Yeah, regarding that suicide hotline post I reblogged: I genuinely worry, with the number of mentally ill people on this site trying to live with and/or ease their mental illness, that some of these people are going to get tricked by Scientologist anti-psychiatry propaganda. I mean, that’s how cults lure people in; they pick people who feel there’s something missing or wrong with their lives and take advantage of them by claiming to have the solution to all their problems.

I’ve joked in the past about “What if the Church of Scientology got a Tumblr?” but there’s a part of me that’s worried that there are Scientologists on Tumblr trying to spread dangerous misinformation about mental health.

I hope that part of me is wrong.

UPDATE: So, uh, turns out a branch of $cientology technically HAS made Tumblr blogs. Several of them. If you see any blogs promoting a drug rehab facility called “Narconon”, please be aware that they ARE associated with the Church of $cientology, and they have a rather troubling history: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Narconon

2ND UPDATE: Same goes for any blogs promoting Citizens Commission on Human Rights (CCHR) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Citizens_Commission_on_Human_Rights#Controversies_and_criticisms

My Service Dog got attacked. (Lend a hand?)

This is Gia. She is the sweetest, most loving service dog. She was basically retired, but still does her job occasionally. She got mauled by another dog about a week ago, and the image on the right is her now. 
For More Images/Proof: Go Here *GRAPHIC*

Now, I’m not asking for anyone to cover her vet fees, or to help us put the other dog down. What we REALLY need, is some Pajamas for Gia. I have created a wishlist of Jammies for her. Now, you’re probably asking why she needs Jammies. She is a double coated dog, a chow chow. Without her coat, she can’t keep herself warm or regulate her temperature. And we live in Ohio, where it gets very cold. Our power has already gone out once this winter, Gia won’t be okay if she gets too cold. She can’t go outside, she can’t sleep, she can’t heal. These pajamas also help to keep the bandage on her neck stable, and keeps her from rubbing it off. She is bleeding, oozing over herself constantly, so we need a lot of pajamas to keep rotating them. They won’t just get used once, they’ll be used all winter and through the spring even! Until she is healed, they will be used and very appreciated. 

If you can’t help us by buying her some pajamas, can you please reblog this? 
We got hit with $3000 of vet bills that we do not have the money for. And she is due for another surgery to remove the rest of the dead skin next week. 

Here are My Commissions if you can’t buy her one, but want to help!
And Here is My Ko-Fi If you’d rather that. 

And HERE IS HER WISHLIST. 

Thank you SO much for sharing and helping out! 

Please don’t let this post die down! Someone was SO wonderful and already bought her a sweater so she can go outside when it snows. If that person wants to message me, I’ll send them pictures of her in it (if they want!) !!!

Please keep sharing ♡ Gia really needs clothes so she doesn’t get cold. Her face is swelling and she is going to the vet on Monday to get it checked out.

Help me move out of my emotionally abusive home

Remaking this post because my original one has lost all traction

I’m a queer, depressed, autistic woman, and I need to move out of my parent’s house and away from my abusive father as soon as I can.

I’m currently in college studying floristry, and thus my ability to work is limited. I’m currently only able to work 10 hours a week on minimum wage, which makes saving extremely difficult.

My fatheris extremely violent tempered and emotionally abusive, and I can’t even come out for fear of how he’ll react. He’s hindering my depression recovery and making college all the harder. Living with him is a miserable nightmare and I can’t stand it anymore.

If you can, please donate to help me raise money faster so I can get out as soon as I can.

My PayPal is here

Anything you can spare will help. If you can’t donate, please reblog so more people can see this. Thank you so much for whichever way you help. I appreciate it so much.

Guys I’ve lost my job which means I now have no income at all. Please reblog this or donate if you can

Guys my dad has threatened to kick me out by the end of the week. I don’t know if he’s really going to do it but since I had to barricade myself in my room whilst he slammed on my door threatening to throw me out and kill my hamster, I frankly want to be out of here as soon as possible. Please help me

Save a life

Totes good data.

The part of this I don’t like is “they will most likely move on to an easier target.” Like I’m supposed to feel fine about someone else with a less sturdy door getting ripped off?

Change your neighbor’s screws too

Channel your inner dad

Chage everyone’s screws

Mythbusters did this but not exactly on purpose, they put together a door to test how to kick it down and didn’t have the right sized screws so they used the longer ones and even Jamie running at speed had trouble breaking the door with the longer screws

Not only will longer screws keep you safer, they also prevent your door from sagging over time, which leads to scraping or your door not closing properly.

✍🏽✍🏽✍🏽

make sure you install longer screws on the hinges too. contractors often cut corners by using whatever they have lying around and s door can be kicked off from the hinge side too. this is especially important with older homes and apartments. depending on the maintenance standards (if there are any), a door that has been repaired or replaced could have mismatched screws.

Just a random note.

LGBT BRAZILIANS TAKE CARE WITH DATING APPS AND GRINDR, THEY WILL BE USED TO TARGET VICTIMS PLEASE SIGNAL BOOST

ALSO!!!!!!!!!!!!

In Whatsapp (the most used messaging app in Brazil), if you receive a contact from a “juridical support group for LGBT+ people who are being harassed” called “REAJA”, DO NOT INTERACT!!!!!!! Apparently, this is not a real support group but it’s a trap that are targeting LGBT+ people to physically harm them. They people behind “REAJA” have very malicious intentions.

Be careful and stay safe!!!!!!!

I received the contact of Reaja on sunday night. My friends and I thought it seemed pretty weird so we blocked it… We were right.

Watch: It’s your right to share your salary, not doing so could be holding you back.

At my last company, one day someone in accounting approached me at lunch and quietly told me I need to ask for a raise because I was way underpaid.

They gave me a number to shoot for.  It was about twice than what I had been making at the time.

So I went online, did some research, found some figures backing up my claim, put it all together and went to my boss.

I got what I asked for.

If it hadn’t been for that person in accounting telling me I was way underpaid, I’d have never known.  I went from barely scraping by to being able to have a savings account and getting all my debts paid thanks to them.

You should at least check sites like salary.com to start the process of seeing what you should be making.

Because this is crucially important

Except for the fact that 90% of the time you are under contract not to talk about your salary otherwise the company can sue you. Every job I’ve had I’ve had to sign that I won’t discuss my pay with other employees otherwise my employment is terminated and the company will take legal action. 

It’s actually illegal for companies to forbid wage discussion, they’re just counting on you not knowing your rights.

Important

Fuck.

If you scrolled right past this – GO THE FUCK BACK UP – this is a huge PSA

jfc I’ll be having some words with some folks

Since I remember you speaking of this
