Hi!
I was watching a video that had people using whistles in the background and I realized that one of the things I do is teach lifeguards how to use their whistles very effectively. So I would love to share some tips on how to make your whistle as loud as possible, in case anyone wants that.
If you have ever played a wood wind instrument, you may know that you have to block the reed with your tongue; whistles are the same concept. You block the mouthpiece with your tongue to let the air pressure build. So that when you release its REALLY loud. Like, can silence 300 people at a swimming pool loud. For that reason we also tend to use short bursts instead of long blasts, but it works with long blasts too.
Also make sure you aren't wrapping your fist around the whole whistle, the air channels on the top need to be free to get a good sound.
Finally, pealess whistles (industry standard is fox40's) give the best sound, but use what you have
I'm sure you guys will be amazing lifeguards in Minnesota and beyond
Good advice for all you whistlers out there!
When I was a light infantryman some guys came to our unit from a mechanized brigade. They said they used these to signal each other over the sound of IFV and tank engines. The second time I ever blew one of these whistles I plugged my ears first because the first time had left them ringing for quite a while.
Safety orange whistle, easy to hold, Coast Guard approved. Ideal for personal protection, boating, and industrial use. Order yours now at St
The whistle code for alerting about U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) involves using three short bursts to signal that agents are nearby and one long sustained whistle to indicate an imminent arrest or active detainment. This system helps communities warn each other and respond to potential enforcement actions.
"it's weird that you kept that" well sue me for wanting to know the sources of various images and quotes? i guess?
Extremely frustrating how people can "respect" you as someone who isn't Christian but still expect you to sing praises for Jesus, including other non-Christians?? "Well you still have to admit he was a pretty cool guy—" I don't have to admit shit actually! That guy can fuck off and so can you!
The amount of ex Christian atheists who say things like "Jesus was a really cool guy and I actually follow his teachings, unlike those Christians" without realizing that that is the basis of like 17 different schisms in Christianity is mind boggling.
like the betrayal’s always going to be worse if they cared about you and it didn’t matter. someone discards you because they didn’t give a shit, then you can be angry about that, you can feel vindicated in that, you can get over it. but if they can look you in the eyes and say “I love you. I would make the same choice again.” You will never sleep peacefully again, is all.
“I thought they cared about me, but they were lying this whole time.” <- tired. boring. removes all the nuance of this relationship to make it easier to move on from.
“I thought they cared about me, and I was right, and every minute they were there for me, every time they said they were proud, every laugh we shared leaning against each other bruised and breathless, all of it was real. and they still left me behind. They could put their love aside. I couldn’t.” <- insane. will never leave you alone. reminds you that even the worst people are still people and can still care about even the ones they hurt the most and that undoes neither the harm nor the love.
okokok. if i finish my edits on my current project, then i can look at buying a book. and if i finish two projects, maybe it'll be a little more expensive of a book. and the trick is that i never remember what it is that i intended to buy, so then i don't buy it and i have a little ice cream as a treat instead. yeah?

i told my meemaw about mia zapata a few months ago; and every time i think about it, about what was done to her, about the culture that came before and came after and the way things changed and shouldn't have changed, because it was senseless and cruel and unfair in exactly the way that everyone had been pointing out-- well i haven't gotten less upset, to say the least

"you don't think bigotry is wrong you just think it's impolite and that's different" –lastoneout
We gotta do something about ecoableism, guys, I can't keep seeing people confidently assure everyone that their ideal world is one where disabled people with specific needs don't get to be alive.
The most insidious thing about eugenics is that society is so ableist the majority of people do actually think eugenics would work and disabled people are better off dead, they just tack on an assumption that while yes eugenics works it's still bad because disabled people dying for being disabled is morally wrong. But they never actually think it's scientifically or medically wrong. We're just civilized enough we've decided to politely pretend the science isn't right because social justice.
It's like how a bunch of celebs were big on body positivity and fat liberation...until Ozempic dropped and it turns out no, none of them ever believed any of that! They just pretended to bcs up until now healthy, long term weight loss was impossible so they had no choice but to cope by learning to love themselves no matter how they looked...but now that it's here we can go back to the truth! Being fat is ugly and gross and unhealthy and you should starve yourself and take experimental meds right now so you can be skinny which is what ALL humans are clearly supposed to be!! Yeah that body positivity stuff was fun, but come on. We know you actually just wanna be skinny and think being fat is a fate worse than death.
That's what it feels like to me. Every single time. Honestly in a lot of other areas too, one of the big issues with the left is that they really do seem to think that Republicans are right about how things work and should work but we just pretend otherwise because it's the right thing to do and it reduces suffering. Which seems fine, but you cannot be an effective leftist like this. You do actually have to deconstruct your beliefs and biases and world systems, you can't go around like "well yeah we aren't gonna kill disabled people that's eugenics and it's wrong" when you clearly don't actually think it's wrong. You think eugenics would work but implementing it would be uncivilized, and it shows. You have to actually understand that racism and ableism and all other forms of bigotry are not just cruel, but entirely incorrect.
Idk if this makes sense but yeah. We gotta do something about this.
This is what Into the Woods meant when it said nice is different than good.
This is also how you get people being like "I'm not an ableist! I love disabled people!" after making a joke about Trump wearing diapers or not being able to walk down a ramp. They don't think ableism is wrong, they just think it's right but impolite, so only okay aimed at those who deserve to be insulted.
Absolutely part of why shit sucks so much rn.
Ngl I'm glad I figured out how to word this, bcs trying to articulate it as "you don't actually think bigotry is wrong you just think the target should be someone else" always felt incomplete! I now know what I meant was "you don't think bigotry is wrong you just think it's impolite and that's different" that's what I needed. You just think bigotry is being mean to a marginalized person who, crucially, has done nothing to deserve it. The second they do tho? Anything is fair game.
Yeesh. What a rancid ass way to view the world.
(pls censor if anon breaks ^_^) ok dumb question bc im just finding out about chee's mattress literally today lol but could it just not be a brown mattress....? i've seen quilted mattresses that were made with brown/tan fabric before so it could just be the fabric color that's making it look nasty af
oh no. it was white at some point. i haven't personally gone trawling for it but i have in good confidence that at certain points you can see where the filth is patchy and dingy yellowish white instead of shit brown.
you can see the white
