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.

dad: are you watching that show with those girl singers again? why don’t you grow up and watch something more manly
me:
I’m Eli, a Jewish agender 18-year-old with ADHD and BPD. My parents have been emotionally, physically, and financially/economically abusive and controlling throughout my childhood to me and my sibling, even after we turned 18. Last week they ramped up that abuse and control to unbearable levels by stealing hundreds of dollars worth of my possessions and extending their abuse and control tactics even further with the help of an abusive psychologist. I couldn’t stay in that abusive environment any longer, so I left and have been couch-hopping since then. My parents continue to try and find me and coerce me into coming home by attempting to cut off my communications with other people by turning off my data and texting, withholding from me thousands of dollars of my money that I previously entrusted to them, and stealing $400 dollars right out of my bank account before i could transfer the money to my current non-joint account, leaving me with almost nothing. I’ll hopefully be going back to either community college or Brandeis in the spring or next fall, depending on whether my parents decide to pay for it and whether i can shorten my mandatory health leave, but until then I’m going to be homeless with only a few possibilities for where to stay, all of which are either short term, have a high chance of falling through, or both. Due to multiple factors, including debilitating executive function problems and having no permanent residence or area, it will be extremely hard for me to get or hold down a job, let alone one that pays well enough to fund college if my parents cut me off completely.
I’ve set up a Youcaring page for donations, which I’ve linked below and at the top. Please donate to help me replace my stuff and find a place to live and work. Boost this as much as you can by reblogging and sharing this!
TL;DR: I’m a mentally ill/disabled Jewish agender 18-year old who escaped an abusive situation and is now homeless. Your donations will help me replace missing property stolen from me by my parents as well as help me find and pay for stable housing, employment, meds, and food.
Late last year, the Alliance Defending Freedom — a religious and conservative advocacy group — bombarded the Gilbert, Arizona, public school board demanding several pages be removed from an honors biology textbook. While doing so would have violated copyright law, the school found another solution: Stickers. The worst part though? The content the Alliance Defending Freedom took issue with is medically accurate information.

PLEASE READ. WILL NOT HURT TO AND FORWARD. Kids are putting Drano, tin foil, and a little water in plastic drink bottles and capping it up - leaving it on lawns, in mail boxes, in gardens, on driveways etc. just waiting for you to pick it up intending to put it in the rubbish, but you’ll never make it!!!
If the bottle is picked up, and the bottle is shaken even just a little - in about 30 seconds or less it builds up enough gas which then explodes with enough force to remove some your extremities. The liquid that comes out is boiling hot as well. Don’t pick up any plastic bottles that may be lying in your yards or in the gutter, etc. Pay attention to this. A plastic bottle with a cap. A little Drano. A little water. A small piece of foil. Disturb it by moving it; and BOOM!! No fingers left and other serious effects to your face, eyes, etc. Please ensure that everyone that may not have email access are also informed of this.
