It’s extremely fucked up that some ppl try to make you feel stupid and immature for hoping for a better world. You say you want world peace and mfs think you need a pacifier; dawg, I just don’t want ppl dying from violence. This idea that ppl simply must die as casualties of war is misanthropic to say the least.
it’s ok if you’re scared. or tired. or unsure. or one million billion other complicated emotions at once. but i’ve decided things are going to be ok anyway. and i will hold that belief close to my heart no matter how scared or tired or lonely or depressed or one million billion other things i am. i will hold onto that. and if you’re scared, you can hold onto me. we can carry each other through
I am genuinely sorry for this, but my sister is dying. (I am redoing this entire post because despite the almost 13k notes, not enough help is coming. I have been posting/reblogging for almost 8 months to gather enough funds for her medication and now a much-needed surgery, but the fundraising post remains quite stagnant.) If I could only ask for your permission one by one, I genuinely would, but I am afraid of the possibility that Tumblr may consider our plea as spam. Also, if any of you want an even more elaborate explanation about her medical condition, kindly look into this account's pinned post or you can message me directly because Tumblr flagged the pinned post as "sensitive content" after attaching proof of how extremely disfigured her right arm/body is. At times, it is also kept hidden so not everyone is receiving a notification even after being repeatedly tagged. So, please understand.
This is the direct link to the fundraiser, and please look at the update to see/know more.
My older sister's health has declined drastically since the last week of December 2024, which is why I decided to take over this account as per her request. We never intended to resort to asking for monetary assistance online but we still don't have the funds to get her through. As I have mentioned above, you can look into this account's pinned post to see how deformed her right hand was (if you needed the not blurred one, please let me know because I cannot possibly upload the actual picture because her account might end up getting taken down) plus it can be quite graphic.
The entirety of her right arm was not only swollen, but blood kept seeping out of her knuckles, her palm, and her elbow. Protruding tumors/swelling have reached both of her breasts, too, and are affecting her shoulder/shoulder blades and even her spine, and now her neck. As I have said, please reach out to me if you want to see more proof/health updates because I cannot post the photos here as they are somewhat too graphic. There's a lot of blood loss.
If you could, please take some time to read her pinned post—please do. If you cannot donate, a reblog will still be highly appreciated. We need all the help we can get. I recently just turned 18, and am only working part-time jobs trying to keep our family afloat, and what I am earning is not enough to take care of my older sister and our paralytic mother. The hospital could stop providing treatment at any time if we cannot put together the amount we owe them and the amount needed to outsource some of the medication that their in-house pharmacy cannot supply. It is a matter of life and death so I am begging all of you to please consider helping us. Help us get through this, please.
If you want to be removed from being tagged, please message me directly, and I will immediately do as you like. I know that this may seem invasive but it is not our intention. We are just desperate, and have been running out of ways to keep my sister alive. I cannot offer anything in return other than an express my immense gratitude. I am sorry, and please consider helping us. Thank you very much.
WE STILL NEED AT LEAST $3,200 IN THE NEXT 48 HOURS, AND WE ARE STILL AT $120 RIGHT NOW. WE ONLY HAVE AT LEAST TWO DAYS LEFT. PLEASE HAVE MERCY AND DONATE. THIS HAS BEEN A SHORT-TERM GOAL FOR THE LAST 8 MONTHS NOW. AND DESPITE THE ALMOST 13K NOTES, WE ARE STILL IN NEED OF SAID AMOUNT BADLY. PLEASE HELP US. THE SWELLING ON HER NECK BURST WHICH RESULTED IN HER LOSING BLOOD AGAIN. SHE IS NOW STILL BEING OBSERVED, AND IS CURRENTLY INTUBATED. MY SISTER MIGHT END UP BEING DEPRIVED OF PROPER TREATMENT SOON AND THE POSSIBILITY OF SUFFERING FROM A CARDIAC ARREST AND EVEN A COMA IS IMMENSELY HIGH BECAUSE BOTH HER MAGNESIUM AND POTASSIUM ARE ALMOST DEPLETED. PLEASE HAVE MERCY. I CANNOT EMPHASIZE HOW EXTREMELY URGENT THIS IS. I DON'T WANT HER DEAD. PLEASE CONSIDER HELPING. PLEASE DONATE.
WE STILL NEED TO SECURE AT LEAST TWO BAGS OF BLOOD RIGHT NOW, TOO. PLEASE HELP MY SISTER OUT. SHE IS IN A CRITICAL CONDITION. I CANNOT EVEN POST THE PHOTOS/PROOF OF THE BLOOD AND PUS COMING OUT OF HER BODY WITHOUT TUMBLR TAKING IT DOWN OR TAGGING IT AS EXPLICIT CONTENT BUT YOU CAN MESSAGE ME DIRECTLY SO I COULD SHOW YOU JUST HOW SEVERE HER HEALTH HAS GOTTEN. IT IS INCOMPREHENSIBLY TERRIBLE. I WOULDN'T BE THIS DESPERATE IF IT WAS NOT A MATTER OF LIFE AND DEATH. PLEASE DONATE TO THE FUNDRAISING CAMPAIGN. WE HAVE BEEN TRYING TO COMPLETE THIS AMOUNT FOR 8 MONTHS NOW AND WE ARE STILL NOT GETTING ENOUGH HELP. PLEASE HELP US COMPLETE THIS AMOUNT BEFORE THE DAY ENDS. PLEASE HELP US SAVE HER.
I GENUINELY DON'T KNOW WHAT TO SAY ANYMORE TO APPEAL TO ANY OF YOU. I AM AT A LOSS FOR WORDS. MY SISTER IS FIGHTING FOR HER LIFE (ASIDE FROM ALL THE SWELLING ESPECIALLY ON HER LYMPH NODES, SHE IS ALSO IN A CRITICAL CONDITION DUE TO HER BODY SOMEWHAT NOT ABSORBING BOTH POTASSIUM AND MAGNESIUM WELL) AND WE ARE STILL SEEKING FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE TO AFFORD ALL THE MEDICAL PROCEDURE(S) SHE NEEDS TO STAY ALIVE. WE HAVE BEEN TRYING TO GATHER AID SINCE JUNE 9TH/DUE DATE SINCE JULY 14TH AND UP UNTIL TODAY, WE AREN'T CLOSE TO RAISING ENOUGH. AS I HAVE MENTIONED, I AM AFRAID THAT SHE MIGHT END UP GETTING A HEART ATTACK/GOING INTO COMA OR EVEN WORSE—DYING DUE TO COMPLICATIONS. I TRULY CANNOT EMPHASIZE HOW URGENT AND SEVERE HER HEALTH CONDITION IS. THREE DAYS IN A ROW NOW, THERE IS PUS LEAKING OUT OF HER LEFT BREAST. SO, PLEASE HELP US. PLEASE DONATE.
(Please look into the photos under the fundraiser as well to understand how urgent this is since Tumblr kept tagging whatever photos I post as "mature content". They kept hiding updates which is why it isn't getting any traction at all.) I have been asking around for help for 8 months now (wasn't able to post anything for almost two weeks as well despite staff insisting that the account isn't restricted/shadowbanned) but there is not much significant change at all. There are almost 13k notes, but it doesn't translate to donations.
So, I am deeply sorry if I am somehow offending you because I randomly tagged you. We are beyond desperate to spread this post and get enough help. I am begging you to please understand my desperation. Kindly donate, please. And see the pinned post on this account, if you want to know how awful her health is but be careful because the photos could be too graphic. I am really sorry. Please don't reprimand me.
If you want to be removed from being tagged, please message me directly, and I will immediately do as you like. I know that this may seem invasive but it is not our intention. I just don't know what to do anymore and I have been running out of ways to keep my sister alive. I cannot offer anything in return other than to express my immense gratitude. I am sorry, and please consider helping us. Thank you very much.
obsessed with the person on reddit who’s been reading thier mum who knows nothing about pokemon the bulbapedia descriptions and then she draws what she thinks they look like from that alone
i love you slightly unhinged old british storybook style pokemon that illustrate the importance of accurate text descriptions i hope reddit user BazF91 and his mum are having a great day <3
the new year may not be a completely fresh start, but it is a signpost on the journey of your life. take a moment to rest and reflect on where you’ve been. take some time to think about where you’d like to go next. forgive yourself for the things you haven’t been able to do. delight in planning for things you hope to do in the future. for one magical moment you have a bright new year with no mistakes in it yet. enjoy it. you’ve earned it. ❤
Folks. I have been seeing people say stuff like "just cook it to 165⁰, it will be fine"
NO. Do not tell people this, do not do it yourself. Most people are not trained in food safety and do not know how to properly reheat food. Listeria is not something to fuck around with. It is highly virulent, and it causes meningitis/encephalitis. I AM a highly trained food safety professional, and if I had any of these products in my house I would throw it away, and anything else it may have come in contact with, and sanitize my fridge with bleach on top of it. Do. Not. Risk it.
Food contaminated with Clostridium botulinum is not possible to make safe to eat, point blank PERIOD. The bacteria themselves can be destroyed, but NOT THE TOXIN THEY PRODUCE. WHICH IS WHAT ACTUALLY CAN KILL YOU.
Get your money back if you need to, but please for love of all you hold dear, don't eat it or feed it to someone else. Again, we're not talking about a few days of an upset stomach. We're talking spinal taps and needing to be on a ventilator because all your muscles are paralyzed and you can't even *breathe* on your own.
Also, I would be very cautious about eating any ready to eat, prepared food at all right now. Which sucks because a lot of us are busy and rely on convenience foods; I do too. Listeria and botulinum can survive in low oxygen, cold (below 41⁰) environments, which is enough to prevent other types of bacteria growth, but not those freaks. If it's something that you can reheat, make sure it gets to at least 165⁰ and holds that temp for at least 17 seconds, and take temps in several areas. If it's cooked in the microwave, stir it halfway through cooking, again after cooking, WAIT TWO MINUTES AND *THEN* TAKE THE TEMPERATURE. Microwaves do not heat food evenly. Stirring it and letting the temperature even out is a crucial step in making sure it's as safe as possible.
But again, if you know for absolute sure any food in your house is part of a recall, don't eat it or serve it. Get your money back or just throw it away.
Hello person having transgender thoughts but convinced they aren't trans because they don't have the requisite amount of dysphoria they think they need
Hi I transitioned without even thinking I had dysphoria. Like later in hindsight I can go "oh that's probably what it was" but for the first year of my transition I was straight up like "I like being a guy but I like being a girl WAY more" and you can do that!! There is no prerequisite amount of suffering needed to make yourself happier.
Being transgender isn't something you have to earn, you just have to decide if you want it. And if you change your mind, that's okay too. There's no one serving a, a toll gate of transgender identity and saying you have to be this dysphoric to enter, all you have to do is just decide for yourself.
Another thing is that if you base your identity on a specific form of suffering you experience, you might find it hard to get better because the absence of pain might feel like a loss of identity.
so today a public health official guy came into my class to give a lecture on disaster awareness and he was talking about house fires and mentioned that the reason people most likely die during a house fire is because they refuse to leave their pet inside or they go back to get their pet. and right when he said this my friend immediately turned his head and looked at me and in that moment I had the most complete and genuine acceptance take over my body. I would 100% in front of my family and Jesus himself walk straight back into some raging inferno that was once my house to go get my fat cat. I nodded back
the best part of this post is reading all the tags from animal people who would also go back to save their pets. like no hesitation. walk backwards from heaven straight back into hell. someone even said they would go back for their fish. amazing
If you are a person who would walk into a blazing inferno for your animal, and your pet has free movement around the house, here’s a training exercise that could help save you both:
1) Set off your smoke alarm or play the sound on your phone (if your home has no smoke alarms, pease get some!)
2) stand BY THE FRONT DOOR to hand out treats
Do this a couple times and then keep it up NO EXCEPTIONS. Accidentally set the alarm off cooking? Treats by the door. Smoke alarm sound on TV? Treats by the door. Changing your smoke alarm batteries twice a year like you’re supposed to? Give them a test run and your pets get treats by the door.
Most dogs and cats will clue in VERY quickly that hearing that specific sound means go to the front door and wait for treats.
If there’s an emergency and even if you leave by another way, you will still know the most likely place your pet(s) is and can direct first responders to help.
You can also do this for any other kind of emergency alarm. My friend had both her cats trained to go to the front door for a tsunami siren.
