The article "Urban Prepping — Emergency Preparedness in the City" by Kit Perez, discusses the unique challenges of survival in an urban environment during disasters. Unlike rural areas where survival resources are abundant, cities require different survival skills and preparation for disastrous events like earthquakes, hurricanes, or civil unrest. The importance of situational awareness, self-defense proficiency, and blending in during emergencies is emphasized. It highlights the limitations of depending solely on stored resources and stresses the need for emergency plans including Bug Out Bags (BOBs) for evacuation. Moreover, urban dwellers are encouraged to adapt their training to city-centric scenarios, focusing on both combat and non-combat skills to navigate potentially chaotic urban landscapes during emergencies.

Rants at the Hairdresser

her, behind me trimming my hair: "it's so wild how big cars are. Seems a bit dangerous, ya know?"

me, enjoying the smell of the stuff she sprayed in my hair: "Yeah, apparently that's because it's cheaper to have a car classified as a 'light truck' since you can get past safety regulations and they have different frames."

her, who has paused working on my hair: "Wait, are you serious?"

me: "Yeah, apparently it's a lot cheaper for companies to do that. And it really sucks since driving one of those cars is super dangerous, but it's even more dangerous for other people, especially if they're in a smaller car. Since it would be more safe to be another driver if they ALSO have a 'light truck,' everyone is caught in a cycle of getting bigger and bigger cars. All of which are extremely dangerous and have made being a pedestrian even more dangerous."

her: deep in thought, silent.

me, happy that someone is letting me rant about this: "Oh, the new Cadillacs are the size of tanks. That's not an exaggeration, by the way."

her, stunned: ???? "what the actual hell???"

we're silent for a bit

her, hesitantly, since I look like white trash and she has at least 10 piercings and pink hair: "I feel like America has been that way for a while... ya know?"

me: "Oh yeah, I totally get what you're saying, like, putting profit over people's safety?"

her, assured now that she knows we're both too commie pilled for this kind of conversation with someone else: "Yes! Exactly! It really sucks, right?"

me: "God, tell me about it"

I was very happy with my haircut, btw. She's so good at her job. :D

I’ve been thinking since I watched the Hbomberguy video and it occurred to me

He said that one of the reasons he started looking into James Somerton’s stuff, is because he was being accused of plagiarism. He looked into it because he wanted to verify wether that was true, because queer people often get falsely accused of things, and harassed because of it. He wanted to make sure that wasn't happening.

In the end, his downfall was the kindness of the community that he exploited.

A Christmas Surprise by moonwoodhollow - a cc lot for Christmas & Winter

Merry Christmas, everyone! And if you're not celebrating, I hope you have a lovely time before the end of the year! I know, I'm technically a bit early, but I wanted to get this out before I visit my parents for Christmas. This is my Christmas gift to you, for being such wonderful mutuals and followers ❤️

More screenshots, info + download link under the cut!

So what do you get?

The Christmas House is a 40x30 lot best placed in Henford-on-Bagley (14 Nettle Lane lot) or somewhere else if you feel like it. The lot is set as a residential lot. It has one large living room, a dining room, a kitchen and a study on the 1st floor. The kitchen is the only room that I couldn’t resist partly furnishing. On the 2nd floor, there are at least 2 rooms meant as bedrooms, one with an ensuite. There's a garage in front of the lot that is pretty substantial and the garden has 2 gates beside the main one (yes, I also added terrain paint so it'll look good in the other seasons as well).

Uses items from the following packs: looks best with almost all packs. But a tip: take a look at the build in the gallery and click on the packs to see the items I used from that pack, it might also look good with fewer packs.

Download: google drive (240mb)

-> cc is included btw. I'm still using DX9, so you might have to do a batch fix if you're already using DX11.

-> Update (22.12.2024): I forgot to add a door to the bedroom on the 2nd floor, I'm sorry! I think the 1-tile door from Felix' grove set fits perfectly if you're not sure what to use!

TOU: Please don’t claim as your own or put behind paywalls etc. If you find any issues please let me know + tag me if you’ll use the building, I’d love to see it in your games.

If you like what I do and want to show your appreciation, I have a ko-fi!

Here's to a New Year where we actually communicate 🥂

[lavendervirgos]

I love the duality of my personality. Independent, strong, having a career, trying my best. But at the same time I’m so fucking submissive when my partner treats me right. Like anything you say, my good sir.

Ya'll want to know the funniest shit?

I'm researching the era when Alastor was alive right now to get a better idea of both his character, the life he lived before Hell, and to hash out a backstory for him.

And so, apparently, Alastor lived through the Prohibition (which was basically the United States government illegalizing the manufacture, transportation, and sale of alcohol because they thought it was the cause of a lot of domestic violence and child abandonment).

Alastor canonically died in 1933.

Do you know how long the Prohibition lasted?

From 1920-1933.

ALASTOR LITERALLY DIED THE SAME YEAR ALCOHOL BECAME LEGAL AGAIN. CAN YOU IMAGINE HOW BITTER HE MUST'VE BEEN?

The Prohibition officially ended on December 5, 1933, and now my headcanon is that Alastor died December 6, 1933. Literally the day after he could legally drink all the booze he wanted.

I am learning a LOT about New Orleans and the era Alastor lived through (including the gay community in the city at the time) which has been a lot of fun, and I just wanted to share that tidbit because it is so fucking funny to me.
