I don't do "charities ask".

Go bother someone else.

Hello sorry for tagging. I am very sick, my asthma is at its maximum level, my nose freezes, I have no medicine or food. I am in bad shape financially, I am a black disabled, who uses multiple medications, I pay for my food and lodging

Unfortunately I do not have all the resources to keep me safe, that is why I need your help, whatever you can contribute to me will be of great help.

PSA!!! EVERYONE!!!

THIS IS A BOT!!!

No one likes a bot, but some people don’t know what to look for and get anxious at the prospect of someone asking for help! So this is a perfect example of what to look for!

1.) They will try to make you feel bad/empathetic towards them first. Usually describing whatever horrible situation they are trying to sell.

2.) Once they have you feeling bad they ask for you to give them money. There’s usually no link, they just ask you to pay/fund/contribute to whatever cause it is they described in the first half.

2.1) IMPORTANT! If there is a link DO NOT CLICK IT!

I’m sure you don’t need me to tell you, a person on the Internet, not to click on suspicious links. However! Just in case, I am saying now. Do not click on suspicious links.

If get messages like this and are worried it’s an actual person and they do need help, I want you to ask yourself these questions:

“If they need help, why is a trustworthy fund raising site not mentioned?”

“Why are they sending this specifically to me instead of posting to reach a wider audience?”

“Why is there no goal as to what amount would help them?”

“Why are there generalizations and not specifics? Why are there no prices or numbers involved?”

And if you’re still unsure it’s OK to ask a friend to look it over! Or if you’re too anxious, remember, it is not your job to look after people. It’s okay to be unsure and it’s okay to take care of yourself first! Keep yourself safe first and foremost.

If you know it’s a bot after then report the ask and delete it, if you’re not sure it’s also okay to report and delete it! Your safety comes first!

Also normal people in need of help don’t typically send it 4 times in a row…

This has been my “Ask Bot” PSA, stay safe out there ya’lls and know that it’s okay to be confused or concerned! Being empathetic isn’t a crime, but people trying to steal your money because of it is.

HAIL, GRUMPY WIZARD! you FIND YOURSELF SCOURING the MOUNTAINS of YELLOWCHEESE, in SEARCH of the MAGICAL CHEESE HAT. there are CHEESE TUNNELS all about this DAIRY ROCK, and it be best to STAY ON YOUR TOES two CHEESE GOBLINs come RUNNING OUT of a CHEESE TUNNEL. they seem MISCHEVIOUS and SILLY. one of them puts up a SIGN that says "GO HERE IN THIS CHEESE TUNNEL I PROMISE IT IS NOT A TRAP" "escuse me wizard you should totally go in THIS cheese tunnel it would be so funny and totally not a trap with deadly spikes in it" they GIGGLE and GORGLE. something is CHEESY, and it isn't THE MOUNTAIN you have in your inventory: THE GREASE BALL (can absorb things with the 'CHEESE' tag. kept in a protective sealant out of fear of dropping it on the CHEESE MOUNTAIN) your TRUSTY MAGICAL CANDLE (you can cast GLEEBLE'S WISTFUL DANCE with it) RUTHERFOOGLE, the POODLE DOODLE (a DOODLE of a POODLE) your RATIONS (a half-eaten 16oz box of honeycomb cereal) THE STAGE IS SET

WHAT DOEST THOU DO

Something STINKS with these goblins and it ain't the cheese. I don't trust 'em one bit.

I ignore their trap and get out my TRUSTY MAGICAL CANDLE. I cast GLEEBLE'S WISTFUL DANCE on the pair of them and demand they share all information pertaining to the Magical Cheese Hat.

How would you describe your first crush?

homophobic and racist now, but a sweetheart when I knew him(in 5th grade). he was artistic and funny and that's all it took for 8 year old me to fall in love for the next 2 years.
