A Friend Of Mine Posted This. Reblog To Save A Life!

Please Vote Here!

Hey everyone! I was asked to design and sew a custom Itty Bitty for Hallmark, and my design is now up for vote! I would really, really appreciate your support. The Itty Bitty with the most votes will be put into production and sold, which is a huge dream of mine.

It’s important to me that every kid who walks into a toy store is able to find something that is representative of/relatable to them, and this is my small effort into making that a reality.

You can vote once a day for one design per device (phone, tablet, computer, etc) which is a really, really difficult choice, (I love so many of them!) for the next 16 days, and I would love your support to make my mermaid dreams come true.

There are no bonuses or incentives for winning except that little kids (and big kids) all over the country would be able to have something I made.

Photo credits go to the lovely people at think.make.share.

Any kind of signal boost would also be really lovely of you! <3

Thank you!

Guys there’s a HUGE compilation of Pokemon Shaming illustrations being circulated on here and it has over 10 THOUSAND notes despite NONE of the images being sourced.

I follow the artist of one of them who doesn’t approve of their art being reposted so it’s safe to assume the OP didn’t ask permission from ANY of the artists. With all of the posts about art theft going around you all should know far better than to reblog blatantly reposted art so please stop reblogging that one post. It has more notes than half the images probably have by themselves so it’s incredibly disrespectful to keep circulating it despite that.

SIGNAL BOOST THE HELL OUT OF THIS!!! 

2 county shelters around my area have had their licenses revoked due to a “Systemic failure to care for animals.” In one, over 400 animals have been found dead this year. More than 90 in two different months, and over 30 animals have been found dead so far in August. As an animal lover and zoology major dedicating my life to help animals in need, this tears me apart. To have this happen just over an hour from me is sickening.

What’s more distressing than all of the animals that have already died is that the future of the survivors is up in the air. The shelters will remain open while its decided what to do, but no one is sure. All of the rescues are full and pulled thin as it is. I hope that they will be able to pull some, but there are just so many that need help.

So, please share this link and get the word out! If this goes viral, then the spotlight will make them more accountable for the future of these poor animals.

UPDATE:

I’ve found the letters revoking licenses. They describe horrific and sickening conditions. In Guilford, animals with severe and extremely painful injuries like ruptured eyeballs, twisted spines, broken pelvises, and gunshot wounds were not given any veterinary treatment or pain medication. For DAYS, until they were euthanized. Some animals suffered without treatment for 11 or 12 days. In Davidson, a massively lethal and contagious disease swept through the shelter, especially among the cats. No vet was called or consulted with to try to fix this. In a span of 12 days in August, 38 animals were found dead.

Local rescues are actively trying to pull animals from these places, but there are so many animals that the communities cannot help them alone. 

PLEASE signal boost this so that people know that these atrocious conditions will not be ignored!

Read the Guilford County report here. 

Read the Davidson County report here.

WARNING: Above links contain details of gross animal abuse and neglect.

trans danny phantom reblog if u agree

Reblog if LGBT+ members have a safe place on your blog

*presses reblog button violently*

can we just like, all agree to boycott tumblr for 24 hours to show the staff that we’re pissed about the update? because they have to track usage and stuff like that, and I feel like it would send a pretty big message if enough people did it. like nothing fancy, just don’t use tumblr from 12:00am to 11:59pm, one whole day of nothing, not even mobile blogging. maybe set up one queue’d post explaining why you’re boycotting (so anyone that doesn’t get the memo would know what’s up) but other than that maybe even stop queues (just for the day) to help send the message.

I’d propose Wednesday, September 9th as the day. That’s one week after the update, one week to give it a try, one week to show the staff that we’re not just overreacting to change (the way people are apt to do on the internet) but are serious about not liking the way they’ve changed our blogging experience. That also gives us a week to get this post around the site: long enough to spread it around, but not so long that people forget that we’re going to do this. Maybe set a reminder on your phone or computer so that you don’t forget. I’ll be posting in the tag #updateboycott throughout the week for general reminders and to answer any questions/suggestions.

And please, reblog this. The only way this will work is if enough people see this post and participate to make a difference. 

so tl;dr: hate the update? join the boycott of tumblr on Wednesday, September 9th from 12:00am to 11:59pm by just not using tumblr that day. 

Thanks.
