Please Help My Mom
Normally may parents would never ask for help, but my dad lost his job recently and hasn’t been able to get another one. Bills are coming due and if they can’t pay them, they’ll lose their house. My dad’s retirement is supposed to be kicking in next year, but they could really use some help to get back on their feet. So please, if you have anything to spare donate to them.

Look
I know some people might not care about this. I know some people think this is to complicated. And I know some people think this won’t affect them. But here’s the thing, IT WILL definantly effect you no matter where you live. It will effect you tumblr user, you reddit users, and you watching youtube.
If this law gets passed then it’s gonna inspire the rest of the world. It was just like how in the USA.
The video is barley sixteen minutes and less if you skip ahead.
IT IS THE TRANSLATED AND SIMPLE VERSION OF ARTICLE 13’S IMPLICATIONS
Don’t have time to watch? Then just reblog. It takes two seconds on phone and two clicks on a computor
Saying that man and woman are the only genders is actually LESS nuanced than saying that earth, water, air, and fire are the only elements.
This is fantastic.
GUH.
Lookin’ at you, Tumblr.
Grow up. Not everything is made to your demands, the people who make the decisions don’t care, and you’re only hurting people.
FREE BOOK OFFER WOW
I don’t even know how many people even still notice me and my blog due to my recent absence, but anyway… Hi! Would you like a free copy of my first book? As in actual paperback, not digital, you can hold it in your hands and feel that smooth matte cover?
What’s it about?
It’s about four friends who get caught up in a conflict between ancient gods, and has folklore and mythology from all over, as well as a diverse cast. It’s not a YA romance, but it will try to trick you into thinking it is at the start, until someone’s face gets eaten off. Basically this is “dark fantasy,” which borders on horror. So there are creepy things and blood. (But also oblivious gay boys pining, snark, and friendship.)
Why am I giving away copies?
Because I’ve recently revised it, adding a prologue and changing the first chapter, but have a BUNCH of copies of the original version. Please go ahead and read that new prologue and revised chapter by clicking this sentence, and if you decide you want a copy you can just skip to chapter 2 once you get it.
What’s the catch?
I would appreciate it if you could leave an honest review once you have finished. By honest, I mean be truthful if you think it blows for whatever reason, but at least leave a review. I’m an indie author, and reviews are something that can be ridiculously difficult for us to get, yet so much rides on us having a good amount. It would be awesome if you could leave one on Goodreads and/or Amazon, at the very least, but even if it’s just a blog post, that would be swell.
Are there restrictions?
Yes. US residents only, sorry. I’ll put a cap at 20 for now, so only the first 20 people to message me for a copy will be able to get one.
How to claim one:
Either send me a message here (not through the instant messenger service, but the little thing that looks like an envelope), or email me at dlwainright(at)thehollowsun(dot)com. Please include your full name (or name you want package addressed to) and your mailing address.
ONE FINAL NOTE
If you have already purchased the first/second/third book of my series and left a review for it/them, please message me and I will send you the next book you do not have yet, free of charge. Because that seems fair to me. Again, though, I just ask that you leave an honest review, like I assume you’ve already done for the previous one(s).
Listen to “Oath”, the theme song for Kingdom Hearts 3
People who only played KH1 and KH2 and none of the “spin off” titles going into KH3 like…
Thank GOD.
“If autism isn’t caused by environmental factors and is natural why didn’t we ever see it in the past?”
We did, except it wasn’t called autism it was called “Little Jonathan is a r*tarded halfwit who bangs his head on things and can’t speak so we’re taking him into the middle of the cold dark forest and leaving him there to die.”
Or “little Jonathan doesn’t talk but does a good job herding the sheep, contributes to the community in his own way, and is, all around, a decent guy.” That happened a lot, too, especially before the 19th century.
Or, backing up FURTHER
and lots of people think this very likely,
“Oh little Sionnat has obviously been taken by the fairies and they’ve left us a Changeling Child who knows too much, and asks strange questions, and uses words she shouldn’t know, and watches everything with her big dark eyes, clearly a Fairy Child and not a Human Like Us.”
The Myth of the Changeling child, a human baby apparently replaced at a young age by a toddler who “suddenly” acts “strange and fey” is an almost textbook depiction of autistic children.
To this day, “autism warrior mommies” talk about autism “stealing” their “sweet normal child” and have this idea of “getting their real baby back” which (in the face of modern science) indicates how the human psyche actually does deal with finding out their kid acts unlike what they expected.
Given this evidence, and how common we now know autism actually is, the Changeling myth is almost definitely the result of people’s confusion at the development of autistic children.
Weirdly enough, that legend is now comforting to me.
I think it’s worth noting that many like me, who are diagnosed with ASD now, would probably have been seen as just a bit odd in centuries past. I’m only a little bit autistic; I can pass for neurotypical for short periods if I work really hard at it. I have a lack of talent in social situations, and I’m prone to sensory overload or you might notice me stimming.
But here’s the thing: life is louder, brighter and more intense and confusing than it has ever been. I live on the edge of London and I rarely go into the centre of town because it’s too overwhelming. If I went back in time and lived on a farm somewhere, would anyone even notice there was anything odd about me? No police sirens, no crowded streets that go on for miles and miles, no flickery electric lights. Working on a farm has a clear routine. I’d be a badass at spinning cloth or churning butter because I find endless repetition soothing rather than boring.
I’m not trying to romanticise the past because I know it was hard, dirty work with a constant risk of premature death. I don’t actually want to be a 16th century farmer! What I’m saying is that disability exists in the context of the environment. Our environment isn’t making people autistic in the sense of some chemical causing brain damage. But we have created a modern environment which is hostile to autistic people in many ways, which effectively makes us more disabled. When you make people more disabled, you start to see more people struggling, failing at school because they’re overwhelmed, freaking out at the sound of electric hand dryers and so on. And suddenly it looks like there’s millions more autistic people than existed before.
“…disability exists in the context of the environment.”
Reblog for disability commentary.
That last paragraph is absolutely important.
Disability funding cut has essentially left me to die
I’m bedbound with CRPS.
The government wants to deprive me of carers to provide food/water to my bed.
IT WOULD DEHYDRATE ME TO DEATH.
Jan 13: ONLY 45 MINUTES LEFT to raise $1,875 $1758 for disability care. Non-payment could terminate my care, and I WOULD NOT SURVIVE.
EXTREMELY URGENT: ONLY 45 minutes left to raise another $1758!!!!! This is dire. it’s looking EXTREMELY UNLIKELY to reach the target on time. And MY LIFE ITSELF is at stake. Please, PLEASE donate.
My CRPS leaves me permanently bedbound, unable to even walk to food/water
Without paid carers, I’d literally STARVE AND DEHYDRATE.
Despite medical evidence, the government has now refused me care (deprivation is widespread: [1] [2] [3] [4])
Raising enough donations for my care is now A MATTER OF LIFE AND DEATH.
Lack of paid cleaning could get me evicted within 14 days (instead of 3 months) and PERMANENTLY BANNED from rental subsidies. Being BEDBOUND, HOMELESSNESS COULD KILL ME.
$2102 for ongoing care + $1815 for debts etc must be gradually raised by Jan 14 (ET) through strict daily goals. Without payment, my care can be terminated, with potentially fatal results.
RECURRING DONATIONS (monthly/weekly/etc) could guarantee my ongoing care and would prevent CONSTANT FEARS FOR MY LIFE
PLEASE DONATE HERE Counter must reach: at least $27,610 AUD To exclude expended old donations
Recurring donations for my care can be made here & must be **registered at this link**. I can’t survive without paid carers to provide food, water & cleaning.
hey american followers
canadians reblogged fcc & net neutrality stuff for you so you had access to information - can you lend a hand and help us now?
Context (please share this post!):
Bell, Cineplex, Rogers and Shaw are trying to censor the internet and force the end of net neutrality in Canada.
Please share this. I’m scared to death that because the internet’s so focused on the US, that saving net neutrality in Canada won’t get as much attention or support
WHAT I DIDN’T EVEN KNOW FUCK
i know beginner artists are annoyed at the word ‘practice’ being thrown at them by every other artist but i honestly think some of you need to understand the harsh truth. practice is really the only way to improve your art. there are no shortcuts, no tips, no nothing that can turn you into that artist you wanna be. i’m still learning but i knew that frustration well a few months ago. but i had to learn the hard way that i wasn’t going anywhere if i didn’t work. you 👏will👏not👏get👏better👏with👏out👏practice👏 !!!! you will not magically turn into a ‘good’ artist overnight. start working. look up references. study anatomy. practice poses and expressions. PRACTISE
This blog did not and will not send requests for bitcoin donations.
There seems to be a virus or some sort of malware going around causing blogs to “send out” chat messages to blogs that they follow asking for help with the purchase of certain items through donations of seemingly small amounts using bitcoin and adds a link to the message.
The message goes as following (at least the first message I got went like this): “Hi there buddy. I need help, I’m trying to buy a laptop and I can’t afford it. I’m about 0.36$ short, and I’d really appreciate if you could help me and transfer some money to me via bitcoin using this *link*.”
The small details in the message seems to have a few variations with the greeting, amount and purchased item showing up in different variations from formal to friendly, from 0.016 to 2$ and from a phone case to a laptop among others.
The blogs that are affected send out the messages to blogs that they follow for a long time mostly, so you are most likely to receive the message from a long time, active follower whose name you might recognize or a mutual etc. The blogs that are affected are not spam bots but actual active followers who follow the recipient for months or years and most likely the blogger who “sent” the message is unaware of the message being sent.
DO NOT OPEN THE LINK.
Opening up the link will cause the virus to spread even more and infect your computer/mobile with any sort of malware.
If you have received a message of that sort from this blog please know that it was not sent by me or within my control and ignore/delete the message without clicking the link.
How To Actually Fight For Net Neutrality
There’s a lot of big, wordy articles going around tumblr right now, and they’re all great. But I wanted to make a mastpost of sorts of all the actions you can take and sites/bots that are here to help.
battleforthenet - The main hub for all things net neutrality. Fill out a form in seconds to e-mail your rep, or enter your phone number and a prerecorded message will call you, tell you exactly what to do and provide a script before connecting you with your representative. You can also set up a daily call.
Verizon Protests - Protests are happening at Verizon stores across the country on Dec 14th.
5 calls - This site is my favorite for calls. They provide a script and directions for calling the FCC, senators, and local state rep.
Resistbot - A phenominal service for those who cannot call, this bot will contact your rep on your behalf. However, every time I try to use it, they are busy.
Many of you are hitting the same roadblock I am: Mailboxes are full. So what do we do at that point? We send letters. Go to WhoIsMyRepresentative.com and enter your zip code to find addresses for your senators and house reps. You can use the phone script from the sites above, or compose your own note, or simply write “I am your constituent and I want you to fight to keep net neutrality.”
I know a lot of this is very overwhelming and hopefully this makes things easy and straightforward. You can send an e-mail, make 4 phone calls, and write a letter in less than 10 minutes. Please take the time to do so.
Very, very important. Please take 5 minutes out of your day and speak up.
We need to take action!!
If you don’t know about Net Neutrality well you need to know about it now. This is no joke or a game because if we don’t do something living expenses are going be harder to meet.
If you thought being a college student is expensive bc of books and tuition imagine what you’ll be paying just to do a research paper.
If you were against paying for YouTube red well it won’t matter bc you’ll have to pay just to access the website. This goes for all social media sites as well. You’ll have to pay to access your email.
Forget paying for basic internet speed you’ll be paying for packages that will only allow you to access certain websites. It’s these packages is the reason why many cut cable and only pay for Netflix. To access the internet will become more expensive and controlled. Let that sink in if it hasn’t already.
That is why we need to take action. And this post will make it easy for you to do that.

Not a talk on the phone type of person well fear not you can pre record your message by downloading the STANCE APP
If you’re not from US:
Singal boost this. Reblog this and spread it like wildfire. Because if they get rid of Net Neutrality it will affect you as well.
We only have until December 14th, 2017. You have no excuse not to take action I’ve gave you different options how to take action. This is important and for the best results contact daily.
Singal boost this! Spread this like wildfire. Take action!!
Listen, I’m not saying the loss of net neutrality would necessarily be the first step in creating a dystopian future, but it could totally be the first step in creating a dystopian future.
It opens the door for service providers to just block sites that they don’t like, or to only allow sites that they approve. Then that means governments can do it.
Free communication is vital to organizing a populace and starting a revolution. It already looks bad enough, but the loss of net neutrality would pave the way for a very dangerous future indeed.
This is going to matter.
IF YOU ARE READING THIS, CHANCES ARE YOU GO ON THE INTERNET EVERYDAY. THE FCC IS NOW PLANNING ON REPEALING NET NEUTRALITY. THIS MEANS THAT POPULAR WEBSITES WILL RUN SLOWLY UNTIL YOU PAY AN EXTRA FEE. WE WOULD NO LONGER HAVE THE PRIVILEGE OF USING WEBSITES AND RESEARCHING FOR FREE.
TEXT ‘RESIST’ AT 50409 AND TELL YOUR SENATORS THAT NET NEUTRALITY NEEDS TO STAY.
Seriously. Resistbot is great. Text it. It lets you write a letter it then faxes to the offices of your congresspeople and senators. If you keep getting told that ‘messages are full’ when you try to call on the phone, try Resistbot.
Also, if you have anxiety about speaking to people on the phone, Resistbot requires no human interaction. You write a letter via text, resistbot does the rest.
I just did mine!!! It took less than 3 minutes. seriously guys, taking 3-5 minutes out of your day to contact your senator or congressman for FREE can help save the internet.
It’s so easy, you guys, seriously.
Okay, not Undertale but this shit is SUPER IMPORTANT KIDS so please, take five minutes out of your day to do this! If you can’t be bothered, we can’t be friends anymore.
This isn’t in line with my usual blog content but please take a moment to do this. It’s so important, guys.
Huge thanks to @thenib for having me make this comic! If Tumblr’s resizing makes parts illegible, you can also read the nicer original version over on The Nib’s website: “Fatness, Femininity, and the Media We Deserve”
