FINANCIAL HELP NEEDED

Hey guys, I know I don't make posts like this often, but a good friend of mine is in a really deep hole with the debt from her late mother's house. She's got a new baby and her own family to care for and the debt on the house is too steep to pay for her and her sister alone.

If you can give anything, or even just share this around, I'd be super appreciative and I know she would be, too.

Thanks so much. 🫶

My fiancé’s unemployment is getting cut off this month, and unfortunately my job doesn’t pay all our bills. He’s been looking for work for 6 months with no luck. We’ve economized to death and the hits keeps coming.

We won’t make rent next month, and probably won’t have enough for groceries to last this month (our EBT may also be cut off). We also have his dad and our dog to support/feed.

Please, anything will help.

I can also take commissions for watercolor, wood burning, string art, fleece tie blankets, or chainmail art/jewelry if barter makes anyone feel more inclined to donate! (I have more pictures too)

I know I literally just asked for help with my bird, but one of my rats just had a medical emergency and needed to be taken to an emergency vet. We don't have money for food or to replace my partners broken CPAP mask. We spent literally all but $40 CAD of our food money on her vet bill and we got paid yesterday. We really need help right now. If there's anything within my power you'd like in return, please let me know. Reblogs are encouraged.

I don’t start my job for a few more days but my bills continue to mount and I won’t get any paycheck for at least a few more weeks.

I’m really desperate for any help and donations that you can provide dear reader; we are really right on grocery money and my phone remains shut off, amongst other issues. I also still have a $60 tax bill that I must pay by the 17th and if I could at least cover that I’d be thrilled, as it’s coming out of my account whether the money is there or not 😰

Any donations, reblogs, signal boosts are all appreciated so so much. Thank you for helping 💜

the thing is there's like, a point of oversaturation for everything, and it's why so many things get dropped after a few minutes. and we act like millennials or gen z kids "have short attention spans" but... that's not quite it. it's more like - we did like it. you just ruined it.

capitalism sees product A having moderate success, and then everything has to come out with their "own version" of product A (which is often exactly the same). and they dump extreme amounts of money and environmental waste into each horrible simulacrum they trot out each season.

now it's not just tiktokkers making videos; it's that instagram and even fucking tumblr both think you want live feeds and video-first programming. and it helps them, because videos are easier to sneak native ads into. the books coming out all have to have 78 buzzwords in them for SEO, or otherwise they don't get published. they are making a live-action remake of moana. i haven't googled it, but there's probably another marvel or starwars something coming out, no matter when you're reading this post.

and we are like "hi, this clone of project A completely misses the point of the original. it is soulless and colorless and miserable." and the company nods and says "yes totally. here is a different clone, but special." and we look at clone 2 and we say "nope, this one is still flat and bad, y'all" and they're like "no, totally, we hear you," and then they make another clone but this time it's, like, a joyless prequel. and by the time they've successfully rolled out "clone 89", the market is incredibly oversaturated, and the consumer is blamed because the company isn't turning a profit.

and like - take even something digital like the tumblr "live streaming" function i just mentioned. that has to take up server space and some amount of carbon footprint; just so this brokenass blue hellsite can roll out a feature that literally none of its userbase actually wants. the thing that's the kicker here: even something that doesn't have a physical production plant still impacts the environment.

and it all just feels like it's rolling out of control because like, you watch companies pour hundreds of thousands of dollars into a remake of a remake of something nobody wants anymore and you're like, not able to afford eggs anymore. and you tell the company that really what you want is a good story about survival and they say "okay so you mean a YA white protagonist has some kind of 'spicy' love triangle" and you're like - hey man i think you're misunderstanding the point of storytelling but they've already printed 76 versions of "city of blood and magic" and "queen of diamond rule" and spent literally millions of dollars on the movie "Candy Crush Killer: Coming to Eat You".

it's like being stuck in a room with a clown that keeps telling the same joke over and over but it's worse every time. and that would be fine but he keeps fucking charging you 6.99. and you keep being like "no, i know it made me laugh the first time, but that's because it was different and new" and the clown is just aggressively sitting there saying "well! plenty of people like my jokes! the reason you're bored of this is because maybe there's something wrong with you!"

Do u give money to people on tumblr?

Short answer, no. I don't reblog those posts, either. Majority of them are scammers, bonus scamster points if they use their race/gender as emotional manipulation. (Rant incoming cause this pissed me off, not you, but it had me thinking about a lot of shit). I'm sorry but I could never be on Tumblr begging for money, that's embarrassing, no offense. I commend anyone who's shameless enough to do that cause in all seriousness, couldn't be me. I feel like there are just some things you shouldn't do & asking strangers, half of which are minors, to give you their hard earned money in trade for nothing is one of them. The victim mentality of "let me spam my followers with a bunch of sob story updates about my life's issues & guilt trip them into giving me cash", no. Leave them alone. That shit's annoying, inconsiderate & entitled. & it's always the same fucking people holding their hand out. The people you're begging for cash are more than likely struggling too & need theirs. Tumblr is the worst place to ask for assistance. If you need money then you should seek a financial aid program, or I don't know, log the fuck out & get a job like everyone else? That's what people who need money do. There's no excuse, I said this before & I'll say it again, making money nowadays is easier than it has ever been cause of access to technology. Everything is virtual. You can work from home. There are people making millions eating for a fucking living on YouTube. If you're broke atp it's cause you either make excuses for why you can't work or you're just lazy. It's a choice. You don't even need to physically go out & find a real job. Make something. Perform a service. Everyone has something they can offer. Don't sit there & expect people to pay you for nothing. I hate lazy ass people who wallow in self pity, make excuses & don't contribute anything to society & simply exist to leech off others. It's parasitic & pathetic. You "can't work", but you can play around on social media every day? Hmm. You deserve to live in poverty then. You're not special. You better sell some p-ssy, d!ck or c*ke. If you're bussing it open to everyone anyway you might as well get paid for it, in the words of my wife, "make it count". Seriously, I don't respect those people. Tumblr beggars are the equivalent of irl bums who loiter at gas stations harassing passersby for change. It's fucking irritating & unfair that we live in a world where weak people are rewarded, coddled, catered to & given breaks for doing nothing. "Oh well, you know, John can't work, he's dealing with a breakup that has him in a deep depression. I just- I don't know if his mental health will allow him to work." Bro, I sympathize but at the end of the day, screw John. He has no real problems. There are people with cancer & aids right now who are working. People with no limbs are working. He can work, he's physically able to, but ultimately he won't cause he's a mentally weak man with no drive. Let's just call it what it is. I've been homeless & depressed before, I dug myself out of that hole WITH NO HELP, if people can bounce back from homelessness, addiction, abusive relationships & rebuild their lives, if people with deformities can work there's no excuse for why these lazy asses are living in houses, have food & water, with themselves being the only person they have to take care of but they're on here begging us & living off the gov't. That shit IS sad. & I get so heated over this topic cause the bastards who log on & beg aren't going to log off fucking Tumblr & make adjustments so they can afford to live, they're not going to or offer an exchange, they'll continue to do this shit. In the comfort of their home. Meanwhile, the ones they beg have to scrounge. So no motherfucker, I can't help you spend my money. Follower counts mean nothing here cause nobody gets paid on this dead app, this ain't YouTube. If you have hella followers but you still can't eat or pay your bills it's a sign your priorities are fucked. Up. Your followers owe you nothing. Have a little pride & self respect.

to each their own, but there are a lot of artists who produce alright-good music but i cant imagine cheering them on due to how flawed their character is

This isn't the first time. Back in 2010 the Freedom Flotilla for Gaza turned into a massacre when the IOF murdered 10 of the participants and imprisoned the rest. This time they can't even get out of Turkey due to 1 bogus delay after another. They are trying to bring food and desperately needed supplies to those in Gaza.

Your tags on this set:

I'm still wrapping my head around it, but there's something about how this whole storyline and Eddie's evolving (?) philosophy about the universe is in conversation with the scene at the equestrian center about choice and the randomness of the universe. Something about Buck's utter determination (for self destruction, alas), no matter what the universe throws at him. That the universe screams, but it doesn't control our fate? That we still have to make our own choices, that we are responsible for who we are. Even if and when terrible things happen to us that we can't control, what matters is how we respond to that trauma.

I just really love the overarching narrative and how this theme about agency vs. the universe - choice vs. fate - are all being told through Eddie, at the moment. How the universe may be screaming at Buck, but you are 100% right: Eddie would believe that the choice is up to Buck. That Buck has to decide what (and who) he wants. But it is funny how this stance is leaving them in this emotional stalemate. Eddie, waiting. Buck, running away, deeper into self-destruction.

Anyway, sorry for rambling in your ask box, but I have feelings and would love to hear more of your thoughts on Buck and Eddie and the Universe.

oh i love this ask! eddie and faith, eddie and fate, buddie and the universe? sign me up every. single. time.

i think you’re definitely on to something with eddie’s evolving philosophy about the universe and charlie’s role in all of it (it’s actually why i think ‘suspicion’ should get all the credit). arguably, charlie and his mum represent a turning point for eddie; a single parent turned rotten, someone eddie trusts on instinct because he sees himself in her, and someone who betrays him and her own son in the end. it’s okay not to believe in a higher power if you can believe in people, but what happens when people are not inherently good? what is the point then?

if there are too many variables to keep track of, where does that leave eddie? eddie, who thought he could prepare for everything in his life and, most importantly, in his death. the binary code he can’t predict but can welcome when it comes. and the one time - the one time - he tries to put an end to a situation he didn’t see coming, he gets shot. the one time he reaches out to those he cared about, they’re dead. he starts wondering what’s the point of everything if it all ends in fire, what’s the point of his abuela collecting debt to say goodbye to his abuelo, what’s the point of mitchell dying when they could have found another way, what’s the point. and the point, i think he’s always instinctively known but is slowly realizing just now, is love.

“our job was always to save the person in front of us. and what happens next? well, we aren’t supposed to know. it got me thinking…about the day you got shot. i almost forgot that wasn’t even our call and it made me wonder if you ever wished we hadn’t saved him,” is what buck tells eddie before letting him know the second chance eddie blindly gave charlie - out of love and nothing else - worked. they didn’t know if it would, and it did. both buck and eddie agree there is nothing to regret, even if it’s random, even if it turns out a mess.

i think eddie accepted then and there that they will never know for certain whether it is all a coincidence or if there’s a bigger picture, but there is one conclusion: you can either listen to the universe and call it love, or scream with your own voice and call it love anyway. just like with ‘suspicion’, it’s about not being defined by what you attract - be it shitty people, natural disasters, unexpected losses -, nor by the cards you’ve been dealt. it’s about eddie being a great dad and still pulling into his orbit the exact opposite, which makes him feel used and stupid but also tells us one more time about his heart and what it desires. it’s about buck being stopped multiple times on the way to his donation and still running to make it work, because that’s what he thinks he desires. and everything is drenched in love; for a son, for an old friend, for the chance to give happiness to someone else. trial and error.

that’s why eddie wouldn’t actually stop buck from doing it; he knows randomness is not the enemy because choice is what matters. but i think buck is not there yet. he frantically looks for a sign, opens his arms to possibilities because in the great numbers reside higher chances, thinks his future is written unless what he needs to change it finds him first. there is very little agency in his ‘yes’, there is so much pain in his running and hoping for the best. eddie ultimately will show him that buck found love actively, organically, effortlessly and yes, also a bit randomly.

it’s truly a great love story story of love.

PLEASE READ AND REBLOG‼️

I was recently in a car accident. I'm fine, luckily, trying to get out of the car I fell on my arm and for now, my wrist is swollen but I hope it's nothing serious. But my car ended up unrecognizable. In addition, the accident occurred when I was alone, and a couple of policemen forced me to pay them $300 so as not to arrest me with false accusations. I don't know if the insurance will cover everything because it was a terrible crash and maybe a total loss...

I'm in serious need of help. I'm a queer Latina and a writer. Currently, I don't have a permanent job and this totally took me out of my financial stability. I don't know what to do and I'm desperate.

If you can help me in any way possible, I would appreciate it. Believe me, in this situation a dollar could help me to have something to eat tomorrow.

If you can share this, I would really appreciate it.

Sooooooo that’s cool. The IRS withheld my return bc I still owed money which okay fine, but TurboTax needs to be paid and I guess I forgot about that part. I got an email saying if I don’t pay by the 13th of June, they’re gonna charge me by the 17th.

I won’t start my job until the 6th, and I likely won’t be paid before then. Sooooo I’m really stuck in a bind right now between having to still pay bills on top of this. If you can find it in your heart to help me out and donate a few dollars to hold me over until I can get started with my new job and start getting paid, I’d love you forever - you’d be doing my family and I the biggest favor.

We’ve had a lot of help come in and I cannot thank everyone here and elsewhere for all your support. I won’t ask for much longer but if you could please continue to share and spread the message, I’d appreciate it so so much 💜 thank you friend.

[gutsygoddess]

I’m not very active on tumblr nowadays, but I’m posting this everywhere I can praying for visibility. 🤞 I need help getting my life started and out of a bad environment. 🥹🩷 I’m queer and neurodivergent, and cannot work under current circumstances, therefore I have no savings. I’m currently in a house without adequate food, water, or electricity, and no transportation. thus why I can’t work while stuck here. I’ll be moving out June 3rd, but need money for it to go smoothly and to allow me to get on lease for an apartment.

anything you can give helps! even a reblog!

[sweet-suggestions]

Donation post!!!!

My friend has been dealing with pretty bad money troubles and a lot of things that he needs rn cannot be paid for.

The first few things are food and he is living paycheck to paycheck (alongside his fiance) with these bills.

The biggest issue is that he has a skin condition that progressively gets worse if he does not apply steroid cream which is expensive and he doesn't have. This is also not a condition that can be cured so he needs to continuously get this steroid cream. If he doesn't stop the progression of the disease, it'll cause severe damage on the areas (he doesn't wanna specify all the areas of the condition) of his skin which will need surgery that he will have to fully pay for since it is technically cosmetic surgery.

His condition has been stable for a while, but has recently gotten worse and worse to the point where parts of the patches are chipping off of him.

Please reblog if you cannot donate, ily
