Some tips for those of you who are protesting just to stay safe. Please remember to cover all of your tattoos, piercings, and really any recognizable features you may have. Turn your location off so no one can track you and have atleast two written emergency contacts.

If the police begin utalizing tear gas use a combinatio of 3 teaspoons of baking soda for every 8.5 ounces of water.

For pepper spray use water to flush your eyes and dawn dish soap and water to help wash your face and skin.

For either of these GO HOME WASH OFF AND CHANGE YOUR CLOTHES as soon as you are able to get out. If you have respiratory issues bring an inhaler or whatever medication you need to assist you.

***edit: please feel free to add more tips and make sure to read the comments for helpful additions and if you know the artist who made these panels please let me know so I can properly credit!

***edit part 2: I’m blocking everyone who is making negative comments. I made this post so that people have a thread of safety tips readily available for them and fight for justice. I will not stand for your racist attitudes.

Don't put anything but water in anyone's eyes for pepper spray. Not milk. Not antacid. Pepper spray is not an acid and a base will not neutralize it. Nothing will neutralize it. You're not trying to neutralize it; you're trying to remove it. That is how an eye flush works. Just flush it out, away from the nose. It'll still hurt for a while even after it's flushed out.

Spray it from a sports bottle, like cyclists use. A nice wide stream will prevent too much concentration of force that could hurt they eye. Don't use a spray bottle. If you poke a hole in a regular bottle cap, try to make sure it's large enough for a good stream of water to push the pepper spray out of the eye.

The eyes will be squeezed shut reflexively. Don't jam your fingers into someone's eyes to open them. Instead, once you have made sure they're not wearing contacts, press your thumb against the lower edge of the browbone aka the top edge of the eye socket, above the eye, and roll your thumb to pull the eyelid up. (If they are wearing contacts, they have to take them out and throw them away. If they can't, then just guide them to safety but do not flush the eyes and do not attempt to remove the contacts yourself.)

Putting antacids, milk, etc into eyes can cause infection, trigger allergies, or scratch the cornea. Use water. It doesn't matter whether it's saline. It doesn't have to be sterile, as long as it's clean enough that it could be used as drinking water.

A gulper eel mermaid? (Note gulper eels are terrifying deep sea xenomorph fish and should not be looked up on google images past bedtime)

they can also puff up their cheeks(?) and the end result is them looking super grumpy hahah

Sorry to make another gofundme but my landlord is selling this property & I've been served my 2 months notice.

As a poor dyke with no savings stuck on welfare I'm at risk of homelessness

any chance you'd be willing to show what your stardew farm looks like? i'm super curious, but if not no worries!

oH haha here you go :0 I haven't played in a hot minute (actually can't remember the last time I played?)

I usually tend to make my farms more function versus looking nice haha

after playing stardew for 1200+ hours and coral island for 100+ I wish more games with romanceable characters have the option where you dON'T date/marry them but you can invite them to become roommates/buds with you in your house (like in stardew where you become roommates with krobus :'D)

hi! I don't really know if you can awnser this, but I really like fish.... but I don't know anything about them. I want to learn about them and stuff, but it seems so overwhelming!! do you have a starting point or any tips? tysm!!!!

hello fellow fish enjoyer :0 and honestly seeing a fish you like/ are curious about and researching about it (videos, articles, wiki, etc) is a good way to start!

this wiki article is another possible route/starting point I guess if you want more background; there's a few sections that talk about the different groups of fish/sea creatures (like are you interested in invertebrates or fish only, saltwater or freshwater, deep sea or coral reef fish, etc haha)

there's also museums and aquariums if you have access to them! aquarium websites will also usually have a section with what animals they have and little info blurbs about them.

blue planet 1 + 2 documentary series is also a neat watch/start as well if you don't feel like reading a lot at first!

(..actually thinking about it blue planet might've reinforced or started my deep sea fish obsession haha when I first saw it as a kid)
