Tumblr flagged this post as sexually explicit and it's literally just a trans dude in high fantasy art.

Make it make sense.

Please keep this circulating. Cops are getting more and more brazen, know your rights!

good to know

[Image description: There are eight infrographic images, from a group called Copwatch,each with a black background, white text, and a graphic/illustration in the corner. First image: Heading reads “Am I Free To Go?” Then: This should be the first thing you ask a police officer if they approach you and start asking questions or talking to you. If an officer says YES, then calmly walk away. If they do not give you a YES or NO response, ask again until you get a clear answer. If the officer says no, you are being detained. 

Second image: Heading reads “Detained?” Then: Being DETAINED means you are being held by an officer and no longer have the legal right to walk away. An officer should have a REASONABLE SUSPICION that you have committed, are committing, or will commit a crime. It CANNOT be based on profiling. The officer should ask: Your Name, address of residence, and will ask you for an ID. If you do not have an ID, tell the officer, but if you have one, tell the officer you are reaching into your pockets to get your ID, then hand it to them. Having an ID may help you avoid illegal arrest. If an officer asks for more than your name and address, you DO NOT have to answer. Just say “I AM GOING TO REMAIN SILENT.” And then remain silent. 

Third Image: Heading reads: “Frisk,” then: When you’re detained, an officer may only legally FRISK you if they have REASONABLE SUSPICION you are armed and that they are in danger. A FRISK is a pat-down on the outside of your clothes and bag to see if you are armed AND if you pose a risk to the officer’s safety. FRISKS are limited, and an officer should NEVER go into your pockets or bag during a FRISK, and they can never tell you to empty your pockets to find evidence against you. You DO NOT have to consent to a FRISK. Say: “I DO NOT CONSENT TO THE SEARCH.” It may stop the officer, or it may not, but if you calmly and clearly say “I DO NOT CONSENT TO THE SEARCH” and the officer continues to FRISK you, this can come in handy later.

Fourth Image: Heading reads “Search,” then: A SEARCH is more invasive than a FRISK. A SEARCH involves going into your pockets, bag, or any closed container you are carrying, feeling the inside of your wristband, removing your hat and shoes, and if you are wearing a bra, to shake it out (NOT TO REMOVE THE BRA.) SEARCHES can ONLY happen when: 

1. An officer has PROBABLE CAUSE (more than REASONABLE SUSPICION) that the SEARCH will reveal evidence that you have committed a crime, are armed, or are concealing contraband. 

2. If you consent to a SEARCH

3. They have a WARRANT, or

4. You have been arrested

Remember to say, calmly and loud enough for people around the area to hear you: “I DO NOT CONSENT TO THE SEARCH.” If an officer has no legal justification for a SEARCH, saying this should stop them from searching you, but if they continue, using this can be helpful in court. NEVER empty out your pockets, because this is giving the officer consent to search you. 

Fifth Image: Heading reads “Arrest,” then: Police may arrest you if they have PROBABLE CAUSE (hard evidence) that you committed a crime. You can give your name and address. Other than this, you have the legal right to remain silent. Say out loud: “I AM GOING TO REMAIN SILENT. I WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK TO AN ATTORNEY.” DO NOT talk about anything that has to do with your arrest with anyone until you have an attorney present. DO NOT talk to the police or District Attorney, because they are trained to trick people and make people confess. DO NOT sign anything without an attorney present. You may be waiving your rights or confessing to a crime. You will be handcuffed, searched, fingerprinted, and photographed for most offenses. At the Precinct, you should be searched by an officer of the gender you identify as or request. IF this does not happen, the police MUST explain why in their command log. 

Sixth Image: Heading reads “At Home,” then: Police should not be allowed to enter your home or place of business unless they have a WARRANT. There are a few exceptions like:

A WARRANT is a legal piece of paper that allows police to enter your home. Officers should tell you they have a WARRANT and be able to present it to you. You can ask them to slide it under the door, or open the door just enough for them to slide the WARRANT through. The WARRANT should be signed by a judge have a recent date (no more than ten days ago, if the date is more than ten days ago, the WARRANT is invalid,) the correct address, and it should state what the police are looking for. If any of this is wrong, the WARRANT is invalid. You should tell the officer the WARRANT is invalid and you will not let them inside unless they can produce a valid WARRANT.

Seventh Image: Heading reads “LGBTQ,” then: People should NOT make homophobic or transphobic remarks based on your sexual orientation or gender identity or expression. You have a right to be referred to by the NAME, HONORIFICS, and PRONOUNS that reflect your gender identity (even if it does not match what is on your ID.) It is ILLEGAL for officers to search you to identify your gender. If this happens, REPORT IT. You should be placed in cells with the gender you identify as, even if it differs from what was assigned to you at birth. If you feel scared for your safety, you can ask to be treated as a SPECIAL CATEGORY PRISONER and transferred to a cell by yourself. Police should not handcuff you to rails, bars, or chains for a long period of time because you asked to be treated as a SPECIAL CATEGORY PRISONER.

Eighth Image: Heading reads “Copwatch,” then: Did you know you have the legal right to observe and document police activity? You have the right to watch and record police activity, as long as you are at a reasonable distance and are not interfering. This is called COPWATCH. Copwatch is when from various communities gather to watch the cops in small groups. We record any police misconduct, and many times, our presence alone helps to de-escalate situations from getting worse. You can copwatch in teams or by yourself, however it is more than recommended that you are with a trained group. For more information on COPWATCH, or if you want to build a formal team in your area, contact info@peoplesjustice.org  End image description.]

Pro tip: If you copy and paste a link that said “no free articles” into a private/incognito browser, it will let you read the whole thing.

also if u press the “esc” (escape) key on ur laptop before the page fully loads, it won’t load any pop-ups blocking u from reading. if the article has images, then this method sometimes does not u see them. but! the words will be fine :)

If the site is particularly badly designed, you might just be able to delete the overlay itself. Right click > Inspect element and delete the line of HTML (it’ll be highlighted automatically)

hey kids there is a website called outline.com that will let you read from pretty much any news site with a paywall for free

outline.com is amazing - it hasn’t failed yet on any site that I’ve tried it on.

There’s a chrome extension and firefox extension.

The point isnt that there are workarounds for non-free news sites, the point being that if you have to jump through hoops to get the news, people are going to where they dont have to jump through hoops.

Repeating this because it’s ridiculously important:

Quick comic to get out my FEELINGS I want to THROW UP Neil

I love this Twitter.

I came into my room and there was a web directly across the inside of my doorway even though it had only been a couple of hours since I last walked in here. Of course I immediately thought of this old Far Side which is never too far from my mind

bat opens up their little bat wallet to find they are all out of moths. A worthless $100 bill flies out for emphasis

From top-of-frame, a month flutters into the wallet. Confused, the bat looks "up" to see an equally-confused human standing "above" her, holding an open wallet containing a single $100 bill.

Camera rotates to reveal bat has been hanging upside down above a human doing the exact same visual gag and each ruined the other's bit.

Laugh track.

I know people on tumblr looove stories of underwater cave diving, but I haven't seen anyone talk about nitrogen narcosis aka "raptures of the deep"

basically when you want to get your advanced scuba certification (allowing you to go more than 60 feet deep) you have to undergo a very specific test: your instructor takes you down past the 60+ foot threshold, and she brings a little underwater white board with her.

she writes a very basic math problem on that board. 6 + 15. she shows it to you, and you have to solve it.

if you can solve it, you're good. that is the hardest part of the test.

because here's what happens: there is a subset of people, and we have no real idea why this happens only to them, who lose their minds at depth. they're not dying, they're not running out of oxygen, they just completely lose their sense of identity when deep in the sea.

a woman on a dive my instructor led once vanished during the course of the excursion. they were diving near this dropoff point, beyond which the depth exceeded 60 feet and he'd told them not to go down that way. the instructor made his way over to look for her and found a guy sitting at the edge of the dropoff (an underwater cliff situation) just staring down into the dark. the guy is okay, but he's at the threshold, spacing out, and mentally difficult to reach. they try to communicate, and finally the guy just points down into the dark, knowing he can't go down there, but he saw the woman go.

instructor is deep water certified and he goes down. he shines his light into the dark, down onto the seafloor which is at 90 feet below the surface. he sees the woman, her arms locked to her sides, moving like a fish, swimming furiously in circles in the pitch black.

she is hard to catch but he stops her and checks her remaining oxygen: she is almost out, on account of swimming a marathon for absolutely no reason. he is able to drag her back up, get her to a stable depth to decompress, and bring her to the surface safely.

when their masks are off and he finally asks her what happened, and why was she swimming like that, she says she fully, 100% believed she was a mermaid, had always been a mermaid, and something was hunting her in the dark 👍

even with those four numbers there are countless possible combinations good luck with figuring out which one is the right one you punk

*straightens calculator*

It’s pretty likely that it’s a four digit number, and as there are four digits chosen there, that means that there cannot be any repetition. This mean that there are:

n!/(n-4)! possible orders. As ‘n’ is 4 (number of digits available). 4!/0! which becomes 4x3x2x1/1 which simplifies to 24. That means that there are 24 possible combinations of codes. This would take you about two or three minutes to input all possible codes.

Unless an alarm goes off if you don’t get it right in 3 tries

*straightens calculator again*

Kick the fucking door in

well ‘technically’ the code is most likley 1970. statistically, a majority of people, when told to choose a 4 digit code will choose their birth year. and this key pad is obviously a few years old to put it nicely, thats most likley it. 

some sherlock holmes shit just went down over here

No, no, no. Don’t base your deductions of psychology. Let’s talk chemistry. When you first press a button, there’s more of the natural oils on your skin, and therefore it wears down the numbers on the keys faster. Obviously 0 is the first one, then. Try 0791 first.

Sherlock out.

woah.

it got better

and this is why the sherlock fandom could either rule the world or end it….

Close, but not quite, I think. People will almost always choose a number they can remember. What’s memorable about 0791? Try 0719 - a birthday, 19th of July. That is more likely.

Those deductions are great and all, but unnecessary.

The light is green.

The door is already open.

And that’s why we have a John Watson.

This is “top 10 favorite posts” level.

Omg, it’s actually on my dash! This post is like a fossil!

Idk if I’ve rebloged this before, but I’ll reblog this legend again

Smithsonian? I’ve found the quintessential Tumblr and Sherlock fandom post. Yes. I would consider it definitive.

Ahh it’s back.

Legend of a post. 10/10 recommend reblogging.

this post is on my dash I feel HONORED

THE POST OF LEGENDS HAS RESURFACED ON MY DASH

I’VE ONLY EVER SEEN THIS IN SCREENSHOTS OMG

On your dash? I dig for gold like this,,, by looking at my mutual pages.

I’ve only seen this on Pinterest!

*gasp* THE SACRED TEXTS!

:O

THIS IS A LEGENDARY POST I HAVE BEEN GRACED BY IT’S APPEARANCE!!!

@hellsite-hall-of-fame

yesssss

Why did Tumblr stop doing stuff like this, it’s genuinely fascinating, and cute that we include our favorite media in things we do

Well. Since you asked. I was on tumblr as this post was being built in 2013. The height of superwholock. Which has, since then, been declared peak cringe. So people picked new fandoms to openly love in earnest. Which were also eventually declared cringe. Eventually the youth decided to cut out the middleman, and declared loving anything in earnest to be fully cringe. So it has been a really long time since the day to day users of tumblr have let any fandom create anything nearing the cultural phenomenon that was superwholock. And it is exactly those cultural phenomena that are needed to create posts like this.

So. What happened? Cringe culture happened.

Try and imagine what would happen if this post wasn’t the “sacred texts” only ever seen in screen shots and in pinterest. Try and imagine any current pop culture detective media fandom creating this post today. They’d be slaughtered for being cringe by the time (in this case) Sherlock was mentined.

But because this post is 10 years old and completely broke containment, it’s celebrated when it graces our dashes.

I blazed a small fandom event announcement.  Because I was genuinely excited to be part of a Big Bang for a wonderful movie.  One of the first responses I got was “Why would you blaze this?” Because of genuine excitement. Because I wanted to celebrate the friends I’d met in the fandom To spread joy to people who might also like the content but hadn’t seen it yet.   The fact that that was genuinely not realized made me sad.  I love thing, I celebrate thing.   I’m too old for cringe.  Cringe is dead.  Love what you love.  Enjoy the small things in life, it’s too short to do otherwise.
