by the taxidermist, and now in 2020 is still loved and appreciated as an art piece. Fun fact: foxes, even ranched or pet ones, don’t live that long, so at least he can be appreciated well after his passing.
And yeah, he’s pretty cute. I requested a lot of customization on the mount (heterochromia, the snaggle tooth, and the painted nose) and he came out excellent. He’s been well taken care of since I got him. Been to a few cons and fairs but otherwise stays on a shelf or chair and should hopefully last another few decades so long as I take care of him properly. People have done far worse things then create taxidermy. You should be more scared of people not wearing their masks in public spaces then a fox mount I’ve had for 6 years 🤷.
Stupid is timeless.
I’m that lady who’s just FEELING it
tbh cables were like that and safety precautions weren’t hard set in yet
Oh wow this is horrifying
Holy shit
Why don’t we see this kind of stuff more in history books?! I’d be way more interested in history if I understood that people were afraid of electricity because they were afraid of power lines slicing them to peices like cheese-wire! History books make it sound like “oh those silly people thought electricity carried demons or something!” Rather than “those poor people opposed electricity because they were terrified that eventually there would be so many power lines they wouldn’t be able to see the sun anymore.”
The OP image is titled “An Unrestrained Demon” and was the cover of Judge Magazine for October 26, 1889. It was a direct reaction to the horrifying death of Western Union lineman John Feeks earlier that month as the result of an AC line accidentally shorting on the telegraph line he was working on. His body became tangled in the lines and jerked and sizzled for the better part of an hour while lunch rush crowds looked on helplessly. The resulting “Electric Wire Panic” actually was entirely overblown, and it was shown that there were only five actual deaths by accidental electrocution in New York that year (more people were run over by trains). The lines were ugly, but reasonably safe, and certainly weren’t a demonic spider waiting to pounce on you as the image presents.
Of the followup images, only the middle picture actually shows power lines. The top and bottom picture are telephone/telegraph towers, not electrical.

I honestly can’t imagine having top surgery and not taking the opportunity to annoy everyone around me for the rest of our lives with puns about a “weight off my chest”
I didn’t have nipples grafted after my top surgery 4 years ago and ever since, ever since, any time it’s really cold I say “It’s so cold my nipples are gonna fall off. Oh shit there they go!”. Sometimes I’ll drop some of those pony beads from the 90’s so they go clattering across the floor.
First time I said it to my boss after surgery, she screamed and went chasing after them.

Gaud, I underwent an eight-hour of jaw surgery, and when I woke up, my first words were,
“Do you ever feel like you’ve bitten off more than you can chew?”
