i’m seeing a lot of people reblogging suicide hotlines and this is just a reminder that this is a suicide help line that works like a text-based instant messenger for people who may need to talk to someone but have trouble/are uncomfortable making phone calls

[groovian-whovian]

Never don’t reblog this. There are so many people who have such bad anxiety about phone calls. This can save so many lives

[redshiftsinger]

Also helpful if someone is in a situation they may not feel like talking out loud about their problems is a viable option (for instance if they live with a douchecanoe who would mock them for seeking help)

If Trump wins tonight do NOT harm yourself or attempt suicide. If you don’t want him to win you are already a compassionate person. No matter the results tonight we NEED YOU to fight for equality and change. Please call a friend or hotline if you’re thinking about harming yourself. You are loved. I am on your side. The world needs you to be here in the morning.

Talking with a friend about this got me thinking… the best way to flip the bird to everyone voting for Trump is to keep being yourself and striving for success and happiness.  Existing in society while marginalized is a radical act.

CultureHISTORY: The “Lost Friends” Ads - New Orleans, LA (1879-1880)

A heartbreaking piece featuring the newly digitized collection of original advertisements from a New Orleans newspaper between November 1879 and December 1880. Because it was part of the institution of slavery to split up families, after the Civil War, African Americans began the search for their lost kin. Once they were free, this was one of the few options former slaves had to try and find their families. Writing ads in local newspapers. Just another piece of American History.
