It's only a man trap if it's from the Isle of Mann. Otherwise it's just a sparkling vestibule.

Mantrap vs Sallyport vs Interlock... Which Term is the Proper Term?
Mantrap vs Sallyport vs Interlock... Which Term is the Proper Term? YouTube video by DeviantOllam

My video this week asks people a question about terminology and seeks to untangle certain words that are often applied haphazardly and potentially incorrectly in our industry.

Have you ever heard any of these terms being used? (Possibly the wrong way?) 🚪🤔

A derpy looking white guy stands next to a room marked "cyber science war room"

He is nearly bald and has very close-cropped hair... because growing at any longer than that would just sort of look pathetic at this point.  😄

Fun fact: if your life is sufficiently stressful, you can lose enough hair that your noggin almost becomes regulation without even going to the barber.

They beat a blind refugee who speaks no English for failing to obey police commands he could not understand. Then instead of apologizing, they charged him with possession of a “weapon”—HIS WALKING STICK. Then they dumped him miles from home without notifying anyone, after which he was found dead.

We don't yet know. I still have faith that the courts would never allow such a thing, but we do indeed live in unprecedented times.

Thankfully, she is now completely attached to the Kingdom lawsuit which gives her greater protection than some other folk. She and the other named participants there are protected by certain injunctions and ongoing litigation.

But I'll feel better once I have spoken to her in person again.

It's important to recognize that even before this latest odious attempt at trans genocide by the administration, the conditions inside the BOP were already awful.

Staff were always misgendering inmates and threatening them with detransition, etc. Kara had her HRT doses reduced and reduced.

To everyone who's been asking: yes, I'm aware of this. Yes, I try to pass all of your words of support and care along to Kara whenever I can.

Unfortunately she has been without phone and email privileges for a few weeks.

Her lawyers have tried to get in touch with her and will update me.

I'm surprised airports don't handle it like steak sandwich restaurants in Philadelphia: Not ready to engage in the transaction IMMEDIATELY upon presenting yourself at the counter?... Instantly go to the back of the line. Sort yourself out, try again later.

There's a chance I'm back in town there for a day this coming week.

Plan on more attention, hah. 😄

Some day we'll all regret this & we'll hold hearings & rend garments & pledge "never again" & we'll be just as full of shit as we were last time.

DHS rewrote their press release from this morning to remove the mention of TSA Precheck being suspended

Note the change in the second item on the list

My trauma shears tend to be like my sunglasses: cheap and easily re-orderable.

I don't need those kinds that can fold up or that can cut a penny in half... I like to have ones that if TSA or some sort of security person doesn't understand the rules and confiscates them, I don't have to care much.

The surfboard thing is probably not something that has happened in reality, I was just looking for one other item that's sometimes on a leash ☺️

And, yeah, having trauma shears can be useful for a lot of things.

A photo of a pink curly haired woman wearing a "Kate Barr for Congress" green hooded sweatshirt with a pink picture of the candidate on it while walking in what looks like a field with a to-go coffee cup in her hand and a big smile on her face.

North Carolinians: If you're in the 14th district and an independent or republican voter, vote for KATE!! Vote for change in the March 3rd primary!

I might not be able to vote for @katebarrcanwin.bsky.social , but I'm definitely cheering her on over here in this part of NC! Go Kate! Go!

You're absolutely correct...

1. Leashes, whether they are attached to four-legged pets or human pets or a surfboard, are often not robust enough to trigger the physical or optical elevator door safety mechanisms

2. Small animals have indeed experienced liftoff and been in danger of choking
