#crowd safety

[nevershootamockingbird]

[ video description: a video showing safety tips for when people get crushed or stuck in a crowd. The safety advice for standing is to bend your legs, stand with your feet at the distance of your hips, and keep your arms up in front of you. The safety advice for if you fall and cannot immediately get up is to turn on your side, draw your legs partially towards your torso, curl your head down, and use your arms to protect your head and neck.  / end id ]

How to protect yourself during stampede

2000’s: Don’t believe a single thing you see on the internet, and don’t give out any of your information for safety

2020’s: It’s on the internet it must be true, btw here is a list of everything I hate or am afraid of, where I live and where I work

Yeah, so while I was on my "I'm going to read into Vanny/Vanessa as much as possible" journey, I noticed an odd quirk in her animations in how she moves. At first, I thought it reminded me of a ballerina, 'cause she's kinda tip-toeing, & she has this way of keeping her head & chest in one place as she moves, but I looked again & realized --

That's not ballet! She's doing a tight-rope act. Like, look at this one:

This is like standing up on the wooden boards before you do the actual tight-rope walking, & the ring leader is hyping you up as you do some fun movement for the crowds. &, then, these:

These are all instances where she walks with one foot directly in front of the other. In that third, she's doing the "woaaah" wiggly-ass balance movements & everything, as if she's swaying up at the top of the tent, even though she's down on solid ground.

Idk, I feel like the way her feet are placed isn't accurate (pretty sure they should be pointed left & right, not both forwards...) doesn't make this 100% correct, but I like it. It also connects back with her first SB teaser, wherein she's up in the rafters.

ugh. imogen could've summoned a reilora when they were appealing to the masses you know. even under the zone of truth imogen wouldn't be lying if she had twisted it to say that the "terrors" can be bent under her will and power. do you know how hopeful that display would've been for the room's- exandria's morale? do you know the amount of positive votes that alone would get bells hells?

but it will send the wrong message. it is never about reining or annihilating the ruidians. it's about imogen arriving at kreviris and saying how wonderful it would be if she's allowed to share the taloned highlands, her birthland, with them.

Exaltant Hope as in her hope was so enduring that it saves. Red Storm as in her bloodright, curse, and blessing. but the title was always meant to be read together: Exaltant Hope of the Red Storm. she is the red storm's hope. ruidus' and ruidians' and ruidusborns' and all the exandrian dreams dreamt on that ruddy surface.

it is imogen in whitestone, leaning against the door that shuts her out, saying things that look scary can be so beautiful if you give them a chance.

Overheard at robotics build session part five:

“It’s the iphone of military takeovers.”

“I love bearings that crunch, the sign of truly healthy bearings.”

“They’re crayons, you delinquents.”

“Safety isn’t as important as the wall of shame.”

“Here you go, if it’s a carcinogen do it outside.”

“A long time ago in the galaxy far far away that is robotics 2013…”

“What do you want from me, you foul creature?!!! I’m in hell!!! Hey, what do you put in for sine theta here?”

“I don’t know how it works, therefore it doesn’t exist.”

“Is that a reference to the hit natural sleep schedule, fuck you industrialization?”

“Worst case scenario only one of us dies. There’s not enough electricity in the world. I don’t fear electricity, electricity fears me. That’s why I’ve never been shocked more than three times in a day.”

“I went to the ER for stomach pains and left with a half a cast on my arm.”

On today’s agenda: how many safety violations can my team commit in one sitting

Don't really follow the band but I am going to get yelled at if I say the ghost phone ban from like an artist pov is a really good idea?

Like I get the accessibility stuff but I assume the band would still be putting out on content from the tour on official channels??

and maybe it because I have yelled at people at shows before for just ignore medical and other safety issues and not moving out of the way cause the were on their phones in their own worlds, and the phones are a big part of that problem.

Like to me the pros out way the cons.

[drenched-in-sunlight]

i like ghostflower (hell I draw fanarts for them) but I’ve decided I like the version of them in my head more and will just stay away from the fandom in general cuz I’ve seen some discussion and they just make me go “what on earth are y’all on” 💀💀💀💀

[etapereine]

on today's episode of bonkers fines:

julien bernard got fined for "damaging the reputation of the sport" for interacting with the crowd on his home roads - including his fan club and i think some of his family

I hadn't heard of the soda wax safety tools in CR video - looked it up and wasn't sure I wanted to spend 47min watching it myself. In brief, what's the beef?

some video essayist made a bunch of wildly out of pocket parasocial assumptions about the cast based on poorly cherrypicked interviews with them and with others who have played with them (eg: Erika Ishii) in order to claim they used specific safety tools rather than saying to themself "hmmm perhaps the cast's 'safety tools' are 'being friends who communicate with each other honestly and frequently' and I'm pulling this all out of my ass to push a really stupid agenda."

dogma didn't want to do a portrait but tup and kix made him… and there's only so many flashes he can take before it looks like war.

Since I watched a video about it I figured I’d share with y’all what I learned about making sure your eclipse glasses are legit (and how to make an eclipse viewer, Gravity Falls edition), even though it might be cloudy lol

1. Look for the ISO logo on the glasses and the code ISO 12312-2

2. Use a lightbulb to check it. Look at a lightbulb through them, if you can only see a very dim light from the filament, you should be okay. The fake ones you can still see with the glasses, the real ones it’s black unless looking at the sun/a light

3. Check the manufacturer to see if they are on this list

(This is the video I watched to learn this)

Extras:

-Use common sense, if you have kids make sure they know to be careful as well

-Read the directions on the glasses. Mine say don’t use to look at the sun for more than 3 minutes, I would say just use it to look for a few seconds cause that’s all you really need anyway

-If you have binoculars, they need separate covers for them that you use on the front end (totally don’t know this cause my brother almost burned a hole in a pair of glasses in 2017 cause he didn’t cover the front of the binoculars shhh)

If you don’t have glasses, you can make an eclipse viewer pretty easily! Honestly you could probably even just get a piece of aluminum foil or darker paper and poke a hole in it and it would work (I don’t think it’ll work with clouds though…who knows lol)

And of course cause I can…I’m just sharing these pages from the Gravity Falls book Mabel and Dipper’s Guide to Mystery and Nonstop Fun as the directions ✨

As an addendum to the travelling for Eras post I’d like to add that I feel like I offered a public service because I ended up acting as a translator between a French fan and a Brit because of the piss poor communication and security at the stadium and all info was being shared through the grapevine of fans in line lol

[aintgonnatakethis]

seeing a well-known (at least in transmasc spaces) transphobe in the s/g/u tags is ://////

like. get the fuck outta here. shoo.

open starter with: nestor royce location: the maidens ball

There was safety in a crowd, if you knew where to look for it. Nestor waded through the crowds, feeling mostly at ease- though he was unsure where to put his hand without a sword to rest it on. He’d almost made it to a table of food when he heard a voice that seemed to be directed towards him. Turning, he turned to see someone looking at him with expectant eyes. “What was that?” Now a bit bashful, he turned to look behind him, certain the comment had been meant for another. “Are you talking to me?”
