This is why I have this. Even if they can get the lock opened they can’t push the door open. Got it at Lowes for $20.

reblog for that last bit to save a life

[smiling-grouch-deactivated20241]

If you’re like me and have a large gap under your front door (someone could take a stick and just poke the leaning stick style door jam out), I recommend the Addalock. It’s small, perfect for traveling, and this lock is CRAZY. It’s so simple but the door does not move.

You can’t see it from the other side, either. It also cost about $20, and I can’t recommend it enough. Easy to travel with, too! Great for Air BnBs!

[deminat-20]

That’s why I have these on my doors. They get drilled into the side and once its flipped over the door nothing is getting it open. Not the door being unlocked nothing, I’ve unlocked the door and pulled and pushed as hard as I could and it didn’t budge. When I go on a trip this is what I use and when I’m home I leave it on too. No one is getting in here.

[letsgetoutofspace]

Okay I know that it is necessary for many but what do you do if you need medical attention and you’re not able to open the door from the inside? Can the fire department get through these at least?  

[morgrimmoon]

Yes. The fire department can and will break down your door if necessary, it’s one of the reasons they have axes; it’s entirely possible for door frames to melt/expand/seize or otherwise become unopenable during a house fire but the door itself can be hacked down. Or the window. In rare cases, the wall. Firefighters don’t fuck around with collateral damage when lives are at stake.

Statue based on Leonardo daVinci’s famous concept for artificial wings.

This is so fucking beautiful!

[oddarticulations]

Calf with 6 legs. Stillborn, thrown away, went through a trash compactor, and I dug through a landfill to find it. 2 extra front legs on the right side, deformed spine, fused ribs, split knee joint, and other deformities.

[natural-selections]

You know how much I love interesting pathologies… so naturally I had to share these photos with you guys!

This is a conjoined bat that was either stillborn or died at birth (as evidenced by the attached placenta)! They were discovered in southeastern Brazil in 2001 and researchers believe the twins are Neotropical fruit bats (Artibeus).

These photos were taken by Nadja L. Pinheiro, from Área de Embriologia, Universidade Federal Rural do Rio de Janeiro.

Achaemenid gold medallion

[swingsetindecember]

ok, i’m built like a noble ox. like i am 6′1 and i am sturdy lady. like thighs for days. if you try to move me. you will be moved. body images aside (lol, i am self conscious about my size, yeah it’s life) 

so like, i am very used to girls standing next to me in public places. i end up acquiring a pack of ladies. just because women are like, that lady is a lady men stay away from. i am jerk kryptonite (usually, i get my fair share of creeps, such is life) but most men have self preservation that this 6′1 ox will break them. and i will

so usually i am in my own phone and look up to another lady standing next to me. and i will immediately look up and make eye contact and nod. like, you know, that nod. i see you and you can talk if there is something wrong. i end up on a reg basis being a defacto bodyguard to these young ladies and small women while waiting for buses and in the metro. 

i am a large oak tree. i protect the other birds. 

ladies, we all got roles. find tree in the wild. we’re always happy to provide shelter from the creeps.

i’ve regularly said, “move on, she doesn’t want to be your friend”

[grimm-fairy]

I’m in love

Story time: So I’m 6’2 and “big boned” as my mother would call it. This happens to me all the time and a couple years ago I managed to get the the front row of a Macklemore concert. This woman, probably 5’4, squeezes up next to me and says, “Hey, I’m here alone, do you mind if I stand in front of you?” Of course not. So we’re all having a good time, dancing around, when all of a sudden this Bro™️ is behind me telling me that I’m too tall to be in the front row and it’s not fair. Now, keep in mind that this concert was outside, in February, in Vail CO. It was FREEZING so not only am I of the stature I am but I had my hair up and a beanie on and a big coat and boots. We try our best to ignore him but Bro™️ is drunk and very clearly thinks I’m a man and proceeds to punch me in the back of the head.

LIL SIS WENT OFF, FOLKS. This tiny woman literally moved me out of the way, jumped up, and head butted Bro™️ in the face with such a fury. I thought she was going to kill him, it was truly a beautiful moment in my life.

The moral of the story is that for every tree in the wild there is a cute little birdy who will defend its shelter to the death. Stick together ladies👯‍♀️

A lot of them probably wouldn't last at your job

Last year I had an internship at a fancy office during the day, and a food service job at night. One of the ladies at the office told me she needed a part-time job for some extra cash, and I let her know about an opening in my food service job, described what would be expected, all of that. 

Guys. She quit after one (1) shift, called me the next day, and ranted, “You never told me it was going to be that hard, is that what you do every night?! I’m not 20 anymore, I’m 50, I can’t believe they only pay you $9.50/hr to do all that work!” [For the record, I had coworkers who were 65+]

She was shocked when I explained that yeah, most food service jobs require you to stock heavy boxes, work the register, and learn to cook/prep food, then clean up before you go home. It never occurred to her that people who “just flip burgers” actually have demanding jobs. 

“I’m going to have to be extra nice to those people from now on!” Like yeah, no shit?

I’ve told this story before I’m sure, but when I got my first office job and escaped retail hell, I tended to stay at my desk on my breaks. My manager, well-meaning, passed by and reminded me to make sure I took my breaks and got up and got away from my desk regularly.

I kinda laughed and said “Tanya, I worked retail before this. This entire job is a break, to me. I get to sit down all day. Just let me enjoy that.”

And I still think about it sometimes when I’m in the breakroom in the morning. How I have the unspeakable luxury to take my coffee cup, go to the kitchen, wash the cup out, pour myself a new cup of coffee, chat with coworkers if anyone’s in the breakroom while I’m doing that, and then head back to my desk before I really *start* my day. Without worrying that I’m going to get in trouble or be seen as slacking off. As opposed to the rushed “toss your purse in a locker, clock in, and get out on the floor and start cleaning things/helping customers/fixing signage/etc.” start-of-shift routine from my retail days.

[geekandmisandry]

Working in a grocery store fucked me up. If I’m late I panic. I can literally cry. If my boyfriend is late to work I can’t understand how he is so calm?? “It’s only fifteen minutes”???

Because I had to clock in ON TIME and clock out ON TIME (even if I stayed back unpaid to finish my designated work because deadlines were impossible) it had to be on time. Any minor infraction would have someone giving you a formal sit down. I got a formal warning because I filed a bucket up at a big industrial sink instead of from the slow running tap that needed me to be bent over for 4 whole minutes while it filled.

Every infraction could come would a reminder that you are replaceable, you are a number, you don’t matter. I was sixteen years old when I worked my first hour for free. I was seventeen when I hurt myself on the job and they took me to a doctor who said I couldn’t lift more than 2 kilos (4.5 pounds) and they put me on a closing shift anyway, with no help. Lifting huge boxes of chicken, huge plates of meat, with no one to help me.

I was in trouble the next day because my close up hadn’t left it clean enough.

I got an official reprimand and retraining and lost half my shifts because I refused to stop what I was doing (putting fish into a case) and mop the floor. Because I said that I couldn’t just leave the fish out, that was unhygienic, and that I would sweep the floor where I was working if they felt it was necessary, but that mopping would create a slip hazard for me as I have to move around the area quickly, often with hot things in my hands.

Simply not wanting to slip, hurt myself or give someone food poisoning was deemed to be problem behaviour, because I questioned authority.

These jobs are hard. Physically, mentally hard.

twitter kinda pissed me off

Its a joke when a girl is crazy cuz when a guy is crazy, SHIT GETS SERIOUS REAL QUICK. Guys be killing girls over prom rejection and stealing dogs and shit. Yeah I’d rather have burnt clothes and unrealistic shallow threats.

[jo-heart]

When are y’all gonna stop trying to discredit valid statements about toxic women that need to seek help by saying “MEN ARE WORSE”. What does that help? Tell me. What did you intent to do with this?

[teatoppy]

^^^^

[clarknokent]

She said unrealistic shallow threats like there aren’t women actually cutting off dicks and killing their partners…
