"H-hello?" he called in the cavernous darkness of the hall. "Is there anyone there?"
There was, fortunately, no reply, but there was some scrabbling up near the roof.
"We're closed, you know," he quavered. "But we're open again at seven in the morning for a range of stamps and a wonderful deal on mail to Pseudopolis." His voice slowed and his brow creased as he tried to remember everything Mr. Lipwig had told them earlier. "Remember, we may not be the fastest but we always get there. Why not write your old granny?"
"I ate my grandmother," growled the voice from high in the darkness. "I gnawed her bones."
Stanley coughed. He had not been trained in the art of salesmanship.
"Ah," he said. "Er...perhaps an aunt, then?"
Terry Pratchett, Going Postal

Government Oversight Brief: Anti-Militia Bill The Preventing Private Paramilitary Activity Act has been introduced by a U.S. Senator and U.S. Representative in an effort to limit and criminalize civilian militias. If passed the law would "hold individuals liable who directly engage in certain types of conduct, including intimidating state and local officials, interfering with government proceedings, pretending to be law enforcement, and violating people’s constitutional rights, while armed and acting as part of a private paramilitary organization". The lawmakers presenting the act say there are no federal laws against such militias as regulations have been left to the states. Writers of the act say "military organizations pose a threat not only to national security, but they also present a public safety problem that extends beyond any single state; for example, private paramilitary actors like the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers traveled across state lines on January 6th". A member of the U.S. House who introduced the bill claims that militias are "patrolling neighborhoods, impeding law enforcement and storming the U.S. Capitol, private paramilitary groups like the Oath Keepers, the Three Percenters and the Proud Boys are using political violence to intimidate our people and threaten democratic government and the rule of law". A private paramilitary organization is described as any group of 3 or more persons associating under a command structure for the purpose of functioning in public or training to function in public as a combat, combat support, law enforcement, or security serv­ices unit. The act would preempt state law if any "provi­sion of State law is inconsistent with any of the purposes of this chapter'. Lawmakers advised that the act would "provide tools necessary to deter and prevent paramilitary efforts" that were previously "protected by the First and Second Amendments". Supporters claim that the U.S. Constitution, which reads in part "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed" has been "falsely" applied and that such protections must be infringed

I decided to post it because I feel like many people need to see this:
The situation:
So Jenefermelio has posted art of other artists plus my art on tumblr. They put it on their own account and decided not to credit us.
Some of the artists, on tumblr, insta or any other media platform has reached out to the person who posted that and asked to credit them. But decided not to. Even report the account for copyright but refuse to do anything.
When you don’t credit your artists it becomes stealing. And it’s not oké to take somebody else work when they work hard on their art.
What to do:
Let’s spread awareness around that this is unacceptable and tag your artists when you post art of somebody

Before You Eat That…

Looking at the communist engineered famines in Soviet Russia or Maoist China, we can see the same elements forming today in the west.  The difference is that we have historic reference and the means to prevent it from happening again.  Make no mistake, there are psychopaths in leadership today that have no qualms whatsoever in using food or economic access as leverage against the people that oppose them.  We saw them try it during covid, and they are going to keep trying under the guise of climate change.
But really, these are only mechanisms for garnering popular acceptance of socialized resources.  “We’re all in this together…right?”  No, we’re not, and the notion of sacrifice for the greater good is a farce created by parasites trying to convince the host that the bloodletting and feeding is “moral” and necessary.  These parasites serve no purpose.  The collectivists serve no purpose.  There are numerous ways for the economy and society to function happily and successfully without them and their centralized agenda.

Mindset Part 3-Situational Awareness Part 1
This is where things get really interesting. This is for me the most useful and understandable subject about what we do. But problem is(Actually it is not a problem, it is what makes this valueable.)it is hard to apply. First of all, why i say it is easy to understand is because there are a lot of movies and tv shows that use situational awareness in the scenes, so when you watch them you understand. If you need example here is the first one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IjrWOZby8s8
Tumblr media
So, it is self-explanatory. But here is the summary: You look around, take as much as information you can, then realizing the changes and important informations. That means if you are in a cafe you have to be aware of the people around you and when they leave and when new people come in etc. You have to be aware of the staff and even their names.(If you hear or see.) You have to know who sits behind you and what he/she wears and if he/she came here with car and which car is his/her? You get the point. We finished the understanding part. Now how to apply? You can't go to a cafe and always look around you with your head spinning or always watching people while they are walking around. What you have to do is: Be in a "Relaxed Alert" condition and go with the flow. Like Bruce Lee said, "Be water, my friend." How do you get to "Relaxed Alert" condition? You have to want to be aware of your surroundings and always observe while you look away. You can't look away without purpose because you have to take as much as you can, so you have to turn every looking to observing and turning it to opportunity. Let's give example. You are talking with your friend, sitting across. Then he/she shows you something with his/her finger at the other end of cafe. While you are looking there, you just don't look at what he/she shows. You are observing everything you can. Now here is where the memory part comes. After your observation part, you need to remember what was there so that when you look again you can compare and be aware of the changes. Is the girl with blonde hair same girl that was sitting there or is it a new person? You have to compare and know what changed. Also in the Jason Bourne video, he knows licence plates because he uses mnemonics(that is a whole different subject for different posts)so he can hold these. Why would you need these? Because if you see 6 cars at the parking lot and if you see 8 people with car keys inside, you would know that at least 2 of them parked far away. Then you would be able to use that information and if you memorized the car models and if you know which key belongs to which car then that is where it all gets interesting. You could take this 8 people with you and know which car belongs to which person and which one parked car away etc. Now you see the importance.
Tumblr media
Obviously it is not only about observation and deduction, it is also about safety.(Look for other posts.) When you be aware of your environment, you know where is the danger and how you can avoid from it. You can see where the entrance and exit points and act on it. If a guy comes with gun from entrance, you would be able to escape easily because you already observed where the exit is. Or you could get close to him(if you are close to entrance and you see he is entering with his hand holding a gun)and counteract. You saved a lot of lifes, obviously yours too. I would like to go deeper about this subject more but it is becoming a long post so i want to keep going with an extra post for Situational Awareness. If you have any questions, ask so that i can reply them in the next post. For now that's all. See you later.

Situational awareness is a critical survival skill that can mean the difference between life and death in a wide range of dangerous situations. Whether you're lost in the wilderness, caught in a natural disaster, or facing a life-threatening situation, having a heightened sense of awareness can help you identify potential threats and take swift action to protect yourself. But let's be real, it's also a great excuse to be a paranoid, conspiracy theory-believing nutcase and make everyone around you uncomfortable.
In simple terms, situational awareness is the ability to be fully present in your environment and to accurately assess the potential risks and opportunities that it presents. It involves actively scanning your surroundings, paying attention to details, and processing information quickly to make informed decisions. Or in layman's terms, it's basically just looking around and being a nosy asshole.
One of the key elements of situational awareness is paying attention to your surroundings. This means taking the time to observe and analyze your environment, rather than simply rushing through it without really taking it in. Look for anything out of the ordinary, and be prepared to adapt to changes in your environment as they occur. And if you're feeling extra paranoid, you can even start making up potential threats in your head just for fun. "Oh no, that guy over there looks sketchy. He's probably going to kidnap me and sell me into slavery."
Another important aspect of situational awareness is being attuned to your own body's signals. Pay attention to your gut instincts and listen to your body's warning signs. If you feel uneasy or unsafe in a particular situation, trust your instincts and take steps to protect yourself. Or you know, you could just run away screaming and never look back. That works too.
One way to cultivate your situational awareness skills is through mindfulness practices, such as meditation and yoga. These practices can help you develop a heightened sense of awareness and attention to detail, which can be invaluable in a survival situation. Or if that's not your thing, you could always just mainline caffeine and jump at every little noise.
There are also a number of specific strategies you can use to improve your situational awareness in a survival situation. One of these is the "360-degree scan," in which you take a moment to look around and assess your surroundings from all angles. This can help you identify potential threats and opportunities, as well as familiarize yourself with your environment. Just try not to look too creepy while you're doing it.
Another useful strategy is to create a "mental map" of your surroundings, which can help you orient yourself and navigate your environment more effectively. As you move through your environment, make note of key landmarks, escape routes, and other important details that can help you stay safe. Or if you're feeling extra adventurous, you can just wing it and see where the wind takes you. (Disclaimer: this is not recommended and will probably end in you getting lost and eaten by a bear).
In addition to these strategies, it's also important to stay calm and focused in a survival situation. Panic can cloud your judgment and lead to poor decision-making, so take deep breaths and try to stay level-headed. Or you know, you could just embrace the chaos and go full-on insane. It's all up to you, really.
Ultimately, situational awareness is all about being present in the moment and paying attention to your surroundings. With practice, you can develop this critical survival skill and increase your chances of staying safe in a wide range of dangerous situations. Just don't forget to have a little fun with it along the way.

Government Oversight Brief: Vaccine Delivery via Mosquito BLUF: China developed mosquito carried vaccine delivery system; Florida, Texas, and EPA approved and has begun release of genetically modified mosquitoes. Chinese scientists have published research on a "mosquito-delivered vaccine: in the peer-reviewed journal "Nature Communications". Researchers harnessed mosquitoes to deliver re-engineered vaccines for animals by using a vector of the Chaoyang virus (CYV) vaccine to "replicate efficiently in mosquitoes and be secreted in saliva". The researchers infused the virus/vaccine in blood and allowed mosquitoes to feed from the pool of blood. They then allowed the mosquitoes to bite mice. The data shows the vaccine was successfully transferred to the mice from the mosquitoes. Researchers hope to mass produce the carrier-method to enable a global "mosquito-delivered vaccine for wildlife immunisation" however no analysis was conducted on how to avoid having a wild population of vaccine carrying mosquitoes from biting humans. The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) in 2021 approved an inhalable COVID-19 vaccine delivered via fine mist to enable an alternative form of vaccine delivery. The CCP has also signaled approval of a mosquito-delivery vaccine system for zooatonic viruses. Separately, a genetically engineered mosquito (OX5034) was approved by the Environmental Protection Agency in 2021 and officially granted the permits for release of at least 750 million OX5034 mosquitoes in Texas and Florida. In 2022, the EPA approved an additional release of 2.4 billion modified mosquitoes in Florida. Local or state government agencies in both TX and FL also approved the pilot programs. The stated purpose of releasing modified mosquitoes into the population of the two states is to test for a...(CLASSIFIED, see full Briefing at www.graymanbriefing.com)

To be honest, I don't care if said person blocks/harasses me after this post because I'm not super active but I just want to make light of the situation. And if she sees this, then hi. Go ahead. Take a screenshot and post it to your Twitter and get your "friends" to harass me. Anything you try to say will be wrong because the evidence doesn't match up to your claims. I don't care anymore. This blog is dead as hell because I rarely use it. I don't have any other social media.
I'm only making this post for a heads-up warning because I hate it when people can't let things go. This literally has been going on since October of 2022 and it needs to stop already. This all is unnecessary and stupid. I want my friend to feel safe online, not to be harassed by some adult who can't let some small issue go. It's just super ridiculous to be completely honest.
--------------------------------------------------
[EVIDENCE WILL BE INCLUDED BY MY FRIEND. THE EVIDENCE IS REAL AND THE TRUE RECIPTS ARE HERE!! Some screenshots are from my friend, and most screenshots are from me]
!!THE PERSON I'M TALKING ABOUT GOES BY SALLYEXE AND USES SHE/HER PRONOUNS SO PLEASE RESPECT IT!!
**BLOCK AND REPORT, DO NOT HARASS
Her Twitter profile is changed up now, as these are old screenshots, but these are the same person/gen
sallyexe (she/her) - text referring to her
my friend (they/them) - text referring to them
--------------------------------------------------
So, lately I've been trying to help a friend [unnamed for their own privacy] and someone else, who goes by the @ of @/sallyexe097. They have been in unnecessary conflict for months now and it's got to end.
My unnamed friend is a minor, and the sallyexe person is an adult mind you. This is important. It may not seem like it, but it is. It's kind of a big deal when an adult harasses a minor on the internet. That can't slide easily.
Yes this is only my friend's side of the story, but they are telling the truth and the evidence will help with it. It started in early(? February when these two interacted. My friend wanted to clear up some drama between the two that was occurring. Seen below:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
My friend was understanding and eager to pass over it, with obvious shown signs of no aggression. So..I don't know what you mean by "they were aggressive". :/ My friend and her continued the conversation, and it ultimately lead in sallyexe being aggressive and harassing them:
Tumblr media
For context about this, they were arguing about a ship fight. She ships one thing and my friend ships something else. Sallyexe doesn't agree with it and constantly harasses my friend and calls them names.
They even blocked each other on Twitter after that exchange. I have proof that they did in fact block each other:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Though, there are instances where she replies to my friends' private anger posts about her???
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
The only conclusion would be that she is spying on my friend with another Twitter account, which is not known.
This is just very weird and unnecessary. Spying on my friend isn't going to make you seem cool or anything, it just makes you look weird. Not only that, but sallyexe has gone full lengths to guilttrip people to believe her, even threatening su!c!d3 at one point:
Tumblr media
After all this happened, I personally talked to sallyexe myself on Tumblr to try and get the situation to be dealt with. And I did succeed because she did end up apologizing to my friend on Tumblr:
Tumblr media
However, this wouldn't be the end of it because sallyexe began posting about my friend again just a week ago for no seemingly real reason. My friend has moved on so why can't she? It's fucking ridiculous and I'm tired of it.
I've included her Twitter and Tumblr (known) accounts and here are her tiktok accounts:
first one
second one
Anyway, if you see this post and read through the whole thing, please reblog and spread it to get awareness to it. I need my friend to feel safe and for this person to stop. Thank you.
[don't mind all the sonic tags, it's just the fandom where it happened, and i at least want to get people to see this post]
