Honestly, weâve only seen deep sea fish at their worst. Deep sea fish are like the opposite of the fast food expectation vs reality meme.
Was expecting an art post but got a lecture on fish pressurization instead
If thatâs not 100% accurate description of this hellsite, nothing is.
DO NOT SUPPORT SALVATION ARMYÂ
I can back this up. It isnât only their shelters.
I have a family friend who worked at our local Salvation Army headquarters as a a secretary. This particular office took all the Christmas donations for children in need, put them in a warehouse, and on a designated day the staff and their friends picked through them all, taking whatever they wanted. She saw people hauling away bikes donated for specific families. Some local children had hundreds of dollars of gifts donated in their name, and on Christmas they received three cheap things, items likely not even from the person who sponsored them.
My friend quit, and Iâve not given them a dime of my money since then.
Do not give to the Salvation Army.
Do Not. Give. To. Salvation. Army
My turn.
Iâm a wildfire and disaster logistics specialist.
I deal with a lot of agencies who provide disaster relief.
I used to say the Salvation Armyâs disaster services were the one (literally the ONE) good thing they did.
They would come in, set up a canteen trailer, make and pass out hot coffee and donated food in a disaster, usually being one of the first agencies to get there and the last to leave.
Then I found out.
Every time they did this, regardless of if they were actually invited or deployed by the agency in charge (usually FEMA, sometimes others) they would SELF-DEPLOY. Meanjng they would just show up. Ok. Thatâs not TOO bad, sometimes agencies have to take initiative and get there before the red tape is sorted out. BUT. They, after they left at the end of the incident, they would send FEMA or the host agency a BILL. They used one or two paid employees (usually the driver of the truck and a supervisor); and many VOLUNTEERS, but they would bill for EVERYONEâs Labor at standard federal rates. They would bill for the food they distributed even though it was all donated by another agency or private parties. They would bill for the coffee they made and the supplies. Except they would use electricity from the shelter location, water from donations or from the shelter, and in many cases, they would get the coffee and industrial filters DONATED, but bill for them at retail prices.
Donât FUCKING give to the Salvation Army.
The Salvation Army is also ass to the workers. A good number of people join it, naively thinking that itâs doing good, and end up leaving cynical and beaten down. The management is hostile, if not outright abusive, and demand some ridiculous hours of it lower to mid-level staff. Donât support these people.
Unsettling update
Find better local charities and shelters and give to them instead!
Also just for even more horrific context on the original twitter thread?
Salvation Army reached out to Milknmuffins and asked what shelter sheâs at with the promise to address the abuse in it. SheâŠended up saying where she was. She was thrown out onto the street. Itâs also all on Twitter.
They invited her to a personal talk so she could explain the situation in person.
And then they threatened her with a screenshot of a rape-threat made supposedly by her:
And then threw her out into the street while claiming she broke house rules that
So yeah, the Salvation Army is a bunch of entitled assholes that will treat the most vulnerable like shit if they dare try to do anything that makes them look bad
POST PLUS IS COMING, WHETHER YOU WANT IT OR NOT!
Despite the fancy survey, changes to the UI and TOS reveal weâre getting the service in the future whether we want it or not. Obviously, Post+ is a terrible idea that is trying to bank revenue on user content. Unlike patreon or onlyfans, tumblrâs primary focus is on FAN content. The legality of this is NOT in the users favor and as the new tumblr TOS states, said users will be entirely liable for whatever legal matters arise.
SO WHAT ARE WE DOING?
Besides filling out the survey, itâs time to show tumblr we mean business and show our displeasure by hitting them where it hurts.
Ad revenue.
Weâre proposing a 24 hour log off as phase one of this protest.
WHEN IS THE PROTEST?
AUGUST 6th, 2021     12 am Eastern Time (US)      5 am Greenwich Mean Time      6 am Central European Time      8 am Moscow Standard Time      1 pm Australian Western Time      2 pm Japan Standard Time      3:30 pm Australian Central Time      4 pm Australian Eastern Time AUGUST 5th, 2021      11 pm Mountain Time (US)       9 pm Pacific Time (US)
THE END TIME IS 24 HOURS FROM START TIME!!!
So no posting, no queues, no likes, and no reblogs!
WHAT IF I CANâT/WHAT ELSE CAN I DO?
Like this post and share it AS MANY TIMES AS POSSIBLE. Use the hashtags #tumblrlogoff2021 or #postplusprotest on ANY and ALL social media.
WILL THIS WORK?
Maybe, maybe not. Itâs an attempt at doing SOMETHING.
@rat-on-fire your time has come my friend
@one-time-i-dreamt please spread this
@pmseymourva you know what must be done
Marked it on calendar
Having a cluster b personality disorder is constantly being caught between aiming for the best life you can achieve and wanting to throw everything back in lifeâs face and spit it itâs eyes
What people think having npd is like: being an arrogant asshole who doesn't care about what anyone else thinks or feels and staring at yourself in the mirror
What having npd is actually like: "maybe if I do this they'll like me", crying because you got a 97 instead of 100 on a test, staring at yourself in the mirror
No, you can not seperate Narcissism and NPD.
Narcissism is an NPD term.
The words youâre looking for are emotionally abusive, egocentric, egotistical, psychologically manipulative and controlling.
We are not your scapegoat. We are victims of abuse and we donât even fucking know you.
Accusing people of being narcissists or sociopaths because they're bad or abusive frankly says a lot more about you than about whoever you're accusing. It doesn't tell me anything about what that person actually did wrong, it just reveals that you are incapable of conceptualizing badness without scapegoating mental illness. You ought to let peoples' actions speak for themselves, instead of falling back on boogeymen.
You know what I canât stand? The fact that Iâm not allowed to be angry
I post about cluster B problems all the time, so I constantly get idiots like this
If someone commented this on almost any other marginalized personâs post, they would be able to get mad at this person and tell them to fuck off. Because tumblr allows most oppressed groups to be angry, and thatâs great. Iâm here for it!
But why is it that I always gotta walk on thin ice in the same place? Why canât I get angry? If someone tells me or any other cluster B that weâre inheritly abusive, weâre expected to coddle them because of their trauma. And if we donât, then weâre just Proving Their Point. What about our trauma?? Why doesnât our trauma from these sorts of people matter? Why are we not allowed to be angry or upset? Because you guys are scared of us, whether you wanna admit it or not.
Like I try to be nice and educate people best I can but honestly? I canât even blame people making fun of clowns crying about âsociopathsâ or ânarcabuse.â I mean, why do I even bother trying when all of my efforts can be undone in an instant if I get too angry at strangers accusing me of being an abuser, faking my trauma and literally saying to my face that they want me dead? If I get too angry at eugenics then suddenly Iâm just proving their point, that we deserve to be dead, apparently.
Iâm sorry but if you try to justify any of this bullshit by pulling out the abuse card, donât be surprised when people get mad at you. You are a eugenics (genocide) apologist and you are ableist. I donât care what happened to that person, if you jump to police how we respond to our oppression instead of directing that energy towards the problem then you arenât an ally. There is no âWhat theyâre saying is awful but-â like youâre either with us or youâre not. There is no grey area here, either you believe that someoneâs trauma justifies our abuse and marginalization or you donât.
hey maybe instead of latching on to the term ânarcissitic abuseâ (which is ableist towards people with NPD, many of whom where abused themselves) can we please give meaning back to terms like âverbal abuseâ or âemotional abuseâ. I know those terms tend to carry the connotation that they arenât as âseriousâ as physical abuse, but we can make people understand how serious emotional and verbal abuse are by sharing our stories and using those terms.
if you have a personality disorder and youâve hurt someone before and are struggling to forgive yourself even after youâve done everything in your power to make amends, thereâs something you should know: youâre not a monster. in the past you may have done atrocious things, but if you are actively working to prevent yourself from falling into those actions, if you truly feel bad about what you have done, if you actively seek out ways to repair the wrongs you have committed, you are the farthest thing from a monster. itâs important that you have owned up to the horrible things you did, itâs important that you have faced the consequences of your actions, itâs important that you have realized that what you did hurt other people, and itâs important that you are working towards never doing that again. these are all signs of a good person who know that what they did was wrong and wants to strive towards doing better, not just for themselves, but for those around them. there are plenty of people without mental illnesses who do horrible things to others and simply donât care. sometimes they donât even recognize that what they did was wrong, and they donât have any irrational thought processes clouding their vision. what you did may be inexcusable, but so long as you are in the process of working towards becoming better, you are not a monster. you are worthy of compassion and recovery, you are worthy of forgiving yourself.
âThereâs no such thing as âborderline abuseâ, ânarcissistic abuseâ or anything similar. Itâs all just abuse,â I say into the mic.
The crowd boos. I begin to walk off the stage when booming voices speak and command silence from the masses.
âTheyâre right,â they all say. I look for the source of the voices and see everyone ever diagnosed with a personality disorder.
Hey! Did you know:
People with NPD should be treated with decency
Having NPD does not make you broken
People with NPD are allowed to be happy
Having NPD does not make you abusive
People with NPD can live a fulfilling and wholesome life
Having NPD does not make you a monster
People with NPD are capable of recovery and are not âlost causesâ
NPD is just as much of a disorder as any other, and should be treated with the same level of recognition
People with NPD are just as capable of being good people as those without it

Honestly, healing from chronic / childhood trauma isnât pretty, it isnât romantic, most of the time it isnât some beautiful story of a perfectly innocent victim rising to become strong
A lot of healing from chronic / childhood trauma is realizing there is a lot of dirt, grime, hurt, pain, and problematic behaviors and beliefs that living in such an environment has instilled inside of you.
It is realizing a lot of things you thought were normal were not, and a lot of the things youâve done that you thought were given truths and normal things about the world were false, not needed, and hurtful to others and yourself around you.
A lot of people want a healing story that is inspiring and beautiful - with a clear abuser and a clear victim - someone who was clearly 100% perfect, innocent and never did anything wrong in life and someone who was clearly 100% evil, intentional, corrupt, and malicious. The hero / villian story of trauma, abuse, and recovery is so much easier to digest both for others and the person, but the reality is - living through hell instills and causes people to learn things that arenât 100% perfect and innocent.
No trauma survivor or victim deserves what happened to them, nor did they ask for it in any form, but it isnât abnormal for one to unknowingly after growing up and living in an environment that was dangerous, harmful, and painful to learn things that arenât the best in the general world.
Trying to heal, mistakes will be made, a lot of unlearning and relearning will happen. People - especially children and teenagers who grew up in these environments - will likely reenact what happened to them or use defensive mechanisms that arenât the best that they got from assuming the world is like their home.
Many will do things that arenât âokayâ or are âproblematicâ because that is all they know. This isnât to say it is okay or excusable. This isnât to say you should forgive anyone who did this to you.
This is to those who did bad things in the past that they punish themselves for, hate themselves for, the bad things they did due to being young and in a stage of survival.
The past does not define you and you were young and living by what you were taught growing up. You are not a horrible person because of how you learned to live. Who you are is found in the present and the future and in what you do now and what you do later.
You can and deserve to forgive yourself and your younger selves for what had happened when you knew little more.
You arenât horrible or terrible.Â
Being young is hard
Being a teen is hard
Having trauma is hard
Having chronic trauma is hard.
Being young and growing up in an environment conducive to chronic trauma is even harder.
You deserve and are allowed to forgive yourself and move forward and heal.
You deserve to heal just like anyone else.
