“But if you forget to reblog Madame Zeroni, you and your family will be cursed for always and eternity.”
I’ve seen a lot of posts on my dash tonight about users who are threatening suicide, with other Tumblr members posting in effort to try to get ahold of them. I think you all should see this:
IF THERE IS EVER A TUMBLR USER WHO HAS POSTED A GOOD-BYE MESSAGE, SUICIDE NOTE, VIDEO, OR ANYTHING OF THE SORT, PLEASE FOLLOW THIS POST.
1. Scroll to the top of your dashboard.
2. See the circular question mark icon at the top? It’s the third one over from your home symbol. Click on that, and a screen similar to the one in the picture will come up.
3. Where you can type in questions, the box with the magnifying glass at the top, type in the word “suicide.”
4. Click on the first link that shows up. It should say, “Pass the URL of the blog on to us.”
5. Type in the user’s URL and tell Tumblr admin that the user is contemplating suicide and has posted a message indicating that they are going through with it or will be attempting. Hit send! Tumblr administration will perform a number of actions to contact the user and take the necessary steps to prevent the suicide.
TUMBLR: THIS COULD SAVE A USER’S LIFE. PLEASE DO NOT IGNORE SUICIDE THREATS.
Reblog this to keep other users aware. Suicide isn’t a joke, and neither is someone’s life. If you didn’t know this, someone else may not, either. Pass it on.
Izzy Stradlin swallowed his entire drug stash and ended up in a coma for 96 hours. Axl Rose’s girlfriend wrestled a gun away from him as he was going to shoot himself. Steven Alder attempted suicide three times after he was kicked out of Guns N Roses. Slash contemplated suicide when he realized he couldn’t deal with being in Guns N Roses anymore. Duff Mckagan hid in a closet with a gun to his head after his family tried to stage an intervention about his drinking problem. They have all been through problems with suicide, but look where they all are now! They’re all so happy, especially Steven, watch recent interviews of him and he can’t stop smiling and talking about what a blessing it is for him to be alive. Please believe me when I say it gets better, just look at these five perfect examples and hold on.
curb your enthusiasm, duff
