i think some of y'all really need to learn is that you are only entitled to safety, not to feelings of safety. you need to recognize that your feelings are fallible, shaped by your cultural upbringing and intrinsic biases, and that they are not always reflective of reality.
for example, imagine you’ve been raised in a society that violently stigmatizes drug use, mental illness and homelessness. you’re walking down the street, and you see someone who is disheveled, talking to themselves or yelling, pacing, maybe even smoking or injecting drugs. you feel unsafe, even though this person poses no threat to you. you call the police, even though no harm has been done and a reasonable assessment of the situation can tell you that no harm will be done. the police come and arrest that person, and although your right to safety was never violated, you’ve now put someone else in harm’s way. you’ve traded their right to physical safety for your own perception of safety, and that is morally indefensible. that cannot be explained away by saying that you deserve to be safe in public, because you were never unsafe in the first place.
âHaha, isnât that cute. Now, photo time is over; we need you to reach into the machinery with your little child hands, boy, somethingâs clogging the gears.â
I think to topple the devine rights of kings billionaires, we need to dispel the myth that they have that money because they are smart and worked hard and make good decisions
I think the zip ties on the submarine and the limited views on the advertising platform might begin to show them for what they are
They are not smarter than you. They are not better than you. And if you suddenly magically got all that money people would stop saying ânoâ to you too. and that is not a good thing
I am a mentally ill bisexual black nonbinary person trying to get off disability for good.
I have a job and should be on the schedule next week full time. I am also attending classes to finally take and pass my stna state board test.
I need help. A lot. Iâm trying my best to do everything in my power to be a productive person and be independent.
I gave my rental company the money I raised towards the $183 I owed but theyâre saying that if I wait until next week Iâll owe double the original amount so uhh thatâs $93 plus another $183. Plus I have only two and a half scrubs to be able to work in. Itâs hot and I sweat so if I could rewear them I would but itâs not feasible.
This is all the money I have in my accounts right now
Also I used some of my disability check to pay almost all my phone bill but have this amount left.
I donât know what to say that hasnât already been said but again I need serious help.
Made a wishlist with some scrubs I need if anyone is feeling generous
Iâm at the point where I donât even want to deal with my rental company as I could use that money for so many things I need. Iâm literally almost out of groceries.
anyway my goal is like $150 to keep me afloat until I hopefully get paid on the 21st
Iâm sorry for all this but this should absolutely be the last time I need this kind of support
it’s disability pride month!! consider supporting a disabled e asian lesbian trying to survive and gain financial independence from the abusive family they moved away from. aka me.
im going to be in need indefinitely so anything helps. im looking into assistance with employment + accommodations, and i do ko-fi art commissions if people want something in return.
Btw much as I love to make fun of twitter and redditâs business decisions, I have 0% trust in tumblrâs management to not go a similar route so this is your gentle reminder that you should regularly go to your blog settings to export your blog. Thatâs a fancy way of saying you can download a backup of your blog so if everything goes down youâll still have a backup of your posts & convos.
Itâs gonna come as a surprise to most of you, but if you donât want to do that for whatever reason youâre allowed to not reblog this post. Iâm not holding a gun to your head here Iâm just trying to spread the word for people who do want a backup of their stuff.
To the confused people in the notes asking how to do it: follow the instructions in the original post. Go in your blog settings (the settings of whatever blog you want to back up.) Scroll down. There is an option labelled export your blog. Click on it. Tumblr will take some time to make a backup of your blog (Can take an entire day if you too have been here for nearly a decade.) You will get an email when itâs done. Click on it again. It will start downloading. It will take multiple hours if your blog is big.
Itâs right below your blocked blogs. Right above the option to delete your blog.
If you still find yourself confused despite my addendums, I encourage you to directly google up âhow to export my tumblr,â which will hopefully explain it better than I can. For future reference, you can use google to look up a great many things if you run into a tumblr post you find unclear.
