Under The Sea

The adventures of the world's chubbiest scuba gal

[oncelerfucker69-deactivated2019]

Psych wards should really be included in Tumblr’s discussions about ableism.

The doctors there called me psycho and assumed I couldn’t think for myself. They held me down against my own will. I could only go outside if I was in a cement area surrounded by a fence. The rooms were equivalent to jail cells. I cried and told them to stop and they would say “the psychosis…”.

Psychotic people and others with demonized or “scary” mental illnesses are often not treated as humans. Please don’t leave people on the schizophrenia spectrum out of your activism.

Anyone can reblog this.

“The axe forgets, but the tree remembers.”

[alterboyx]

This is a huge thing ESPECIALLY with kids. To the parent, they lashed out when they were mad and forgot about it, expecting the kid to forget too. To the kid? It was a big moment that defined your relationship with your parents. Stuff my parents don’t remember doing or saying were things that to me spoke very, very loudly, that I was not safe to be open and honest with my parents.

The axe forgets, but the tree remembers, indeed.

"You are the reason we're getting divorced" my mum, to me. I was 15. There were so. many. more instances of the same sort of thing. My parents were pieces of shit. Good it feels so good to say that. I've never said that.

This was so shocking when I heard about it, why is no one talking about this?! I worked in emergency management and yeah we'd see suicide clusters, but this?! Something like this would have had alarm bells ringing in my team, why is there no media coverage?! Suicides my arse 😡

I think in this case, "statue removal" should mean "return the Black Hills mountain range to the Lakota and let them decide what to do about the nonsense marring the face of Six Grandfathers" rather than causing any further damage to a desecrated holy site

[maresmermaid]

This addition is important. I don't know how you would even go about restoring a sacred site so badly desecrated, but that decision should be in the hands of the Lakota people.

please, please, please do not pretend this is close to over.

What if the Aboriginal people in the Sydney area get the same idea about some Captain Cook statues??? Wouldn't that be such a shame...

We really are a police state.

[mybigfatgaylife]

It’s worse than that. That wasn’t a rubber bullet, that was another tear gas canister–you can see it a few seconds later in the footage when the camera pans over to the advancing cops.

And they shot him in the crotch with it.

If I were feeling charitable I’d say that the cop who fired the shell was aiming for center of mass and miscalculated the distance and hit the guy low.

But I’m not feeling charitable. It’s clear that was a deliberate malicious attack designed to hurt the guy as badly as possible with the weapon at hand. The goal was to cause him pain and intimidate bystanders.

this really is dystopic, isn’t it?

[gunshyghosts]

Shout out to the dude who came and helped him up

[fucktheflagandfuckyou]

THIS IS WHY YOU BLACK BLOC. WHEN EVERYONE IS MASKED AND IN ALL BLOC, IT MAKES IT VERY DIFFICULT FOR THE POLICE TO TARGET INDIVIDUALS LIKE THIS

MASK UP, COME IN BLOC, BE PREPARED, YOU. COULD SAVE SOMEONES LIFE

[toloveviceforitself]

Also get to know your street medics and maybe buy them a drink later. They’ll often be the ones picking you up and making sure you’re good after this shit happens

does anyone know what this graphic says in plain text please thanks

How To Do It: Black Block Tactics

Allow demonstrators to take action without fear of immediate identification. If you choose to wear a mask, wear it right.

Cover Up It is not enough to half cover your face. Even if you get away, the police may use photos or videos to charge you later. Cover your hair, face, arms and hands. Cloth gloves are the best. Take out piercings. Make sure there are no identifying features on your clothes, shoes or backpack. If you bring any materials with you, wipe them down first with rubbing alcohol first to get the prints off. Don’t bring anything you don’t need. Stay Tight If possible, come to a demonstration with a small group of people you trust. Choose your crew based on shared intentions, not just friendship. You’re here to have each other’s back in the streets and follow up if one of you gets arrested or hurt. Strangers needs to protect each other too. Stay physically close, do not spread out, so that if police try to enter the crowd, you can “accidentally” get in their way. The front of the march might need to slow down while the back catches up. Stay moving, though: a tight, mobile crowd is difficult to surround or disperse.

Plan Your Exit Always wear “civilian clothes” under your hoodie so you can de-bloc and blend in a crowd or smoothly walk away. Keep an eye out for danger zones and escape routes. If things heat up, stay calm and act decisively. Commit to your exit when you decide you’re done. Sometimes you have to sprint and hide; sometimes you just step onto the sidewalk and remove your mask. You can de-bloc in the middle of a friendly crowd if you’re sure you are well-screened. Keep It Quiet Bragging and storytelling are natural but they are easy to use against us. If you have to talk, choose someone trustworthy who was with you in the streets. Don’t post anything on facebook you wouldn’t show to a cop. Same goes for Twitter, Instagram, Tumblr. Remember the police will read your texts and call-log if they arrest you. Never, Ever Snitch If arrested, invoke your right to remain silent. Name, address and no more. Captioned under request.

[shortandsweet]

thank you!!!

[libraryogre]

Ok, here’s a thing to remember: the cops do not give a shit about anyone’s rights. They hate your right to remain silent. They despise your lawyer. The only thing cops give a shit about is getting *caught* violating your rights… And then, only if it has consequences.

Do not trust a cop. Do not give them anything. Ever.
