Kendinizi koruyabilmeniz için güvenlik ipuçları

Genel

dinleme ve içgüdülerinize güvenme alıştırması yapın. Aptalca bir şüphe gibi görünse bile, eğer senin güvenliğinle ilgiliyse, derinden düşün. garip hisler? durumdan kaçının. ne kadar çabuk olursa o kadar iyi. sebebini daha sonra öğrenebilirsiniz.

çevrenizden haberdar olmak. mevcut ve uyanık olun. etrafa bakın, çevrenizde kim var tarayın. telefonunuzdan uzak durun, başınızı dik tutun, kulaklığınızı iki kulağınızda da yüksek sesle tutmayın.

konumunuzu asla gerçek zamanlı olarak yayınlamayın. Bulunduğunuz yerden ayrıldıktan sonra, nerede yayınlandığınızı yayınlamak için birkaç saat hatta bir gün bekleyebileceğinize eminim. her şeyin yayınlanması gerekmediğini unutmayın. hayatınız 24 saat süren bir hikaye gönderisinden daha önemli.

Ev güvenliği

akıllı kameralara/kapı zillerine, telefonunuza bağlanan ve sizi her an her şeyden haberdar eden hareket sensörlü ışıklara yatırım yapın. rutin bir güncelleme yapın/kontrol edin. teknoloji sayesinde, bir şeyin ne zaman aniden bir güncellemeye veya izne ihtiyaç duyduğunu asla bilemezsiniz.

kapı ve pencerelerinizi eşik alarmları, portatif kapı kilitleri ve alüminyum sürgülü kapı ve pencere kilitleri ile çift kilitleyin.

Evinizdeki manzaraları sosyal medyada paylaşmayın.

Tahmin edilebilir ve kolayca izlenebilir olmaktan kaçınmak için rutininizi ve rotalarınızı arada bir değiştirin. farklı dönüşler yapın, gps sizinle ilgilenecektir.

Yürüyüş ipuçları

güvenle yürü. yürüdüğünüz bölgede büyümüş gibi davranın. Çenenizi yukarı kaldırın, uzun ve kendinden emin adımlar atın.

takılarını tak. kolunuzun altında veya çantanızda bileklikler, gömleğinizin arkasında kolye.

yine, telefonunuzdan uzak durun, başınızı dik tutun, kulaklıkla dolaşmayın.

kaldırım kuralı. kaldırımın iç kısmından, binalara daha yakın yürüyün, böylece kolayca sokağa itilip sürüklenmeyesiniz.

yabancılarla konuşmak fiziksel mesafenizi koruyun. kollarınızı kavuşturmayın. görünüşlerine, en önemlisi de ayakkabılarına ve göz rengine dikkat edin. ilk önce göz temasını kesen kişi olmayın - tutun. kişisel bilgilerinizi vermeyin, adınızı bile. takip edildiğinizi düşünüyorsanız, yakındaki bir mağazaya gidin ve oradan yardım isteyin; sizi hedef rotanıza geri götürmek için yardım çağırın.

biri sizi kolundan tutarsa, çekmeyin. bunun yerine, hızlı bir hareketle elinizi yukarı kaldırın, kolunuzu yana, baş parmaklarına doğru döndürün ve geri çekin. hemen şimdi kendi üzerinde pratik yapabilir ve başparmağa doğru manevra yapan birini tutmanın çok daha zor olduğunu görebilirsin.

A reminder for those of us with cats at Easter that lilies of ANY kind are BAD for cats. Some species such as Calla, Peace and Peruvian do not cause kidney damage or death like Easter and daylilies, but they can still cause irritation and gastrointestinal issues if ingested...

You know what I think a lot of people don’t realize about grooming is that, the person will almost always start pushing your boundaries in little, non-sexual ways.

For example, one big thing a person who groomed me did was joke about killing and eating my dog. She knew I love my dogs like they’re my children, and I’d told her those “jokes” made me uncomfortable. But she kept doing it. The same joke over and over again; it wasn’t even funny (“I believe all god’s creatures have a place…next to the potatoes”). At first I pushed back, but then it got to a point where I got tired of resisting and treated like I was stiff and couldn’t take a joke. So I relented on that boundary.

That alone might seem insignificant and dumb, but with groomers, as soon as they break down one boundary they’ll immediately start trying to break down another. And each little one they break, the more they get you used to letting them violate you to the point where you’re afraid to speak up against the bigger things.

So especially if you’re a younger person on the internet, never ignore when someone is making you uncomfortable especially if they’re much older. Even if it seems like a silly, insignificant thing. They know what they’re doing, and it’s important to stay safe.

Reminder that even if your asexuality or aromantism could have a "different source", if these terms help you feel safe and advercate you needs you can still use them!

Maybe you are a "late bloomer" or "too young to know" but maybe the identity means you can explain yourself better, you can find others who feel the same, you can take things at your own pace. That's OK.

Maybe you're on medication, maybe you have some sort of neurodivergence that is affecting things. If these terms help explain your emotions or how you are "lacking" a certain thing, that's OK.

Maybe you're trans and you're not sure how your dysphoria effects it. Identities and feelings are confusing. That's OK.

Cause for every person who realises the terms no longer fit, there's someone who wishes they used the terms earlier. If you have shared experience, if the terms help you define yourself and protect yourself or hell just give a small sense of belonging that's OK.

Shen Yuan is convinced Bingge mastered Xin Mo, but I'm not so sure. I don't think Bingge is the master in that relationship.

Bingge "controls" Xin Mo without being consumed or facing backlash, but it could be argued the sword just sees no reason to consume him. Bingge is a bloodthristy, conquering emperor who beds countless women. Xin Mo gets all the blood, power and sex it could ever want. Why kill its free meal ticket?

Bingge believes his goals align with Xin Mo's, but do they? Maybe it feels like they do, but how much of his desires are his, and how many are driven by his sword? How long has it been since he relied on his own strength and skill alone, rather than Xin Mo's powers? Has Xin Mo perhaps convinced him he wouldn't be able to keep all that he has if he didn't rely on his sword? How convenient.

Bingge is never truly content, after all. Never sated. He's basically a slave to the desire for more, more blood, more power. Of course this all stems from his own desire for security, but I wonder how easy it was for Xin Mo to exploit that deep seated fear and insecurity to convince Bingge that he NEEDS Xin Mo.

Xin Mo is a parasite with a very convenient host.

Loumand is not and CANNOT be a one to one reimagining of their previous roles as sex slave and brothel owner. louis does not have an equivalent power over armand as he did on emotionally, socially, and/or financially vulnerable women in nola, and armand’s submission is not reflective of a real powerlessness under louis

If we want to look for a marius parallel, it wouldnt be in louis who responds to armands initiations and engages in a consensual dom/sub dynamic. if we want to look for a marius parallel, who is in the predatory position here? Who is controlling information and its access? Who is the one exploiting an experience, knowledge, and vampiric power gap to get the love he wants?

But isn’t that the point? That their relationship is a shallow imitation, a re-enactment of roles which comforts both parties for their familiarity and essentialness while they were mortal? Neither of them were ready to grapple with their own identity in a meaningful way and these roles are something safe to hold onto, which may or may not be productive or accurate but they very well know the performance of this position and it is Still and it is Safe and who cares about absolute truths when you’re one wrong thought away from killing yourself

When hannah says their room is like a brothel and when assad says they revert back to older versions of themselves I think it speaks much more on loumands fear and denial to question and understand themselves than it does being a sexploitation revival. Louis put on the masculine, capitalist decision maker persona to survive his racist heteronormative life, and armand embodied the selfless submissive to survive his oppressive life.

Their brothel bedroom is a reinforcement that they have yet to fully actualize their self identity outside the context of the systems of abuse and oppression they have endured. They are vampires, armand transcends the societies that shaped him but hes still living subject and response to it. Both unwilling to be active players in their own lives, still riddled with the weight of their history that dictate them but will not be unpacked

At the end of the day loumand were two deeply traumatized immortals still struggling to come to terms with the enormity of their self so they repeated the behaviours that made them survive. They cannot stomach themselves so they will keep this up, and together they kept on surviving. Until Louis was ready to do the second interview, ready to reflect, to accept himself and move beyond survival.

As overdoses in Edmonton reach record-high levels, users can visit a free drug-checking site that will analyze substances to determine what is in them and whether they've been cut with high-potency materials.

The Spectrum drug testing program, which operates Monday and Friday afternoons at 105th Street and Jasper Avenue, uses a Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectrometer to analyze stimulants, including cocaine, methamphetamine and MDMA, and opioids like heroin and fentanyl.

Spectrum, launched last week by the Queer and Trans Health Collective, is the first physical site in Edmonton to offer a drug-checking service. 

"We know that people are going to use substances whether we like it or not," Jess Murray, the collective's harm-reduction manager, said in an interview last week.

"We just want to make sure that if they are using substances, they know what's in the substances, they're able to get supplies for their substances to use them more safely."

In the article, when Kasurinen mentions that irl people like Curly can and do cover up perpetrators- do you think that implies Curly would have kept Anya’s SA under wraps?

Curly is such a conflicting character AHHHHH. He’s my favorite but makes me very uncomfortable sometimes. He’s ignorant and mitigated at a very wrong time, but I hoped he at least had the decency to let the story slip out post-delivery. Jimmy doesn’t wanna face responsibility but does Curly not want him to either?

I think what people are missing about that line is the intentions part. What is specifically said is “good intentioned downplaying” and the belief he was taking the right steps. It’s phrasing is important: the discussion of escalation and the idea that it’s not intentionally malicious are idea you have to keep in mind when taking to the problems at play with Curly’s choices.

I do not think he was gonna cover up the assault but his actions during the events of the pre-crash sections were likely fueled by ignorance, disbelief and his own issues. His inability to outwardly address it lead to it being downplayed and covered to an extent but it’s not something he didn’t want to deal with more accurately he didn’t know how to approach and when he tried to came at it from the completely wrong angles.

When people see these they conflate them with him being willfully ignorant, refusing to believe Anya and self absorbed. It’s such a one note bad faith interpretation imo that it doesn’t acknowledge that in a lot of cases people genuinely think they are doing good in the mean time. Good intentions don’t mean he did good, or didn’t cause harm but the point is that he never intended to to Anya. The sad fact is he was trying to find a happy ending for both parties because he still thought he could. He thought he was doing something where everyone would win and in the end it was a total loss.

I say it again about Curly but so many people take the dead pixel conversation as a refusal to look closer when it’s more like a comment to on rose tinted glasses and Curly personally. Him moving on is not his saying “it doesn’t matter” but saying he still wants to try and apprixate the parts that aren’t bad. It’s a misguided and unintentionally dismissive comfort toward Anya. You can see she realizes that he doesn’t really understand but it’s not from a lack or trying. It’s a lack of being ready. Doesn’t excuse when she becomes more direct with him but it helps us with his insights.

The issue with Curly and Jimmy and responsibility is that Curly takes too much responsibility and blame for many things that aren’t his responsibility and/or fault. I think tow reflective scenes are right before the crash and in the cockpit when he blames himself for Anya not getting a psych evaluation and letting Jimmy blame him for his actions. It is not his responsibility to provide that eval to Anya, that is the companies negligence to allow one of their employees to go with out one. You can argue he could’ve fought for it, but you can also argue that P.E held that standard in the first place and you can’t patch cracks you don’t see. With Jimmy, none of what he did is Curly’s fault outside not punishing him for the act after. Even then punishment is vague but he should’ve taken more precautions. He did not force Jimmy to crash the ship, to rape Anya, to lash out and misconstrue his words. His responsibility is the crew not their individual actions and that’s a very hard point to discuss.

When Daisuke gets caught in the foam he is upset because that action got him hurt or could’ve damaged something vital to them. He is not responsible for the action but he is in ensuring Daisuke, under Swansea, doesn’t cause anymore damage to himself or the ship. That’s what I’m trying to get at despite the difficulty. Jimmy’s speech is gaslighting, conditioning to make Curly believe it’s all his fault: The firing, the assault, the tragedy of it all when those all link back to things that were over his head or actions/choices of others.

There’s a lot of debates on what Curly as the individual was at fault for, should be blamed for and what where outside factors. I personally think in the end he wanted Jimmy to take responsibility but he himself can’t tell what’s his responsibility to take vs Jimmy’s. A key point of this is when Curly is about to run in and starting saying what he should’ve done, or could’ve before screaming at Jimmy and asking what did he do. He realizes all too late what is his responsibility and what isn’t in terms of their dynamics and the blame/guilt he takes on for Jimmy but as I said again it’s too late.

If he was gonna cover up the assault than Jimmy would’ve never felt the need to do something so drastic. He would’ve known Curly would’ve helped and I think his uncertainty of that was a driving force but also to give us that uncertainty in terms of what Curly would’ve actually done.

He makes us all uncomfortable and conflicted because we all want to say we’d do better, we’d know better but in the end we could all make the same mistakes thinking that our good intentions were enough. He’s fun to roll around in your head and this specific topic gets a lot of unsettling things rolling.

Hazardous Waste Disposal Failures

Proper disposal of all waste is important for health, human safety, environmental safety, and a host of other factors - but hazardous and toxic waste especially need to be treated with care. Throughout history, there are numerous examples of improper disposal of toxic wastes, many of which such examples were legal at the time and led to changing atmospheres - or governmental policies - on the disposal and treatment of similar wastes.

Two such examples of improper hazardous waste disposal include what happened in Love Canal, New York, in the United States, and in Minamata Bay in Kumamoto Prefecture, Japan.

In Love Canal, over decades, the chemical byproducts of industrial manufacturing were dumped by Hooker Chemical Company. In 1953, the dumping stopped and the land was sold for a single dollar. It wasn't until the late 1970s that residents concerns about health issues, odors, and chemicals oozing from the ground finally began to be addressed.

In Minamata Bay, the dumping was largely of one specific chemical: methylmercury. The dumping occurred into the bay during the 1950s and 1960s, with the company responsible, the Chisso Corporation, initially denying any dumping. Because of the high seafood diet of local residents, the resulting mercury poisoning was prevalent enough to get its own name, Minamata disease.
