Guess what the ocean is a great way to kys, once I wake up again I’m getting a nice bagel and a chai with lots of cream cheese and I’m never coming out of the ocean again

I will probably get through this just like I have gotten through everything before but I need to be really stressed and scared first

What do you do when a friend OD’s long before you’re able to help them

#tw death #he’s dead now what #my friend is dead #he died on the street #incredible cellist #who would worship the god who made this world

“Go back to the suburb” you’d think so with how I look, wouldn’t cha

There are two major times of the month and one precedes the other and god fucking damn if I didn’t have standards

Got into a discussion about emergency response at a professional retreat recently and everyone was going on and on about agility, and I was like, "Okay but what about contingency?"

And they were like "What?"

And I was like, "Agility isn't the ultimate form of preparedness. Contingency is. Agility still requires you to flounder and figure out a solution in the moment, but if you have a contingency plan, all you have to do is implement it."

And they were like "But you can't make contingency plans for every situation!"

And I was like, "Yeah, you basically can if you just identify all of your basic dependencies and contingency plan around the loss of any dependency," and then I gave a few examples.

And they all stared at me like I'm an alien.

Anyway, that's how I figured out I'm Batman-coded and also learned how Batman must feel talking to supposedly professional superheroes who never bothered to run disaster scenarios until I pointed out that it's insane that they don't already have a plan for if Superman turns evil.

There’s a phrase that really stuck in my head around this. It was from one of the British divers who enacted the Thai caving rescue, though I couldn’t tell you which one or which interview.

As he described to the interviewer a moment of panic and how he he overcame, the interviewer said, in one of those, summarise-last-answer-given-with-appropriate-levels-of-respect-in-order-to-proceed-to-next-question phrasing’s, “Wow, so you rose to the occasion -“

And the diver said, “No, actually people always get that exactly wrong. In an unexpected and urgent situation you don’t rise to the occasion. You sink to the level of your training.”

I’m not even going to tell either of them when I move to Chicago

#I love PNW but I need at least six months away #my family is over #I have 4 friends that I get to see maybe once a month or so #I HAVE THE RIGHT TO BE ANGRY #I will be who I am again #instead of constantly trying to bring my family together #because that’s most of what I did #I give up on them

with the protests in LA today and the violent federal and local pushback from police: we (me and my editor ryan fae) are accepting leaks, insider data, and public + leak archives relevant to ICE/DHS, LAPD, LASD, and anyone else that could shift the power of knowledge to the people if it were published.

in my words:

for now it's just minor archival data and some older data, but YOU can make a change to that.

we have three bits up already. the below article will be updated constantly. contact info at the bottom of the article. we promise anonymity and general source protection.
