Today i got an ask from a blog claiming to belong to an animal shelter in the philippines.
I was about to dismiss it immediately. Like... "thankyou so much luv ya" isn't professional fund raising behaviour lmao. but then i saw that they've got a facebook linked....
The facebook has 75k followers and 60k likes, with an extensive post history and reviews dating back to late 2019. I even found an article from 2020 mentioning them. The article has information on them and the work they have been doing as a nonrpofit since 2019. The tumblr is very new. So, what's going on here?
I texted them! (I know i made a grammar mistake. Shut) They haven't gotten back to me yet, but I did get an automated message. The paypal link looks like it checks out right? No! The facebook doesn't say "bachprojectphil" anywhere. It's "bachprojectph" everywhere I looked. Clicking the e-mail from the message opened p@ypal immediately.
However, when I did the same on the tumblr post...
BOTH links opened this. It is a p@ypal site, but it's a profile, not the direct donation link. This link, or this username ending in "phil" appears nowhere else. If it was true that "they've gotten banned" and had to reregister to tumblr, the @aypal would still be the one legit one from facebook.
What I think is going on, is that this scammer took the name of a legitemate animal shelter, made a p@ypal that resembles theirs, and inserted a hyperlink over the actual email address that leads to their account.
I am still waiting on an actual response from a human, will reblog if anything changes but I feel like i've got a good case against the tumblr person as it is.
Support the actual Bach Project Philippines through their facebook.
The Iranian Regime is going to execute rapper Toomaj Salehi for supporting protests of Jina Amini’s murder by the regime in his songs.
Iranian activist Elica Le Bon says, “Iranians in the diaspora picked up on the fact that the regime tends not to execute people who become known to the international community. We have seen many examples of prisoners that were either released on bail or had their sentences commuted through our “say their names to save their lives” campaign on social media, using hashtags to garner attention for their causes, and even before social media existed, through getting the stories of political prisoners to international media outlets. Once reported on, and once the eyes shift to the regime and the reality of its pending brutality, realizing that the action is not worth the repercussions, we have seen them back down and not execute. For that reason, this is part of an urgent campaign for readers to talk about Toomaj as much as you can, using the hashtag #FreeToomaj or #ToomajSalehi. Every comment makes a difference, and if we were wrong, what did we lose by trying?”
i need people to get normal about schizophrenia and not just in the disability rights way. like you guys need to get better at depicting characters as schizophrenic and learn when it crosses the line from representation to belittling.
