I’m moving out next Friday and need to buy a ton of things (like a microwave, pots/pans, and various other essentials). So! If you’d like to donate/signal boost this I’d really appreciate it!
………….we knew this shit was an issue that staff has been ignoring for ages but it finally came to bite them in the ass
hey general psa that in the notes theres a bunch of really stupid misinformation bullshit (as i should have expected) abt how this is a fandom thing, about fanart/fanfiction, and i would just like to clarify for as many people as i can that this is not a fandom thing at all, it is an issue targeting IRL minors.
minors have been running “sex work” blogs, selling private snapchats, et cetera, using tumblr as their platforms. there are also adult rings of CP (photographs and videos of IRL minors) distributors on tumblr that have managed to slip by filters. this is the issue being looked into by law enforcement, this is the issue being pursued by tumblr, and it is the reason the purge is being done so hastily and messily (protection of minors being sexually trafficked is generally more important than avoiding Jane Doe #193′s doctor who blog being nuked by accident). reporting fandom blogs to tumblr for written content and fanart is only going to confuse the matter further and make it more likely that minors will be put at greater risk (if fake reports come in massive quantities and drown out the real reports or make alarm fatigue likely).
Pittsburgh friends, the local library has put together a list of resources for those dealing with the aftermath of the shooting. They may update it as new info comes in, but for those who can’t click through, here’s the info as of 10/27.
We are deeply saddened by the tragedy in Squirrel
Hill. All Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh locations are open for regular
business hours for community members to gather, grieve and support one
another during this terrible time. Our hearts are with our community and
the family and friends of those involved.
Our librarians are compiling information and resources related to
Saturday’s tragic events and the grief and healing that will follow.
Ways to seek help or show support:
An FBI assistance line for families is set up at 412.432.4400.
Update (10/27/18 6:30pm): The victim’s assistance center has been
moved to the Jewish Community Center in Squirrel Hill. Please call
412.342.4400 for more information.
Vitalant, formerly Central Blood Bank, is asking people who can donate blood do so at one of their centers.
Resources to provide guidance for child care providers,
parents, caregivers and others with the aftermath of mass shootings and
other acts of violence:
I’m planning on moving out of my parents’ house and living independently. I’m a little low on the funds to make this move possible so if you want to help here’s my ko-fi!!
And, for those wondering my commissions are still open as well!
So, since my family is constantly low on food and my siblings often have to skip meals or go hungry because all our money is going to pay bills.
I figured this would be a better way for people to help, if they choose to!
And, with this problem refusing to let up even when my mom works literally 4 jobs…I’d REALLY appreciate anything donated and will offer rwby (or, any fanart from fandoms I’m apart of) ship doodles in return.
Even a few dollars helps! Please consider reblogging, if you’re not in a position to give. Help save this rare and beautiful forest, deep in Appalachia.
People keep wanting to know about things they can do to help save the planet. This is one way to do that.
