y'all will circlejerk yourself to the mysticisms of faeries and elves in european countries for centuries and take it as fact but the second native americans ask you to respect our spirituality and culture suddenly you're all aetheists
non natives can, should, and will reblog this.
same goes for african rooted religions.
goes without saying, but also Asian and Pacific Islands' indigenous spiritualities and religions.
According to the CDC, in 10 percent of those drownings, the adult will actually watch the child do it, having no idea it is happening. Drowning does not look like drowningāDr. Pia, in an article in the Coast Guardās On Scene magazine, described the Instinctive Drowning Response like this:
āExcept in rare circumstances, drowning people are physiologically unable to call out for help. The respiratory system was designed for breathing. Speech is the secondary or overlaid function. Breathing must be fulfilled before speech occurs.
Drowning peopleās mouths alternately sink below and reappear above the surface of the water. The mouths of drowning people are not above the surface of the water long enough for them to exhale, inhale, and call out for help. When the drowning peopleās mouths are above the surface, they exhale and inhale quickly as their mouths start to sink below the surface of the water.
Drowning people cannot wave for help. Nature instinctively forces them to extend their arms laterally and press down on the waterās surface. Pressing down on the surface of the water permits drowning people to leverage their bodies so they can lift their mouths out of the water to breathe.
Throughout the Instinctive Drowning Response, drowning people cannot voluntarily control their arm movements. Physiologically, drowning people who are struggling on the surface of the water cannot stop drowning and perform voluntary movements such as waving for help, moving toward a rescuer, or reaching out for a piece of rescue equipment.
From beginning to end of the Instinctive Drowning Response peopleās bodies remain upright in the water, with no evidence of a supporting kick. Unless rescued by a trained lifeguard, these drowning people can only struggle on the surface of the water from 20 to 60 seconds before submersion occurs.ā
This doesnāt mean that a person that is yelling for help and thrashing isnāt in real troubleāthey are experiencing aquatic distress. Not always present before the Instinctive Drowning Response, aquatic distress doesnāt last longābut unlike true drowning, these victims can still assist in their own rescue. They can grab lifelines, throw rings, etc.
Look for these other signs of drowning when persons are in the water:
Head low in the water, mouth at water level
Head tilted back with mouth open
Eyes glassy and empty, unable to focus
Eyes closed
Hair over forehead or eyes
Not using legsāvertical
Hyperventilating or gasping
Trying to swim in a particular direction but not making headway
Trying to roll over on the back
Appear to be climbing an invisible ladder
So if a crew member falls overboard and everything looks OKādonāt be too sure. Sometimes the most common indication that someone is drowning is that they donāt look like theyāre drowning. They may just look like they are treading water and looking up at the deck. One way to be sure? Ask them, āAre you all right?ā If they can answer at allāthey probably are. If they return a blank stare, you may have less than 30 seconds to get to them. And parentsāchildren playing in the water make noise. When they get quiet, you get to them and find out why.

Can I just say thank you to OP for putting such a detailed description on this?
Iāve been a lifeguard for 6 years now and of all the saves Iāve done, maybe two or three had people drowning in the stereotypical thrashing style. And even those, like the save I made last weekend, it was exactly like OP describes where the personās head is going in and out of the water but it isnāt long enough to get any air. Mostly you recognize drowning by the look on someoneās face. If someone looks wide eyed and terrified or confused, chances are theyāre drowning. That look of āoh shitā is pretty easily recognizable. And even if you canāt tell for sure: GO AFTER THEM ANYWAY. Iāve done āsavesā where a kid was pretending to drown and I mistook it for real drowning, but thatās preferable to a kid ACTUALLY drowning.
Also please remember that even strong swimmers can drown if they have a medical emergency, get cramps, or get too tired. If your friend knows how to swim but theyāre acting funny get them to land. And even if someone can respond when you ask them if they need help, if they say they do need help? GO HELP THEM.
However . If the victim is a stranger, I canāt recommend trying to get them. Lifeguards literally train to escape āattacks,ā because people who are drowning can freak the fuck out and grab you and make YOU drown as well. If you do go in after someone, take hold of them from the back and talk to them the whole time. IF YOU ARE GRABBED: duck down into the water as low as you can get. The person is panicking and wonāt want to go under water and should release you. Shove up at their hands and push them away from you as you duck under. Donāt die trying to save someone else.
Please guys, read and memorize this post. Not all places have lifeguards. Being able to recognize drowning is such an important skill to have and you can save someoneās life.
Just incase!
In a water park once, I was suddenly grabbed by a child and he dragged me under the water without warning. I was going to get angry with him when I resurfaced because I thought he was being an ass, until I looked at him go back in and out hyperventilating the entire time. I grabbed him under his arms and began trying to drag him out while screaming for the lifeguard.
When the lifeguard got us both out, a woman came running down and accused me of harming him and said he had been completely fine in the water. That there was no reason to drag him out of there. The lifeguard had to explain to her that her son had been drowning, to which her response was to say that she didnāt hear him call for help.
People seriously need to learn the signs.
I've never understood how some people have strict physical requirements for who they'll date. Like height, eye color, hair color, all that. I've loved a man who was 6'4 and a man who was 5'2, I've had my breath catch upon looking into blue, green, and brown eyes. I've thought guys who wore an XXL were just as handsome as guys who wore a small. I worry about people who only date in a specific category, because they'll likely miss someone who could change their life, even if it's just for a moment. Not me though, i just accidentally void people's deposits on their apartments.
I literally just wanna be a forest creature and be gay with another forest creature but distance is stupid! Find your perfect forest partner and they're far away? That is some universal bullshit right there!
I have no excuse other than listening to Comin In Hot on repeat for ages.
Listening to someone and thinking "this is my wavelength. My favorite song." when all everyone else hears is noise is a kind of love that is so fucking rare. Just being able to hear another person's words and feel your heart echo every word with warmth? That's unique.
Hey since your dogs can't be praised by strangers like me when on walks, let this stand in that interaction's place.
True punk energy is found in rebelling agaisnt certain social norms and morally ambiguous standards to make things better for everyone as well as going "that person is shitty to their fellow humans. Lets light their shoes on fire" You can look like death metal personified, but without actual compassion, you aren't really part of the whole "alternative movement". There is no one way to dress, express yourself, or live your life, but there is one universal fact. Without kindness, both sides of an interaction end up miserable whether you're the prick or the one being mistreated. Be aware of the impact you have on lives, and if you have a heart and use it often, you're honestly doing well and punk rock as all hell.
I've said this before and I'm gonna say it again but you're not goth/punk/alternative If you're not a kind person. Miss me with the "I want everyone to suffer and die" bullshit. If you don't bring kindness into this world you're just a clown with edgy clothes. Prove me wrong.
Iāve seen a lot of posts on my dash tonight about users who are threatening suicide, with other Tumblr members posting in effort to try to get ahold of them. I think you all should see this:
IF THERE IS EVER A TUMBLR USER WHO HAS POSTED A GOOD-BYE MESSAGE, SUICIDE NOTE, VIDEO, OR ANYTHING OF THE SORT, PLEASE FOLLOW THIS POST.
1. Scroll to the top of your dashboard.
2. See the circular question mark icon at the top? Itās the third one over from your home symbol. Click on that, and a screen similar to the one in the picture will come up.
3. Where you can type in questions, the box with the magnifying glass at the top, type in the word āsuicide.ā
4. Click on the first link that shows up. It should say, āPass the URL of the blog on to us.ā
5. Type in the userās URL and tell Tumblr admin that the user is contemplating suicide and has posted a message indicating that they are going through with it or will be attempting. Hit send! Tumblr administration will perform a number of actions to contact the user and take the necessary steps to prevent the suicide.
TUMBLR: THIS COULD SAVE A USERāS LIFE. PLEASE DO NOT IGNORE SUICIDE THREATS.
Reblog this to keep other users aware. Suicide isnāt a joke, and neither is someoneās life. If you didnāt know this, someone else may not, either. Pass it on.

Honestly can't wait till the lockdown lifts and I can go camp in the woods with a partner or close friend, hike during the day, and set up a portable projector to watch movies after the sun sets.
Wow 84 notes and counting on the punk gay post. Only thing I have left to say is just
ā6 wingsā ā2 headsā ā6 legsā linocuts from my exhibitionĀ ā7 maa ja mere tagaā 2019
There's something therapeutic about seeing two dudes in leather jackets with ripped jeans and mohawks hold hands and kiss exiting a mosh pit. That's the life I'm trying to live with somebody when I have my shit figured out.
Heyyyyy kiss your local feral goblin punk boys, we love that shit and will give you small bones and rocks in return... Maybe some flowers for our beloved cottage core boys.
šThe patches on my jacket will be expanded on over time and I've got a load of pins and prints i want to add on to this, so it's nowhere near done, but for now here's the state of my ACDC jacketš
And a worm I made my mom because I love her and if you aren't giving worms to those you love, what are you even doing?
