Donations to help Venezuelan victims after the earthquake
Hiii so this is very different from my usual posts. Idk if you guys know but July 5th is Venezuela's Independence day, which would usually be a nice day off for us but if you've seen the news you'll know two earthquakes (7.2 and 7.5) hit northen Venezuelan on june 29th.
Thankfully I live far enough from the epicenter of the earthquake that nothing too major happened but I can't say the same for everyone else. The goverment is not only doing nothing but actively stopping international help from reaching us, people have to dig through the rubble with their own hands just to reach the people buried, ordinary citizens had to save their friends and put in the work that the government isn't doing and are working together with the international rescue groups that have come because no one else will do it.
My people have shown great kindness and bravery after the earthquake, but this is such a massive disaster to our country that help is still needed. Which is why I decided to share links to any international user that wants to help but doesn't know how.
DO NOT DONATE TO THE VENEZUELAN RED CROSS. IT IS UNDER THE GOVERNMENT'S CONTROL AND THAT MONEY WON'T BE USED TO HELP US
Below I'll share donation links that have been proven to help the victims. Even if one dollar could make all the difference and if you can't donate then at least you can share so this info can reach other people too. I know guilt can be all consuming in times like this but sharing info can do so much for others.
And if you are considering comisioning an artist please consider talking with a venezuelan artist as many have lost their home or are in critical condicions and are doing art to sustain themselves.

Do not quit alcohol cold turkey
Do not suddenly stop drinking alcohol as a new years resolution if you have been consistently using alcohol most days
Your body gets used to the presence of the alcohol as a sedative in your system
Suddenly removing the sedative you are chemically accustomed to is like suddenly removing the wall you are leaning on - you will topple over
You brain electricity gets overexcited
This causes seizures
This causes sudden onset dementia (Wernicke's encephalopathy)
This causes brain damage
If you use alcohol often (even in moderate amounts)
Or in large amounts
Or you have ever noticed you get shakey tremors and anxious when you stop drinking
Then your body is chemically dependant and you need to be very careful coming off alcohol otherwise you will cause brain damage
Slowly wean down the amount you drink over days or weeks
Talk to a doctor about your goals to quit and ask about support options
Medically supported withdrawal is a lot safer
If alcohol withdrawal goes badly there is a 15% chance it will kill you.
Do not go this alone
You deserve to be safe
Please reblog this or other similar posts and talk about it with people around you
Support your friends to be safe
Remember the Cold Turkey Rule:
Quitting drugs can make you feel like you're dying
Quitting alcohol can make you actually die
Do No Do This Alone
You Are Worth Helping
respectfully, the person above me is ignorant to the point of misinformation. drug withdrawals can and will kill you, and HAS killed people. do not quit ANYTHING cold turkey. the above reply, whether intentional or not, reads as saying "alcohol withdrawals are actually dangerous and withdrawal from drugs only feels dangerous :3 you just have to wait it out and push through your divine punishment i mean recovery :3" which is blatantly untrue and will absolutely kill people.
please be extremely cautious weaning off your DOC (preferably with medical assistance, but like, I've been there) regardless of drug class, but you need to be ESPECIALLY CAREFUL with withdrawal of these:
opioids (oxycodone/oxycontin, hydrocodone [Vicodin], tramadol [Ultram], heroin, morphine, hydromorphone/dihydromorphinone [Dilaudid], kratom [for all intents and purposes])
methamphetamine
cocaine
alcohol (as mentioned)
benzodiazapines (alprazolam [Xanax], clonazepam [Klonopin], diazepam [Valium], lorazepam [Ativan]
barbiturates (the most common ones are probably gonna be street names, look up a list)
any kind of prescription medication
help exists, there is a light at the end of your tunnel, but you absolutely cannot do it alone. "powering through" or suffering silently will do the exact opposite of what you're trying to. you want to get better, please don't accidentally kill yourself because you wouldn't ask for help out of fear/guilt/shame. right now the focus is on surviving, you can deal with the emotional impacts of detox/rehab/harm reduction later. because you'll be alive.
im going to be sick. Mississippi police shot and killed a 1 year old baby boy. Kohen Wiley. he and his mother were just playing.
"someone ended it all before it could even start." - Carlos, Kohen's grandfather.
"Family say the aunt was driving the car and the mother was in the front passenger seat holding her child when the shooting happened."
a mother went to the grocery store with her 1 year old child and. the cops. murdered her baby boy. he was in her arms. in her arms. in her arms.
the cop who did this does not deserve to live. Kohen should still be alive. despicable. beyond words. there are no words anymore. the hatred of Black people is a plague on the world.
may Kohen's spirit find peace and be reborn to his mothers arms in another life. may his family grieve together in peace. fuck the colonial entity known as the United States.
please spread the word about the murder of this baby and the injuring of his family. if anyone can find the name of the officer, add it in a reblog please. same with the mother and aunt, and their current condition. i will update this post if i find it first.
Child was fatally shot and his mother’s friend is wounded after Senatobia police responded to shoplifting call
Kohen Wiley, the slain child, was in the car at the center of the shooting on Sunday alongside his mother and her friend, said Marquell Bridges, a local community advocate who is helping the family find legal representation. Kohen’s mother was physically unharmed, but her friend was seriously injured, said Bridges, the president and founder of an advocacy group called the Building Bridges Coalition.
Apparently a community rally was organized in Senatobia (video of protest included at that link) & the family has legal council.
The community gathered outside Senatobia City Hall on Tuesday evening as they remained concerned after a police officer shot and killed a 1-year-old over the weekend. Dozens of Senatobia natives were present at the rally, calling for justice for Kohen Kartier Wiley. “Today it’s in their community, tomorrow it’s in mine, tomorrow it might be on my doorstep. I have a child. I have grandchildren too,” Aretha Lester said. [...] Wiley’s family has retained prominent civil rights attorney Ben Crump to represent them. “A 1-year-old child is dead because police officers in Mississippi opened fire on a car in a crowded Walmart parking lot,” Crump said in a statement. “Kohen Wiley was a baby. His mother, who has not been charged with any crime, says she was trying to communicate to officers that there was a baby in the car. They fired anyway, leading to the death of an innocent 1-year-old. We intend to seek justice for baby Kohen and the life that was stolen from him.”
Also gonna add that Marquell Bridges livestreamed the protest on Facebook, and the cops fucking tear gassed the protestors (seen around 17:20, or see here).
They tear gassed protestors, at a protest over the murder of a 1-year old and the potentially fatal injuring of another woman, and the traumatizing of an entire family.
And the police department has the gall to ask for "patience." There is no saving the United States.
“Racism is dead, this doesnt affect you”
(Something said to me more than once by different people) first of yes tf I do second this
I don’t like this country, and im so sorry to the victim and victims family
I promise you things will get so much better when you start processing people’s behavior as information rather than a verdict on your self-worth. If someone doesn’t text back, suddenly pulls away, whatever it may be, the solution isn’t to put on a tap dance for them and try to regain their approval. It’s not to crash out on them and try to force them to react a certain way. It’s just to take a step back, take a deep breath, and assess what this tells you. What’s this saying about them? What’s this saying about you??
This is what's so fucked up about "nothing that requires the labor of others is a human right".
The labor is already being done under capitalism. The laborers are already being underpaid under capitalism.
When you propose removing the greedy profiteers and paying the workers a reasonable wage, people call that "slavery" while they have no problem with the current system.
They're not even trying to make sense.
its devastating when someone, in good faith, draw a trans woman who looks like me: tall, scruffy facial hair, wide shoulders, far apart boobs, big nose and then the trans community dog piles them in the comments saying its evil to depict such a negative stereotype like that.
like actually fuck off fuck off fuck off FUCK OFF FUCK OFF!!!!! and then theyll fight me when i reply with my pov! like christ lets all just chill the math out please for the christ of love
it’s so weird because the trans women it’s describing are also describing cis people of color? Like, I’m sorry if I’m being weird about it but it feels like their idea of a woman was like based on misogyny/transmisogyny and racism
OH MY GOD… my baby Qais’s heart stopped tonight. I ran through darkness carrying him, screaming for help, until doctors said severe anemia from his bleeding nearly killed him again.
Today we ran out of clean bandages and medicine, and I had no money left to replace them. I never imagined I would beg strangers to help me care for my child.
I am begging you with everything I have left—please don’t let this happen again. Donate now, because your donation could be the only thing that keeps my baby alive.
Gofundme - Vetted#679
After they stabilized him, I held his hand and felt how cold it was, like life was slipping away quietly. Please, I beg you, don’t leave us—donate now and help me save him.
The doctor told me that due to malnutrition and lack of treatment, my baby Qais has developed severe anemia. I have no money to get what he needs. Please, can you donate now so I can buy his medicine and food?
What is the meaning of international law at this point when some countries are allowed complete impunity to do whatever they want without consequences
you guys make such pretty gifs with such pretty captions and coloring like even when i dont go to a fandom i'll see gifs and be like wow that person is cool and that is still true after over a decade on this site. i think gifs are cool and that is why i'm stranded here forever. i love u gifs and gifmakers
The Death of the Digital Ecosystem: Why Decoupling Notes Destroys Tumblr
@staff (Edit: I already sent this to Tumblr Support under the feedback option. I encourage everyone to send feedback on how bad this feature actually is).
For years, the total note count on a post served as a universal metric of a piece of content's impact. Whether a user liked the original post or a reblog fifteen branches deep, that engagement flowed back to the source. This ensured that the original artist, writer, or editor received the full credit for the viral success of their work.
Under this new system, engagement is trapped within the specific reblog a user happens to see on their dashboard. If a massive, high-traffic blog reblogs a piece of art from a small creator, every like and reblog that occurs through that larger account stays with them. The original creator is left with a stagnant note count on their own dashboard while their work generates thousands of interactions for someone else.
Erasure of Creator Visibility
Instead of seeing one post with 10,000 notes, a creator may now have to hunt through dozens of different reblog chains to find where the conversation is actually happening.
If the notes no longer flow back to the original post, the creator loses the ability to see who is enjoying their work, what the tags say, and how the community is responding.
On a platform where engagement often dictates visibility, splitting that engagement into tiny, unlinked fractions makes it significantly harder for original works to gain momentum compared to the high-reach blogs that reblog them.
Incentivizing the "Big Blog" Monopoly
This system rewards accounts that have already established a large following at the direct expense of the smaller accounts that actually produce the content. It transforms reblogging from a method of sharing into a method of acquisition.
When a reblog functions as its own independent post with its own note count, the incentive to click through to the original source disappears. The platform is transitioning from a collaborative ecosystem into a standard social media feed where the person who posts the content last—not the person who made it—reaps the rewards.
Impact on Collaborative Conversations
Tumblr’s unique culture is built on the reblog chain: a chronological, evolving conversation. By allowing users to like or reblog "any part" of the chain as an independent entity, the platform is breaking the narrative thread.
If engagement is siloed into specific branches, the incentive to add to a conversation is replaced by an incentive to simply own a piece of the engagement. This change doesn't encourage conversation. It encourages the commodification of individual posts within a chain, making it harder for the original voice to ever be heard over the noise of the rebloggers.
The Disincentive to Create
Perhaps the most damaging aspect of this update is the psychological toll on the creative community. When the platform actively diverts credit and engagement away from the source, it destroys the motivation to share original work at all.
For many, the reward for posting is seeing how far their work travels. If that travel is now invisible or attributed to others, the labor of creating becomes thankless.
This system makes creators want to share nothing. If the platform is built to harvest a creator's effort for the benefit of curator blogs, the logical response is to stop providing the raw material. I am one leaning into this category. Without us creators, the curator blogs have nothing to curate.
By making it harder to protect and track one's own work, the platform is effectively telling creators that their presence is secondary to the conversations happening around their work: conversations they may no longer even be able to find.
alright pack it up i’m not crying over this website
you know even if a homeless person or a starving person is in that position because of their own "bad decisions" i don't care. it doesn't matter. no supposed financial misstep is enough to condemn someone to homelessness or poverty.
Search and rescue teams do not ask if a hiker was properly equipped and prepared before they go out to look for them. EMTs do not ask if a driver checked their mirrors before they take them to the hospital. Lifeguards do not ask if a swimmer made a mistake by going into a riptide before they dive in after them. Judgement doesn't help anyone, including you, the person doing the judging. Just help people. Just shut the fuck up and help people.
