The context here

How Tumblr Became Popular for Being Obsolete

The social-media platform’s status as a relic of the Internet has attracted prodigal users as well as new ones.

⚠️⚠️⚠️ DON'T SCROLL PAST, MY HOSPITALIZED UNCLE AND MY GRANDMOTHER ARE ABOUT TO BE HOMELESS⚠️⚠️⚠️

the highlighted text is the text my grandma got from her and my uncle's landlord. my uncle has been in and out of the hospital since november. he had a heart attack, a quadruple bypass, and now he's in the hospital again because his heart is failing. we don't know whats wrong, and they are considering a heart transplant.

apparently, this whole time, their landlord has been plotting to make them leave. she had my uncle move all the furniture to the garage so she could put new floors in, that labor caused the heart attack, and she only wanted new flooring so she could refresh it for new tenants. and now, they are two months behind on rent, and she wants them gone.

the only way to give them some time, they need $2,805 usd. that'll cover february's rent as well, and start a new lease for them. we have less than two weeks to get this money together, and with my uncle receiving no income, and my grandma barely paying her medical bills with her social security, i fear the worst.

please, you all helped me get him a bed to sleep on after his surgery, i know this is a lot more to ask, but they need help and they need help fast. i would pay for it myself, but i just emptied my savings and maxed out my credit card for a new car when mine broke down. this could not have happened at a worse time.

if i could get a little less than 3,000 people to donate a dollar each, we can keep them housed.

tldr: my uncle is in the hospital with a failing heart, my grandmother lives with him, they are months behind on rent and their landlord has no qualms about evicting them in this situation. we need $2,805. every penny and reblog helps.

Reblog if you’re bisexual, support bisexual people or are actually a bunch of tiny velociraptors in a human suit

i don’t wanna be a killjoy but if you’re playing pokemon arceus please take the time to learn about the ainu people, their ongoing struggle to keep their culture alive, and the colonisation of hokkaido (the area the sinnoh region is based on)

the game itself has a good bit of colonialist themes and indigenous erasure, which means it’s up to fans to educate themselves and be mindful of what things they internalise. this isn’t a call out or guilt trip, i’m just asking people to be aware of the context behind the media they consume.

additionally, consider boosting ainu voices (especially about the game itself), donating to ainu individuals, and spreading awareness on the subject as allies.
