So, as a result of recent events currently happening in my household, I’m in a situation I’d rather really not be in. To cut a long story very short, the threat of eviction is very real if I’m unable to provide stable rent money weekly given my mother (the breadwinner), and my younger sister will be returning home to Morocco, whereas I cannot afford to and will stay behind with my abusive drunk father. He’s supposed to be bringing in rent money, but he never gives me the full amount, and the last thing I need is to get evicted on top of everything I got going on right now. So if you guys would be so kind, give my GoFundMea look see and donate. If you can’t? just spread the word! I’d appreciate it so much everyone. Mashallah!
HEY GUYS CAN YOU HELP MY FRIEND OVER HERE??? She had a bad situation with her abusive father that was about to harm her sister and now she needs some help, please help her she needs it ;u;
Be wary of the symbols as these are commonly used by pedophiles- even to this day, you can see some examples right here. they are slightly modified but it’s all logo for a legitimate pedophile:
SPREAD THIS
MAKE SURE PEOPLE ARE AWARE
Aaaaannnnd this is why the logo that got used for sizecon had me squicked out.
it is EXTRA CREEPY because you see some of these without knowing what they mean, and you might think “oh cute”. that is the creepy thing in general; things like designs of hearts and spirals/swirls should be totally innocent, innocent, and cute, but here they have been perverted. emphasis on PERVERTED, and done so to a point that they now represent something sick, harmful, and wrong. now, because of this stuff, simple things like hearts have become disgusting.
I just got back from the theater and holy shit, it’s been a very long time since a saw an animate movie this good. It may not be that way for other people, but as a person who has had to deal with ADD all their life, to have a character express the same frustration and fear that I myself have experienced personally made me cry profusely as a 21 yr old surrounded by a bunch of young children.
Because of my ADD I have:
• been fired from my job bc i wasn’t learning fast enough and i forgot orders and customers and when I was working too frequently • almost made me crash my car because i was looking at a dog in a car that i was passing in an intersection • lose valuable things instantly bc i forget that it’s in my hand then unconsciously put it down places • Wastes a lot of time bc i’ll go onto the internet intending to do the one productive thing and get distracted and end up scrolling Facebook or Tumblr for 3 hours before i remember what i went on the internet in the first place for
and probably a lot of other things I myself am not aware of..
Even as a 9 yr old going to see Finding Nemo, i came out of the movie theater going, “Im Dory! I’m Dory! I forget things too!” because, holy shit there’s a cartoon character like me who forgets everything. I’v used Dory to explain to people what I’m like at times, and she has been portrayed going through some of the same emotions that i experience bc of my mental illness (MI)
like, in both movies she gets angry and frustrated when she couldn’t remember something, closing her eyes and rapping against her temples, and shit man i’v done the same exact gesture, i hate it when i can’t remember something important or I get yelled at when I forgot to complete something bc it left my head the second they told me to do it.
I felt validated when I watched someone else express the same exasperation. I have developed a huge insecurity in myself because of this, and constantly worry how i will make a name for myself with the way I am, and this worry was voiced quite literally in the movie.
Dory had to go down some pipes in an aquarium to get to where she believed her parents would be, and the directions given to her by the other characters were clear and easy for most people to remember, but for Dory, she originally believed she would need someone else to come with her to remember the way, saying “I can’t go it there on my own, what if I forget?” and as I sat there watching this i thought to myself, well man, how many times have I told myself the same thing.
I have relied on people all my life to help keep me focused and often times I can’t get anything done if I don’t have someone keeping me on task. The writers had the characters, instead of invalidate her need by saying some cliche like, “oh, you’ll be fine.” recognize she had a problem and stay with her and yell directions to her through the pipes until she got to her destination.
The development team as a whole has my thanks for to be honest, they did their damn research. the sense of fear and being lost was so well portrayed in the film, you don’t even realise it until you look back. they visually explained the feeling of lost memories by having dory be in murky, unclear water in almost every instance of her being confused. They had everything in her environment fuzzy and out of focus and that’s exactly what it feels like when I get disoriented. Nothing around you makes sense and you feel lost and alone. It’s incredible that they could explain this so subtly yet concisely
a few other important points:
• honestly i cried at the scene where she found her parents bc they never gave up on her and found a way to work with her MI to help her find them, by laying out shells that were easy to follow that lead back to their home, they worked with dory on her terms and that’s what lead to them reuniting in the end
• (im bolding this bc this is important) the focus was not on curing Dory of her MI, but adapting to and coping with life with it, which was so huge to me. At the end she forgets that they’re playing hide and seek but talks herself through it until she remembers (a technique which i will be using from now on aswell) and I think of all the potential neurodivergant kids in the audience watching this and using this method and omg do i cry
• teaches people fish with disabilities are not helpless and can do things on their own (like when Nemo got himself out of the tube in the first film, and how Dory found her parents)
• The art, just, ugh, my little animator heart was so happy with the film in its entirety • it was honest to god funny (the seals) • it meant a lot to see a character like me living and functioning to their fullest despite inhibitions
long story short, i give it a ten out of ten, i would wait another 12 years just to see this movie again
i had to see if the tonys would do anything in dedication to the victims of this disgusting hate crime and found the theatre community has come out to tweet about the injustice
Above is the “Know Anon” code that allows you to expose any hateful anons you wish at your own whim. If you know anyone who’s struggling with anonymous hate, reblog this for them.
How to install
Simply copy the above code and paste it right after the <head> portion of the HTML coding on your blog. This is with the jQuery script included, so everything should be covered. Once you’ve done this, update and save, then exit your customize page.
Re-enter your customize page, and under “appearance” should be a button called “Enable Know Anon”, which may be on or off automatically, depending. Flip the switch to enable or disable it, then save.
How to use
When you get anonymous hate or anon messages you find offensive, simply exit your Inbox, enter your Customize page, flip the switch to “on”, then save and exist. Re-enter your inbox, and any and all anonymous messages will be exposed with a URL, if they have one. Note that this includes everything, not just the hate. Another thing to note is that, once you expose anons in the inbox, you can’t un-expose them. Flipping the switch back to “off” does nothing.
Answer a message people thought was on anon, and gee, they’ll get a nasty little surprise, hmm? It’s better than a fake anonymous button because while you still can’t control who it exposes, you can control when to do so.
Remember though, that this isn’t the only way to stop anonymous hate. As always, there’s simply the “turn anonymous asks off” button. And thanks to the update from a few months ago, anons CAN be blocked.
That little hand right there? That’s the ignore button. It’s present on all asks sent, whether anon or otherwise. When you block an anon, you have the option to report them for spam or harassment, and it will permanently block them. It also blocks the IP address and computer, so that person can’t take advantage of extra accounts to continue sending you hate. It effectively wipes that person right out of your Tumblr life. They cannot contact your blog again, ever.
For the website that gives you the Know Anon code, with or without jQuery script, in case that causes trouble (most themes come with it pre-installed, but not all), go here.
[ Goodness, wow thank you very much for letting me know this existed! That was very considerate of you! ]
EVERYONE WHO HAS BEEN GETTING LITTLE NO-LIFE SHITHEADS BOTHERING THEM.
Look man, I rarely ask for help when it comes to money, because I usually prefer donating and helping others before myself, but this time I actually need help and I want to get out of here it hurts too much to be here anymore.. And if you can’t donate, perhaps share this? I’d really appreciate it.
I myself don’t have any money to give and I am very sorry ;m; but maybe you guys can help?
shoutout to the people who still have to interact with their abusers
shoutout to people who can’t live without their abusers, either because of dependency issues or out of fear
shoutout to people who were abused by someone popular and therefore see their abuser in more places than they can handle sometimes
shoutout to people who were abused and have never come out as a victim out of fear
all of you, every single one of you, is very strong and deserves so much better. you deserve safety, love and a safe haven where you can recover from your abuse. you don’t deserve any of this and it isn’t your fault.
