Sam I Am

[nothingtoseehereanymorefarewell]

I do not care. I do not care.

My fox cousins lost a mom today and I am so fucking upset about it.

I almost agree with what Mike Tyson said about people being too comfortable with the Internet nowadays because if they hurt someone they won't receive a reaction as painful as it would be in real life.

What the fuck do you mean she deserved to be harassed because she had autism and BPD.

What do you mean OTHER RESCUES bullied her for the way she handled rescuing some foxes from fox farms. She was on your same fucking side dammit!!!

What do you MEAN we can't have NICE THINGS FOR FUCKING ONCE.

I am outraged. This is not just a woman whose life was cut short by mental illness. The ableist and/or arrogant assholes who brought her to this final act are to be held accountable. I hope they are haunted by what they did for the rest of their lives.

Rest in peace Mikayla Raines. You were truly a wonderful soul. You are irreplaceable and will forever be missed. Your actions to rescue animals in danger will never be forgotten and will forever be cherished. May Save a Fox continue its journey and live on in your name❤️

Post Scriptum because I need to be less scared about speaking my mind on the Internet, aka EDIT:

I understand Mikayla may have made mistakes handling foxes/may not have managed to always keep all of them alive. At the same time, there were other rescues and veterinarians and people in general helping her, so what I mean to say is, the situation was clearly monitored. People weren't just letting her hoard animals or be negligent to them willy-nilly.

If there were concerns about her being in the wrong, instead of a fucking snark subreddit and empty criticism on social media, the State could have been warned. But I have seen around people discussing the possibility that fur farms have been involved in this smear campaign so the logic, or abscence of the very same, behind this criticism shebang towards her, seems to get more and more complex by the day. Unfortunately discussion on Reddit is dying down... Though I have read concerning things there. What the fuck KazeoLion...

There were issues with funding, that is something I remember. It was spoken of in the videos. There were also things that had to be done for the sake of the foxes and animals themselves, like registering as a fur farm (because that is the Law in the State, for the cases of people like her who cannot fully convert her facility into a rescue, and because it allowed her to get closer to fur farms and yes, pay them, but also force them into deals that would make them cease to operate in some cases). Also not releasing all foxes, because some were too domesticated or disabled or were illegal to release.

The only accusations I have seen which hold some water are those of her owning exotic pets, like Fawzi or pythons.

Still does not justify the death threats, the snark subreddit, and the fact that the Tumblr users who contributed to the snark subreddit and the misinfo shared on it need to be called out and they are instead trying to cover their asses. Acting like they never contributed at all which is... False. Because they did.

Do not approach things the same way they did however! I have been meaning to say this. No death threats.

This post started as a call out to Reddit snark and her irl friends, but since it's been getting "famous" (I really did not expect people to talk about this issue, but it seems I was wrong) and it's been found out that the snark was started/fed by someone here on Tumblr, the involvement this platform had should not be ignored, that is true. The "random Tumblr blogs" did have an impact. And I am tired of people saying it did not. But this, calling people out? That's what we should focus on.

Not bullying. No death threats. Do not stoop to their level. Do not become the same kind of scum they did. And please uplift your local animal rescues and support Mikayla's family. Focus on this, focus on helping things grow and progress again. If I am not mistaken Save a Fox still accepts donations. I cannot personally donate to anything, but I would like to encourage people to do so if they are able (also check the reblogs of Palestine gofundmes I have on my blog, they need support now more than ever!).

That's it, that's the edit.

Another EDIT BECAUSE I AM GETTING FUCKING PISSED:

STOP THE FUCKING TRANSPHOBIA. THEY WERE ASSHOLES. BEING ASSHOLES IS NOT INTRINSIC WITH BEING TRANS. IF YOU THINK IT IS YOU ARE FUCKING TRANSPHOBIC AND I HATE YOU.

Mikayla Raines from Saveafox has taken her own life.

Her partner posted about the tragedy, citing critics from people as close to her as would-be friends, but not limited to internet trolls.

I met her briefly at the state fair after an illegal breader dumped two domestication-attempt foxes at a wild life refuge near me. She was so sweet.

She may not have been perfect, but she was trying to do good. The foxes she "purchased" was a fur fame she bought out and contractually forced them to shut down. She was slowly finding homes for the foxes there but was deeply underwater with not enough support. It was 500 foxes in total. The weight of those foxes was also due to to conditions of said fur farm.

She was also criticized for pets she had prior through legal means. Snakes, and fennec foxes. Neither are illegal to have

The foxes are not legal, but animals who can not be released into the wild will always end up a pet. It's just how it is. And it's a gruesome cycle. Does not change that she didn't deserve to die. Or have her death celebrated for that matter.

Many of these people are doubling down while blaming it on her being too mentally ill, or two Tumblr posts in question (post 1, post 2) that claim that due to being on Tumblr they couldn't have contributed. Which is not even remotely true. All of the internet is connected no matter the platform and every Tumblr user knows this. We all know Tumblr posts go viral online, especially when reposted to Facebook, and all Tumblr users have more than one social media.

It's disgusting. I hope you never know a day of peace.

Update on someone who commented on my post and is now dirty deleting and blocking so I'll make the statement I have here.

Archiving VS insinuating blame are entirely different things. She was slut shamed and also shamed for owning snakes. Owning snakes is NOT a crime. You were archiving shit you were bullying.

[croifox]

news of mikayla raines's death is hitting me hard, as a person who likes foxes (no duh) . I try to push people to avoid "cute" animal videos that are of dubious or possibly manipulated and abusive origin, so she/her organization as a credible source of nice content about foxes in healthy happy conditions was, you know, nice.

the thing that strikes me is that no matter what complaint or critique you may have about the organization's methods, or finances, or whatever, surely you have to admit those animals are better off than they were in fur farming? you can fucking SEE that they are in the videos, can't you?

you know, i'm not a wildlife vet but i can see that an animal running and playing is happier than one shivering in a cage in a factory farm.

but people's little complaints were enough to harass her into this? harass HER, not the people she was rescuing foxes from (not, ftr, that they should be harassed either)??

and of course it's a woman they did this to, too. a woman too passionate about her cause always has to get pathologized and punished. fucking horrible.

rest in peace.

i still basically believe that the last 30 years of social acceptance is deeply unstable and at this point mostly driven by the government's cultivation of unpopular minorities as clients, and the second they either decide they need to shore up legitimacy with the american majority of necrofascist lawn hylics or get business-plot couped by the thiel-vermeule axis everyone who made the mistake of coming out in the overworld will be starved into homelessness to great applause. my fellow americans, we must address the gravest national tragedy of our times: the Lord of Misrule appeared on this earth in the avatar of Fred Rogers, the thrice-damned heresiarch of the Albigensians

[gcu-sovereign]

Is Mr Rogers supposed to be the exemplar of social tolerance or the genteel avatar of those lawn hylics?

[vriskakinnieaynrand]

what? he's an Albigensian. he's a heretic. he's a puppet of Satan who misled the populace away from the path of the True Church. do you not know what an Albigensian is? any educated man, anyone worthy of the franchise (if we must have the franchise at all, which we shouldn't; the Republic, you see, needs a Caesar), is of course aware of the heresies of the Cathars, and of the controversy between the iconoclasts and the iconodules, and the history of the filioque

[gcu-sovereign]

I have heard of the Cathars, yes.

are you having a stroke?

[vriskakinnieaynrand]

It's a reference to the Roman philosopher Constantine Alamarius's concept of zymesis, the most likely source of the Gnostic teachings on 'hylic man'. For Alamarius, zymesis is the degraded state of being - "like the froth from which bread is made, which, lacking the ability to comprehend what is higher, exists merely to perpetuate itself" - which he believed existed in the East, as opposed to the vital, barbarian West; he was contemporaneous with and motivated by the same cultural concerns as Tacitus, whose Germania is, of course, less a work of anthropology than a veiled cultural criticism of Rome. The condition of zymesis, Alamarius said, arose in the East for two reasons: racial degeneration and the overcrowding of the Eastern cities. Although his works experienced a revival in the late 19th century, inspiring both the coining of the word 'enzyme' in 1877 and the City Beautiful movement of the 1890s, he has since been forgotten, and the second half of his thesis (that zymesis and the loss of 'that vital force evident in the higher races of man' are caused by overcrowding, and can be prevented by reductions in population density and the settlement of the wilds) has been conclusively disproven by the failure of the City Beautiful movement in DC, and by the success of the American social engineering project of suburbanization - which, as historians have shown, was undertaken to induce zymesis in the populace. So I said 'hylic' instead.

I hate the “open floor plan” that everyone is obsessed with in houses now. I want nooks and crannies and bizarre floor plans. I don’t need to be able to see what someone is doing on the other side of the house. I want places to hide and lurk and dwell in the shadows. I am the beast who awaits in the labyrinth

randomly remembering the time in 2012 when everyone kept saying the world was going to end at midday that day and like, i didnt really believe it, but i didnt want to be a complete fool if i was wrong, so i excused myself from class to go sit the field and perfectly timed the beat drop to a skrillex song just in case something happened. and im just. retroactively amused by the idea of ushering in the appocalypse with skrillex. most 2012 thing you could possibly do.

Genuinely, what is the point of setting the Fallout show on the west coast if it was just going to invalidate everything that happened in the West Coast Trilogy. Shady Sands has fallen, the NCR is a memory, New Vegas is a crater in the ground. The New California Republic, Caesar's Legion, The Enclave, Mr. House, all brushed to the side for a wasteland with no semblance of human society beyond shanty-towns; with no semblance of the legitimate cities of Fallouts 2 and New Vegas. All to what end? To allow the Brotherhood of Steel to make an undeserved comeback?

If anything, I think the series should be the final nail in the coffin that Bethesda fundamentally misunderstands Fallout. In a franchise whose very nature is defined by the Atom Bomb and how it was used as a means to an end by a corrupt Capitalist system; how humanity rose from the ashes of a broken world with the dream of building something better; how our only hope for the future is to learn from our past mistakes and create a world where they can never be made again; Bethesda seems determined to keep us stuck in the past. That we should never advance past the ideals of the nation that led us to this nuclear landscape in the first place, that we should never try to make something new atop the ashes of what came before. That we should just forever stay rats scurrying in the wastes, amongst the shattered visage of Ozymandias and the fruits of his labor, looking up to what he left behind as an example of the kind of existence we should strive to create. Very telling indeed.
