#cover and concealment

[prep4tomoro]

Develop a Personal Defense Strategy:

Along with our "normal" crime conditions, politicians increasingly declare 'sanctuary cities', weaken the Criminal Justice System and pass laws, ordinances, regulations, resolutions, policies, or other practices that obstruct immigration enforcement in favor of illegal immigrants. These actions have resulted in higher crime rates and restrictions on Police and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). When the hands of the Police are tied, who will protect us? Every morning, I turn on the television to get the news and weather forecast. I don't like hearing the "talking heads" and ridiculous interviews so I, usually, turn off the sound and read the ticker at the bottom of the screen. I always end up asking myself "why do people think they are safe?" The news is filled with tragedy in all forms. When I do listen to details and interviews, I'm amazed how naive people really are about the world around them. They live in environmentally unsafe and crime-ridden places, they visit places where governments have warned against visiting, they intentionally put themselves in risky situations and they are ignorant of what is going on around them. No wonder they become victims. Why, then, should they be shocked when something bad happens? My everyday life defends against events that could negatively impact my life. I have insurance. I reinforce my house with better locks & window/door board-up options. I have alarms, cameras, security lighting & self-protection. And I have backups if first lines of defense fail. Defending ourselves, family & home or business is a right and responsibility. Harden your living/work area. If firearms are included, stockpile ammunition. Consider joining/organizing a Neighborhood Watch group. Monitor, and participate in, government. Be aware of what's going on around you. Get better protected. I agree that we shouldn't stop living but we need to take off the rose-colored-glasses and the headphones and get our noses out of the our smartphones and be more aware of what is going on around us (Situational Awareness). Emergency Responders are "responders" not "preventers". So, stop being shocked and afraid and stop expecting others to keep you safe. Situational awareness and heeding warning signs are key to knowing your surroundings for a better understanding of circumstances and options that can reduce the risk of becoming a victim. It's your responsibility to be safe and no one else's.

Learn How to Stay Alive When You're In the Wrong Place at the Wrong Time and how to escape and evade threats.

Stay informed with the most accurate, truthful information you can find to be prepared for whatever is brewing in your community and the world.

Unchecked, government can turn our quiet, peaceful lives into a living hell. We The People MUST keep an eye on our elected officials. Voting is your voice in government. Vote, intelligently, at every opportunity. Stay informed. Communicate with your government representatives. Don't let them become "career politicians".

An overall defense strategy must include protection from non-persons as well as people. Knowing how, and planning, to defend against germs, virus and bacteria is essential in our everyday surroundings as well as the world where chemical and biological warfare are highly possible.

Know Your Neighborhood and Defend Yourself and Residence Against its Risks. Walk the neighborhood and become familiar with houses, neighbors, streets and their names, escape routes, security shelters, cover and pinch points, fire hydrants and swimming pools (for water sources), locations of emergency shelters, neighbors with items or services to barter with, areas where "undesireables" gather and anything else you can gather from your walk. Buddy-up with neighbors to create a neighborhood watch team.

Put everyday security measures in place (locks, alarms, security cameras, Security Lighting, etc.).

Be Forewarned of intruders on, or near, your property before they enter your home. Use perimeter alarms, guardian/alert animals, security (motion detection) lighting and cameras.

Learn How Burglars Target and Enter, What They Want, What Deters Them.

Does your family know what to do in case of fire, tornado, hurricane, home invasion, burglary or robbery? If not, putting some thought into making some emergency preps is an important step to saving lives. Make a plan, set up procedures, practice the plan.

Don't share your private life with the public (people you don't know) through social media and casual conversations.

Use decorative landscaping to hide your private residence and security measures from public eyes.

Prepare your residence for internal protection (safe areas and exits, safe room) against external threats like severe weather and home invasion.

Learn how to hide valuables and security measures in plain sight (camouflage).

Learn how to bullet-proof your house and person.

Learn to effectively defend yourself (hand-to-hand, weapons) AND determine to use them when needed. Keep a distance of more than 21 feet from a potential attacker. Learn tactics to avoid, prevent and diffuse to avoid conflict. Learn body language that may give indicators of a potential attack.

Keep Fire/Smoke/CO Detection operational

Know the signs of a suspicious letter or package (mail) and how to respond.

Teach children school safety/defense methods.

Maintain a gas mask and other Defense Equipment and Clothing for environmental and civil unrest threats.

Learn methods to keep personal information private online and on the premises.

Secure/protect important documents from water, fire, theft.

Learn about nuclear response and survival.

Learn travel safety outside the house.

Always keep a Basic Emergency Kit nearby.

Shut the fuck up and keep shooting, Carl.

The different book covers of Frozen novels

Jen Calonita's "Let It Go" aka "Conceal, Don't Feel"

The Russian book cover of Conceal, Don't Feel" (looks pretty, imo) Title translation: "Cold heart. Another story about Anna and Elsa"

Mari Mancusi's "Dangerous Secrets"

... and the different language versions.

Jen Calonita's and Mari Mancusi's "Polar Nights" The variant cover is fanmade (by HAEA1222 on X), the funny edit above was made by DisneyQueenElsa on Instagram.

This is the original edit by HAEA1222, which i find much better than the original. Was it once even planned in the original cover that way and then they decided to keep the sisters standing apart? When you flip the image of Anna in the final version and move it to her sister, she easily can hold her hand, without much editing. I love it.

Kamilla Benko's Forest of Shadows. In my opinion the first cover is much better because you don't see immediately the hidden Nattmara in the woods, only on a second or a third view. Do you see the eyes of the wolf besides the sisters? They're built by branches.

The Frozen Anthology, edited by Heather Knowles and Mari Mancusi, has only one book cover so far, the picture on the right only was preliminary (pls see my post before, where i've shown the original used for other merchandise).

Elizabeth Rudnick's "A Frozen Heart"

I couldn't find any other book covers for Jen Calonita's "Lost Legends - The Fixer Upper"

There's even a whole book series about one topic: The Northern Lights. Lego even made a little movie series about this story.

That's it for now and i hope i haven't missed one of the novels. Let's hope we'll get a bunch of new books for the sequels, Frozen III and IV.

Threat Awareness... face the door, know where the exits are and find places of cover/concealment BEFORE anything bad happens.

The amount of people I've had to block while going through the Joseph Quinn tag ever since #those photos dropped should break some kind of record honestly.

I’m sorry but none of the Cathy fancasts I’ve seen look mean enough

[vounoura]

are

they cannot

they cannot just be casually implying that the viper isn't just next in line to be imperial divine, but that he straight up wholeass is the imperial divine

there is NO reasonable way that works
