I don't let you hurt my planet, and I won't let you hurt my friends.

@adeptomega@meow.social (I find them wondrous in night light, though. Specters of the powers of man, but still humbling)

@adeptomega@meow.social Deeper into the woods it's pretty natural -- like the marsh and the grove. But they're also on hiking trails, and people come through.

On the trail itself there are these towering monstrous power lines that buzz. They are ... influencing more than I'd like to admit.

@Shotagonist@mastodon.social ...I am high.

And have been called "Mom" a lot.

@adeptomega@meow.social We've also declared one bench the throne of Baphomet in this area, I think? Well, at least, he has a seat.

@adeptomega@meow.social There's a grove, an old tree here (both not too far from each other), a little marsh area that's relatively private (relatively, especially in specific, slightly-muddy areas), and a bridge we consider homage to the spirits. But it's otherwise unassuming to most.

@adeptomega@meow.social I can show you a few things at my local BPA trail in Federal Way, but that sounds a bit out of the way?

@Shotagonist@mastodon.social OMG, I am NOT the ideal mother figure.

Buuuut, I kinda like the role a bit sometimes. We need more nurturers & big sis types, imo.

Dream, not of what you are, but what you want to be.

How I tend to play in Warframe (warning: slight unavoidable spoilers, but otherwise a regular ordinary survival mission. Of course, also, awarning for violence and not all that great player skill in navigating)

Didn't realize it would be recording the music I was playing, so keeping it unlisted.

Finally, stingballs. Stingball or stinger grenades are newer. They're sort of like smaller flash bangs, loaded with plastic-coated shot that's fired out in every direction. It's sort of like a less-lethal version of a claymore mine. If that sounds awful, it's because they are. In addition to the risks of flash bangs, they also cause rashes of small injures like bloody welts and bruises. They're particularly dangerous to the eyes.

First up is hand-thrown grenades. There are a lot of different types of less-lethal or "crowd control" grenades. The three popular types are currently flash bangs, gas and stingball/stinger. Flash bangs are literally a small explosive charge inside a shell that lets the sound/concussive force out, but doesn't produce shrapnel. Some are perforated plastic, some are metal that banana-peels out upon detonation.

It's another round of large protest events, so I'm going to do something I've done on :birdsite: in the past. A thread on police less-lethals, how to spot them and how cops use them. This is going to include a lot of imagery of weapons, and descriptions of how they can injure or kill someone.

You've probably seen flash bangs on TV. What they don't tell you is that they're some of the most dangerous less-lethals. People get burned by them pretty frequently in no-knock raids, and some can cause injuries bad enough to cost you a limb, which did happen during the NoDAPL protests. (The cops were cooking grenades off so they'd detonate earlier, and one destroyed a water protector's arm.)
