For my people who work in the fast food or restaurant industry. Do you ever wonder what goes through customers heads when they are rude or outright lie to or about you? Like what is the purpose?

Guys, the first images of Irma’s level of devastation are coming out of Barbuda and it’s heartbreaking. The President of Barbuda says that 90% of the island is uninhabitable, upwards of 60% of the TOTAL population are now homeless because the hurricane destroyed virtually every building and home on the island, and that the estimated damage is valued at no less than $200 million dollars. That’s money a small island like that doesn’t have. They’re saying it’s going to take years to rebuild and Hurricane Jose is right behind Irma on the same path which means they could be hit twice. This is just one of the islands being affected.

Please, show up for the Caribbean like you did for Houston. There is no safety net for any of these islands including mine. They’ll rely entirely on foreign aid. Find local charities or global trustworthy charities (NOT the Red Cross) and make a donation asking them to aid the Caribbean. There’s whole countries being turned into rubble with no financial means to repair their infrastructures. They’re going to need help.

[fratboykate]

For the hundreds of people replying or in my inbox asking “Why not the Red Cross?!”:

Google is free.

Why The Red Cross Faces Backlash on Harvey Relief Efforts [Washington Post]

Red Cross Built Exactly 6 Homes For Haiti With Nearly Half A Billion Dollars In Donations [Huffington Post]

Red Cross Exec Doesn’t Know What Portion Of Donations Go To Harvey Relief [NPR]

Report: Red Cross Spent 25 Percent Of Haiti Donations On Internal Expenses [NPR]

Seriously, guess where I found all of those in two solid minutes of searching? Google. Even better, they didn’t charge me a penny for it. 

Stop wanting things to be spoonfed to you. While you waited for someone to link you to sources, you could’ve done it yourself and already donated to people who desperately need it. 

[fratboykate]

Because people are also asking where to donate instead of the Red Cross:

MercyCorps [89% rating on Charity Navigator]

Heart To Heart International [97% rating on Charity Navigator]

Direct Relief [100% rating on Charity Navigator]

Habitat For Humanity [83% rating on Charity Navigator // Because with islands like Barbuda 90% destroyed and French St. Martin said to be 95% destroyed then people are going to need homes built]

Catholic Relief Services [90% rating on Charity Navigator // For those who would want to donate to a religious organization]

If there is a note or comments section on their donation page please do let them know that you would want your money to go to their Caribbean relief efforts. Houston and Florida have the US government backing them in whatever they will need but these islands will have very little except for these charities to fall back if they have any hope of rebuilding what seems to be entire countries in some cases. For the people who lost everything even a few bucks will go a long way. 

For the most part I would suggest staying away from privately launched GoFundMes unless you know the person directly. Ultimately, you just never know where those funds are going to end up and if your money will be used wisely. Sure, the same can be said for charity organizations but at least there is a better shot at possibly helping through them. The five listed above are world known and have been studied by charity oversight organizations. It’s as close to perfect as we’re going to get.

Hey so fun fact, my dad is good friends the woman who currently has this job and she told him that Trump’s admin is trying to force her out. They started advertising the job before they actually told her they were transferring her so she’d have to reapply.

Her name is Catherine (Cassie) Conley, and she’s a badass MIT grad that works as NASA’s planetary protection officer, which sounds super cool (though she says not as cool as the galactic administrator). The job is basically the only one in xenobiology (space life) and it’s her life’s work. She’s been doing this job for over 10 years and now Trump wants her out.

I’m beyond pissed that this keeps going around. I know it sounds like a joke job, but it’s a legitimate career that’s being taken away from literally one of the most intelligent women in the country by this asscactus of a presidency.

If ya’ll could signal boost this that’d be much appreciated. They need to know that this kind of bullshit isn’t acceptable

[gigi-tastic]

I was actually reading about this job in an NPR article and it sounds REALLY important. the job basically means you make sure we don’t contaminate any planets and anything we bring back like rocks or soil, etc doesn’t do the same here.

[apathetic-revenant]

so much of science is so cool and important but gets represented publicly in a way that makes it sound really asinine and it sucks

Help my niece see better

Hi. I’m here to ask all of you wonderful people to help. My niece Iga is 5 years old. She is full of life, wonderful kid. And I love her so so much. She has small problem with her eye. Or at least we thought it’s small.

My sister had very difficult and long (14 hours) labor. Because of the high pressure inside, Iga was born with big red spot on her horehead (that almost completely fade with time) and one smaller and a little closed eye. The doctor said that it will change with time.

Unfortunately she started having problems with the sight in that eye and now she needs surgery. But for free surgery she would have to wait more than a year and that’s too much of a risk. If we not hurry up she will stop seeing on one eye.

We need 500$ for the surgery. And we only have 10 days to raise it. Please if you can spare something, this is her paypal email: [email protected]

You can use an currency you want!

And this is Iga

You can see her left eye a little closed. I know it not looks serious but it is. Thank you for any help!

UPDATE

GUYS I LOVE YOU FOR REBLOGGING BUT WITH THESE 300+ NOTES I GOT NOTHING AT ALL. I’VE MADE ONE POST YESTERDAY TOO AND IN TWO DAYS I ONLY GOT 2 EURO. PLEASE HELP, EVEN ONE DOLLAR, OR FIVE.

NEXT UPDATE

AT THIS MOMENT ON FRIDAY (ALMOST 1000 NOTES WOW) WE RAISED 135 DOLLARS. WE HAVE ONLY EIGHT DAYS LEFT.

[elvi-loci]

okay but like. Do people not know the difference between reblogging and reposting? This is important because some have asked me if they can reblog my art and I’m like ?? Of course?? and they seem super confused because apparently I told them “they can’t” and that’s probably because they have the two terms mixed up. So let me clarify:

Reblogging?

Reblogging, on tumblr, is pressing the button that looks like this:

When you’ve successfully reblogged something to your blog, the button turns green and leaves a little ✔.

Reblogging is GOOD. Because it always shows the original source which means you’re SHARING!! By reblogging, artists get recognition, some artists make art for a living so by sharing their work with the source you’re doing them a favor. Artists appreciate reblogs!

Reposting?

Reposting on the other hand is BAD. That’s when you download/screenshot a picture and re-upload it to the same or another platform, edited or non-edited. Reposting is bad because it’s STEALING. 

Many artists are tired of reposters and some are starting to report people for stealing their art, because they’re Done. It doesn’t matter that you credited, unless you got permission it’s NOT legal to do that and you can get reported!!! If you go even further and steal art to make a profit, you can get sued because you’re using COPYRIGHTED material!! 

so all in all:

REBLOG = SHARE = GOOD ✅✅ REPOST = STEAL = BAD ❌❌

REBLOG =/= REPOSTING !!!

We are sorry if you don’t

[anotherpapercut]

fun story about the reason they do that (at least in America)

once this lady spilled her McDonald’s coffee on herself and ended up getting like 3rd degree burns and since there was no warning on the cup she was able to claim she didn’t know it would be hot (or at least that hot) and won a lawsuit against McDonald’s for $1 million

[prokopetz]

That’s what the media smear campaign against her would have you believe, anyway. The truth of the matter is that the McDonald’s in question had previously been cited - on at least two separate occasions - for keeping their coffee so hot that it violated local occupational health and safety regulations. The lady didn’t win her lawsuit because American courts are stupid; she won it because the McDonald’s she bought that coffee from was actively and knowingly breaking the law with respect to the temperature of its coffee at the time of the incident.

(I mean, do you have any idea what a third-degree burn actually is? Third-degree burns involve “full thickness” tissue damage; we’re talking bone-deep, with possible destruction of tissue. Can you even imagine how hot that cup of coffee would have to have been to inflict that kind of damage in the few seconds it was in contact with her skin?)

[bogleech]

Yeah I’m tired of people joking about either the “stupid” woman who didn’t know coffee was hot or the “greedy” woman making up bullshit to get money.

She was hideously injured by hideous irresponsibility, it was an absolutely legitimate lawsuit and the warning on the cups basically allows McDonalds to claim no responsibility even if it happens again. Every other company followed suit to cover their asses.

So they can still legally serve you something that could sear off the end of your tongue or permanently demolish the front of your gums and just give you a big fat middle finger in court. “The label SAID it would be HOT, STUPID.”

[elfyourmother]

obligatory reblog for the great debunking of the usual ignorance spouted about this case

obligatory mention that the media smear campaign to twist teh facts on this case and get public opinion against the victim was deliberate and fueled by the right wing tort reform movement

it was seized upon to limit the rights of consumers to hold giant corporations accountable for wrongdoing

watch the documentary Hot Coffee, it lays out all of the facts and examines the response to this case and explains why everything you think you know about this case is bullshit, and explains why tort reform is bullshit in an entertaining and informative manner

[thepoisonroom]

The woman injured in Liebeck v. McDonald’s Restaurants was 79 years old at the time of her injuries, and suffered third-degree burns to the pelvic region (including her thighs, buttocks, and groin), which in combination with lesser burns in the surrounding regions caused damage to an area totaling a whopping 22% of her body’s surface. These injuries that required two years of intensive medical care, including multiple skin grafts; during her hospitalization, Stella Liebeck lost around 20% of her starting body weight.

She was uninsured and sued McDonald’s Restaurants for the cost of her past and projected future medical care, an estimated $20,000. The corporation offered a settlement of $800, a number so obviously ridiculous that I’m not even going to dignify it with any further explanation.

The settlement number most often quoted is not the amount that the corporation actually paid; the jury in the first trial suggested a payment equal to a day or two of coffee revenues for McDonald’s, which at the time totaled more than $1 million per diem. The judge reduced the required payout to around $640,000 in both compensatory and punitive damages, and the case was later settled out of court for less than $600,000.

Keep in mind that at the time, McDonald’s already had over 700 cases of complaints about coffee-related burns on file, but continued to sell coffee heated to nearly 200 degrees Fahrenheit (around 90 degrees Celsius) as a means of boosting sales (their selling point was that one could buy the coffee, drive to a second location such as work or home, and still have a piping hot beverage). This in spite of the fact that most restaurants serve coffee between 140 and 160 degrees Fahrenheit (60 to 71 degrees Celsius), and many coffee experts agree that such high temperatures are desirable only during the brewing process itself.

The Liebeck case was absolutely not an example of litigation-happy Americans expecting corporations to cover their asses for their own stupidity, but we seem determined to remember it that way. It’s an issue of liability, and the allowable lengths of capitalism, and even of the way in which our society is incredibly dangerous for and punitive towards the uninsured, but it was not and is not a frivolous suit. Please check your assumptions and do your research before you turn a burn victim’s suffering into a throwaway punchline.

[gaylormoons]

#don’t fricking get me started on Liebeck v. McDonald’s Restaurants the level of misinformation floating around is staggering#I know that it’s an older case but it still makes me really mad that people treat it as this big dumb thing?#the fact that the media took a serious case and turned it into what it is to us today should piss people off#the level of distortion of facts is astonishing and upsetting and nobody seems to hear about it?#sorry I’m done I just#it upsets me when a legal travesty like this is just dragged out for some#’haha americans are sOOOOOOOo dumb!!1!’ humor#I MEAN GODDAMN IF YOU’RE GOING TO MAKE FUN OF AMERICANS AT LEAST MAKE FUN OF US WITH FACTS OKAY

I wish I knew the exact time and date that harry told snape ‘there’s no need to call me sir professor’ so that I could take a moment of silence to remember the moment each year

[marauders4evr]

Judging from the context of the chapter…

We know that it’s September 2nd. I’d put it between 9:00 AM and 11:00 AM. (They have breakfast and then a free period. They have Snape’s class before their break, which was before their lunch.)

[yaneela]

But in the UK first period typically only starts at 9 AM. So free period from around 9-10 AM and Snapes class from 10-11 AM I’d say.

[perhapsarat]

Okay so 10am-11am every September 2nd is now an hour dedicated to remembering the most glorious piece of dialogue ever spoken by a fictional character

[perhapsarat]

I hope everyone is prepared. The time is almost upon us.

HEY GUYS SO I HAVE AN ANNOUNCEMENT!!!

Guuuuuys! So I’m a lil baby writer at the moment, and @wanderingcas and @wrenwritesometimes have reacted AMAZINGLY to my writing, so I’d like y'all to know I’m taking requests so I can practice writing!! I have 3 things I’ve got to work on before any requests, but seriously. Send me your unpopular ships, send me your random ideas for one scene that you can’t write cause you don’t write, send me your fluff ideas, send me your angst ideas, send me your smut ideas, send me your bro!Winchester ideas, send me your sis!reader ideas, send me your reader insert, send me your alt!character, send me anything but things that include one of these two things,

I will NOT WRITE ASSAULT. And I WILL NOT WRITE WEECEST.

I WILL write Wincest upon request, though!!(as opposed to writing losecest, lmao.) It is not my ship but I don’t judge!

Anyway. The point of this is so y'all know;

FIC REQUESTS ARE OPEN! DRABBLE REQUESTS ARE OPEN! IMAGINE REQUESTS ARE OPEN!

EVERYTHING IS OPEEEEEN!

Also I’m in several fandoms, and while I probably write SPN best just plainly due to how much content of the characters personalities there is, I can also write requests for;

SHERLOCK HARRY POTTER And SENSE8!!

And I am not adverse to writing crossovers or AU’s, so don’t think your AU or crossover is too much for me, I may not write the best but the only way to get better is PRACTICE PRACTICE PRACTICE!!

I LOVE YOU GUYS!!

So reblogging this.

[letters-to-lgbt-kids]

My dear lgbt+ kids, 

Now that pride month is nearly over, I want to send a hug to everyone who is surrounded by people who will suddenly stop caring about lgbt+ topics. 

You may have friends or even family members who think of pride events as a cool party, a nice opportunity to dress up or get drunk, or (even worse) a fun excuse to stare at and fetishize lgbt+ people - but don’t care actually about lgbt+ rights at all. 

You may go to a school where the staff seems to believe they’re being super good allies for lgbt+ kids if they acknowledge the existence of homosexuality once a year during pride month - but don’t care about actually protecting and supporting you for the rest of the year. 

You may work in a company that profits from pride month by slapping a rainbow on their products - but don’t actually care about their lgbt+ employees or customers, only about their money. 

Those people suck. You deserve better than that. 

With all my love, 

Your Tumblr Mom
