#cane cutters

[n1et]

I just got a cane and oh my god, my entire body is shaking. It's as if I was standing up for all my life and just sat down. Life changing decision to just go and get one, and it only costed 34 PLN, I could get like a single burger with no sides or drink for that. Solid oak, admittedly about 3cm too long but I'm gonna trim it in a sec.

And I never even had big issues with my legs, just a slight left hip joint problem, nothing painful, 99% of the time I didn't notice it. But I guess it was just overworked and stiff all this time? Even my tension headaches got slightly better.

If you feel like you have ANY issues with your legs just get a cane, or even go to a medical store and try it out for 10 minutes, you don't even have to buy it at first. The investment is so low and the difference is potentially massive.

I can't believe I waited over 4 years to do this.

What weapon do you think she'd use?

Not the most closely acquainted with miku myself but it'd have to be the tonitrus right?

A butch to their carabiner is what I as a femme am to my tote bag. This heffa can hold 90 lbs worth of anxious femme items. From sunscreens to medications, water to snacks.

Oh, you think your blood sugar is going low? You want Gatorade, orange juice?? Oh, you're struggling to walk rn, how about the collapsible cane? Overstimulated? Don't worry, I brought three different headphones, take your pick! Box cutter, pens, booklet, a copy of Mockingjay, take your pick, I've got it!

And yes I absolutely will hold that glass item you have absolutely no idea what to do with, give it here! And yes, I will hand you your phone, no worries!

Oh, is it heavy? Does my shoulder hurt? Yes, like a mug! Can you take that weight off my shoulder? Absolutely not, I need to make sure I'm ready in case someone needs something! :3

TEXT ID: I saw these watermelon costumes at a demonstration I attended. A white supremacist attempted to stab the crowd I was in with a box cutter, and I had enough. People were screaming in terror long after he was gone, like he might mow us down with his car from out of the blue. I hobbled down the grassy side of the Walker sculpture park, flicking up dirt with my cane and muttering unkindly about other attendees. This country has made me so small. 

Do you remember art memes on DeviantART? I watch disintegrated Palestinian children being pulled out of rubble by their shivering siblings, and I am gutted by the absurdity of meeting this horror with a “Draw this In Your Style” art challenge. How to compensate for this critical lack of imagination, this patently American creative dysfunction, when it comes to responding to crises? 

I know what it is like to be asked, by this rotted and festering empire, to kindly suffer and die in silence. I have watched this phony “return to normal” with my own eyes; eyes that cannot focus correctly when I am at my sickest. I am told the pandemic is over, and that is technically correct – the virus is now endemic. I am told we have the tools. We choose not to use them.

What does it mean to be a communist when you are too sick to get up and down the stairs in your home? What does it mean to be a Jew when your name is used to unleash and justify hell on earth? What does it mean to be queer, when empires dangle your expression as a spoil of colonial conquest?

What does it mean to be an artist, when no artistic endeavor is proportionate to the size of the world your country plunders for profit? 

I want to be as big as these watermelon slices. 

My liberation is wrapped up in yours. That’s all there is. My liberation is wrapped up in yours. / END TEXT ID

Read This and find out why I am Holding a Legal Garden Tool that can be used for many purposes and IS NOT ON THE BAN LIST

THIS BTW IS a family heirloom used still to cut cane and bush today

It’s now illegal to have these weapons in your home

Sarah McGee

As of yesterday (14 July), it is now illegal to possess certain dangerous weapons- even in your own home.

The aim of the Offensive Weapons Act 2019 is to bring in tough new measures that strengthen law enforcement’s response to violent crime.

It was already illegal to possess a knife or offensive weapon in public, but the Offensive Weapons Act makes it unlawful to possess certain rapid firing rifles, specific types of knives and other offensive weapons in private.

Some weapons covered in the ban include knuckledusters, zombie knives and death star knives.

Anyone unlawfully possessing a firearm covered by the ban will face up to 10 years in prison, and anyone who owns another weapon covered could face up to six months behind bars and a fine.

Soon, further parts of the act will come into play and you have to verify you are over 18 to buy bladed items from the internet.

You won’t be able to have bladed items delivered to a locker or other automated pick up point.

Items will be clearly labelled as bladed articles, and those delivering the items may ask you for proof of age.

National Police Chiefs' Council lead on knife crime, Deputy Assistant Commissioner Graham McNulty, said: “The harm caused to families and communities through the tragic loss of life relating to knife crime is devastating and that is why focusing on this issue remains a top priority for policing.

“We welcome the changes to legislation being introduced by the Offensive Weapons Act.

"These measures will help officers to take dangerous weapons off the streets, deal with those intent on using them to cause harm and suffering, and crucially, make it more difficult for young people to get hold of knives and other dangerous items in the first place.

“Knife crime is not something that can be solved by policing alone. We are working with businesses, schools, charities and community schemes to educate young people and explain why carrying a knife is never the right choice.

"This early intervention plays a vitally important role in stopping young people from turning to a life of crime.”

Which weapons can you no longer possess?

Section 141 of the Criminal Justice Act 1988 provides that it is an offence to manufacture, sell or hire, offer for sale or hire, expose or have in his possession for the purpose of sale or hire of or lending or giving to any other person certain specified weapons.

Here is a full list:

A knuckleduster, that is, a band of metal or other hard material worn on one or more fingers, and designed to cause injury, and any weapon incorporating a knuckleduster.  

A swordstick, that is, a hollow walking-stick or cane containing a blade which may be used as a sword.

‘Handclaw’- being a band of metal or other hard material from which a number of sharp spikes protrude, and worn around the hand.  

‘Belt buckle knife’- being a buckle, which incorporates or conceals a knife.  

‘Push dagger’, being a knife, the handle of which fits within a clenched fist and the blade of which protrudes from between two fingers.  

‘Hollow kubotan’, being a cylindrical container containing a number of sharp spikes.  

‘Footclaw’, being a bar of metal or other hard material from which a number of sharp spikes protrude, and worn strapped to the foot.  

‘Shuriken’, ‘shaken’ or ‘death star’, being a hard, non-flexible plate having three or more sharp radiating points and designed to be thrown.  

‘Balisong’ or ‘butterfly knife’, being a blade enclosed by its handle, which is designed to split down the middle, without the operation of a spring or other mechanical means, to reveal the blade.  

‘Telescopic truncheon’, being a truncheon which extends automatically by hand pressure applied to a button, spring or other device in or attached to its handle.  

‘Blowpipe’ or ‘blow gun’, being a hollow tube out of which hard pellets or darts are shot by the use of breath.  

‘Kusari gama’, being a length of rope, cord, wire or chain fastened at one end to a sickle.  

‘Kyoketsu shoge’, being a length of rope, cord, wire or chain fastened at one end to a hooked knife.  

‘Manrikigusari’ or ‘kusari’, being a length of rope, cord, wire or chain fastened at each end to a hard weight or hand grip.  

A disguised knife, that is any knife which has a concealed blade or concealed sharp point and is designed to appear to be an everyday object of a kind commonly carried on the person or in a handbag, briefcase, or other hand luggage.  

A stealth knife, that is a knife or spike, which has a blade, or sharp point, made from a material that is not readily detectable by apparatus used for detecting metal and which is not designed for domestic use or for use in the processing, preparation or consumption of food or as a toy.  

A straight, side-handled or friction-lock truncheon (sometimes known as a baton).  

A sword with a curved blade of 50 centimetres or over in length; and for the purposes of this sub-paragraph, the length of the blade shall be the straight line distance from the top of the handle to the tip of the blade.  

“Zombie knife”, “zombie killer knife” or “zombie slayer knife”, being a blade with — (i) a cutting edge; (ii) a serrated edge; and (iii) images or words (whether on the blade or handle) that suggest that it is to be used for the purpose of violence.  

“Cyclone knife” or “spiral knife”, being a weapon with — (i) a handle; (ii) a blade with two or more cutting edges, each of which forms a helix; and (ii) a sharp point at the end of the blade

Christmas Cookies

Sergio Ramos x Fem!Reader

Warnings: dad!sergio, making cookies and decorating gets messy, family sweetness, one r-rated joke but the kids aren't around.

Word Count: 374

Author's Note: sorry this set is late lmao, I've been in such a slump.

--

The kids insist Santa must get cookies when he drops off his present. Sergio make sure they know that Santa stopped by during night.

The kids were adamant on making cookies, Sergio knew you had a lot to do over the next few days, hoping he could bribe them into just buying the cookies for Santa but they insisted on homemade cookies as it would get them on the nice list for next year.

They were definitely Sergio's kids, always thinking ahead.

You gave in, helping them make the cookies. You and the boys cut out little candy canes, snowflakes, bells and Santa hats from the dough with the cookie cutters and put them to bake.

Sergio helps them decorate while you reply to a few work emails. When you return, all of them are covered in frosting and sprinkles, as were the counters but the cookies were safely on the other side of the kitchen cooling off so the frosting hardened a bit.

The boys beg, asking if they can have a cookie and of course you gave in, despite your husband shaking his head no. "You spoil them," Sergio says, an arm over your shoulder.

"It's one cookie- hey!" You laughed, your husband leaning over to take a huge bite from your cookie.

After the cookie hyper settled, you and Sergio helped them set up the cookies and milk for Santa, before tucking them into bed.

You and Sergio had gotten into bed too as you were sure the boys would wake up early so they could open their gifts.

At some point, Sergio had woken up and made his way downstairs quietly. He took a few bites from the cookies and washed it down with the milk, leaving the half eaten cookies on the counter and the empty glass on the coffee table before making his way back upstairs.

The mattress dips, your husband's warmth has returned. "Where'd you go?" you whispered, eyes still closed.

He pulls you into him, "to eat cookies."

"what?"

"So it seems like Santa came," he tells you and you smile, your hand on his jaw as you reach up to kiss him softly.

"You're such a good daddy, babe."

"I'll show you what a good daddy does," he whispers in your ear, his hand grabbing at your ass.

You laughed, swatting his hands away. "Go back to sleep, Sergio."

Bubz's 12 Days of Ficmas: Day Two Christmas Cookies (Michael Myers)

Welcome to day 2! The notes I leave at the top of these are pretty self explanatory so I'll make this one short and sweet and I hope you guys enjoy! <3.

Notes: Minors DNI, Fluffy, No specific descriptions of reader or pronouns are used. SFW.

The flour was spread out onto the counter in front of you as you took the ball of sugar cookie dough you had just mixed together and gently sat it down onto the floury spot. You pressed it down flat and grabbed your rolling pin ready to roll out enough to use the holiday cookie cutters you had picked up at the store recently.

You sighed an annoyed sigh before rolling your eyes and looking up at the dark door frame and the looming figure just behind it.

"Ya know Michael, it's not Halloween anymore. You have the free time to come and help me"

You said sarcastically into the abyss of the darkness past the kitchen door. You could see the dark mass in said abyss shift slightly. Followed by an ever so slight change in breathing before it went back to the normal steady pace. You shrugged.

"Fine then, I guess if you don't want to help you don't want any of the cookies when they're done"

You then continued your work. Pressing the wooden rolling pin down onto the dough mound before moving it back and forth to roll out an even sheet to fit just the right amount of cookie cutters into. Michael's thoughts were so loud you could almost here them.

"What? Me the shape of Haddonfield baking Christmas cookies?"

You could almost hear them going through his head in his voice that it had been years since you last heard. A smile broke across your face at the funny thought of Michael being offended that you had even asked, so much so you almost forgot he was even there.

You picked up the cookie cutters and starting to place them down onto the dough to map out how many you could get when you heard the old chair beyond that abyss creak. Almost as if a massive weight was lifted off of it.

You looked up and through the darkness of the not lit dining room, you could make out the silhouette of the stark white mask that he always insisted to wear even around you.

"Care to finally join me Michael?"

You asked, holding up a reindeer cookie cutter so he could see it. You weren't sure when the last time Michael had done anything remotely festive had been, well maybe if you count the yearly Halloween massacres he goes on, You figured it had probably been in Smith's Grove when he was still a kid inside those walls.

You could picture the doctors and guards possibly unenthusiastically giving the underage patients various Christmas "crafts" to do, even though the doctors and nurses secretly just wished to be home with their own families and not Michael Myers himself.

Michael made his way around the counter to loom behind you. You could feel his eyes through the mask piercing through your back as you just carried on with the cookies as usual.

You reached over and picked up a candy cane shaped cookie that had been taken out of the oven earlier that night and was already cool and handed it over to Michael.

You stood and watched as he inspected the cookie as if it were a foreign object he had never seen before.

"You can taste it if you'd like Michael"

His eyes connected to yours for a moment, before a giant hand came up to pull his mask slightly away from his face. His other hand lifted the cookie up to his mouth and a distinct crunch was heard when he bit into the cookie.

"So? whaddya think?"

Michael looked back up at you as he chewed the cookie. It had been forever since he had eaten anything even remotely as edible as this. When Michael was done chewing, with his eyes still locked onto yours he brought a giant hand up and patted the top of your head as if you were a dog being praised.

You let out a laugh at his actions

"I'll take that as you liked it?"

Michael nodded, it was rare for him that he was this...animated, even for you.

"Well thank you Mr. Myers. I'm honored that the shape of Haddonfield likes my Christmas cookies"

With another silent nod, Michael disappeared back into the unlit dining room just as quickly as he arrived. Though this time you heard him continue walking past his chair and towards what sounded like the front door.

You turned around looking for your knife you were using to cut the access dough and when you couldn't find it you called out to Michael.

"Michael! I just got done saying it's not Halloween!"
