“i also choose this guy’s dead wife” was easily the #1 funniest thing to ever be written on the internet.

[carry-on-my-wayward-butt]

you can know the punchline but you can’t stop it from punching you.

i do also feel the need to add that phil8248 really liked the joke. he said his wife had always had a dark sense of humour, even about her illness and death, and seeing the joke made him feel like he was laughing with her one last time.

My grandmother has been urgently admitted to the hospital because I couldn't afford to buy her medication due to the lack of donations.💔 🙏

My grandmother needs your help.

She urgently needs an expensive treatment that we cannot afford. If we cannot buy her medication, she may be forced to undergo emergency surgery, and there is a serious risk to her life.

Please, I love my grandmother and I want her to stay with us. Every donation, no matter how small, brings us closer to our €600 goal and gives her a better chance of getting the treatment she desperately needs.

Please don't leave us alone. Your kindness, your donation, or even sharing our campaign could help save her life. 🙏💔

Hilda🙏💔💔

[hildanasr123]

2days, I've been posting, tagging, and pleading for help.no donation come .When will you help me—after I've lost my grandmother?💔🙏

My grandmother's life = €600 😭

Imagine someone you love fighting for their life simply because they can't afford a surgery and the medicine they urgently need.

Please help my grandmother stay with us. 💔

THESE MAY BE MY LAST WORDS ABOUT MY WIFE. This could be the last time I write anything while my wife is still alive, and I will never forgive anyone who sees this and scrolls past without caring or even sharing. Today, my wife's medicine ran out. Since leaving the intensive care unit, her condition has remained critical, and without her treatment, I fear she could stop breathing again. I have no way to afford the medication she urgently needs. I am begging you from Gaza, watching the woman I love struggle for every breath while I stand helpless beside her. Please donate now and help me get her treatment before it's too late. Please donate now. GoFundMe.

anyway if you're bored waiting on Taylor's wedding photos you should check out this very sweet blog by the venue where I had my wedding, every post is adorable and I genuinely enjoy reading them every week even though my wedding is over

[heystephen]

oh what activism do i contribute to? i spread misinformation online about taylor swift. no yeah i make the world a better place by believing everything i hear about her and then doubling down when i get fact checked. yeah it’s really important work

[heystephen]

what do you mean i should actually attend protests, sign petitions and raise awareness about issues that matter to make a change about issues that matter? i literally comment “youre defending a billionaire 😂😂😂” under every swiftie post i see online. like im doing the TRUE work

[heystephen]

no yeah i know the last few hate trains i got behind turned out to be not entirely true but i really wanted it to be true so i am going to keep presenting the untrue claims as factual. what do you mean this hurts my credibility and my cause?

[a-king-named-lear]

Very genuinely, what makes you think people who engage in online activism are not also doing those other things?

I may be an outlier, but when I was running my #boycottTaylorSwift campaign, I was also putting in around 15-20 hours a week of volunteering with various organizations.

This was one of the most common critiques I faced when trying to generate interest in the campaign and it kinda drove me bonkers because it feels like such a wild assumption? Like, people can understand that what they see online is not a full representation of someone's life in other contexts, but it beggars belief to think that someone could be upset with Taylor Swift and also a committed organizer?

As a side note, I try to be very careful to fact-check info I see about her for this exact reason, but I also often think fans are overly defensive about this stuff when they could just accept the critiques that are valid (or disagree with them, Idc) and move on.

Anyway. I mean all of this in good faith, but I am curious about your answer to the first question, if you feel inclined to respond.

a ton of people have unexpectedly followed me over the last 2 days so here is my rent-lowering gunshot:

the american south is the most racially diverse and poorest region of the united states, and any political sentiment that treats the south is stupid or expendable is inherently racist and classist. a lot of y'all are racist and classist. the south is also the heart of american culture. argue with a wall. you cannot deny that everybody in the entire world does not emulate artists from atlanta. there is vested interest in keeping the south poor and uneducated BECAUSE this is the most racially diverse region in this country. if you actually give a fuck about progress, you would fight for the south, not mock us.

🚨 Surviving the surgery means nothing if she dies in the ICU.

My mother survived a high-risk surgery, but she is still in the ICU fighting for her life. The surgery was only half the battle we cannot afford the daily medication keeping her alive.

The Goal: We urgently need $465 for this week's ICU care.

The Crisis: We only raised $35. The donations have completely frozen.

The price of a single cup of coffee could buy my mother's next breath. Please don't let everything she survived be in vain.

If you can’t donate $1 or $5, you MUST REBLOG this immediately. Your reblog is what keeps her alive.

Donate here -- PayPal -- Verified fundraiser

There is grief in outgrowing versions of yourself, even if you’re proud of who you’re becoming.

Arrest everyone involved.

Money saved: maybe a couple million dollars.

People killed: around three quarters of a million.

I don't want to talk about the 1000 days because I died a thousand times over during those days. They ripped my soul from me, took my sanity, and killed everything beautiful I saw. It's just a number the world talks about today and forgets tomorrow, even though tomorrow will be worse because it's 1001, meaning tomorrow there will be death, hunger, fear, poverty, and oppression. Nothing will change except that we keep getting worse and worse and worse. The whole world is showing sympathy today, but tomorrow they'll forget, even as our extermination and killing continue.

Please help my friend Mohammed Ayesh. Without his help vetting fundraisers, hundreds of families would not have gotten the support and backing they needed. And now, he and his family are in need of help too.

His pregnant wife still has bullets lodged in her body and needs surgeries to have them removed. Please help them if you can.

Pay Mohammed Ayesh using PayPal.Me

Go to paypal.me/MAyesh674 and type in the amount. Since it’s PayPal, it's easy and secure. Don’t have a PayPal account? No worries.

Watched a documentary about abuse and advice one guy said to give children was, "Tell them that if someone is hurting them, to tell someone - and don't just tell one person. Tell as many people as possible, and keep telling as many people as possible until the abuse stops." and i really liked that

Bc so many ppl focus on the idea of telling A Trusted Adult, but even a well-meaning individual can fuck up and let abuse fall through the cracks or not know what to do

Whereas if a child tells LOADS of adults AND other kids, there's far less opportunity for an abuser to do damage control

Consistently telling their story and spreading it around disempowers the abuser to control and coerce the flow of information, or to utilise gaps and weaknesses in systems of reporting or welfare to isolate the child

Just really good advice. Not suprised I don't hear it more often.
