Once again John Oliver proves that you can do anything with money and lawyers

Oliver then proceeded to detail how with $50 and knowledge of the law he was able to successfully apply online to create a debt buying company named “Central Asset Recovery Professionals,” or as Oliver put it, “CARP” named after “a bottom-feeding fish.”

After setting up a rudimentary website for CARP, the satirical, but still real company was offered a $15 million package of medical debt for $60,000.

Oliver explained that the debt was out of statute, which means it is the kind of debt that a collector can only continue to collect, but not sue the debtor for.

Then, instead of chasing down the 9,000 debtors in the debt package as a normal collection agency would, Oliver decided to stage the largest one-time giveaway in television history and work with the nonprofit RIP Medical Debt to forgive the $15 million with no consequences for the debtors.

helloquirks

Okay but now I know what I want to do of I get rich?

beabaseball

You dont have to be rich to do a bit of this actually

RIP Medical Debt is a charity (and therefore takes donations). They buy the rights to medical debt and then forgive them. So far they’ve forgiven over 1B in medical debt.

So a little ray of hope for someone out there today.

shayvaalski

Donating $10 buys $1,000 of medical debt. This is real, it works, and we’ve done it ourselves. You can too.

it is time for crab on tumblr, but not time for crab in my life. yet.

john green didn’t “deserve” the way that early ‘10s tumblr treated him technically, but I feel like the discussion around whether he “deserved” it or not is completely missing the point. he was an adult in a space that was largely recreationally used by teenagers. why would he not get the substitute teacher treatment. what else did you think would occur here.

sar-kalu

This is not the hot take you think it is.

John Green in 2010 was 32; Tumblrs largest demographic of USA users is between 18 and 35. It has been since the sites inception and the only shift in that demographic has occured in the last 10 years as computers and tablets have become more common and accessible.

Tumblr was not and never has been a website for “children and teenagers” and frankly, I’m getting a little bit sick and tired of people rewriting their own history in favour of their* blatant sexual harrassment of an innocent man - or people they don’t particularly agree with.

It’s all “trans rights are human rights”, “love is love”, “black lives matter”, “disabled people deserve respect and self determination” - but all of that crowing is legless if you even refuse to acknowledge that a heterosexual white man was sexually harrassed and verbally abused off a platform where he should have been able to interact with people in relative safety!

Let’s be real - if John Green had been black and a woman at the time this was going on, Tumblr would be uwu'ing him left, right, and centre for being a brave, accessible voice for the general masses; but because despicable idiots who were incapable of nuance or even remotely understanding that their actions were despicable, unethical, and immoral EVEN when they’re directed to a heterosexual, white, man - everyone on this website (bar a small few) limp wristed, hand waved it off like “oh well, shit was fucked but who cares, amirite?”

Where’s your #MeToo energy for straight white men, people? Why must they be exempt from your compassion and respect? Or is it because all you see in them is their “privilege” and name it reason enough to lambast them for things beyond their control? No one can help what they’re born as - this goes for people born into privilege too, and yes, they need to be held accountable - perhaps more than most - but that does NOT give you wholesale licence to bully someone off a website just because they wrote novels about kids in love and doing their best.

Now, I’m not calling John Green perfect by any means, I’m sure he’s made mistakes and bad calls throughout his 40 years of life - and who hasn’t?? - but to remove him from your “x people deserve human rights” narrative as most Tumblr users are so happy to trumpet about, is to wilfully become someone of poor character and moral standing through refusing to acknowledge that just becauae someone has privilege, does not make them immune to abuse and harrassment. Nor does it mean who shouldn’t stand up for them and in fact, if you actually believed in your “x people deserve humans rights”, you should especially stand up for people even if they have the so-called privilege to “avoid the consequences of their actions by simply not signing up to a website where their target demographic for their novels tended to congregate”.

Sarcasm aside, what people on this website did to John Green just because he was “an adult in *checks smudged notes dubiously* childrens spaces, how scandelous”, was goddamn awful.

butterflyinthewell

THANK YOU!! FINALLY, SOMEBODY WITH ACTUAL COMMON SENSE.

I’m so sick of the hypocrisy of “bullying is bad…unless someone is X, then bully them till they croak” on blogs that are supposed to be positivity and “safe”.

I wonder if it’s an age thing, because I’m 41 right now and a lot of this harassment seems to come from teenagers, though young adults have done it too. It happens in fandoms as well, it’s getting worse and it’s terrifying. The internet used to be an escape and now it’s becoming another bully pulpit for people.

As an antibullying activist, I’m appalled.

prismatic-bell

Don’t forget he’s disabled. He has severe OCD.

So it’s also “disabled people deserve rights” until you’re asked to actually show some basic decency to a disabled person.

squeeful

There is no group that it is acceptable to dehumanize.

None.

Period.

There is no age at which it is acceptable or ~understandable~ for someone to bully and sexually harass another human being.

You’re sick little proto-fascist shits when you do it to substitute teachers too.

My latest comic for The Nib was written by my friend Mike Thompson- it’s his first published comics work!

The Nib has been a steady source of income and a huge support to me and many other indie cartoonists for years. They publish amazing work, but will be cut loose by their financial backer in July. You can read the official post about it from editor Matt Bors here. They are still running their kickstarter-funded print magazine, but have to put digital publishing on hiatus until they figure out their next steps. If you’ve been thinking about supporting their membership program, now would be a good time. They have levels from $2 to $40 per month. I really don’t want this to be my last Nib piece!

you know what, THIS is how you address historical queer folks of all stripes in a respectful way. you refer to them the way they chose to be referred to, and you say “it’s impossible to know how they would’ve identified in today’s society, but they’re part of our history regardless”.

Everyone outside of USA:

US First responder here, Just some info for folks, you only get billed if a private ambulance company or a fire department transports. The medical service provided by your local fire department or FD/municipal paramedic is free. Call us when something goes wrong, We will show up and evaluate you/provide care (stop the bleeding, splint the injury, administer epinephrine) free of charge, And then you can have a friend or uber transport you to the hospital (or sign AMA and just stay home if you don’t want to go to the hospital either.)

Also, in a large number of counties, there are public paramedics paid for by the taxpayers, so ALS transport is free. I’d advise researching your local system.

Please don’t avoid calling 911 for a medical emergency because you’re afraid of bills, you have the right to refuse transport which is where the bills occur.

I have to repeat, you will NOT be billed for medical services provided on scene by the fire department/paramedics, And you have the RIGHT to refuse transport even if not going to the hospital will kill you.

Had to take a bunch of CPR and first aid classes for my job in college. This is what the paramedics who taught us told us every class. Always call the fire department first because they’ll help you but won’t change you thousands of dollars because we pay for them through our taxes.

bemusedlybespectacled

it’s funny because yes, you CAN disable right click save, but it takes like an extra two seconds to get around it because of how images are displayed on websites. (technically you could also just screenshot but this gets you a real jpg)

for example, instagram has disabled right click save. here I am trying to save a picture of this girl with a pumpkin sweater, but I am thwarted by the lack of right click save!

to get around it, right click and go to “inspect” or “inspect element” (it’s called different things depending on what computer you’re using)

shimmy around the webpage code until you find the “src” bit. It will helpfully tell you when you’ve found it because the image, and only the image, will light up as if you selected it.

that source is the link to where the image is hosted on the website. click the link.

find the actual hosted image. right click on that.

check and mate.

If you try for one second to tell me the X-Men isn’t an allegory for the gay rights movement, I will smack you. They weren’t even remotely subtle about this.

ceallaig1

The mutants have always been an allegory for anyone that didn’t fit in to society. The folks who drew the comics made a point of that early on.

mcgarrygirl78

It’s not just the gay rights movement, its not just kids trying to “come out” to their parents. Its people being mistreated by the government, put away, forced to pretend to be “normal”, systematically oppressed, even killed for who they are because the powers that be cant control it. It’s an allegory for blacks, gays, the disabled (mentally and physically), women, and anyone really who isnt a white man at the top of the food chain.

sapphia

Fun fact: Ian McKellen worked with the screenwriters to make this scene directly parallel with kids coming out as queer to their parents. This scene was 100% meant to be an allegory for coming out.

This is the only tiktok you’ll ever need, I’ve made about 13 of these and I’m not stopping anytime soon

I’m reblogging again because I did it myself and added pictures for those who have trouble learning from the video.

First take a standard rectangular piece of paper (I used one from a small notebook which I ripped out then cut the holes off)

Then fold in half touching the shorter side to the opposite shorter side.

Fold again making the new shorter side touch the other new shorter side

I did this one more time, but this time I unfolded it right after to get back to where it was only folded twice. It should have left a crease in the paper.

Using this crease, fold the corners up alongside it to look like this

This are also going to be unfolded, but this time you’re going to push in alongside the triangular folds you just made and undid.

Doing this once will result in this

Hold tight because tumblr won’t let me add more pictures. I’ll reblog will the rest of the instructions

lunarcatninja

Continuing on,

Do the other side of you haven’t already to get this

You’ll open these newly created flap to change which parts are touching

Leaving you with this

Then you start pulling the top “tabs” down

Do both sides to get the final folded form

Decorate as desired.

Hope this helps!

Hey folks, I’m on the hunt for an old text series that I can’t remember the name of or who even wrote it. It was a series about Jungkook (BTS) being in either a gang or the mafia with the other members and the reader works at a daycare and they somehow cross paths and the reader’s past comes back to haunt them since they used to be in a rival gang and they’ve been hiding from that gang and their brother who is in their old gang

These dudes are fucking legit. They don’t just show up one day in court, either, they actually make friends with the kids and let them know they have a support system and that there are people in the world who care about them and will always have their back. And less important, but also cool, is that the few times a couple of them have come into my cafe, they’ve been super friendly and polite and when I told one of the guys that I noticed his Bikers Against Child Abuse patch and wanted him to know how awesome I thought he was because of it, he got kind of shy and blushed and said, “The kids are the awesome ones, we just let them know they’re allowed to be brave.”

bebinn

The source is long, but so, so good. These men and women are available in 36 states, 24 hours a day to stand guard at home, in court, at school, even if the child has a nightmare. Many of them are survivors of childhood abuse as well, and know what it’s like to feel scared and alone.

In court that day, the judge asked the boy, “Are you afraid?” No, the boy said.

Pipes says the judge seemed surprised, and asked, “Why not?”

The boy glanced at Pipes and the other bikers sitting in the front row, two more standing on each side of the courtroom door, and told the judge, “Because my friends are scarier than he is.”

Bikers Against Child Abuse was founded in 1995 by a Native American child psychologist whose ride name is Chief, when he came across a young boy who had been subjected to extreme abuse and was too afraid to leave his house. He called the boy to reach out to him, but the only thing that seemed to interest the child was Chief’s bike. Soon, some 20 bikers went to the boy’s neighborhood and were able to draw him out of his house for the first time in weeks.

Chief’s thesis was that a child who has been abused by an adult can benefit psychologically from the presence of even more intimidating adults that they know are on their side. “When we tell a child they don’t have to be afraid, they believe us,” Arizona biker Pipes told azcentral.com. “When we tell them we will be there for them, they believe us.” ( Article)

More about BACA, from their site

uriesays

My parents are a part of this organization and they are metal af

They go on runs to protect the child if they feel even the slightest threatened no matter where. If the child needs them to go on vacation with them, they do. Bikers come from across the nation to watch over and take shifts for these kids. And the best part is once you’re adopted into this family as a BACA kid, you’re always one. Even when you’re 40 and the perp gets released from jail, they’ll come meet with you and find your best options for avoiding the person and maintaining the life you’ve built for yourself. Once a BACA child, always a BACA child. In Florida, there’s 100% rate for identifying the perp based on the child’s testimony. Why? Because BACA stands with the child and supports the child so they feel comfortable enough to point out their attacker.

What’s better than a badass biker gang being on your side???

Guys? This post changed my life. I saw this post. Forever ago. And thought it was only in america… and wished desperately that they could help me. But then I saw it again, during a bad episode, and checked their site. They aren’t just in the USA

They’re in Canada as well and probably other countries. I met and talked with a native guy who runs the place near me. His name is Shaman. I got in, and I’m considered a BACA child now. Despite being 17, turning 18 when I talked to them. They spent time with me when my abuser was over, they gave me therapy resources. They give you something called a ‘level 1′ where they go to your house with as many bikers as they can, i shit you not a solid 20-40 bikers came from even out of province, and met me. I got to choose my biker name and I got a vest with patches on it and my name on it. They all hugged a Teddybear before giving it to me, and told me if I ever felt the BACA bear was running out of love, to give them a call and they’d refill it for me, and then I got a ride on one of their bikes. Just a day or so ago I went to an annual party with them and they we ate food one of them cooked and had a lot of laughs.

I’ve never felt as loved as I did being a part of the BACA family. They also gave me dog tags with the names, and phone numbers of my 2 workers. So I can call them whenever I feel scared.

BACA is an absolutely wonderful group that will do everything in it’s power to help any child whos been abused.

And it doesn’t end when you’re 18 either. As long as you get in contact/get your level 1 before you’re 18? you’re ALWAYS a BACA kid. I’m 18 now and they still invite me to parties, ask me if I’m okay, and are there for me. They’re still trying to find me resources for therapy.

BACA has changed my fucking life.

I hope you all can read this, and reblog it knowing from someone who fucking been with them, that they are absolutely amazing.
