I might be wrong, but this looks like @funeralformyfat to me. So I am posting it just in case they are using your image for publicity without your consent.

I know it probably is stupid but I am pumped about my results and wanted to share them.

In light of recent outbreaks of measles and other vaccine preventable illnesses, and the refusal of anti-vaccination advocates to acknowledge the problem, I thought it was past time for this post.

Dear parents,

You are being lied to. The people who claim to be acting in the best interests of your children are putting their health and even lives at risk.

Fear decreases our chances of getting hurt while at the same time decreasing our chances of advancing. Fear is a protective hindrance, so you must learn when to rebel against it—fear is as deceptive as it is wise.

Saying goodbye to another year

Last Wednesday was the last day of pratice until September.

I have learnt a lot this year. But I know I have a longer path in front of me. I just have to keep moving forward step by step, year by year.

I will miss everyone. I have become really close to them over this year. I haven't talked much with some of them, but training together for 3 hours a week (with some even 5) has make me consider them part of my big family.

Next year at this date everything will be different. I won't be having finals but preparing for graduation and the upcoming MIR exam. And that is kind of scary.

Instead of getting one of those shitty little plastic self defense cat keychains, get one of these. It’s made of metal and can do a lot more damage, will not break or bend or snap like the plastic ones will, and lasts longer. its a hefty weight in your hands and makes you feel a lot safer. be safe, ladies.

where you can get them

[chillona-deactivated20200528]

Will fucking do.

I need to say though that I showed a police acquaintance of mine my plastic one and he said it’s considered a concealed weapon and were you to use it, could also get you in trouble with the law, EVEN if it were in pure self defense.

They said because that’s you anticipating assault and the use of a weapon, or something along those lines. They also said that if you honestly had to use it for protection and get caught and questioned about the keychain, to say someone gave it to you and you just thought it was just a keychain, that you used what you had readily available to you for your defense. When I see them again I’ll get more info.

Stay safe ladies.

The term I should’ve used was “anticipating using deadly force” or “force with a deadly weapon”

But, reblogging again because we need to be in the know.

[whitepeoplesaidwhat]

Not blog related but since we have a massive following and I’m sure almost everyone’s seen the posts that go around for this keychain, I need to make this known so women can stay protected on all levels.

[rad-fixer--archive-blog]

wait if its illegal to use deadly force in self defence with something you are carrying that you know can be used as such, why are concealed firearms ok

[appropriately-inappropriate]

Because guns have more rights than women these days.

[gettingfitandstayingthere]

One way to protect yourself without getting in trouble (specially if you don't know the laws of the country or state you are living in or staying at) se your keys. There is no need to buy a key ring that might get you in trouble. Hold your keychain in the center of your plam and form a fist with the keys protruding between your fingers like this:

And remember to keep your thumb out of the fist to avoid damaging it when trowing a punch.

Aim for the face (tip: the eyes are a really good spot), it will not only affect your enemy phisically but also mentally (some studies have shown this).

And I want to leave you two more self-defense tips:

1. The throat is a really really nice spot to hit. Grabbing the throat and squeazing is pretty effective.

2. Don't be cocky. Analise the situation. If the attacker believes you are weak he will not go full force on you. And never show your weapons.

Stay safe.

When I was a freshman, my sister was in eighth grade. There was a boy in two of her periods who would ask her out every single day. (Third and seventh period, if I remember correctly.) All day during third and seventh she would repeatedly tell him no. She didn’t beat around the bush, she didn’t lie and say she was taken—she just said no.

One day, in third period, after being rejected several times, he said; “I have a gun in my locker. If you don’t say yes, I am going to shoot you in seventh.”

wear your war paint

whether it’s makeup, a band tshirt, your fandom pins, tattoos, jewelry, your favorite ripped pair of jeans, or something no one else can touch or see like your favorite song repeating like a mantra in your head, the sound of your own heartbeat, or the knowledge that you were brave enough to get out of bed today when everything else inside you said “no”

wear your war paint and kick ass

Love your body the way your mother loved your baby feet And brother arm wrapping shoulders, and remember This is important… You are worth more than who you fuck You are worth more than a waistline You are worth more than beer bottles displayed like drunken artifacts. You are worth more than any naked body could proclaim in the shadows, More than a man’s whim or your father’s mistake You are no less valuable as a size 16 than a size 4 You are no less valuable as a 32a than a 36c Your sexiness is defined by concentric circles within your wood It is wisdom You are a goddamn tree stump with leaves sprouting out Reborn

my soul hurts

imagine being twenty-one and walking into your best friend’s house and finding him dead on the floor and he was twenty-one and just had a baby and knowing in your heart that there’s more carnage and you’re twenty-one finding his wife dead and blankly staring at twenty-one and then here’s this baby this precious thing still in his crib crying amongst the wreckage and you pick him up and cradle him in your arms and realize that he’s the most important thing and you’re twenty-one and twelve years later after having your happiness torn from you 4380 days in a row 105120 hours in a row 6307200 minutes in a row but what happiness do you have honestly because all you can think of is twenty-one and james and lily and it’s my fault it’s my fault it’s all my fault

idk I just really like it when you turn towards a jump and there’s that moment when your horse realises it’s headed for that jump and locks onto it and you just feel it and their ears prick forward and you can just feel their determination beneath you and ah I love it
