Before I go into details, I'll cut to the chase: my found family @wesonga-01 owns an orphanage that homes both kids and struggling families.But, it's struggling to get by after some hard times. We desperately need help to pay rent this month and get supplies/food.

We need to make $300 to be able to make rent! I will be selling things on my store and taking on more freelance work to try and help! So, it's not all on you!!

Please reblog or share if you can! And please DM me if you have any ideas to help. Thank you so much, you guys have gotten Yazid and his family through so much loss, illness, and hunger. I have lots of plans for the future that I'm working towards to be able to contribute more, but right now, I'm still stunted by my health. If you want to ask for details of how I'm trying to help or how hard yazid is working, DM me or him.

many of the victims senselessly murdered on the 16th do not have family able to pay for a funeral and to lay them to rest peacefully, if you’re able to, please donate and support as much as you can or donate directly to Mario González’s fundraiser for his wife’s funeral service. these people deserve the dignity and respect they deserved while they were with us in life in what we are able to do for them in their passing.

Not people saying “Fandom has always been like this” in that vent post I made. No. It hasn’t always been like this. Fandom has NEVER been like this until recently and if you were in fandom pre-tumblr purge, pre-twitter, pre-netflix boom, pre-tiktok….then you would fucking know it was nothing like this.

We still had the drive to create. We still sold prints and charms and made zines…but it was never like this.

The introduction of streaming, binge shows that drop all at once, tiktok and vine RIP i still love u vine but you were the beginning of a particularly ugly era) creating this bite sized, quick paced ‘content’ era of creation and it bled out into fucking everything else.

Fandoms didn’t die down when the show ended or the season was over. You didn’t mass unfollow artist, writers or moots just because they changed fandoms. There wasn’t this need to please the algorithm in order for your posts to get seen by people and enjoyed.

Fandoms used to last YEARS. Star Trek is literally the oldest running fandom out there and you got people in there that could care less about the new stuff and still have been happily prancing through their fucking fifty year old fandom today. Hell, even SPN after all it’s fuckups and shitshows has a dedicated fanbase STILL creating tons of art and fic.

There is no patience anymore. No calm feeling of taking in fandom and friends at a pace that which doesn’t make you stressed and is still fun.

Do I blame fandom for this? Of course not, but people are complacent with it and start changing their vocab to accommodate and end up making the situation so deep it cant be fixed.

We call Art & Fic Content now, completely stripping the value of what it is to a level of consumerism instead of personal entertainment & community bonding.

thinking about how many serial killers targeted prostitutes probably not because they had a specific hatred of them like so many people hypothesize but because they hated women in general and prostitutes were the only women who didn’t have the choice to stay away from them

Black girls and black women, please be careful and seek protection, in Kansas City, there is a serial killer targeting young black girls and nobody is reporting it. 4 victims in the past week and 3 more girls reported missing.

protect black women.

I've said this before and I'll say it again: it's more important to know and understand fully why something is harmful than it is to drop everything deemed problematic. It's performative and does nothing. People wonder why nobody has critical thinking skills and this is part of it because no one knows how to simousltansly critique and consume media. You need to use discernment.
