Screen shots to dodge the paywall?

Once finished, it should look very similar to a life jacket, with the legs cast over your neck and the waist of the pants, below your chest, to raise you from the water and save you from struggling.

This should staggeringly increase your odds of rescue by hours, should any hope exist. 7/?

You will catch this air into your pants by doing a “catching” motion over the water with the large end. By dropping the waist-side into the water, it will force the air you’ve captured into the pinch of your pants legs.

Fill as necessary, and leave room to tie up the waist at your goal volume. 6/?

Conceptually, imagine you’re replacing a trash bag into a trash can.

The plastic is sticking to itself but you want it to have air flow and open up. This is what we are doing with the large end of our pants. We are now opening the pant legs by “catching air” into the pants. 5/?

Tie the ends of your pant legs into a knot. It may be easiest to just tie one to the other and call it a day — all you need is a pinch to prevent air flow from escaping the leg cavities.

Once achieved, we get to the tricky but necessary part. The top end of your pants. 4/?

As possible, spend time on your back, floating by keeping air in your chest and decompressing slowly.

Here’s where the survival tool comes in.

Make sure your pants are sufficiently soaked. This only works if the water creates a seal of pressure across your pants, preventing air flow in or out. 3/?

Okay, so you’re over board. Depending on the size of the ship, it could take 40 minutes for it to spin around and come back for you, assuming they saw you go down at all.

Don’t panic, but you’re going to want to begin conserving your energy immediately. This has become a battle of attrition. 2/?

There’s this niche fucking skill that’s invariably useless unless you plan on spending time at sea. I think it’s still valuable, both as a discipline but also conceptually, and it makes a cool party trick.

How-to: Turn your pants into a flotation device. 1/?

She knows. This is the game she plays, and how she stays in control of one of the highest density population centers in the world.

A wall underpass outside a public park with a rail way between them. Green text is varying capitalization is sprayed across the wall. “The only way you’ll get your freedom is by letting your enemy know you’ll do whatever it takes!” As well as an anarchist circle “a” and the acronym, “A C A B.”

Historically, the staff will abandon it down to a skeleton crew. Prisoners will be forced to deal with flooding & impotable water sources. Maybe three personnel officers will remain behind with the keys to everything but yah, they just end up locked up, trying not to die in their cages per the norm.

If those captured by ICE have no right to a trial, then neither does ICE. Turn about is fair play. Sorry pigs!

It won’t stop them.

A concentration camp is a camp where they concentrate people. The legal show-trials of your local prisons are this, but with show trials. Modern prisons are materially no different in definition.

When most people think concentration camps, they mean “death camps.” This is what we actually see.

The trial is the cruelty we see them projecting every day. The punishment is their cruelty returned to them. Turn about being fair play, and all.

You’ve raised them well. Now crush them.

Gotta protect those tattoos~

Donate to family of man killed by ICE.

“Jaime was just a hard-working, innocent farmer. He has his wife and daughter waiting for him. He was chased by ICE agents, and we were told he fell 30ft. My uncle's life is in critical condition.”

He did not make it.

We've seen things escalate as a militarized raid hit a farm in California yesterday. The people's response was immediate: FUCK THAT.

If you're going out this weekend to add your voice to that chorus, be mindful to protect yourself and those around you. Don't talk to police and know when to STFU!

Dan Izzo @izzos.us Follow FYI - criticizing protest groups for advocating non-violence and peaceful advocacy is one of the clearest signs of "We are a law enforcement affiliated operation hoping to take action against you!" Someone behind this account is a fed.

funke @rffunke.bsky.social • 4h i have it on good authority that PCC is shot through with feds using the group to prevent Lib protests from building bridges to more confrontational and radical participants/ organizers People's

Julie Faenza @juliemfaenza.bsky.social Follow Guarantee you more than one person affiliated with People's City Council LA is an undercover cop or fed. No one with an ounce of sense or experience discourages peaceful advocacy or cooperation with authorities at mass protests. The ones who do have a hidden agenda.

Putting this back on the TL - from April when a bunch of liberals (led by big accounts) swarmed us for calling 50501 “liberal counterinsurgency.” A lot of fedjacketing.

A few months later, how does it all look? This is an important reminder about liberal pile-ons & what they’re really trying to do

2 of the copjacketers are lawyers lmfao pathetic

Dang, I hope no one takes their advice. Share the link so I know where to steer clear from.
