Alvin's Advice

“Well, I’ve found that talking out our problems instead of punching out our problems generally leads to better outcomes for all those involved. Much less expensive too. I’ve lost meself a lot of good ships, and even some good men, all because I couldn’t talk about my feelings.”

“I’m sorry, there must be some sort of mistake. I’m here to see Alvin the Treacherous. You know, the feared Outcast? Slayer of the Strangulator? Exterminator of the Exterminators? Breaker of hearts and lobster claws? The Viking hero who almost destroyed Berk with the mighty Screaming Death? Rival to Stoick the Vast? Winner of the most horrible beard at the Battle of the Amber Prison?” The young lad looked around, as if expecting the real Alvin the Treacherous to pop out from behind a nearby chair or door.

Alvin leaned forward. “Speaking.”

I'm sure everyone says it but here's your reminded that "treat others the way you'd like to be treated" is a method of PREVENTION. Not defense

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) plays a crucial role in ensuring safe and healthy working conditions across various sectors, including healthcare services care in Phoenix, Arizona. OSHA sets and enforces standards that employers must follow to provide a safe workplace, which is especially important in the healthcare industry due to the unique risks involved.

Random Fact #6,577

Part II - United Nations Chiefs of Police Summit (UNCOPS 2024).

Geopolitical tensions, the climate crisis, global mistrust and the dark side of technology, which Secretary-General António Guterres has called the "looming threats of the 21st century", are affecting the well-being and livelihoods of communities worldwide and the planet itself. National and United Nations Police are on the frontlines of averting and addressing these transnational threats.

The United Nations Police contribute to the Action for Peacekeeping (A4P) initiative and A4P+ priorities by building and supporting or, where mandated, acting as a substitute or partial substitute for host-State police capacity to prevent and detect crime, protect life and property, and maintain public order and safety in adherence to the rule of law and international human rights law.

---

Objectives:

A common vision and concrete commitments to further equipping the United Nations Police - UNPOL to effectively contribute to A4P and A4P+ priorities. Awareness of interlinkages between national and United Nations policing to increase global security.

Collective appreciation of the role of national and United Nations policing in overcoming systemic challenges affecting peacekeeping.

Joint understanding of the needs of the United Nations Police, including related to safety and security, and concrete Member State and Secretariat commitments to meet demands.

A common roadmap to realize the Secretary-General's vision of "a transformed United Nations police that is people-centred, modern, agile, mobile and flexible, specialized, rights-based and norm-driven", and that is also innovative, data-driven and tech-enabled.

main take aways from Halloween (1978) rewatch:

michael myers is canonically 21??? this bitch should be at the club

*sees tiddies* ***MURDEROUS RAMPAGE NOISES***

that's it that's the movie

outside of the fact that everyone who has sex is murdered by the narrative, this is a surprisingly chill portrayal of female sexuality? these teen girls are horny and actively enjoying Getting It On with their boytoys. no pushy boyfriends sneaking in through their bedroom windows--these ladies are taking the initiative to sneak out and GET SOME. one of them gets laid and then immediately orders her boyfriend to get her a beer. (yes she gets Slashered soon afterward, but so does the boyfriend so honestly, gender equality.) yes the Final Girl is the only one not having sex, but she's not bullied for that, nor are her friends slut shamed except possibly by being murdered by the narrative

actually the only character who is shown being morally condemned on-screen is michael myers. specifically FOR his violent overreaction to other people's sex lives. (people he is spying on). metaphorically, the villain is American Puritanism sticking its judgy nose into other people's business.

aka Michael Myers Is A Republican

but actually the real villain is the doctor. guy's a judgemental, shaming, pathologizing asshole. and he's been in charge of michael's care since he was SIX YEARS OLD? kid never had a chance. i'd go on a killing spree too

also the parents. where are the parents? it's halloween night and all the teenage girls are home babysitting their younger siblings? come to think of it, michael's first victim was his own older sister, whom he killed while she was babysitting him. teen girls are really shouldering a labour burden here. maybe parentification is the true villain

side note: mike commits his first murder wearing a clown costume...which is never referenced again? his 'iconic' costume is a generic mask and wig and jumpsuit, when we coulda had a Killer Clown Michael Myers??? travesty

i like how the Final Girl and her friend casually smoke weed in her car. yeah she's an honor student and her friend is the sheriff's daughter. yeah they smoke weed. so what it's 1978

(to reiterate, mike is 21 and should be at the club. im not saying he shouldn't be rampaging, im saying it's sad that he broke out, tasted freedom for the first time in his life, and immediately snuck back into his childhood home to go rampaging. let's have a remake where he goes to a nightclub and has a few beers. maybe some slutty dancing. then rampage)

oh no he's hot
