any white at a protest who tries to go against police and deliberately provoke a response from them is not to be trusted and does not have the safety of black and brown people in mind.
there is a good chance that they are police too. if anyone, especially a white dude, ever randomly gets your attention and conspiratorially tries to convince you to jump a police officer, then dude is a cop. They have been using this technique and script for at least 30 years.
Check their fucking shoes. They’re always too afraid that their little toesies will be hurt so they’ll usually still be rocking the exact same boots as the guys on the other side. This was what gave the cops away when they provoked riots in Toronto a while back.
@talesofalamia, remember when I pointed out the shoes of the two well-dressed informants near us?
Similar note: IME, unmarked cruisers have five distinguishing traits:
1. They’re one of the department-issue models. 2. They’re always white, black, or dark blue. 3. They always look like they just rolled out of a car wash. 4. Usually rocking restricted plates. 5. Most reliable if present but hardest to spot: Their mirrors are bulkier, to fit the light rigs in.
In Austin the under cover officer that tried to convince me to set a cop car on fire had a convincing fake beard.
Be careful out there and read up on common tactics used against protestors before going.
You can usually see the stealth lights if you look into the grill.
Besides the old obvious as fuck Crown Victoria, be suspicious of 2013+ Ford Taurus and Explorer, 2006+ Dodge Charger and Dakota, 06-13 Chevy Impala, 11+ Chevy Caprice and both the Tahoe and Suburban.
Look for oversize mirrors, plugs on the roof and/or A pillar, lights inside the grill, extraneous lights inside the headlight assembly, lights tucked up behind the rear view mirror, steel wheels with or without wheel covers, and plugs or short antennas on the trunk lid.
Reblogging this for two reasons: 1. So people who have reason to be afraid of the police (which is pretty much anyone with significant melanin) see it. 2. Uh, good writer reference for describing undercover cop cars…
Good, I’ve got your attention. I’ve heard about this net neutrality bullshit returning. I fought it when it started popping up a few years ago, and I’m going to fight it again. Guys, it’s BACK AGAIN and even worse theres a big chance it will END UP PASSING!
This could literally mean a shit ton of you wont be able to see me anymore if your provider decides that they want to regulate/censor, sayyy overly sexual content. You’ll also have to pay extra money to even use Tumblr!
Please guys, we defeated this shit once, we can do it again. They’re trying to do it now while people are distracted by the holidays and fucking Justice League. As of today, it seems as though there have only been 266,810 calls made to Congress. This is NOT good enough!! MILLIONS of people use the net, and if each one of them took 60 seconds to call and protect it, holy balls do you KNOW how much of a difference that would make??? But noooo, you’re busy streaming an ecchi anime that wont be available to you soon!!!!!
Heres a direct link to make a difference (theres also links to other sites of the same nature on here), and yes, YOU can make a fucking difference because this is YOUR internet at stake here. If you’re not going to make the call, share this and maybe SOMEONE fucking will!! This is important as shit and we cant afford to lose. Dec 14th is the deadline.
The truth is that Elijah loves as deeply and selfishly as Klaus
And he’s seen how destructive it can be
Which is why he tries to the point of desperation to keep it from you
Like Rebekah once said, Elijah is capable of being completely devoted to anyone except for himself
And because he wants you so much, he sees loving you as an entirely selfish act.
So needless to say he was reigning King of Denial for a very long time
A Very Long Time
Where Klaus can be demanding, vengeful, and downright mean, Elijah has a tendency to be cold
he sees it as keeping his composure, trying to keep his feelings for you apart from himself
which provokes you to absolute rage
because he might be able to just shut you out but you aren’t capable of doing the same to him
so the least he could do is have the courtesy to get angry at you when you do something stupid, to be anything other than polite
what you do not know is that Elijah Mikaelson believes himself to be capable of just about anything but shutting you out
Klaus trying to use you as a pawn to bend Elijah to his will
Elijah beating his ass
Once Elijah finally excepts his feelings for you (and I mean finally because I am talking years of denial before he even lets himself kiss you) he finds himself navigating the relationship as though he’s never been in one before
because loving like he loves you is an entirely new experience to him
Sometimes he smiles for no reason around you and its because he’s realized he doesn’t quite know how to conduct himself and that he’s almost nervous
it reminds him of the more human parts of himself that he thought were long gone
You tend to be snarky but other than that you’re really easygoing and don’t get caught up in the conflicts of New Orleans
He finds this bewildering and refreshing
You actually turn into something of a friend to Klaus
Elijah finds this even more bewildering
The cliche Perfect Man
candlelit dinners, walks in the park, puts his jacket around you when you’re cold etc.
You have an almost childish way of finding light in the darkest of situations and that comes to mean so much to the Mikaelson family that they’d do anything to protect it.
It also means that, regardless of the fact that you are dating the oldest living Mikaelson brother, the rest of the siblings try to protect and shelter you as if you were an older version of Hope
It drives you crazy
Telling Elijah he actually has to meet your parents
you know he will more than impress them, of course, which is why you mention it so casually
but then you see his eyes widen marginally
And he’s like “Well … er … what are they like?”
Because people in TVD and TO don’t?? really ever have functional? living? parents?
He starts making calls to set up elaborate dinner reservations and proper entertainment for the evening and you’re like ‘babe.’
You come from a lower middle class family and Elijah has them picked up by a driver and they’re like ?? Honey are you dating a senator??
It being a full-time job just to get him to lighten the hell up
you’re good at it though
sending him little gifts
or letters to brighten his day
Him always being gentle with you in everything he does because after the thing with his mother and the red door he’s uniquely aware of his destructive power
PDA
Elijah’s very private so pda is kept to a minimum
he likes kissing your hands and your arms??
little kisses to each of your knuckles individually
his hand on the small of your back
it slowly slides around your waist when he feels like you aren’t close enough
he spends a lot of time thinking you aren’t close enough
Once you’re in private though he’s very heated and passionate
He can do that thing where he just looks at you across a crowded room and you blush bc you can tell what he’s thinking
As Elijah’s SO and Klaus’ best friend, you’re one of the only ones trusted enough to watch Hope
Hayley doesn’t trust Klaus’ judgement of course but she trusts Elijah’s so you usually watch Hope when they’re unavailable

Elijah fell silent when you glared at him. He’d gone and
done something reckless to help Klaus and you’d thought he wouldn’t be coming
back, which had led to a long argument about helping Klaus when he returned.
It was like the world slowed as you stormed your way over to
him, gripping his face as you kissed him your pent up worry and anger pouring
through the kiss. Elijah’s hands found your waist as he deepened the kiss,
lifting you off your feet as he crossed your room.
Have you ever been listening to Rainymood and thought, “Yeah, this is good … but it would be nice if I could customize the sound more, or if there was a little more choice.
MyNoise is a customizable sounscape looper with so many options, even within each soundscape. So say, for instance, you really love rain sounds when you write or study or relax. Anything. I know I’m a big fan of rain sounds. They have a page for that.
But say you like really high, pattery rain, and LOTS of low thunder. Here’s where MyNoise really stands out: you can customize that. See those sliders with all the cute colors? That is your equalizer. You can adjust the levels based on what you want to hear more and less of. Here’s how it looks when you want high, pattery rain and low, rumbly thunder:
But say rain isn’t really your jam. Say you want something a little more ambient, a little more background noise-y. Something with people. Well, they have customizable coffee house chatter that even has the levels listed for things like “kitchen,” “babble,” and “table”:
Or say you miss the ocean.
Or say you miss your cat.
Or say you miss your spaceship.
Or say you miss the dungeon where you and your team of scalawag adventurers used to explore and face off against, say, dragons. In the dungeon.
This site is seriously so helpful, and those are just a fraction of every kind of sounscape the site has to offer. The best part is that if you want to layer it with music (for instance, I’ll layer a playlist + rain + coffee shop if the scene I’m writing takes place in a coffee shop), you can adjust the master volume, meaning all of your layers stay at their respective volumes, just louder or quieter.
