making a new post because it's officially overdrawn and will pile up drastically if I don't get it back to the positives today because banks are predatory :(

I have commissions and while they usually start at $10 for portrait sketches I'm bumping that down to $3 for the rest of the month

Edit: Got it thank you! I'm still keeping the commission prices down for the rest of the month

How go you feel about Tumblr's "very important person on the internet" thingy ? And what if someone on the internet bought it to you because You are a very important person to Them on the internet ?

Asking for a friend...

THAT WOULD BE HILARIOUS HONESTLYKDKDDKKG BUT WAIT. YOU CAN BUY A BLUE CHECKMARK FOR A DIFFERENT BLOG THAN YOURS?? AM I MISSING SOME INFORMATIONS HERE?!¿¿¿ OR ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT THE PHYSICAL MERCH?!?!?!

ALSO?? as someone who was raised to save every penny possible ever, I have contradictory opinions ??! like if you can afford that blue mark you should probably use the money for something more important but also if you can afford it without causing a problem for futur-you then go ham????!?!???!??

Anyway im taking all of this way too seriously aren't I. Anon. ANON LOOK AT ME. YOU ARE A VERY IMPORTANT PERSON ON THE INTERNET . TO ME

Hey man, I could use a few talking points to help convince a friend that Musk is horrible. I'm reading 'Think Again' by Adam Grant (good read btws) and he says to help convince people to come to your viewpoint that it can be good to have 2 or 3 strong points instead of 10 mixed points. The counter argument I get from people about Musk being good is that he did spacex and tesla, and without him we'd be decades behind. Maybe, but I don't have good ammo. Please help as I get too angry tobe critical

Well, listen, the fascism, the transphobia, the chaos, and the unwavering support for autocrats all over the planet really ought to be enough to outweigh anything else, if you ask me. It sounds like you know some people who got excited about the companies he threw money at, and they are having a tough time updating their feelings due to current events. Or maybe they share his values and don't want to admit that.

But I'll try to offer some simple facts.

He did not do engineering with Tesla or SpaceX or even PayPal. He is a fraud. He walked into these existing businesses, where people had done actual work and engineering, threw some of his Apartheid money at them, and took credit for their work. He claims, over and over again, to be a founder of these companies, and that's just straight up a lie that is easily disproved.

He literally did nothing except throw money at people and take credit for their work. Look at every Tesla up to the (chokes back laughter) Cybertruck. Those Teslas look like cars, because they were designed by engineers. Look at the Cybertruck. When you stop laughing at what a joke it is, know this: that's what happens when Elon Musk is in charge. It's like a ten year-old with some crayons drew it on a menu at Denny's.

All of the things his weird fans claim he made possible, are things that would have happened, and were in the process of happening, without him. He literally did nothing to advance the technologies or engineering. In fact, SpaceX whistleblowers have told reporters how they had to keep Musk occupied with bullshit, so they could do the real work without him fucking it up all the time with his incompetence.

But even if he were telling the truth, even if the myth were fact, it would not outweigh the damage, the pain, the chaos, and the suffering he has inflicted on millions and millions of people, all over the world with his lies, his spread of misinformation, and his incitement of angry incels.

Also, don't forget, when Ukraine was trying to defend itself, he turned off Starlink access when they could have decisively ended Russia's aggression. A lot of people have suffered and died as a direct consequence of that action, which he took to support his buddy and fellow autocrat, Vladimir Putin.

That's more information than I think your friends will be willing to hear. Studies indicate that people who are heavily invested in the myth of a person will fight hard to hold onto the myth, and reject truth and facts, because it's so jarring to them. Musk has built a cult of personality, and maybe your friends are stuck to it.

I'd gently encourage your friends to consider one key fact: he has lied about his entire origin story, he has lied about his contributions to Tesla and SpaceX. He lies about everything, except when he posts on Twitter like a 12 year-old edgelord, because that's who he is, emotionally.

Finally, and this is for you, specifically: if your friends insist on supporting a fascist, a racist, a misogynist, or a bigot, because they think rockets are cool, maybe it's time to look for new friends.

I hope this helps.

And fuck Elon Musk.

pls help me get out of here

things regarding this apartment im trying to rent are strangely falling into place... i can kinda see this turning out for me... but at the same time i dont think i have enough money to pay for the upfront deposit the real estate agency is asking + the expenses with shipping my stuff from one place to another + feeding myself until the 15th (when i get paid). all my savings barely cover 50% of the deposit price theyre asking but i genuinely can't take this anymore, the neighbor ive been posting about started to steal from other tenants and the landlord wont say peep cause this guy paid him at least 6 months upfront (me and the other tenants are speculating but its the only explanation), so far 3 different families have moved out of the building and i feel its a matter of time they will come for my stuff (im his closest neighbor alongside a gay couple who live wall to wall with them). before this situation my one problem with this apartment was just the constant leaking and BLACK MOLD that was growing on one of the rooms that rendered that room basically unusable, and that it would make my cat's allergies break out all the time (tenko is still scratching her face to the point of bleeding every week btw) and ive spent so much money on the vet already.... so if youre reading this and feel like helping out so i can get the FUCK out of here my paypal is j.freitasteixeira@gmail.com

HELLO??

Fully blindsided right now & still processing the situation as I type this

My employer of 4 years, who has always been honest with me (sometimes to a concerning degree) has just let me know quite suddenly that she does not have the money to pay me for my last 2 weeks of work.

.

It's not totally out of the blue, I knew the company was struggling in an expand-or-die sort of way, but she's been reassuring me for months that she had investors lined up etc etc and that she'd let me know well ahead of time if I needed to start looking for another job.

.

Timesheets for the second half of September were due on the 1st-- mine totaled up to nearly full time at 19/hr. Typically payroll goes through within a couple of days or we at least hear an update. Crickets.

My internet bill was due yesterday; the charge hit my closed bank account and bounced. I was barely expecting to be able to cover my existing overdue and anticipated expenses with the paycheck i believed was coming. I reached out via text to ask for an update:

I have in fact been looking for another job-- at least on the side to make me feel more secure and allow me to live more comfortably-- but no one wants a gardener in the winter, or a gardener who can't drive, for that matter, and I hadn't begun to start looking for the sort of work from home admin job she had me doing.

.

She's been like a weird family member to me for ages now, and yet she let me do all that work the last couple weeks, knowing she couldn't pay me for it, without saying a damn word. I have emails from her asking for me to do more for her as recently as yesterday. No mention of oh btw it's gonna be volunteer labor for now. I'm feeling heartbroken and betrayed; she was one of the few 'adult' figures in my life I genuinely felt I could count on.

.

I'll double down and figure something out-- but, in the meantime, I'm SO fucked and I really need your help. Please please at least reblog this for a boost, and if you have even an extra dollar I'd be tremendously grateful if you sent it my way.

Dm for paypal or evidence of debts/bills/expenses and shit if you want it, I can't psychologically tolerate trying to dig it all up right this second

[gynandromorph]

"it's so easy to make your own comic website" no the fuck it isn't. Here's a few stupid fucking features I NEEDED for my website to do what I consider the bare minimum which was a nightmare to figure out:

Drop-down menu to select different comic titles AND PAGES WITHIN THOSE TITLES. Let's toss out the second part and say it'll only show the pages for the comic currently being targeted, the issue is virtually identical. You need a dynamic drop-down if you have more than one large comic

Jumping 20 pages ahead or back, somehow this was a big issue, you STILL NEED A WAY TO NAVIGATE comics with DOZENS AND DOZENS OF PAGES

Having a page move forward/back with the arrow keys on a keyboard

Having a terminal page, so for example, you're on page 1, you try to go back 1 page — code that makes your website not shit itself if someone tries to do that. You probably need an error landing page, too.

a "jump to page number" text field

A backend way to categorize different stories, the backend issues were such a shit show for me

A comments section, oh my god the comments section. So you need a text field that allows someone to type a message, press a button, and then it creates a new div with their message. You will need to include in this code a way to prevent someone from just straight up injecting their own code through the text field btw. But people won't be able to refer to each other without some kind of name. So you need another text field where someone can enter their name, OR build a login system and the complications the latter brings are batshit. You also need an easy way to delete comments yourself, either by holding them until approved or by having a delete button or both. You need a way to prevent bot spam too btw. I cannot stress enough how big a deal the comment section is for readers and how stupid difficult it is to make one functional

Oh, you wanted to leave patreon? You wanted a way to make money off your webcomic? Welcome to the issue of data security, because you are now handling people's financial info. A PayPal button won't track subscription payments for you. You want to track if somebody's paid, you have to code that too. Also you now DEFINITELY need a login system, a way to secure passwords stored on the site, etc.

It fucking sucks, there are legitimate reasons most people look for hosting instead of building their own site, there are reasons people get paid REALLY WELL to make websites as a job, and, frankly, it's just totally unhinged to throw the expectation of website management and coding on top of an already brutal pile of skills and work schedule needed to make a successful webcomic.

GUYS I'M CACKLING, LOOK WHAT A PALESTINE GOFUNDME SCAM ACCOUNT SENT ME AFTER I CALLED THEM OUT- (btw please look at the entire post so you're aware of the situation, more below)

Breaking News! Filthy scammer gets angry they got caught!

I hope every last penny they've stolen is wiped from their account. They won't even see that because the Tumblr is gone but, the message is the same for all scammers. Fuck off, get help. You're sick and disgusting.

Here is the real GoFundMe page

Scammers on here (and possibly on other platforms, but I simply don't know for sure) continue to steal the story and images found on this GoFundMe and instead link personal PayPal accounts through linktree's titled "GoFundMe".

From my observations they mostly target ask boxes, and literally just copy paste their pinned post, which again, is just the stolen info from the real GoFundMe with the names changed. They also reblog Palestine related posts to try and make their blog more believable.

It is possible that other stolen stories may begin circulating

I've only seen Yasmeen's info being used, but others may start trying to use other families experiences as they start getting caught(if they haven't started already). That's why it's very important to investigate things like this. They spread like wildfire, and that's how scammers take advantage of real people in need.

I would say to tread very carefully and look for inconsistencies or things that seem suspicious. Like the linktree link. I have copy/pasted the entire stories into a search engine(which is how I found the real GoFundMe) to check as well. There are many more posts (much more informational, and widespread than this one) on the topic, and I ask you to please check them out. Please stay informed and aware of potential scammers, and think before you reblog!!

Friends, please spread this around, read up on this if you can.

[weebsinstash]

Wait hold on when did I threaten you anywhere? I just wanted to talk is all I wasn't going to harm you in any way nor did I say i was. I never sent you any threats. If you think i threatened you, you made that up in your own head. If you wanted me to go away and not come back you should have just said so? It's not really harassment if you never told me not to come and I didn't knock on your door to bother you. I just waited outside and you never told me to go away or that you didn't want me there. I have never ever sent you a physical threat. Idk what 'evidence' you're talking about but I never broke the law anywhere in this situation. Your address is publicly available information btw

I think there's actually a legal precedent for me to tell you to go fuck yourself and leave me alone at least one last time before i officially press charges

But

I've told you multiple times to leave me alone and I literally have DMs of the multiple, countless accounts you have contacted me on after being told to leave me alone. I even keep turning off anon asks so that you would have to create accounts so that every ask and instance of harassment can be directly linked back to you and you have created HUNDREDS of accounts like a total loser, literally everyone has no idea why you're still doing this, we just started assuming you were deeply mentally ill and becoming concerned

First off we both know you weren't outside, you most likely don't even know how to drive or can afford your own gas, but you still threatened being outside a previous address and have threatened to come and see me multiple times and that's still very much a threat, very much illegal in the context of your actions

"Public information?" You don't even know how these topics work. You found an old post on an old blog from years ago, a PayPal link containing ONLY my full name which beyond that one post on a completely separate blog was never posted elsewhere, which you then started sending my full name around to strangers attaching it to both my blogs where it was not public, you've reuploaded my pictures to other websites, made other accounts using my face and name, and then you proceeded to make a public records request using that name and then MESSAGED OTHER PEOPLE AND MADE POSTS WITH AN OLD ADDRESS AND MY FAMILY MEMBERS' NAMES and then you have the nerve to fuck around and send an ask that you're outside what you genuinely believe is my current fucking home?

It would literally be quicker for me to tell you the things you did that DIDN'T break the law you dumbass fucking teenager. alleged teenager anyways; to be blunt the reason i only still believe you're young is because you're quite frankly a fucking idiot with no life experience and it shows. I literally still have screenshots of the last time you made a fake dating profile with my stolen picture, which, you're also reuploading my family member's pictures which is also fucking illegal

I also want to point out

EVERYONE LOOK AT THIS ABSOLUTE FUCKING MORON

"We're not even in the same state, you can't get me arrested, publicly spreading your private information on a public platform against your consent isn't illegal" oh my god you should have died in the womb, the cope is always turned up to 200 with you, do you take a medication for that. I'm literally fucking baiting you into deeper incriminating yourself and you are so far up your own ass you think I'm just falling for your pointless rage bait. I've literally told you multiple times that you could literally just Google how you reuploading my photos and even slightly implying you're me is a crime and then you're doing that on dating sites which has undertones of sexual violence and now your cringe ass is trying to use IP grabber links as if you didn't literally tell me how many miles away you were and that's kind of all I need

You've already threatened me. I've already told you to leave me the fuck alone. You literally impersonated multiple people and were still told to leave me alone. Even when you deactivate these accounts, these asks still sit in my inbox, the DMs of you admitting you broke the law are still easily accessible to me, the screenshots still in my phone, the records in tumblr's databases leading back to your registration email, so on so forth. You also keep harassing other people. Countless other people are fucking tired of this. Since I DO know what's legal to outright say to you I won't say what I'm sure many of us are thinking but, small dogs bark the loudest, and also, you're a coward, and a raging misogynist, and I pity the relationship you must have with your family that you spent your Christmas thinking about me

Fuck off and also eat your own shit and apologize to your parents and also take up staring into the sun as a hobby

[tommyssupercoolblog]

I can't believe I was scammed by and then posted about a scammer pretending to be in Palestine and needing insulin when they aren't Palestinian or diabetic and then watched like ten people on my dashboard fall for the same scammer under different usernames and profile pictures, often with literally copy pasted pasages if not their entire page like damn THIS ONE PERSON IS REALLY MAKING AN EFFORT. They're everywhere!!!! What the fuck!!!

Whoever's behind this scam I want you to know that doing this is absolutely fucking awful. Straight up. And you should be ashamed of yourself. People are fucking dying right now in a brand new Holocaust and all you can think about it stealing from people actively trying to save lives. Every dollar that gets sent to you could have saved a life, could have been the world to someone. Instead it's going to you. I can't believe how horrible this is. I can only hope you grow a conscience and delete all your blogs and rat out any other scammers you know in the process, instead of literally KILLING PEOPLE by taking donations and resources.

Anyway, remember:

PayPal isn't available in Palestine. Check what they're using to fundraise and even if it isn't PayPal, make sure it's also available for Palestinians and Palestinian banks

Trace image sources/search by image

Google names, usernames, and lines from bios, posts, etc

It's possible for someone to be Palestinian and need insulin btw, it's just that this specific scammer is claiming to be in that situation when they aren't. CHECK EVERYTHING BEFORE YOU REBLOG A DONATION POST, CHECK EVERYTHING BEFORE YOU DONATE YOURSELF. don't let people steal from the Palestinians who need our help.

[jnnmclm]

Hi! I, JOANNE MACALAM is speaking up towards the infamous notorious donation scammer LAURA DERAMAS.

I am a filipina based in USA. Ive known LD through a childhood friend of mine back home.

Never met her personally. Just like all of you here I too am scammed into some sort by her. As you can see, Laura has been using me as her bank account. Zelle, Venmo, Cash App and even Paypal.

Honestly, it didn’t cross my mind that this is all just her bullshit. Growing up in the Philippines, these things could possibly happen. I started to doubt her when my paypal account was charged with $1,800.00 that was sent by a guy. I informed her about the matter and she told me that it was a guy who scammed her of paying after she sent some “photos/videos” in exchange of money. LOL now up to this day I still owe Paypal $1,800.00. Stopped doing her favors, but she kept on messaging me all the damn time. Calling me even in the middle of my work. Even at night when am already sleeping. Pleading to please do her another favor. I tried calling paypal. There is nothing I can do, I now owe $ 1,800. This girl dont take NO for an answer.

I started giving her my cash app, venmo and zelle since I cannot use my paypal anymore just so she will stop. Always saying it will be the LAST TIME. But of course its not, there is just always something going on with her life. And I keep feeling sorry for her. I can’t give her money, I dont have those. I barely make it here in America plus sending money to my family in the Philippines, supporting my siblings with school. I have 7 sibs btw and my dad has already passed so its just me and my mama. Coming from a poor family, I sympathized for her thinking that there is nothing I can lose if I help her, I can’t help her monetarily so by me being her point of access to help here in USA to Philippines is okay. It won’t hurt nobody or so I thought.

Earlier this year, there was a network outage in my state, after it was back, I can no longer use my zelle. I did not suspect that my Zelle acc was reported by some of y’all. I was thinking it was the network outage. I tried to call my bank, zelle, network provider but I cant get no answer, they keep passing me to each other, I changed my number. Same thing. I can’t use zelle. And instead of dwelling about things that are beyond my control, I just let it go. I told Laura of what happened and that I can no longer help her through Zelle. Now you might wonder, why are you still helping her? Didn’t some of you keep helping her because she just have this fucking annoying tactics that will make you fall for it. The emojis urgh! The HUHUHU every end of a sentence. I am so done with it.

I kept ignoring her, muted her. Didn’t answer to her calls. Because now she is “borrowing” money from me. I dont have money to lend. Then I got a notification of a money transfer in one of my remaining account, checked my messages and then there was her telling me someone send money to me and apologized that she didn’t asked permission. What can I do at this point? Its not my money. When I opened the app and check, with an attached note from “Tmblr”, it poked my interest. Whats in tmblr? Why does people give her money this much? The other night, I created this account and searched for her name. I swear, my yawning was replaced with cold sweat, shaking hands and anxiety. The bitch has been scamming ppl! I saw Kyra45 post about her. I reached out. And I dig deep down to all these mess. Kyra45 informed me that my name, picture even my dog and my plant business in the Philippines was used in an account. I was livid, mortified and most of all, humiliated.

Tonight, what lead me to writing this is because I searched for my name in the search engine and I was dumbfounded. As a woman who is trying to make my life better, leaving my family to provide a better life? This is too much. My trust for this lady is broken, my image is broken. My identity was stolen. She made my brother dead, my family homeless and me going back and barely afford college.

I messaged her tonight, I informed her what I found out and how disappointed and disgusted I am to her doings, making profit out of our brothers and sisters in Palestine and Gaza. This behavior has a special spot in hell.

I apologize for all of you of what Laura Deramas has caused. Unfortunately, I cant make all your money come back. I will stopped my communication with her as I dont want to be a vessel of her scams. From the bottom of my heart, I am really sorry, I should’ve known better. May this be a lesson for all of us. Continue to be compassionate to others and keep spreading kindness.

Xoxo, Joanne
