Important Shit - Tumblr Posts
seconding this because that's fucking insane. don't ever do this to anyone. i don't care what you think they've done to deserve it [which in this case was absolutely nothing] that is a human behind that username and they deserve to be treated with respect and decency.
praying that they get to have a better life outside of tumblr. they deserve that.
Edit: to the person who sent my address to me as an anon ask actually fuck you. None of what I've done is enough to warrent that. Nothing warrents that. You have no reason to threaten me im already leaving.
Im gonna be abandoning this tumblr im sorry.
People seem real upset over my requests.
I will state this one last time though.
I struggle bad with hygiene, to the point its a medical issue, i have severe depression and sensory issues with water. These drawings make me feel safe and ive actually had a shower for the first time in months because i felt safe to after seeing people relating with me and encouraging me.
But people seem to think i am doing this for a bad reason and that really hurts me a lot. I'm sorry, i truly am. I dont mean anything bad. But i shall leave then. You guys dont want me so i wont stay where i dont belong. Im sorry. I really am. Im sorry if i made anyone upset or weirded out.
Im sorry
Heh
I truly hate the word “unalive.” There are so many other euphemisms that fictional Italian mobsters worked so hard to provide you with and you just ignore them.
Reblog this, I don’t care if this isn’t your usual content this needs to be reblogged
WARNING!!!!
People, please be careful. There are also people tracking children and people and putting bids on them based on their profile pictures on whatsapp, tracking and kidnapping them. Especially young children, so please be cautious, especially parents who have their children as their profile pictures.
Please pass this on to everyone so that they are aware of the danger. I don’t how it is all around the world but I know it can’t just be here so please please spread the word. Thank you.

Dear teen girls,
Stop abusing your boyfriends and yes what you are doing is abuse.
Stop:
Yelling at him in front of his friends
Hitting or slapping him when he does or says something you don’t like
Telling him he doesn’t have a choice when it comes to decisions that involve both of you
Telling him he can’t hang out with friends because you don’t like him
Telling him to not talk to other girls even if they are his friend
Forcing him to spend every moment with you
Belittling him and pointing out all his flaws
Calling him stupid or making fun of him for making a mistake
Threatening to break up with him if he doesn’t do what you want
Being emotionally manipulative and crying until he does what you want
Accusing him of cheating every time he’s not with you
Blow up is phone if he doesn’t text you every five minutes
Telling him you are the must thing that has ever happened to him and no one else will love
Physically attacking him when ever you are mad
Forcing him to have sex despite that fact that he said he didn’t want to
Invading his privacy by going through his phone
Getting mad at him for changing his password and demanding he tell you what it is
If a guy did any of these things to a girl it would be considered abuse but since its the other way around its considered normal. Throughout High school I saw many girl treating their boyfriends like shit. Sometime even physically abusing them in the hallways and no one trying to stop it because its a girl attacking a boy.
Boys: If your girlfriend does anything on this list leave her. It is abuse and you deserve better.
Girls: if you find your self doing anything on this list to your boyfriend you need to knock it off because you are being abusive.
No! Absolutely not! Tumblr and AO3 are where I go to be creative, vent, find serotonine, and make connections! We CANNOT let this bill be passed! I also have social anxiety and I REALLY don’t wanna call and adult (I don’t even know what I’d say I’m not the best at words and I only have this knowledge of what the bill entails.)
Everyone, PLEASE bring awareness about this and please do anything you can on behalf of those of us who CAN’T!
PLEASE READ
So as of tomorrow, the Kids Online Safety Act, is set for markup as of July 27 at 10:00 am. And for those who aren't aware, this bill, if passed, does not protect kids. If merely eradicates privacy, freedom of speech, and unlawfully searches and seizes everything you say and do on the web.
It will censor everything the government does not like and if you want "unrestricted access" you will need to prove you are above the age of 18, which will most likely mean you will need to upload some kind of ID. Additionally, if you need to upload your ID, there is no guaranteed protection that your image or the ID itself will not be swiped or sold like how Instagram/Facebook/Twitter did when they sold data to the Russians.
This will also be harmful to kids, especially those to have a bad living situation. KOSA does nothing but police the Internet for everything you say and do on the Internet. It will censor medical information, history, information, and restrict and limit, if not outright ban what can be posted on social media.
Sites like Ao3 (Archive of Our Own), Wattpad, Tiktok, Tumblr, etc.... EVERYTHING will be affected, art especially. And what's more, is KOSA passes, it will be a gateway to pass all the other bad internet bills like the RESTRICT ACT, EARN IT ACT, COOPER DAVIS, etc.
The Internet will turn into a hellscape for everyone; kids, companies, and adults alike!
The picture above, from @dontdelete.art, is a call to action in protesting these bad internet bills. As of today, July 26, we need to protest against this bill for our privacy and our freedom. Call your representatives and senators, AND ALSO call the Commerce Committee as they are the ones overseeing this mark up meeting.
The Commerce Committe's numbers are:
Majority: 202-224-0411
Minority: 202-224-1251
Call them and tell them you oppose KOSA, tell them the dangers, tell them how it breaks our first and fourth ammendment rights and how it violates our privacy.
We only have one more day before it goes to mark up, so let's make it count. Spend today speaking out on KOSA, post on social media talking about the dangers of KOSA, call and email your representatives, senators, and the committee!
DON'T SIT IDELY BY, MAKE TODAY COUNT!

🚨🚨Horrific news, KOSA headed to markup July 27th🚨🚨
We are aiming for a push on badinternetbills.com to really get the word out in this next week, this is our LAST CHANCE!!
Calling and emailing your Senators, is most effective.
Call script here ☝️
Please!! reblog, repost, copy-paste resources from this, we need as much awareness as we can get, this very well be our last chance to defend free speech online!!
Now is an excellent time to tell your Democratic Congress Critters trans Healthcare is important
If you can't safely contact them in person, here are some other options:
Call the Capitol Switchboard at (202) 224-3121 and ask to be connected to the representative of your choice.
Here is one that will send your reps a fax: https://resist.bot/
I keep having to tear down extremely predatory/misleading Scien.tology flyers in my school's art building. This is the third fucking time I've ripped the fuckers up and I'm getting Real Fucking Tired of it.
uh so i never do this but maui is quite literally on fire and there isn't nearly enough care or consideration for. you know. Native Hawaiians who live here being displaced and the land (and cultural relevance) that's being eaten up by the fire. so if ya'll wanna help, here's some links:
maui food bank: https://mauifoodbank.org/
maui humane society: https://www.mauihumanesociety.org/
center for native hawaiian advancement: https://www.memberplanet.com/campaign/cnhamembers/kakoomaui
hawai'i red cross: https://www.redcross.org/local/hawaii/ways-to-donate.html
please reblog and spread the word if you can't donate.
So someone mentioned this in a reddit post and I found the pdf and read the first few pages and it's terrifying what they intend to turn the U.S. into.
Lest anyone be tempted to take this with a grain of salt, this is literally a whole ass novel they wrote which is on sale on The Heritage Foundation's website. Also, the right wing started working on overturning Roe basically right after it became law. It may have taken them 50 years to do it, but they succeeded; and now they plan to institute a national ban on abortion despite the majority of Americans wanting abortion to remain legal.
Anyway, I wanted to get this info out there and if anyone knows of other people they can tell about this (I mean, it's basically literally the evil villain playbook), please spread the word. I hope all the people in politics on the Democratic side at least read this so they can hopefully mount defenses against some of it. But it remains to the voters to show up and keep the Democrats in power so America can't become a Christofascist state (ok, so it can't become more of a Christofascist state).
Oh, also for those of you who are younger (which is most of you probably), back in the early 2000s during the Bush presidency (Bush II) it was thought by some that he and many of his followers were actively trying to destroy the environment and end the world. Apparently, they believed in the rapture. So I guess it was thought if they actively bring about the end of the world, God will call them all up to heaven? So yeah. That could be a thing.
I did try to verify this (because back in the day I read some very left leaning stuff that had some of the same issues Fox news has with credibility) and I could not find anything about Bush or his presidency as it related to the rapture or anything. But I did find this article about the rapture and religion and how some Christians do want the world to end and are excited about it? It's a pretty long read. I just skimmed it.
Please sign these petitions. I'm begging you.
Stop the anti-LGBTQ bills
Please reblog if you see this. This is important. This saves lives. Every reblog matters.
about project 2025
to all americans: project 2025 is a plan created by an association of republicans for what they will do if they win office in the next presidential election. within 180 days of victory, they plan to turn the country around. they've written a book called mandate for leadership: the conservative promise detailing their plan. it is 900+ pages long. you can download a pdf online (i tried putting the link here but it won't work. just look up mandate for leadership pdf)
what they want: their republican president to do a deep clean of the government and, in essence, turn it into a conservative stronghold. they want to flood the government with republicans. (source) (source) what they will do with this power includes:
dismantle climate policy (source)
criminalize being lgbtq+ (source) (the entirety of promise #1 in the book is about this. you can read it)
nationwide abortion ban
basically getting rid of anything they don't like. see below
why this matters: a couple months ago, i would've thought they could never pull it off. but now, anti-lgbtq+ legislation has only been growing. and if you think you're safe in a blue state,
you're not

there are palestinian kids who should be in school, getting ready for a new semester. they should be procrastinating their homework, texting their friends. they should get to go home when they feel unsafe or upset.
instead, the school year was suspended on november 6th. over 200 schools have been bombed. more than 7,870 children have been killed. kids do not have a safe place. anywhere. their homes are being destroyed and their schools are being destroyed and the places they used to hang out at and eat at and shop at and pray at and mourn at and live at are actively being destroyed
people of palestine, of all ages, should be living their lives. they should be having normal experiences. they should be going to the movies or redecorating their rooms or celebrating birthdays or scrolling their phones for no reason. but they’re not. they’re not allowed to have the comfort of mindless human joy without constant threat and fear and bloodshed, and it is the fault of israel, the united states, and other fucked corrupt governments.
there have been close to 20,000 palestinian deaths, almost 2.2 million people displaced, and an estimated half of those people face starvation.
we need to fucking do something. the fact that the US still refuses to support a ceasefire is disgusting and evil. the claim that all anti-israeli statements are based in antisemitism is hurting both the people of palestine and jewish people worldwide.
here’s some things you can do:
-donate if you can or ask someone you know to donate
-sign a petition to demand a ceasefire
-fill out a form to email your representative. then do it again. then do it again. then do it again.
-boycott and avoid all companies on this list that you can (especially now that the holidays are rolling around: buy from independent stores, non-big name brands)
-spam text your friends and family with this post and these links
-reblog to spread awareness, interact with other posts that give instructions for direct action, follow palestinian voices
-instead of feeling guilt or denying yourself personal happiness, do all you can to make a difference. it doesn’t matter if you don’t have money to donate or if you’re a minor. you can always contact representatives or sign petitions
DO NOT LET THE GENOCIDE CONTINUE.
The new DRAFT U.N. Resolution, set to be voted on today, calls for:
• ... “urgent and extended humanitarian pauses” in the fighting throughout Gaza and the opening of corridors inside the enclave “for a sufficient number of days to enable full, rapid, safe and unhindered humanitarian access.” • U.N. Secretary General António Guterres to appoint a senior coordinator “with responsibility for facilitating, coordinating, monitoring, and verifying in Gaza, as appropriate, the humanitarian nature” of all assistance, and demands that “the parties to the conflict cooperate with the coordinator to fulfill their mandate without delay or obstruction.” • ... “immediate and unconditional” release of the hostages. It also demands that “all parties to the conflict comply with their obligations under international law ... including with regard to the conduct of hostilities and the protection of civilians and civilian objects.” • It reiterates the council’s “unwavering commitment” to a two-state solution for Israelis and Palestinians and “stresses the importance of unifying the Gaza Strip with the West Bank under the Palestinian Authority.” (12/22/23 | Source: WaPo)
Although the resolution's language was toned down, this is a sign of progress. While such measures are long overdue and should have been honored from the start, we must do everything possible to meet the urgent humanitarian needs in Gaza and relieve unfathomable suffering.
DON'T STOP POSTING. KEEP UP THE PUBLIC PRESSURE. DEFEND HUMAN RIGHTS.
Stay tuned for today's vote.
