Little Guy Picrew Chain??!! Https://picrew.me/en/image_maker/2069970

Some of my friends had suicide scares in the past, and one of my friends had one quite recently. Keep the flame spread the tag.

Keep the flame going for those we have lost to suicide.

My dad taught my sister and I when we were young (like 5 or 6) that if a man is attacking you, knee them in the balls. I also make sure to keep my location on my phone, and everyone in my family's group chat can see it. I hate that I have to know all these things to survive as a woman, but it's important.

I wanted to add some more tips that may have not been mentioned here:

If someone tries to grab your bag, instead of pulling and trying to get it back, use their force against them and ram your shoulder into them. Because they're trying to pull something back, they should fall.

If you don't have anything that can be used as a weapon, spitting and biting always helps. (Biting, especially on the hand, can hurt a lot if you put enough force)

If you have a chain bracelet, or chains on your belt or anything, you can wrap it around your fist. Rings, especially ones with embellishments or raised details, can help bruise or scratch your attacker.

If you have a carabiner on your belt loop, water bottle, bag, anything, you can take it and slide as many fingers as you can through, and when punching it can help you, especially if you have other things like key rings or chains on the carabiner.

If they push you down into dirt or by a raised planter box with dirt, you can try to take fistfuls of it and shove it in your attacker's face.

If you think someone is following you at night, take out your phone flashlight or anything else and turn around quickly, and if there is someone it can catch them off guard or make it hard for them to see.

All in all, you'd be surprised about what's NOT a weapon.

Don't ever hesitate. Reblog this. TUMBLR RULE. When you see it, REBLOG IT.

Gravity s Grin : Albert Einstein’s general theory of relativity, published over 100 years ago, predicted the phenomenon of gravitational lensing. And that’s what gives these distant galaxies such a whimsical appearance, seen through the looking glass of X-ray and optical image data from the Chandra and Hubble space telescopes. Nicknamed the Cheshire Cat galaxy group, the group’s two large elliptical galaxies are suggestively framed by arcs. The arcs are optical images of distant background galaxies lensed by the foreground group’s total distribution of gravitational mass. Of course, that gravitational mass is dominated by dark matter. The two large elliptical “eye” galaxies represent the brightest members of their own galaxy groups which are merging. Their relative collisional speed of nearly 1,350 kilometers/second heats gas to millions of degrees producing the X-ray glow shown in purple hues. Curiouser about galaxy group mergers? The Cheshire Cat group grins in the constellation Ursa Major, some 4.6 billion light-years away. via NASA

Production Update

Bought a tape measure and a carabiner on the weekend so I didn't have to borrow the director's. This one is even better, and lighter. Why did I not think of this sooner.

At rehearsal, the Stage Manager, the Sound Designer, a few actors that volunteered and I all painted set pieces for about 2 hours. We had to do it outside because the director claimed, "It's a beautiful day!"

I mean it didn't rain but still! Anyways, I got paint on my pants so now I have a trophy to show anyone who asks. Will also have to paint next week, just doing the sides of some flats and a few touchups. The director only told me once I started panicking that 2 of the vertical flats I thought we were painting we actually aren't using. Good going, director!

Anyways, rehearsals are actually going better than expected, so hopefully the actors should get off-book soon.

@moonthemagical look it's bees

Okay, entomology brain is annoyed by a Tumblr ad

Specifically, this one. First, Albert Einstein never said that.

Secondly, and more importantly, that is NOT a honey bee, or even a bee at all. That is a bee fly, a very important, very cute pollinator. However! They have parasitoid larvae! This means that they lay their eggs in the larvae of other bugs. Those eggs hatch, and those larvae eat the bug they’re in from the inside out. Sounds horrible, but it’s the way of things and I cannot understate how important these guys are.

The reason I’m annoyed about the picture of choice isn’t even that they didn’t picture a bee (not even in the right order- bees are hymenopterans. Flies are diptera.) What’s really grinding my absolute gears about the choice here? Bee flies parasitize bee larva.

If you’re going to use the wrong picture, at least don’t use the picture of something that actively kills what you’re trying to protect instead of the animal you’re protecting.

Also, honeybees, Apis mellifera, don’t need protection. They’re fine. They’re invasive in North America, even. Humans take care of them just fine. I’m a beekeeper, and I love them, but that’s not where our efforts should be. We should be trying to protect native bees, there are a whole bunch that I bet you’ve never heard of that need help.

Anyway, rant over. Sorry, I just could not let that one go.

My fave parts in 'Gee, Officer Krupke' from West Side Story (2021)

The smooth transition from regular scene to song

Baby John just being shoved on the swivel chair

'Tell it to the judge.' and the whisper of 'Get over there.'

Baby John just sitting in the chair, a little bored during the judge verse

the slide on the benches tho

and the lopsided glasses really sell the bit

Diesel saying 'I'm disturbed!' just so happily

Baby John looking scared for his life when they all pick him up, and then throw him

'The boy's depraved the the account he ain't at a normal home.' 'Hey, I'm depraved on account I'm deprived.'

and then the subsequent 'So take this nut to a headshrinker' 'Ooh, why not?'

the therapy chair transition is so good

'Ew, Diesel, you got a social disease?' 'Hey, wait, can I catch it by touching him?' *Proceeds to hold Diesel's hand in the next transition*

Baby John's verse is my favourite, especially how he sings 'It's not I'm anti-social, I'm only anti-work'

'This boy don't need a job he needs a year in the pen.' 'Okay.'

'The trouble is he's growing.' 'The trouble is he's grown.' HITS SO HARD I LOVE IT

'Gee, Officer Krupke, what are we to do?' omg the vocals for that are amazing 'Gee, Officer Krupke, KRUP YOU!'
