scotthowls:

friendly request; can we all jointly agree to tag gifs of Allison cutting her wrist with some type of warning for self harm? Even the shot where she brings the knife up is iffy (for me personally, for safeties sake I think it should be tagged), but the shot of her actually slicing herself should definitely always be tagged.

Just pls tag those gifs with ‘self harm tw’ or ‘cutting tw’ it could really endanger somebody to see that imagery without warning.

Twisted premieres tonight, so here’s a heads up that the “twisted” tag is full of porn. TwistedABCf also seems to be in use and has the benefit of not being filled with porn.

fuckyeahhardfemme:

hey there Mathu is cute & all but we just found out that he is also an unapologetic racist who is fond of blackface/raceface so you may not want to reblog him so much. Sorry I didn’t send this with the first message: receipts are on hellnoracistdrag. It’s difficult to know who is problematic & who is not; we’ve reblogged them too unfortunately! And jsyk we love you, continue what you are doing. :3 <3

Thank you very much for that tip & the receipts! I will be taking that picture down and hope all mods see this and take it in. - Lex (:

LGBT Laughs: Creepshots is back. And they have migrated to Tumblr.

This needs to fucking stop.  This is an absolute invasion of women, this is disgusting, and this Tumblr needs to go away.

We need to report both the Twitter and the Tumblr.

Creepshots is a website for men to take “sexy” pictures of unsuspecting women, and from their ‘About Us’ section it states: “Creepshots are CANDID pictures.  If a person is posing or aware that a picture is being taken, then it is no longer a creepshot.”  

These men take pictures of women who are unaware and post them.

 And then under their rules for getting the pictures removed?  One of the two options is to “appreciate” the fact that some fucking gross man took a picture of you.

Signal boost.

I’ve sent a report to tumblr and you should too.

To report a blog to tumblr, you need to email the full URL and name of the blog to tumblr.

Let’s get it taken down!

PLEASE SIGNAL BOOST

WE NEED TO REPORT THEM HERE’S HOW

there’s two ways-it’s more effective if you do both:

1) Block them here and then report for harassment.

2) You can also email tumblr at abuse@tumblr.com and tell them to ban creepshots. Provide them with the url to the blog (creepshots.tumblr.com) and explain why they should be banned. If you’re too lazy to write out an email, you can use mine:

Hello tumblr staff,

Please remove/ban the blog creepshots.tumblr.com. They post demeaning, humiliating and objectifying pictures of women (typically their asses and breasts and even under their skirts) that they take without their permission on the street and in public. These guys were banned and deleted from reddit. Can you really say that tumblr is less of a safe respectable place than reddit?

What they are doing is wrong. Many, many users on tumblr feel violated and unsafe by this blog’s presence in the tumblr community. These men are violating the privacy of women everywhere. They specifically state in their about me: “Creepshots are CANDID pictures. If a person is posing or aware that a picture is being taken, then it is no longer a creepshot. A true creepshot captures the natural sexy, embarrassing or funny aspect of the subject mater/person without their knowledge.” They specifically state that only accept pictures of people whose privacy has been violated (source: http://creepshots.tumblr.com/AboutUs).

Please do something to show that you care about the safety and dignity of women, particularly the women in the tumblr community. If you don’t care about that, can you at least ban/delete them in the name of protecting yourself from legal liability? because there’s a strong likelihood that some of those pictures are of underaged girls. Given that these men are taking pics of young women they don’t know, how can they know their ages for certain? All it takes is one concerned parent or adolescent seeing their picture on that site, and if you don’t take it down, legal action could be taken against you.

So please, in the name of what is ethical and right and even legally responsible and smart, delete creepshots. Thank you.

Sincerely,

________ (tumblr username/name)

If we use both methods, we’ll be more successful. LET’S FLOOD THE TUMBLR EMAIL WITH DEMANDS THESE FUCKERS GET TAKEN DOWN. WE CAN DO THIS.

I'm extreme.: If I may have your attention pls

alcoholicgifts:

Okay so this is embarrassing, but necessary at the moment. I’m in a slight bind financially and I could use some help. I’ve talked about having anxiety a bit on my blog, and that extends to the dentist’s office. I’ve needed to get my wisdom teeth taken out for a while now, but even the thought of going to the dentist kicks my anxiety off something serious. Hell, even writing that out is making my heart pound. Anyway, I’ll get to my point.

As you guys know, I lost my job back in March, and thus my insurance. I received a letter telling me about COBRA benefits for medical, dental, and vision, so I signed on for the latter two (the medical is waaaayyyyy too expensive, but that’s a rant for another post). What I didn’t know was that in order for my coverage to start, I basically have to pay what I owe from March to now which is $150.00. The amount, thankfully, isn’t too bad but unfortunately it’s money that I don’t have right now. If I were to keep letting my anxiety fuel my decision, I probably would continue to put off going in to the dentist’s, but now I’m realizing that’s not an option anymore. One of my bottom wisdom teeth is pushing against the rest of my teeth, and I’m sure you can imagine how good that doesn’t feel. It’s hurting more than it has before, and I’m afraid that it might be infected, so I need to get it taken care of as soon as possible.

There’s a donate button on my blog, or click here if you can help. Boosting this will help as well. :) Thank you all for whatever you can do! Since this wouldn’t be me without a gif, here you go:

Saw this somewhere else and felt the need to post it cause no one else ever really tells you this stuff

My mom never really noticed. She noticed when she was breast feeding my little brother and blood started coming out instead of milk. 

My mom said she felt and saw a little lump in the shower. She was lucky enough she found it at stage 2

My mom had a mammogram. The radiologist thought the spots were just regular calcium deposits. 
Turns out it was triple negative breast cancer that had spread to her lymph nods. Mastectomy, radiation and chemo saved her life.
This could SAVE a life.

this retailer sells a halal nail polish. this allows for oxygen and water to go through the nail, which makes it acceptable to wear during prayer. spread the word. 

“Being a relatively modern creation, nail polish remains obviously unaddressed by early Islamic sources. But the general consensus in the Islamic community is that praying with nail polish is impermissible because of the waterproof barrier it creates on nails, which prevents the wudu ritual from being completed five times a day.” (source)

Lowered Expectations: Help A Wannabe Doula Out

swampkhaleesi:

teendoula:

Hello my name is Mahal and I’m a new birth doula based out of South East Michigan. I am a woman of color. My dream is to eventually be a midwife but until then I want to support folks in a very important era of their life: parenthood.  I want to support people from pregnancy till the 4th trimester. Which brings me to why I’m asking for help.

I’m in desperate needs of funds to become a post partum doula. Here is the program that I plan on taking my training from: http://center4cby.com/dona-postpartum-doula-training.html

Sadly I’m not old enough to accept the state scholarship for doulas and I’m already obligated for giving free births and just can’t afford to give more free services at the moment.

 With post partum doula training I can follow the continuity of care model and also offer more services that will help me support women and in turn support myself. So please help. If you can’t help please direct it to someone who can, or reblog this post. Thanks so much everyone.

Donate here please: http://www.gofundme.com/2pvsb8

If you have any questions please do let me know :) Thanks so much everyone

Warren Andrews had just finished putting up balloons for his stepdaughter’s 18th birthday party at their suburban home in Mayflower, Arkansas, when his wife came inside and said something was wrong. After stepping out of his house, and taking one glance, he immediately dialed 911.
“I don’t know what’s going on, but I’ve got a river of oil coming down the street at me,” Andrews told the operator. Five minutes later, the slick of noxious black crude spewing from a ruptured Exxon Mobil pipeline was eight feet wide, six inches deep and growing fast.
In this photo, spilled oil from Exxon pipeline runs through a neighborhood in Mayflower, Arkansas on March 29, 2013. Reuters was recently given access to the photo from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). 

Exxon is refusing to let reporters anywhere near the accident. They’re also controlling the airspace above the spill. They don’t want you to see what’s happening. TOO BAD, EXXON.
