Bear, robbing a bank: "This is a robbery!" The teller: *sticks up their hands* Bear, visibly shaken: "H-how'd you get so big!?"

How to protect yourself during stampede

[bohemian-pixel-pusher]

this isn’t the usual thing I’d share on my stupid nerd blog, but this is SO important. I was nearly crushed in a crowd like this once. It was terrifying because you have NO control over the panicking mass of humans around you. you are just at the mercy of all this chaotic force. this is a real thing that can happen very suddenly! it did happen in the news recently! My situation was, the olympics was happening in my city, I was on my way home from school, and a crowd of people suddenly flooded into the street around me. in seconds it went from, busy-city-street-crowded, to, wtf I can’t even move crowded. I was so pressed against the backpack of the man in front of me, my feet lifted off the ground a moment. People were climbing lamp posts, signs, bus shelters, trees, everything to get up out of it. it was like the street became an ocean of people, and all the people’s survival instincts were making them dumber. everyone was yelling. no one knew how to solve it. police, fire fighters and medics saved us by breaking the locks on the inside of the mall we were trapped next to. a huge group flooded into the building, releasing a bit of the pressure on the people outside. I was in that group that got in.

We were trapped in the mall awhile. Because the olympics was on, they had big screens in a few sitting areas of the mall that would normally be showing the games. but now the coverage was focused on this crowd surge. They showed a helicopter shot of the building we were now in, totally surrounded by colorful dots. a solid mass of humans with no space between.  I know someone was partially trampled and needed medics, because I saw that, but i don’t know the statistics on who else was hurt, hopefully no one killed! I don’t know if these methods can definitely save you, but they might give you a better chance. so watch and share!

Sharing to my own stupid nerd blog for the same reason, this is SO IMPORTANT. Human crushes are one of the most unexpected ways to die. People go out to a show or a sports game, and make it there, but they never come back. Other strategies include staying away from large obstacles (like fences) that you could get crushed against, and doing your best to stay above the crowd. Try to climb onto something if you can.

And also — not to get nitpicky with deadly tragedies, but they’re called “human crushes,” not “stampedes.” It’s an important difference in description and also in respect. The deaths usually happen because the victims are pinned together in a tight space, they can’t breathe (as in the video) and they suffocate. “Stampede” doesn’t convey what actually happened to those people. The crush that happened in Seoul recently wasn’t because people “stampeded,” it was because they couldn’t move at all and they suffocated. But calling it a “stampede,” you’d think it was the people themselves that ran over each other, like wild animals. It’s disrespectful and untrue.

Horrifyingly, the victims of many human crushes have been blamed for their own deaths, which are usually purely accidental or due to criminal mismanagement from authorities. If you’re in a mental place to read about tragedies and police corruption, check out the Hillsborough Disaster, in which 97 people died due to the incompetence of the police, who then blamed everything on the victims: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hillsborough_disaster

Last movie: oh my god i dont even know. i watch like no movies. i think it was turning red???

Currently reading: i'm so shit at reading but I've had No Gods No Monsters by Cadwell Turnbull on my bed staring at me for the past month or so which I intend to read soon

Current obsession: im a smidge too depression lately for a real obsession, but i watched @compactpersian play ai: the nirvana initiative and any meme bullshit about these bullshit idiots makes me happy. i've also been organizing my pokemon card collection but im on a break from obsessing over that, i just painted a wholeass binder for them they can chill for a sec. oh! my cat bagel. and i should probably throw in dragon age in perpetuity for good measure i guess

i will tag @compactpersian, @thedappercat, @painsborough, @romaineroy, @fancies, @bite-inhibition, @knightwithakay and @queenmaika

that isn't nine people. do it if you want or don't if you dont!! bye

[megancollie]

last song - ok this ISNT ACCURATE bc if i turn on my bluetooth earbud to listen to a podcast, half the time it automatically starts itunes so this is what last came up on shuffle even if i didn’t technically hear it play - fob sugar we’re goin down

last movie - does the last ep of stranger things count…… uhh we watched the shitty new dr strange like 2 weeks ago. i have no concept of time. definitely saw the new jurassic world recently, NOT!! ENOUGH! focus on the DINOSAURS!!!!

currently watching - there can be huge gaps between when i actually sit down & watch, and this is a VERY UNRESPECTABLE LIST but: mafs australia (current season), mafs (current season), 90 day fiancé (current), the family chantel (current), catfish (current), supernatural (last season it was my mothers fav show before it sucked ok), miracle workers (gotta start the oregon trail season!), breeders (current), only murders in the building (gotta start new season), in the dark (gotta start new season). probably giving up on these recently started shows: under the banner of heaven, moon knight. need to catch up on!: servant, bobs burgers, made for love, derry girls , resident alien

currently reading: “intuitive eating” 😬 and dave eggers’ “what is the what” pseudo-autobiography of sudanese refugee valentino deng

current obsession: too lazy… or too busy… but u mentioned bagel the cat and tbh i keep buying a Lot of bagels lately. cinnamon raisin w plain cream cheese or bust. this isn’t an obsession but i have consistently continued to play pokémon go on a daily basis and that’s obsessive ish

one of the most enlightening realizations ive had was finding out that non-24 hour circadian rhythm people were a pretty large group and most of us have oddly similar cycles of usually around 28hr internal "days" and this masquerades as "insomnia" but if allowed to sleep and wake naturally we will just advance forward through time an extra 2-4 hours a day at a relatively stable pace. we can't go to school or jobs or even run errands on normal schedules without massive pharmacological and behavioral intervention. most of the people who have been diagnosed or figured it out themselves will report horrific, life-ruining disruption in their professional lives and terrible health from accrued lack of sleep. this disorder is most common in vision-impaired people which seems to suggest it's related to light cues. anyway just thinking about this as extremely loud yard work woke me up at 8am for the second day in a row
