I want to preface this by saying this is not victim blaming. This not calling people online lazy or grifting or whatever.

But an underlooked proponent on why some people are nearing homeless and crowdfunding heavily rn is bc society has failed you by making it as inconvenient as possible to learn about social systems and programs that already exist to help your situation as well as not having enough programs and aid.

Lemme give some examples. I have been unemployed for 10 months. My mom told me about a paying job training program a month ago after I already decided to mive in with her to find work, because nothing was coming up in my own city. My best friend didn’t know about affordable housing assistance in my state until she talked to my dad about it on a chance encounter. Some people on here have to see posts about much cheaper alternatives to their current prescriptions or medical plans because its not in the interest of their doctors paychecks to tell them about it. I would have waited to get vaccinated and not have crowdfunded for Uber money if I had known they were going to give free vaccine rides the next month. But I wouldn’t have really known this until I opened the app once that program started, because it is in their interest to keep taking my money until its their desired time for me to reap their “generous” services.

What I’m trying to say is that this is an under discussed aspect of how capitalism fails people. When you are forced to make your life and work and finances so singular and self interested, you are cut off from community and equivalent social services to proper government assistance. You literally don’t know that there is help somewhere out there for you unless you’re told.

SO I decided to experiment with blocking someone from an anon ask they've sent to see what happens (thank you to @monjustmon for being my co-scientist on this), and here are the results from our study:

When you block an anon, the username does NOT appear in your blocklist

If you go to the page of the person you've anon blocked, you can still see their page, and it does not look like you have blocked them. In fact, you can still hit the "block" button on their page.

Tumblr will not inform the user that they are blocked from sending you anons. Mon was able to keep sending me anons, but I was not receiving them in my inbox

Blocking an anon removes the anon from your inbox as well as any previous anons still sitting in there that the user sent you

Blocking an anon appears to block the ip address, as mon was unable to send me anons from a side account

Because blocking the anon does not block the blog it originated from, there does not seem to be a way to unblock :( sorry mon

Blocking an anon sent from your own ip address does nothing. I initially tried making a side account for the purpose of conducting this experiment, but blocking the anon did nothing to prevent the side account from sending another, which I assume is because we share an ip address. So if you have an annoying sibling who keeps sending you anons, sorry, you're out of luck.

So there you have it folks, the details of what happens when you block an anon xD

Actually I will make a post about this. Please spell hawai‘i properly, with the ‘okina, which is a glottal stop that changes the pronunciation of a word! The ‘okina looks like a backwards apostrophe and sounds like a hiccup. There are other hawaiian words that are commonly spelled without the ‘okina, like the name of the island lāna‘i, but retaining the proper spelling and making an effort to pronounce hawaiian words properly helps preserve the hawaiian ‘ōlelo :)

please share this

i lost my job a few months ago and i’m currently on unemployment. my food stamps were rejected because my unemployment is slightly over the approved limit.

my unemployment is barely enough to pay rent and does not factor in my bills at all. i managed to pay rent late this month but i’m about 40 short on my electricity and my car payment is already late. i am also currently supporting my disabled mother who would otherwise be homeless.

if anyone can spare anything this holiday season i would appreciate it.

🚨HELP NEEDED🚨

Hello, I’m Biel and I’m currently the sole breadwinner of a 3 person household. My roommate and I are multiply disabled and we both care for a child and I work fast food but because of the season/weather, my hours are cut and I barely make enough to cover rent and bills, and not for anything else (groceries, medical expenses, new clothes for the kid bc she’s outgrown most of her wardrobe).

We currently have $100 to both of our names (I can post proof) and my next paycheck doesn’t come until the 20th (and I don’t think I’ll make more than $600 based on my hours) and my roommate’s EBT normally hits on the 8th but is under review because I’m now part of the household and DHS refuses to take our documents or attempts to contact to finish the review.  Please consider donating and/or boosting to help us out so we can survive the winter

please reblog even if you don’t read, I’m dead serious 😬 

(aka. disabled t4t couple spends a year skirting death, seeks to avoid being homeless again)

We started out 2022 in a garage.

Then we were in a goat barn with no plumbing/electricity/floor.

Then I tucked my tail between my legs and asked my abusive mother for help. She got us into a camper but has not been able to help much more than that. Which is fine, I don’t want to rely on her any more or longer than necessary.

After being kicked out of our first campground by the homophobic owners, we have found a spot for the next few months.

We have not had food stamps since our most recent move, and I don’t know when the hell they’ll come. We DO finally have internet though, which means I finally have a fucking job.

Unfortunately I have spent this week doing hours of unpaid training and testing. There is still more to be done. Soooo I am not gonna get paid a dime until, best estimate, early-mid January 2023. Rent is obviously due before that.

Campsite rent is $450. We have $0 since literally every dime we’ve gotten in help has gone straight to food or other basic daily needs.

Every time I ask for help on this app I say that we’re getting closer to me not having to ask anymore. And it’s still true. People tell me to get a job, okay, I finally got one I can actually do with my disabilities! I just don’t get paid for another few weeks!!! Like FUCK I am trying SO hard y’all.

my fiancée's teeth are breaking! this situation was urgent a Year ago and the most 'care' she got was a dental student pulling the wrong tooth. the molar kept breaking, infection would be treated w meds and then come back, and most foods are too difficult to eat. we are recently and tentatively housed again and trying to get insurance but its hard to think with daily pain and a deep infection

shes literally still applying to jobs and looking into peer support certifications and doing medical/benefits paperwork for BOTH of us bc i can barely form sentences half the time due to my own health issues

so here i am ebegging again! because i dont know how else to help and i am watching in horror while my love feels worse and worse

her cash/venm/PP are all @ hedwwig

_(:3 」∠)_ halp!

trying to make this as lighthearted as possible but um. Hi i’m calico i’ve asked for d0na@tions before so to tl;dr my story, my dad is a cancer patient and he had surgery two months ago. he unfortunately has had a weakened immune system after the surgery and got sick again last week. so our income has taken a dip while he recovers. i’ve been able to pay for groceries and such but now my medical bills are due again (i am disabled) and i am struggling once more. my goal to cover everything due by the end of the month is roughly $100. my p@yp@l is here.

anything helps! post will be deleted after i reach my goal, but if i happen to be slow and get extra it will go towards next month’s bills. :) rb if u cannot giveth. thank u.

Let’s fight.

What’s the worst household chore? Clearly it’s doing laundry.

As a Jewish person who suffers from bipolar disorder, I have no sympathy for Kanye West. Bipolar disorder turned me into an apathetic, irresponsible person, sure, but it never turned me into a fucking Nazi. There is no manic episode that could make me shout racist slurs, or spew such vile things. When I was manic, I turned into a promiscuous alcoholic, not a bigot. Turning into a Nazi isn't in the DSM5, I can assure you.

Kanye West has more followers on Twitter than there are Jews worldwide. He is one of the most famous people on earth. The fact he can go on an antisemitic rampage without consequences is terrifying. If you're not a Jew, your Jewish friends need your allyship more than ever right now.

Kanye West isn't an asshole because he's bipolar. He's a racist, antisemitic asshole who happens to be bipolar.
