So here they are!

Hi! I hate having to ask for help, but without it what I'll do .I have no where to go and i am asking for any kind of help for my daughter treatment diagnosed with sickle cell. but the worst were the THREE strokes to the brain. Kindly send donation and share if you're able🙏
Hi, I'm not able to donate to you but I will certainly spread the word of your daughter. I hope she gets better soon 🫂💕
I hope this message finds you well. I am reaching out to you today with a profound sense of introspection and a newfound understanding.
I wanted to personally thank you for the sincere criticism and candid conversations you've had concerning the identification of a dear friend of mine as a transautist. Your words echoed in her mind, compelling her to deeply reflect and question her self-perception. I also had the same thoughts upon revisiting your arguments.
In light of this reflection, I have realized that the label "transautistic" no longer resonates with my experiences. I've felt a growing alignment with the autistic community not merely as an ally, but on a more personal and intrinsic level.
With humility and respect, I want to tell you that I now identify as a self-diagnosed autistic individual. This evolution in my understanding is largely thanks to your thoughtful input and honest dialogue.
I understand the gravity of this self-identification and I am aware of the responsibility that comes with it. I'm committed to fostering understanding, promoting acceptance, and advocating for the autistic community with the respect and sincerity it deserves.
I'm deeply sorry for any confusion or discomfort my previous identification may have caused you and I am grateful for your patience and guidance throughout my journey.
Your influence has made a significant impact on my path of self-discovery, and I wanted you to know how much I appreciate your input and understanding.
Thank you, once again, for being a part of my journey.
Hello, I'm happy to hear from you. I'm glad you have thought about my words to your friend and I am happy that you have come to this conclusion and I'm glad my words have not offended you.
We are all wrong sometimes and while that is hard to come to terms with, I'm happy that you have come to terms with that and grown as a person.
I believe personal growth is very important and no one should be hindered from that.
I'm happy to be a part of your journey :)
(As a side note : you should probably delete a lot of your old posts. Not everyone will take too kindly to this revelation especially with the old things on your profile as well as your likes tab being completely visible.)
URGENT!! Help me survive before and after a kidney transplant
Hi. I’m Jay, and I’m a black, disabled non-binary lesbian and my best friend, who is my caregiver, is a white Latina woman.
On May 28, I go in for a kidney transplant due to chronic kidney disease and being on dialysis wouldn’t sustain me anymore. I currently have bed sores due to being completely bedbound from an infection. My whole care team is saying I need a hospital bed with a medical grade mattress that relieves pressure sores. The thing is we don’t exactly have $4.5k laying around and we need it fairly quickly as my bed sores are worsening by the day and they are worried about infection of the sores and then sepsis (a blood infection that you can die from).
So this mattress will quite literally save my life
My best friend is selling merchandise of her cat and this is the quickest way for us to make the money as Paypal limited both our accounts for asking for donations. The influx of money raised red flags, I guess, which is fair. The notebooks are $9 + shipping, but we have lots of different merchandise. I just love it all. Here’s the link to the notebook. The store name is www.troublethecat.ca if you rather just look at the whole catalog.
Thank you so much

(tw : brief mention of faking mental health issues)
I think it's valid.
There are many people who can't access an official diagnosis of their mental disabilities for various reasons such as, poverty, being part of another marginalised group (women/poc etc), being a minor with unsupportive or unwilling parents and the list goes on. Some people simply don't want to and I get why. An official diagnosis can limit you in many ways such as travel, healthcare, education etc. An official diagnosis can also make you more prone to ableism from the government, schools and workplaces.
Either way, self diagnosis is extremely important whether you choose to pursue an official diagnosis or not.
(Side note : I don't think it matters in the grand scheme of things if someone fakes a mental disorder for attention. Of course, it is disrespectful and you shouldn't do it but people with mental disorders barely get support anyway so what would they exactly be taking away from us? Stim toys? The only thing I can think of is therapists but there aren't many that specialise in disability so 🤷 I think the only time it could be considered a bad thing is if they're spread harmful misinformation like if you're gonna fake something, at least make it believable. To be honest, I feel bad for those who fake a disorder / disability because they might be so attention starved that they would do that.)
📢 mutual aid request! help needed!🌻
my partner @mongrelmeats and i are trying to survive & escape an abusive household. we are both trans and disabled and had to flee TN to avoid homelessness in a very hostile state. we moved in with abusive family members as a last resort. sadly, they subject us to regular emotional/mental abuse, manipulation, and sabotage. they have been physically abusive in the past, causing me nerve damage. the situation is not safe and our physical and mental health is suffering. our two cats and dog live with us in one room with very little space to move around. we can't eat or shower without being observed and criticized. we are rarely permitted to leave the house. i guess it's not the absolute worst situation anyone has been in, but we are desperate to get out.
our only income now comes from commissions as our car was totalled in a triple rollover accident. i was lucky and survived without major injuries. weir was lucky they were not with me at the time.
our goal is to get a cheap used car without major damages or needing major repairs. funds otherwise go to our regular survival expenses, such as medical needs and pet food. but a car would give us some independence and the ability to find work to support ourselves!
➡️our gofundme here! with more info about the situation.
prefer to buy art? ⤵️
@mongrelmeats art is our income right now. But Weir is very talented with humans, anthros, or feral ocs! They are great at translating likeness into art, and creating diverse and believable faces. they can do multiple styles too and did our fundraiser banner. Weir loves horror, fantasy, weird outsider art, and queer erotica. If that's your vibe, check them out!

URGENT: 🚨🚨EARN IT ACT IS BACK IN THE SENATE 🚨🚨 TUMBLR’S NSFW BAN HITTING THE ENTIRE INTERNET THIS SUMMER 2023
April 28, 2023
I’m so sorry for the long post but please please please pay attention and spread this
What is the EARN IT Act?
The EARN IT Act (s. 1207) has been roundly condemned by nearly every major LGBTQ+ advocacy and human rights organization in the country.
This is the third time the Senate has been trying to force this through, and I talked about it last year. It is a bill that claims "protects children and victims against CSAM" by creating an unelected and politically appointed national commission of law enforcement specialists to dictate "best practices" that websites all across the nation will be forced to follow. (Keep in mind, most websites in the world are created in the US, so this has global ramifications). These "best practices" would include killing encryption so that any law enforcement can scan and see every single message, dm, photo, cloud storage, data, and any website you have every so much as glanced at. Contrary to popular belief, no they actually can't already do that. These "best practices" also create new laws for "removing CSAM" online, leading to mass censorship of non-CSAM content like what happened to tumblr. Keep in mind that groups like NCOSE, an anti-LGBT hate group, will be allowed on this commission. If websites don't follow these best practices, they lose their Section 230 protections, leading to mass censorship either way.
Section 230 is foundational to modern online communications. It's the entire reason social media exists. It grants legal protection to users and websites, and says that websites aren't responsible for what users upload online unless it's criminal. Without Section 230, websites are at the mercy of whatever bullshit regulatory laws any and every US state passes. Imagine if Texas and Florida were allowed to say what you can and can't publish and access online. That is what will happen if EARN IT passes. (For context, Trump wanted to get rid of Section 230 because he knew it would lead to mass govt surveillance and censorship of minorities online.)
This is really not a drill. Anyone who makes or consume anything “adult” and LGBT online has to be prepared to fight Sen. Blumenthal’s EARN IT Act, brought back from the grave by a bipartisan consensus to destroy Section 230. If this bill passes, we’re going to see most, if not all, adult content and accounts removed from mainstream platforms. This will include anything related to LGBT content, including SFW fanfiction, for example. Youtube, Twitter, Reddit, Tiktok, Tumblr, all of them will be completely gutted of anything related to LGBT content, abortion healthcare, resources for victims of any type of abuse, etc. It is a right-wing fascists wet dream, which is why NCOSE is behind this bill and why another name for this bill is named in reference to NCOSE.
NCOSE used to be named Morality in Media, and has rebranded into an "anti-trafficking" organization. They are a hate group that has made millions off of being "against trafficking" while helping almost no victims and pushing for homophobic laws globally. They have successfully pushing the idea that any form of sexual expression, including talking about HEALTH, leads to sex trafficking. That's how SESTA passed. Their goal is to eliminate all sex, anything gay, and everything that goes against their idea of ‘God’ from the internet and hyper disney-fy and sanitize it. This is a highly coordinated attack on multiple fronts.
The EARN IT Act will lead to mass online censorship and surveillance. Platforms will be forced to scan their users’ communications and censor all sex-related content, including sex education, literally anything lgbt, transgender or non-binary education and support systems, aything related to abortion, and sex worker communication according to the ACLU. All this in the name of “protecting kids” and “fighting CSAM”, both of which the bill does nothing of the sort. In fact it makes fighting CSEM even harder.
EARN IT will open the way for politicians to define the category of “pornography" as they — or the lobbies that fund them — please. The same way that right-wing groups have successfully banned books about race and LGBT, are banning trans people from existing, all under the guise of protecting children from "grooming and exploitation", is how they will successfully censor the internet.
As long as state legislatures can tie in "fighting CSAM" to their bullshit laws, they can use EARN IT to censor and surveill whatever they want.
This is already a nightmare enough. But the bill also DESTROYS ENCRYPTION, you know, the thing protecting literally anyone or any govt entity from going into your private messages and emails and anything on your devices and spying on you.
This bill is going to finish what FOSTA/SESTA started. And that should terrify you.
Senator Blumenthal (Same guy who said ‘Facebook should ban finsta’) pushed this bill all of 2020, literally every activist (There were more than half a million signatures on this site opposing this act!) pushed hard to stop this bill. Now he brings it back, doesn’t show the text of the bill until hours later, and it’s WORSE. Instead of fixing literally anything in the bill that might actually protect kids online, Bluemnthal is hoping to fast track this and shove it through, hoping to get little media attention other than propaganda of “protecting kids” to support this shitty legislation that will harm kids. Blumental doesn't care about protecting anyone, and only wants his name in headlines.
It will make CSAM much much worse.
One of the many reasons this bill is so dangerous: It totally misunderstands how Section 230 works, and in doing so (as with FOSTA) it is likely to make the very real problem of CSAM worse, not better. Section 230 gives companies the flexibility to try different approaches to dealing with various content moderation challenges. It allows for greater and greater experimentation and adjustments as they learn what works – without fear of liability for any “failure.” Removing Section 230 protections does the opposite. It says if you do anything, you may face crippling legal liability. This actually makes companies less willing to do anything that involves trying to seek out, take down, and report CSAM because of the greatly increased liability that comes with admitting that there is CSAM on your platform to search for and deal with. This liability would allow anyone for any reason to sue any platform they want, suing smaller ones out of existence. Look at what is happening right now with book bans across the nation with far right groups. This is going to happen to the internet if this bill passes.
(Remember, the state department released a report in December 2021 recommending that the government crack down on “obscenity” as hard the Reagan Administration did. If this bill passes, it could easily go way beyond shit red states are currently trying. It is a goldmine for the fascist right that is currently in the middle of banning every book that talks about race and sexuality across the US.)
The reason these bills keep showing up is because there is this false lie spread by organizations like NCOSE that platforms do nothing about CSEM online. However, platforms are already liable for child sexual exploitation under federal law. Tech companies sent more than 45 million+ instances of CSAM to the DOJ in 2019 alone, most of which they declined to investigate. This shows that platforms are actually doing everything in their power already to stop CSEM by following already existing laws. The Earn It Act includes zero resources for proven investigation or prevention programs. If Senator Bluementhal actually cared about protecting youth, why wouldn’t he include anything to actually protect them in his shitty horrible bill? EARN IT is actually likely to make prosecuting child molesters more difficult since evidence collected this way likely violates the Fourth Amendment and would be inadmissible in court.
I don’t know why so many Senators are eager to cosponsor the “make child pornography worse” bill, but here we are.
HOW TO FIGHT BACK
EARN IT Act was introduced just two weeks ago and is already being fast-tracked. It will be marked up the week of May 1st and head to the Senate floor immediately after. If there is no loud and consistent opposition, it will be law by JUNE! Most bills never go to markup, so this means they are putting pressure to move this through. There are already 20 co-sponsors, a fifth of the entire Senate. This is an uphill battle and it is very much all hands on deck.

Here is a linktree with more information on this bill including a masterpost of articles, the links to petitions, and the call script.

TLDR: The EARN IT Act will lead to online censorship of any and all adult & lgbt content across the entire internet, open the floodgates to mass surveillance the likes which we haven’t seen before, lead to much more CSEM being distributed online, and destroy encryption. Call 202-224-3121 to connect to your house and senate representative and tell them to VOTE NO on this bill that does not protect anyone and harms everyone.

cw : ableism, school system
The school system here in the UK is so fucking ableist istg. So basically me and my younger sister have health issues which cause us to be off school for appointments and bad sick days. Our attendances are lower than average because of this. My high school has a policy of having 95% attendance or over, ours is about 88%. The school is hounding our mother with constant letters and meetings despite our absences being authorised. I hate being an inconvenience to my mother and feel bad about it but I know it's the fault of the system.
I'm just really annoyed that I'm treated as such a burden just because I'm disabled.
As a British person living with severe M.E., (plus fibromyalgia and some other issues), I would ask that you please sign and share this petition to get Royal Devon and Exeter NHS Foundation Trust to make accommodations for Alice Barrett, who has very severe M.E. and P.O.T.S. and is currently being treated in Exeter Hospital.
They are refusing to feed her via a nasogastric tube in such a way that takes into account her specific needs - and despite an M.E. specialist saying it's safe to do so - because it isn't in accordance with their hospital guidelines.
Alice needs help, so that she can be fed in a way that won't compromise her health, and potentially permanently worsen her symptoms.
Please sign and share this petition!

Edit: I paid to blaze this post, so it would reach as many people as possible, but sadly, the Tumblr moderators have rejected this, so this post is not sponsored as I intended - I don't know why. If Alice's family and friends see this post, please know that I tried! 🤷🏻♀️

Reblog and put in the tags if you block people easily or if it takes a lot for you to block someone.
in yet another failure to care about people sensitive to flashing, the new Scream movie ad includes aggressive flashing within a second of the ad starting. It seems to just be in the usual format of an ad, not one that haunts the background, but if you see the below at the top of an ad
go ahead and either exit the app or close your eyes and scroll. I was not able to get a screenshot of how the whole ad starts as there is, again, less than a second before the flashing starts.
really loving how people stopped caring about flash sensitivities lmao
anyway you should reblog this to warn your followers as well, I'd rather as few people have this violent surprise as possible
