do y’all remember before direct messages tumblr had a dumbass ask limit of 10 per hour and communication was impossible until they introduced dumbass fan mail and we were basically sending telegraphs back in forth trying to communicate those were…dark times
Do y’all remember when they finally gave us direct messages and instead of doing it normally, they gave it to a few people at a time and we had to infect each other with it like a virus
Tonight I received an electricity bill that I can’t afford to pay. Across my town everyone’s bill have at least doubled. Between that and my pay fortnight to fortnight because I currently can’t work, I have nothing. All of the time.
I know I ask frequently for help but I need it. I’m doing my best but financially it’s never enough to even keep my head above water..
Currently my bills are around $300.
I would need that in the next week and my parents will no longer support me financially.
If you could spare $5, $10, $50, anything.. I would be immensely grateful 🙏🏻
PETA: They’d rather spend their money on publicity campaigns than on the animals in their care. PETA killed 73.8% of the animals in their care in 2015 (x)
FCKH8: Is a for-profit company that exploits oppressed groups for money. They’re also wildly uninformed, and spread misogyny, cissexism and bi/panphobia, as well as stealing their posts/designs (x)
Autism Speaks: They spend most of their money on researching a way to eliminate autism, heighten the stigma against autism and don’t have a single autistic person on their board (x)
Please support other, better charities, and feel free to add any others you can think of to this.
Susan G. Komen for the Cure: CEO makes insane amounts of money, they deny a lot of requests for wigs/help with treatment/etc., and have attempted to sue other charities that use the color pink as part of their anti-breast cancer campaign. ( xxx )
The Salvation Army: They promote the hatred of LGBT+ people, work with fundamentalist Christian groups to support conservative politics and rip off and exploit workers. ( xxx )
Wounded Warrior: They take money that should be spent on veterans and blow it on huge opulent parties for the company bigwigs. 26 million in 2014 alone wasted! ( xxx )
^ Important reminder to NOT waste any money donating to these groups
Reblogging because of the added info about Wounded Warrior.
A good way to know if a nonprofit you’re donating to is allocating their money in the right way is to check out their Charity Navigator rating: http://www.charitynavigator.org
Signal boosting, the bell ringers are out in force, and this info is too important.
Ok, so I know that some of the Salvation Army is like this, thanks to your proof, but here in Australia it… isn’t really? I mean, I have a best friend who is heavily involved (hope you don’t mind if I link your Tumblr @migaishs-mask) and she and all the others I’ve met are incredibly nice and they aren’t LGBT+ negative. In fact, they are heavily LGBT+ positive.
To those you believe all Salvation Army are the scum of the Earth, please, don’t comment just to start a fight. My mind is firmly made up, and I don’t wish to have a fight over the internet.
I just wanted to add that I am not a Christian, I do not know the bible as well as my friend does. But I do know that God had wanted us to love each other and not hate each other.
There’s a lot to unpack here.
+the flexibility to get in that pose
+the balance to stay on the skateboard
+the strength to pull back a bowstring with your toes
+the dexterity to hit a target while moving
+the coordination… not hand-eye, but foot-eye
…I don’t know what to do with these things now that I’ve unpacked them…
How is this even something you find out you can do
Sometimes truth or dare unlocks some amazing abilities
everyone chill. it’s none of your business who identifies as what. keep your orientations/identities to yourself. pan, don’t call bi people transphobic. bi, don’t call pan people special snowflakes. this is being made into a bigger deal than it needs to be, just be nice to each other and see yourself how you want.
