A car got the boot and decided to just remove the tire completely.

Seems Celaena also was taught by Detective JJ Bittenbinder

i don't pick up callers who say unknown. like my guy, you call me and are a stranger??? i feel like i would just not get to talk to a psycho killer in a horror movie. like i would never pick up until they got ahold of someone in my contact lists' phone. even then i would be like, they never call, this is clearly a pocket dial.

Whenever I read street smarts, I am reminded of this:

[anarcho-catboyism]

I really need to stress to anyone that calls themself Antifascist that you should absolutely not wear anything Antifa related in public unless you've accepted that there's a chance you will be confronted violently.

You can cry I'm fearmongering all you want, the truth is that the public is not going to keep you any safer than it would keep fash safe. Why do you think fash don't walk around with a huge decal on their shirt that says "I AM A NAZI" on it when running errands? They know they'll get their shit kicked if they're caught out alone by the wrong crowd.

The same can happen to you. If you wanna wear an "Antifascist Action" shirt be my guest but you need to understand that Fash can corner you somewhere and at best humiliate you, at worst you'll end up dead.

If you wanna make the choice to wear Antifa stuff irl, then at least be trained, carry, and be ready. Don't underestimate the enemy, they're Scum but they're violent Scum who fetishsize the chance to humiliate or beat someone who got way in over their heads. I'd rather see you out with a casual shirt helping people in need than flaunting your AFA 161 Shirt and then ending up in the hospital because you weren't ready.

Deku: What was hero commission training like?

Lady Nagent: They were always calling assemblies. We had the same speaker every year when I was a kid, his name was Detective JJ Bittenbinder.

Hawks: YES! He was a child homicide expert and you’re seven years old and you’re sitting five feet away from him. He’s still got blood on his shoes.

Lady Nagent: He was the weirdest goddamn person I ever saw in my entire life. Bittenbinder came every year with a program to teach us about the violent world waiting for us outside the school gym, and that program was called Street Smarts!

“Time for Street Smarts with Detective JJ Bittenbinder. Shut up! You’re all gonna die. Street Smarts!”

That was the general tone. He would give us tips to deal with crime.

Hawks: He came one year for assembly. He goes, “Okay, when you get kidnapped…” Not if, when. I thought I was going to be murdered my entire childhood.

People were like, “What are your top three hero agencies?” I was like, “Top three agencies? I thought I would be dead in a trunk with my hand hanging out of the taillight by now.”

Newest layout for my grandson’s art journal. I keep trying to add inspirational/funny pages throughout his book and I hope he likes them as much as I do and he loves the work and love that went into each one. Created by Teri French

Reading The Assassin and the Healer:

& laughing my ass off

Celaena Sardothien LITERALLY giving the “STREET SMARTS!!!” talk to Yrene Towers in Chapter 4

— I’m beginning to think in another life she may have been JJ BittenBinder lol🤣 like this quote: “SHE was not a ‘spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down’ kind of guy, like, ‘Brush your teeth. Now, boom, orange juice. That’s life.’”😂 or even; “Okay, when you get kidnapped…” Not if, when.” — basically her training Fleetfoot😅😂🤣

“Do not let them move you to another location.”

“Throw whatever coins you have far away from you and run in the opposite direction.”

It is absolutely amazing to me that you have created this social media empire for yourself, yet you don't understand the concept behind soup.
