brad dourif being typecast as a villain is the funniest thing to me because to me he looks like a baikal seal

biggest saddest wettest eyes i have ever seen. like don’t get me wrong he does it very well he’s very sinister but the nature of his face is that it always always looks like if you stare at him too hard he’ll burst into tears

now since tumblr apparently loves to support non-american authors, but is surprisingly mum about this, imma tell you.

you see, everybody's favorite evil corp, Amazon, bought Indian publishing house Westland some six years ago. Now Westland is a very famous and reputed publishing house in India, and has put forth some of the best titles the country has seen. It didn't shy away from controversial and uncomfortable topics, and some of its books quite vocally criticise the current government, which has been responsible for the current state of india as a pseudo-democratic, pseudo-secular, economically ruined country, the most notable one being The Price of the Modi years by Aakar Patel. It also produced Amish Tripathi's pathbreaking Shiva Trilogy.

Now here's the thing that got me nuts.

AMAZON. SHUT. IT. DOWN. A WEEK AGO.

JUST OUT OF THE BLUE, IT IS CLOSING DOWN WESTLAND FOREVER. NOBODY KNOWS WHAT IS TO COME OF THE HUNDREDS OF TITLES PUBLISHED BY IT, OR OF THE AUTHORS ITS CONTRACTED, OR THE PEOPLE EMPLOYED BY IT.

It has triggered a buying surge in India, as people go on shopping spress to get their hands on the titles they want from this house. Short on supply and high on demand, bookstores across India are showing solidarity and moving surplus books around.

here you go with a few links that i think sum up the problem quite nicely, and please guys. just. please support westland.

here they talk about how this is becoming a trend with global corps.

here they talk about the future of indian publishing houses.

this one talks about a bleak future for literature and how it feels like we're living in a dystopian novel

spread this around. jeff bezos continues to be evil, and will be. he is quite literally, irredeemable.

Hello Kevin Mccalister, in front of you is- wait what the fuck? Did you just use MY trap to make YOUR OWN traps? That fast? Ok uh- I didn't see that coming, you can go I guess just don't call the cops on me. Or use the new traps.

I hate people who call me. I don’t have a phone so you can reach me, I have a phone so I can read fanfic on the bus.

4. If the car pulls up to you run in the opposite direction.

5. Walk with your keys in your hands and keep a key between each finger

6. If they put you in the trunk kick out the headlights

7. If you get lost find a woman with a child. Never ask a man for help (this one was drilled)

bando--grand-scamyon

That scream fire piece of advice is literally life saving

8. Watch your shadows and reflections, especially if someone is walking behind you. A split second notice is better than none and will help you.

Add text replacement words in your phone if possible. Something short and memorable that you can send quickly to people in moments of emergencies.

E.g.

whatchagonnadoabooouuutttit

I f ing hate that we need to reblog this, people suck, but this will save lives.

DO NOT SCROLL PAST

anonymousmothman

Being female fucking sucks but yes this shit is important for everyone

Also, do not walk close to walls. It will be easier for someone so walk past you and push you against it or corner you.

If your gut is telling you to cross the street or change your path, do it. Don’t risk it. Your body knows.

If you can, buy a large umbrella and walk holding it. Studies say that predators are less likely to attempt an attack on someone that could fight back. Keys around your knuckles is fine but you’ll need to get very close to do damage. Umbrellas are more precise.

Avoid wearing headphones if you are alone on an empty street. Look aware.

Again: Stay. Away. From. Walls.

Entering an uber alone? Call your father (or anyone you trust) and say “hey dad! Yep, I’m almost there, I’m sending you the route.” outloud. Then proceed to send them the route so they can follow the uber drive. This will most likely intimidate the predator.

If you see someone in an uncomfortable or possibly dangerous situation, walk up to them and say “Betty, oh my god, I haven’t seen you in so long!”. If she gets slightly confused, you can whisper and let her know you’re trying to help and that she should follow along. Walk together to another station or away from where you are. The man will most likely not follow. I have done this one 2 times and can be very helpful.

If you are unsure she needs help, you can pass her a note saying something like “hey, I noticed this man beside you is making you uncomfortable. If you’d like help, fake a sneeze right now and I will come up to you and pretend we are friends.” This is a long note, but its an example. Be discrete. If she follows along, proceed with the previous tip. This is helpful when you’re in a crowded train and you notice harassment.

Help your sisters. Trust them. Trust yourself. Be safe.

If you ever feel unsafe or need help, anyone is welcome to run upto me and ask me for help! I’ll go all mama bear and keep you safe!!!

I made this google doc covering 14 different self defense tips and tricks. it was made on January 15th, 2020 so it was before I decided I’d come back to tumblr jhjshdbjfh.

EVERY TIME I SEE THIS I REBLOG BECAUSE THIS IS SUPER IMPORTANT!!!!!

lukewarmsodaa

this is so fcking important

quillsink

AFAB nonbinary here, y’all please reblog, I’ve had this drilled into me as a kid and this will definitely help someone

daydreaming-cheese-weasel

also:

i was always told that the elbow is the sharpest point in your body, so use your elbows!!

to quote dwight schrute: “the eyes are the groin of the head”

im pretty sure that the nose is really sensitive so try to hit that. in a self defense class, they said to hold your hand like you’re carrying a plate (flat, palm up) and push upwards, bringing the bottom of your palm at the nose.

it doesn’t matter their gender, getting hit in the groin will always hurt like fuck.

simpingforwillsolace-deactivate

if someone holds you from behind, shove yoir elbow in their gut and then punch them i the nose when they relase you

NEVER tuck in your thumb if you’re making a fist. that way if you punch someone you’ll break your thumb. make a fist like this and punch with the part marked red.

you can knock someone out by punching them into the chin. the nose is also very sensitive and can be easily broken.

as someone said above, STAY AWAY FROM WALLS!

the knee and the elbow are the strongest parts of the body. and they are nicely angled for kicking somebody.

STAY SAFE EVERYONE, AND SHARE THIS!

And if you’re going to a new place like say university… ALWAYS WALK WITH A MALE FRIEND AT NIGHT ALWAYS WALK WITH A MALE FRIEND AT NIGHT!!! This has literally saved some of my friends lives as they’ve gone to university and I expect to be the same in a few months!

MALE FRIEND BOYFRIEND ALWAYS WALK WITH A MALE YOU TRUST!!!
