YOU ARE NOT ANNOYING FOR TALKING ABOUT STUFF YOU LIKE.

If you’ve found something that you can talk about for hours, that makes you so happy and excited when someone brings it up, that’s not annoying. That’s amazing and beautiful and you’re adorable.

Keep talking about the stuff you like. The right people will listen.

Reblog and you might save someone’s life, especially with all our Black Girls going missing #ProtectBlackGirls #SaveLife

For those who don’t know what’s happening in the video, she untied her shoelaces, pulled one through the inside of the zip tie binding her hands, then tied the shoelaces together. Then, by pulling downward and back and forth on the shoelaces with her feet, she created enough friction to wear away part of the ziptie, making it weak enough to snap right off her hands.

Damn

For those who don’t have shoelaces and for those who do but don’t want to trip over their own feet in case something goes wrong, here’s another way:

It’s all about quick, determined movement of your arms. To see it in action, watch the video at https://youtu.be/0Gr6HX_IKpw?t=9m – the zip ties part starts around the 8:00 min mark. The video also shows how to escape handcuffs and duct tape. And if you’re wondering what to do when you’ve got your hands behind your back, go to approx. the 0:20 min mark of the following video: “Moving cuffs from behind back to front position” (taken from thrillwriting.blogspot.de/2013/05/credit-wikipedia-disclaimer-this-is-non.html, where you’ll also find additional information on how to escape handcuffs).

Every so often Brian Brushwood makes a video on something that’s not just “hey look guys fun magic stuff!” and that could actually be useful in case (god forbid) you find yourself in a hairy situation.

He’s got a few videos on lock-picking and improvised weapons on his YouTube channels, Scam School and The Modern Rogue. I might link them later after work if I can find them (and remember to do so).

Okay, so, a few additions to this post now that I’ve remembered I said I’d add things:

Lock-picking with a paperclip

Dependent on people using an older lock, but on the off chance it becomes necessary, picking a bike lock with a pen

Picking a padlock (a bit specific on the lock type, but it’s relevant in case you’ve gotta get out of any place held closed with one of these)

And they have a bunch of martial arts/self-defense stuff on The Modern Rogue:

Trust

the-haven-of-fiction:

There is a huge difference between a person who desires to be trusted by you and a person who desires to rule over you.  Huge.  One of those is based on maturity, confidence, and respect.  The other comes from a place of selfishness, insecurity, and predation.  Don’t be fooled by the arrogant lust for power that masquerades as concern for your well-being; it is usually an indication of unresolved issues and those issues will only be resolved internally.  People who have felt powerless and have not properly healed will seek out someone who willingly gives them the power that they are seeking to regain for themselves.

  • Trust advises upon request.  Power imposes its will.
  • Trust guides.  Power controls.  
  • Trust enquires honestly regarding your opinion.  Power informs selfishly regarding its opinion.
  • Trust invites.  Power asserts.
  • Trust is an open hand.  Power is a pointed finger.
  • Trust shares.  Power hoards.  
  • Trust is about deep confidence.  Power is about hollow bravado.  
  • Trust suggests.  Power dictates.
  • Trust wants to be useful to you.  Power wants you to be useful to itself. 

Don’t settle for the latter if you desire the former.
