For any relocated TikTok users
you can say sex and kill its fine
If you don't have a profile picture people will assume you're a bot
theres barely an algorithm, if you want to see cool shit reblog things instead of just liking them
follower count doesnt matter
tumblr fame gets you one thing and it is Yelled At
no one knows what the fuck the nsfw policy is
block anyone that annoys you even a little bit
And most importantly:
post cringe
Grabbing you guys for the shoulders so tightly as I say you have to reblog things regardless of how old it is, this is the show and tell website

Tonight (March 17 2021) in Atlanta, at least eight workers are dead after a series of targeted shootings in massage spas. The shooting is the latest in escalating Anti-Asian hate crimes, which have increased nearly 150% over the past year alone.
Below are a few links to organizations to consider supporting, all of whom are fighting for the rights of AAPI, as always feel free to add on any (credible) links or updates:

She smiles, snaggled tooths and all, and seems to gaze upon us with bright optimism. Behind her is a fresh violent watercolour loveliness, harmonising with her hopeful energy. Above her, we read her thoughts, inscribed upon the very air, and these thoughts do read, âwell well well, what fresh hellâ End image description.]

I needed this.
Thank you to all the people who posted this so I ended up seeing it. I really needed this right now. Thank you!
Yeah⌠Not gonna lie⌠I criedâŚ
We need more people like this
Goddamn it stop making me feel human
The therapist I wanna be.
Text in the image:
âIâm a therapist and keep this poster in my waiting room, apparently itâs saved a few lives.â
I donât like the phrase âa cry for help.â I just donât like how it sounds. When somebody says to me, âIâm thinking about suicide. I have a plan: I just need a reason not to do it,â the last thing I see is helplessness.
I think your depression has been beating you up for years. Itâs called you ugly, and stupid, and pathetic, and a failure, for so long that youâve forgotten that itâs wrong. You donât see any good in yourself, and you donât have any hope.
But still here you are: youâve come over to me, banged on my door and said, âHEY! Staying alive is REALLY HARD right now! Just give me something to fight with! I donât care if itâs a stick! Give me a stick and I can stay alive!â
How is that helpless? I think thatâs incredible. Youâre like a marine: trapped for years behind enemy lines. Your gun has been taken away, youâre out of ammo, youâre malnourished, and youâve probably caught some kind of jungle virus thatâs making you hallucinate giant spiders.
And youâre still just going, âGIVE ME A STICK. IâM NOT DYING OUT HERE.â âA cry for helpâ makes it sound like Iâm supposed to take pity on you, but you donât need my pity. This isnât pathetic. This is the will to survive. This is how humans lived long enough to become the dominant species.
With NO hope, running on NOTHING, youâre ready to cut through a hundred miles of hostile jungle with nothing but a stick, if thatâs what it takes to get to safety.
All Iâm doing is handing out sticks.
Youâre the one saying alive.
I legit cried at this. Iâve needed to hear it put this way. Bless this post.
Every time I see this post I stop to read the whole image. It always helps â even on the good days.
Because it wasnât weakness. It wasnât shameful to seek help. It wasnât pathetic to âcry for helpâ. I was looking for a stick, be that from myself or from someone else. I was trying to find a way out. I was trying to heal myself.
this is fuckin incredible.Â
Iâm sorry if I repost to many of these, but if it could be someoneâs âstickâ then itâs worth it
For anyone that needs to read this today.Â

They also have this one and I think quite a few others but these two I keep on my phone and pull up on my bad days.
Text in the second image:
âWhy are you so lazy?â
But youâre not lazy. Lazy is when you shrug things off because you canât summon up the give-a-damn. When youâre curled up tight on your chair, at your desk, alone and grey and desperately wishing that you had your life in order, that you did all those things that you had to do, that it didnât feel like breaking rocks just to feed and clothe yourself and get some sleep, thatâs not lazy.
People donât understand. You tell them âItâs Hard.â They tell you, âNo it isnât. Youâre just lazy.â
You start to wonder if theyâre right. Is breaking those rocks easy for everyone else? Are they that much stronger than you? They donât look like theyâre struggling. âJust try harder,â they say. But youâre trying. Itâs not working. Breaking boulders in your path until youâre spent isnât lazy, and you do it day after day.
Youâre not lazy. Most people donât have those rocks to break.They donât even know what itâs like to have to break rocks to get things done. They donât understand how hard you have to work, and how hopeless you feel, when you try and fail to do what they do easily. Things hard harder for you, they really are. And if those people had to deal with your problems they wouldnât be doing any better.
Youâre not lazy. Youâre not weak. Youâre fighting hard. I guess I just want you to know that I know that.â

itâs to early to be crying like this

See sizing guide to see which range suits your body shape.
so direct action is not an option available to you. what can you do right now instead?
Be mindful of the content youâre putting on your social media accounts. Stop retweeting/reposting violent images and videos of black people dying. Know that content like this, even with trigger warnings included, can be very emotionally disturbing/distressing and yes, even traumatic, for black people navigating the internet right now.
Report any images and videos you see where protestorsâ faces are visible/unblurred, particularly in content surrounding the lootings. Donât retweet or repost these images and videos. This can be a death sentence.Â

Hey so MFF has asked people to switch over where theyâre donating due to the flood of support, link to the links here
Iâm gonna add the Lake Street Council onto here. For those who donât know, Lake Street is the street where a lot of businesses have been vandalized/looted/burned, and although the mediaâs been paying a lot of attention to the chain stores that have been affected, thereâs a ton of small, independent, largely immigrant-owned businesses along that street. They were already suffering due to the pandemic, and replacing broken windows, cleaning off graffiti, and/or dealing with damage from water or fire or looters is an expense that a lot of them will have a hard time coming back from.
I can vouch for the Lake Street Council being a big supporter of those independent businesses (and not, say, Target, which will be fine, jeez, theyâve been making money hand over foot during this pandemic).
Donation link here
i would also recommend donations to your local bail funds, especially considering what weâre seeing unfold across the country. this thread has some major citiesâ funds linked, though it is of course not all-encompassing.
