• Use the hand you write with.
• Make a fist with your thumb outside, not tucked inside. If it’s tucked inside your fist, when you punch someone, you might break your thumb. The thumb goes across your fingers, not on the side.
• Don’t be like in the movies—don’t aim for the face. Face punches don’t usually stop people, and you can miss when they duck their head or break your hand on their jaw. If you want to get away quickly, or end a fight, aim for the chest, or the ribs. If you really want to do some damage, e.g., you’re being attacked, aim for the throat, which will make it hard for your attacker to breathe for a hot minute.
• When you punch, you want to aim and hit with your first two knuckles. Not the flats of your fingers, and not your ring or pinky knuckles, which can break more easily. You can use your weight, if you’re on your feet, to add wallop, and spring into a punch with your feet and torso.
Useful information, esp. if you haven’t taken self defense.
The first one’s totally wrong. OP must have never watched Bull Durham. NEVER PUNCH WITH YOUR PITCHING HAND.
I should know the last time I threw a punch was six years ago and I tore a wrist ligament (insert limp wrist joke here) and my dominant hand was worthless for two weeks. I wasn’t even trying to hurt anybody we were just goofing around and it was the WORST PAIN EVER

Shit My Students Write: Bloody show -
When reading this, I automatically thought of menstrual shows and how similar they were. No they weren’t dressed in a specific way or making fun of themselves, but what they were doing still provided entertainment for their white audiences. These menstrual groups were formed in the 1840s, and…
Phrasing, Mitt.
Why, yes, Mittens, I would enjoy hunting my parents!

Chicago says goodbye to Kerry “Kid K” Wood.

my favorite baseball player retired today. It’s rare to see somebody retire in the middle of the season, but he looked like Old Yeller out there this season. It would have been nice to see him win a World Series, but he spent all but two years of his career with the Cubs…. He faced only one batter today and struck him out which is a great way to go out considering he holds the major league record for striking out 20 players in a single game.](http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m48kgu416u1qzqn2wo1_500.jpg)

!!! HAIR SOLIDARITY!! My hair is reddy-browny-blonde variations too! Also, sorry about the barfs, I get that too every June (I think it’s an allergy) and whenever I’m stressed.
I’ve been sick for a while. They don’t know what’s wrong with me they’re going to stick a camera in uncomfortable places (not the back of a Volkswagon)
this is actually accurate for once and these are all great tumblrs worth following.

I learned more from reading my brother’s old MAD Magazines from the 70s and 80s than I did in my public school education.
I feel connected to you because #G.I. SOLIDARITY and #redhead childhood
I was going to be like “I’m almost healthy now! yay!” but since I was feeling better I took the dog out by the ball field by my house and had a nice little puke on home plate afterwards. my apologies to the little leaguers out there.
My hair is sooooo fucking weird. I was a little blondie when I was a kid as evidenced here:
(I knew about government mind control techniques even back then)
but now it’s like… I don’t know. Like I’ve had different people tell me it’s brown, blonde, and red so I’ve been referring to it as the ~*~amazing technicolor dream hair~*~ In that picture I don’t really care about the color… it’s the shape that got me all hot and bothered
dayum boi
I know, right? If I ran into 2006 me I would seriously reconsider my sexual preferences.
I found this old picture of me from when I lived in Mississippi five or six years ago so I was probably 20 at the time
LOOK AT THAT HAIR
How do I restore it to its old glory? … and don’t say “go back to Mississippi” that is not a plausible option
