Transcript of Sandra Bland arrest video [8:40-15:25]
Cop: Ok, Ma’am. You ok?
SB: I’m waitin’ on you. This is your job. I’m waitin’ on you…
Cop: You seem very irritated.
SB: I am. I really am because I feel like what I’m getting a ticket for, I was getting out of your way. You were speeding up, tailing me, so I move over, and you stop me. So, yeah, I am a little irritated, but that doesn’t stop you from giving me a ticket.
Cop: Are you done?
SB: You asked me what was wrong and I told you. So now I’m done, yeah.
Cop: Ok. You mind putting out your cigarette, please?

SB: I don’t have to step out of my car.
Cop: Step out of the car. [Cop opens the car door] Step out.

SB: Right. Yeah. Let’s take this to court. [Sandra continues to walk toward the sidewalk.] Let’s do this for a failure to signal. Yep, for a failure to signal. [Sandra is led out of the view of the dashcam video.]

Cop: I’m giving you a lawful order. I will tell you-
SB: Why am I being arrested? Why can’t you tell me that part?
Cop: I’m giving you a lawful order. Turn around.
SB: Why will you not tell me what’s going on?

The face of regret.
Ooh! Ooh! can I tell you a little bit about this? No? Too bad! I’m going to tell you anyway.
What’s happening here is that our lovely speckled guy (or gal) on top is establishing or reasserting that he (or she) is the boss in this pair. What?! Bunnies have a dominance thing?! YES, YES THEY DO. They literally sit on the heads of other bunnies to say they’re boss. This behavior is common, especially in bonded pairs. So while that lil’ dude (or dudette) on the bottom looks like maybe this is not a great moment–IT’S TOTALLY OKAY.
What may be happening here is top bun is saying to the other one, “Nah, it’s cool. You don’t have to make decisions today. I’m Top Bun.” And bun who is being sat upon might be thinking, “Okay, yeah. That’s pretty sweet. I was having a hard time deciding between whether or not to eat carrots first or hay, but if you’re making decisions I’ll just eat whatever you’re not eating. Cool cool.”
Buns also do this with PEOPLE! My bun and I sometimes have a little back and forth about who’s boss. If I smush his head down gently (GENTLY) he generally calms right the f down and stops his shenanigans. Sometimes he’ll just come right on up and stick his head under my hand, not just asking for pets, but asking for a little head smush. “You’re boss right now, okay? Okay. cool.” Sometimes he chins my hand or leg or whatever (because he can’t really smush my head). This basically means, “Yeah, you’re my person. Also I’m probably boss so bring me stuff and praise my handsome self.”
Just as an FYI.
Bun on the bottom looks like might have been in need of the head smush he just received.
That is all.
Smush.

Anonymous asked: I used to really like you but your fuck all cis people post you made has really made me change my mind about you, I am cis and I would never dream of misgendering anyone, I believe in respect to everyone and everything, all sentient beings are equal, all deserve harm free life with no fear or hatred. And that is how I live my life, so being thrown into a mix with more ignorant people, I don't think is fair.
IT’S not fair to you? Like? Literally seeing angry posts on the internet is ALLLLL you have to deal with when it comes to be cis. Holy shit, do you not see out experiences? Have you ever been victim to violence solely on the grounds of you being cisgender? You don’t like being lumped in with a group? Are you not smart enough to comprehend that I do not in fact mean LITERALLY EVERY CIS PERSON?? Do you think I legitimately go around and talk shit on people for being cis in real life/outside of tumblr? HAS everything I have experienced, all of the gross rude invalidating shit, been from anyone, anyone at all, other than cis people? What do you think? Stop trying to invalidate oppressed and marginalized people’s anger. We know, we’re not stupid, that not every, single, cis person is horrible.

The Wow! signal.
A signal sequence that lasted for 72 seconds in 1977 but has never been seen again. The signal appeared to come from a globular cluster in the Sagittarius constellation, but to this day no definite answer for where the signal originated can be given.
- After numerous checks and re-checks, it’s been found to have definitely come from an extraterrestrial source.
- It was broadcast at 1420 MHz. This frequency isn’t used by Earth communications for science reasons. It’s a frequency which neutral hydrogen emits at in interstellar space and is useful in radio astronomy.
- Interestingly, emitting a strong signal at this frequency is a likely way to get someone’s attention if there’s anyone listening, because any other radio astronomers in the universe will definitely know of it and be making observations of it.
- That really is a very strong signal. Against the backgrounds, it looks to me like about 30 standard deviations (give or take).
- Actually, that globular cluster (M55) is just the closest object to the transmission’s source. It appeared to have come from a region of mostly empty space (though it’s worth remembering that distant red dwarfs or brown dwarfs could be too faint to be detectable).
- The astronomer who found this and scrawled “Wow!” on that printout was Jerry Ehman at the Big Ear radio telescope in Ohio. Credit where it’s due.
- Despite a lot of efforts, this kind of signal has only ever been recorded this one time. There’s a chance we may never know what it was.
- It is unlike any other kind of phenomenon ever observed in astronomy. The only logical scientific explanation is that it was one of two things: Either it was a completely unknown and incredibly rare astronomical phenomenon which modern astronomy is completely unaware of – or it was an intercepted alien transmission. There are no other possibilities.

If I Die In Police Custody…
In 2k15 America, Black people now have to proactively and publicly declare for the record that we, like anyone else, would neither lynch ourselves nor commit suicide while in police custody.
This is (apparently) necessary now because if we are caught being human and - even once - state that we were even momentarily sad or depressed, that single statement alone can and will be used against us by corporate media and the police to blame us for our own murders…at the hands of the police.
