-any sort of event that you were meant to enjoy (ie a theme park, a birthday party, a holiday)

So I’m at a library in a town I don’t live in to spend time with my nieces and I go to the bathroom and see this sign.

They turned their old card catalog into free supplies people can discretely take on their own.

This is the coolest thing ever, a great way to help people without making them ask, and an amazing reuse of a the card catalog. I’m seriously about to cry I love it so much.

XP/98 remix

ok what the fuck

It sounds like some digital boss theme

I had to draw this.

This is AMAZING. lol

Ah the nostalgia. If Windows 98 was a boss, it would glitch out and start falling apart and freezing reality around you and malfunctioning. That thing was seriously unstable. XP was the first decent operating system Microsoft made.

This is why I have this. Even if they can get the lock opened they can’t push the door open. Got it at Lowes for $20.

reblog for that last bit to save a life

If you’re like me and have a large gap under your front door (someone could take a stick and just poke the leaning stick style door jam out), I recommend the Addalock. It’s small, perfect for traveling, and this lock is CRAZY. It’s so simple but the door does not move.

You can’t see it from the other side, either. It also cost about $20, and I can’t recommend it enough. Easy to travel with, too! Great for Air BnBs!

That’s why I have these on my doors. They get drilled into the side and once its flipped over the door nothing is getting it open. Not the door being unlocked nothing, I’ve unlocked the door and pulled and pushed as hard as I could and it didn’t budge. When I go on a trip this is what I use and when I’m home I leave it on too. No one is getting in here.

Okay I know that it is necessary for many but what do you do if you need medical attention and you’re not able to open the door from the inside? Can the fire department get through these at least?  

Yes. The fire department can and will break down your door if necessary, it’s one of the reasons they have axes; it’s entirely possible for door frames to melt/expand/seize or otherwise become unopenable during a house fire but the door itself can be hacked down. Or the window. In rare cases, the wall. Firefighters don’t fuck around with collateral damage when lives are at stake.

Sharing for all the safety items!!

Reblog if it’s ok for people to give you $599.99

Please don’t hesitate

1 penny below reporting limit for the IRS… I see what you did there

(Don’t give me $599.99)

That’s not the right IRS rule.

$599.99 is the amount below which a business does not need to issue a 1099 to a contractor who provides business services. The contractor still needs to report the income on their taxes.

The correct number for the IRS rule for money that is gifted rather than received in a business transaction is $13999.99–more than that, and the recipient has to pay tax on the gift and report it to the IRS. Less than that, and there’s no taxation or reporting requirement.

If we’re choosing amounts on the basis of IRS limits, give these people $13,999.99. 

Go. Do it.

Reblog if it’s ok for people to give you $13,999.99

it’s so hilarious to me that straight women think they are so irresistible to us gay women that we are just waiting to pounce on them as soon as we’re in the same space like nah we can smell your homophobia from miles away you fucking gremlins

reblog to kill the predatory lesbian myth

This but also cis lesbians about trans lesbians

reblog again to kill the predatory trans women myth

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)

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.

Yes this last one really saves lives y'all I do it all the time

girls have to learn to view the world like international intelligence agents just to be safe walking down the street. smh.

guys pls pls pls reblog and girls pls pls pls be safe out there. terrifying and so sad that we have to worry about this on a daily basis

(I’m an enby, but, frankly, this is helpful for anyone.)

- always tell someone where youre at and an approx time when youll be back

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.

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

DO NOT SCROLL PAST

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!!!!!

i fucking hate this world. anyways R E B L O G

Just saw a video explaining why putting a key between each finger is more likely to hurt you than them (the keys will just get pushed back into your knuckles). A better way to hold them is to get your longest key and just clench your hand around it, like you’re making a fist. That’ll give you a lot more force and means you can use them in more scenarios (if someone grabs you from behind, you can use the key this way)

Not only for girls and women but also for boys and men.

i feel obligated to reblog this.

I hate that we need these things, but this is so so so important, it can literally save someone’s life

How to tell if your drink has been spiked:

1. The colour of it has changed

2. It’s become cloudy-looking

3. There more bubbles in it than should be

4. The ice in it sinks

If you are being followed, go to somewhere with high security like a jewellery store or a bar, if you can, and say what’s happening (the jewellery store and bar are best shots because they’re the most likely ones to believe you, the bar for obvious reasons and the jewellery store because there’s not likely to be a huge presence of toxic masculinity so you’ll be believed)

I hate it so much that i have to reblog this and that we still need this, but it’s so important!! Please everyone (yes also boys/men/enbys/genderfluids/everyone) stay safe out there!!

but I was never taught these things.

The first time I was groped, I was 10 years old. Do you feel sick yet? 10 years. What kind of fucker gropes a 10 y/o?

All I have learnt is to use my elbow or knee or fist or just duck and avoid contact. This post helped a lot, thanks.

It was the english teacher at my old school tho I did broke his nose and stabbed his stomach with a pen so

Also carry pointie / sharp or that which has a edge, it helps a lot, yk, just stab

-if you’re walking alone w/ headphones in, either have one earbud out at all times or have the music/podcast/audiobook/whatever you’re listening to on low and always listen for footsteps or other noises coming from behind you

-If there is a strange looking man in front of your building who doesn’t live there, walk around the block until he leaves so he can’t figure out that you live there and so he can’t kidnap you

-if a man is groping you against your will, go for the balls. always go for the balls. It’ll 1) hurt like hell, and 2) shock him to the point where you can probably run away and get help.

- carry pepper spray or some other type of weapon

As this site is full of readers,

1: if you’re reading a book with a large number of pages, you know, those BIG ONES, or with the hard cover, don’t leave it at home and never bring outside. I’m not saying to bring it everywhere, but if you are going to any possible dangerous places alone, bring them, in a purse or even by hand (to show it to everyone). Believe me, if you hit someone with it, it will hurt them!!

2: hairspray works just like pepper spray

3: if your being attacked, and you don’t have any pointed objects, neither training, put your fingers on the predators eyes and press it. With all your strength, it will leave them blind or disabled. Use it only if your life is in risk!

4:

5: the iPhones have a great setting that if you press it will call police, send them photos of your back and front cameras and send a message to the contacts you select saying your in danger; press 5times the “turn off” button and it will appear -sometimes you have to activate it before-

6:

I’m so happy to share these tips.

Don’t ignore pls it might save your of someone else’s life

truthfully, it’s a shame that this is a problem in the first place.

thank you to everyone who gave tips, and please reblog! it may help someone in the long run, and maybe even save their life.

DO NOT SCROLL PAST

ALSO ALWAYS use your Elbows if you’re being pushed from behind. It happened to me in a fucking CVS!

Thankfully I was with a friend but still it was a distributing event. Please CALL OUT TO ANYONE. AND TELL THE EMPLOYEES. I did that and now they have a guard there! REBLOG

also, if someone is strangling you from the front, aim for the eyes or throat or knee him in the groin.

people once again, if you’re wearing heels, stomp on their feet as hard as you can. that shit hurts.

I FUCKING HATE THIS WORLD. BUT REBLOG AND DON’T SCROLL PAST.

1.You can make your own spray by using

- Red chilli powder

- paprika

- pepper

-water

-small amount of oil

- soap

- chilli flakes

Mix em’ all together well and put it in a spray bottle.

2.This shit stings like hellfire so keep it close to you always.

3.Carry a small fork if not anything else with yiu. Trust me I do.

4. If you have your purse or handbag, swing the handbag and attack as hard as possible. The swing creates a centripetal force and centrifugal force with acceleration that increases the impact.

5. A small scarf (if you feel the uber is dodgy and stopped at the traffic, blindfold that fucker)

6. If you feel someone has put eyes on you for a long time, act weird. Act as weird as possible. Your life comes first honey.

7. If you’re up in a public bus, try to get the aisle seat instead of window seat (A fucker once tried to f*inger a girl in public in my country)

8. Push your fingers in the attacker’s eye, if , God Forbid, they corner you. This makes them stumble.

  1. always have a self-defense kit/anything really in your pocket
  2. when you’re walking alone, do the key trick where you push your key between your fingers and ball your hand into a fist
  3. i usually do this when it’s dark outside : i have the police number readied on my phone so if something happens i call them immediately
  4. when you call the police, give them the address where you are without context
  5. read this, it’s really useful
  6. never have your earphones in when you’re walking alone and especially when it’s dark outside, you never know
  7. never leave your drink alone, always have someone to look after it and keep your hand covering the cup if you’re not drinking from it and someone is next to you
  8. always have someone know where you are
  9. if a car pulls up next to you, run to the other direction

Be safe out there ladies 🙏

I really hate the world we live in but please hear me out..

Share your location with your friends and family! I know alot of yall dont like people in your business but it can save your life! One SOS text is all someone would need to use your location and find you.

if your in a uber always sit behind the driver incase you have to put his ass in a headlock. I did it before and someday someone else might have to too.

It also helps if youre on the phone , i prefer ft (iphone people) with someone who has your location. Talk to them from the moment your uber arrives until you get out and are safely in your destination. They’ll be the first ones to know if something happens to you.
