This is my THIRD time coming back to Tumbler and it's never been by choice. Gender: both of the classics 🚻 ☆ Age: old ☆ Nothing else to see here. Shoo. Bye. Get off my Tumbler.

I have an unfortunate announcement to make.

I am no longer able to donate to any campaigns. And I'm afraid this may be permanent.

I wish this was not the case. However, I cannot change that. Please understand that this is not by choice. Without revealing anything personal, I quite literally can not donate any more money.

If you have a way to donate, please, please, please do. I am still taking commissions for almost anything - drawn, written, even animated - starting at any price that you can afford, providing the money goes either to a vetted GFM or to e-sims.

37 people were illegally detained in Bellingham, Washington for the ‘crime’ of speaking Spanish. This is so fucking inhumane and cruel

⬆️ racial unity now is matching funds for the detainees and their families. please help if you can.

it's shameful how long i had to look to find an article covering this story that gives more information besides saying "37 undocumented workers were arrested wednesday." cascadia news and the AP were the only sources i found that include any journalism whatsoever beyond the police report.

This is my daughter, Salma, only three months old, born into this "cruel war that has been killing innocent people for two years and is still ongoing." Since her birth, she has felt nothing but fear and hunger, deprived of her most basic rights. She needs food, safety, and a dignified life that every child deserves. Therefore, I appeal to you from the bottom of my heart to support her and extend a helping hand to save her. Your donation today could make a difference in saving her from certain death. Donate here

Hey! While you're here, I have a friend who is in dire straits, just escaped an abusive home & is dealing with several unexpected hurdles financially and with violently turbulent mental health. Please commission, donate, or boost.

This post is remaining pinned because the situation is still ongoing, if you haven't already donated or spread, consider doing so.

the thing is that whenever someone says "pluto IS a planet" you don't know if they're actually a space fan who is prepared to love and cherish all the other bodies that would become planets if pluto was promoted again or the dumbest motherfucker on earth who thinks science should have stopped when they left 3rd grade

i have no argument as to why pluto should be a planet other than “it’s probably really sad that it isn’t a planet anymore” and i’ll stand by it god damn it

but pluto loves his new friends

My astronomy professor pointed out that Pluto went from being just another planet to being the model specimen and best known example of a whole new class of objects, and argued that that's a promotion not a demotion.

To me, Pluto is a planet for grammar reasons.

"Planet" is a noun, and "dwarf" is an adjective describing it. ("What kind of planet?" "A dwarf planet!") All dwarf planets are planets, but not all planets are dwarf planets.

Pluto is grammatically a planet.

Sadly the IAU, when defining the words "planet" and "dwarf planet", explicitly excluded that interpretation. Dwarf planets are not at all planets, according to the IAU. Having dwarf planets be a subcategory of planet was a proposed idea, and it was rejected.

I'm sorry, the IAU is trying to take on the entire adjective-noun relationship in the English language? In any language? Hold on, I must make popcorn for this epic fail.

Ask any schoolchild around the world about adjectives and offer planets and dwarf planets as examples, and they'll know what to do.

Pluto is a planet. The IAU cannot win against language itself. How amusing to even try.

Help Ammar's family 🍉

A year has passed since the October 7 war, the Gaza Strip war. In this war, Ammar Hammad was born in harsh conditions. He was 3 months old and could not breastfeed from his mother because she suffers from asthma in the lungs and no milk comes down in her udder. There is a report from Nasser Hospital about this. Ammar needs about 10 packs of milk to help him live in these conditions, in addition to diapers and his special clothes. In addition, Ammar's son suffers from a complete tear in the cruciate ligament and cannot work. Therefore, Ammar needs your help to stay alive.
Your donation is part of saving our lives from death. I hope you donate 20$

  • Because my campaign was stopped due to problems, a new campaign was created. My friends, I hope you will spread my campaign and donate to us.
  • Verified : @90-ghost

samah's original campaign and account are shared by 90-ghost, but it was shut down as her organiser's bank account was deactivated

currently no one has donated to her new campaign yet

$0 / $50,000

she also still needs donations quickly to be sent to her for her son's injection - see here for when she asked me for this before

this injection helps him as they currently have no way to receive the heart surgery he needs until they can leave gaza

$10 / $166

$159 / $1,500

i have set this amount up for her gofundme campaign as a new temporary goal for samah - her tent was once again destroyed by israel forces attacking, so she has been forced to reside in the ruins of her old house, which has no roof at all

she urgently needs a winter tent to keep her baby warm; the house is extremely cold, alongside the rain constantly threatening to leak in, with no proper insulation.

samah was not able to upload this video, so i have done so for her with her permission - this is what her living conditions are currently like.

please let's make sure ammar does not freeze to death this winter.

in addition, i am still holding onto the funds raised for ammar's injection so far on my ko-fi, which he still urgently needs...

$0 / $55

but even more urgently, samah has run out of milk for him since yesterday, and ammar has been forced to drink plain water. this doesn't give him nearly the amount of nutrients he needs

so please help her quickly get this amount by sending it to my ko-fi link above. this amount is very small if we all band together to help; if 5 people donated $10, we would have essentially reached this goal already

the milk is most important, then the injection, then the tent - thus, the injection and milk will be gathered from funds sent to my ko-fi, while her tent will be from funds sent to her gofundme campaign

$174 / $1,900

unfortunately, no one donated any money for milk. samah was able to receive $25 from someone else in gaza who offered to help, and we had to skim off some amount from the donation pool for ammar's injection as well to supplement the donation i could make for this

she ended up needing $74 total in order to receive it as $55 after fees. i hope we will be able to help her in the future when ammar needs milk again

$66 / $245

for now, we have lost $20 off of the savings for his injection, but i hope we can reach what we need for it soon

since it seems roughly 29%-32% of the currency is lost when reaching samah, i have also increased the amount of the temporary goals so that what we send to her will be received as the actual amount she needs

please help her as much as possible, she is in dire need of a tent and ammar's injection still

$194 / $1,900

$66 / $245

please consider donating to the ko-fi as well so that ammar can have this urgent injection - this is unfortunately something he badly needs

a painkiller in place of this injection would be almost the same price without alleviating the problem, only the pain, so please consider helping this baby suffering from extreme heart pain get his injection

$260 / $1,900

$66 / $245

UPDATE: NEW LINK! Yahya and his family were displaced by the IOF, and are currently residing in Deir al-Balah, south-central Gaza.

Life as displaced Gazans was already extremely difficult for them. Food is very scarce, and their living conditions leave them exposed to the elements. Here is the frequent condition of their tent now that the winter rains have come:

Then, Yahya’s father was injured. Some cartilage was damaged in his neck, and doctors say he requires IMMEDIATE surgery to avoid permanent paralysis.

Yahya and his family previously had another campaign, but it was suddenly shut down by GFM with no explanation. They have created a new one, but it has EXTREMELY LOW FUNDS.

The surgery is a stifling €15,000 euros (about $15,729 USD). Yahya and his family have no hope of paying for it without your help.

I am currently watching an elderly loved one lose their mobility, and it is an extremely heartbreaking and isolating situation. I cannot imagine what Yahya and his family are going through, having no social or financial support and only minimal medical care.

Please give what you can to this family. You are their only hope to save their beloved father’s mobility!

UPDATE: €1,433 out of €9,000

Yahya’s father’s condition continues to deteriorate!! He is in intensive care, and his family and doctors are worried for him! Please share the family’s campaign and donate what you can so they can get his surgery as soon as possible!! Funds are still very low, we have a long way to go!

UPDATE: €1,634 out of €9000

Progress is slow, please keep sharing and make your own posts for Yahya and his family💔

UPDATE: €1,693 out of €9,000

Last donation was 9 hours ago!!! Yahya’s father is back in the ICU, he desperately needs this surgery! Please do whatever you can to support this family and save their father!!

shared by 90-ghost, shared by gaza-evacuation-funds and vetted by association

please help yahya's father, as mentioned and shown above he is in intensive care in desperate need of help. he is actively dying and needs this surgery as quickly as possible, please help this campaign as much as you can

he needs €7,204 more to reach his goal; please, let's focus on reaching at least the halfway point of €4500 first, and then let's keep going to the end

€1,793 / €9,000

€2,240 / €9,000

we have managed to pass €2k now! if we can reach €2700, then we will be 30% of the way to the goal - i hope we can work hard to hit this quickly for yahya and his father

no donations again today. reminder once more that this is an urgent surgery

no donations for the second day; please, this movement has already been incredibly slow for an urgently required surgery, they cannot afford to have so many days where no donation is given at all

BABY URGENTLY NEEDS SURGERY FOR 3RD DEGREE BURNS!

Kamal, who is only 1 year old, suffered 3rd degree burns after Deir-al-Balah was bombed by the iof! He urgently needs a skin graft costing $5,000!

The campaign has raised $3,119 so far, so they only need $1,881! If they can raise this much then there is no excuse why we can't get them to 5k.

Tagging for reach:

NEW SHORT TERM GOAL: $6,400.

Please read this update here. If this is not raised by Sunday, it is uncertain if Kamal can stay in hospital. This puts his health at severe risk.

$4,196 / $6,400. Donations have slowed down too much for the urgency of Kamal's conditon.

Sorry for tagging more than normal, but this is urgent. Please boost, thank you.

Kamal is able to stay in hospital, but they still urgently need funds for his burn treatment. The longer it takes, the higher the cost will be. And don't forget this campaign is supporting 3 families but the last donation was 17 HOURS ago!!!!!!

Please donate if you can and share!!!!!

They have raised $5,339 and the last donation was 5 hours ago. Please continue donating if you can and sharing and queueing their campaign!!!

Tagging for a boost please, thank you

We went through a difficult day, there was shelling near our displacement site in Deir al-Balah. The situation here is tragic, although we survived the shelling, we did not escape hunger and the bitter cold. Food prices are very expensive, the price of a kilo of flour ranges from 6 dollar All the necessities of life are very expensive. Also, when it rains, water seeps into us and we are exposed to drowning, as happened the previous two days.

I GOT 10 MINUTES LEFT OF BEING A TEENAGER I GOTTA DO SOMETHING REBELLIOUS UH

guess who just put paper in the non-recycling. nnnnYEHAWH

Looking back on this as a 20 year old, I now realise how utterly irresponsible I behaved. I apologise. I have since removed the paper and put it in the recycling. I hope you can forgive me for my foolish and reckless behaviour. I can assure you it will not happen again. I am disgusted with myself.
