Im judging anyone that is an adult and seriously needed these reminders

arriannarere

Not to be rude but this can be aimed at teens so they know what to be prepared for or for adults who are about to move out. The important thing is learning it sooner rather than later.

hutchj

Or it could just be a self care reminder for people who don’t properly care for themselves due to depression or extreme anxiety.

So Scientology has recently been purchasing ad spots on social media sites including Twitter and Facebook. Scientology has always worked hard to recruit young people it seems like they’re investing in social media as well now. I know most people think Scientology is a joke but it’s a seriously dangerous cult which uses fear, extortion, violence, vandalism and various other unethical actions against those who oppose them both inside and outside the church. Here is key information on the abuses committed by Scientology:

•Scientology uses a form of pseudo-therapy called auditing which focuses largely on embarrassing and traumatic memories. Scientology collects the information you share and uses that information to threaten you if you oppose the church. They also charge huge amounts of money for auditing sessions (which is why they really are doing all this).

•They are extremely anti-psychology and psychiatry and pressure you against taking any antidepressants, anti-anxiety medication or any other drugs for mental health.

•They believe homosexuality can be “cured” and are blatantly homophobic. •Enemies of the church are labeled “suppressive persons” and it is forbidden to communicate with such people. This isn’t just to limit the negative press they receive but also is a manipulative tool. If you are in the cult and decide to leave or criticize the church you stand the risk of being completely cut off from your friends and family. “Suppressive Persons” are often also harassed, stalked, or threatened.

•If you’re new to Scientology and your family or friends are worried about you being in a cult you’re instructed to cut them out of your life, increasing your reliance on the support system (though there’s nothing supportive about it) the church give to you.

•Scientology’s doctrine includes the concept of “Fair Game”. This basically says that those who are judged a threat to the Church can be punished and harassed by any and all means possible.

•Because of this, they have no moral qualms about having their members lie in court which they use to defend themselves from lawsuits or charges that they’ve broken the law and also to help win lawsuits against their enemies. •They essentially spied on and stole information from the IRS and tried to frame the mayor of Clearwater Florida for a hit and run.

•Scientology filed 50 different lawsuits in one year against the Cult Awareness Network, an anti-cult organization. Using false testimony they won one of the suits and because the organization couldn’t pay the fine Scientology took the organizations name and logo so if you were calling to get out of Scientology you’d be unknowingly telling Scientology of your intentions. (For full transparency my mom was a member of the Cult Awareness Network before it was taken over and was sued individually by the Church of Scientology)

•Scientology has an official branch known as the Sea Org, a mixture between a paramilitary group and slavery, comprised of their most dedicated members including many children/teens who’ve been raised in Scientology. This is where some of the most rampant and terrifying abuse in Scientology occurs.

•Sea Org members often work over 100 hours a week for Scientology for around 2$ per hour.

•Sea Org member’s living conditions are terrible; they live in overcrowded communal rooms with up to 12 other people, are not given healthcare unless there is a free clinic in the area, often are forced to miss meals or sleep in order to successfully completed their work.

•Several former Sea Org members have accused the church of physical abuse. •Sea Org members may not have children and women who have become pregnant have reportedly been forced/coerced by their higher-ups to have abortions.

•Leaving Sea Org without permission automatically makes you a suppressive person, so young adults who’ve been raised in Scientology who want to leave are cut off from everyone they’ve ever known with no money or job and getting permission to leave can require 3 years of hard labor, social isolation, and group pressure.

arashi-of-ota

thie above is 100% true. one of my friends has scientology and other cults as a special interest. there are hundreds of pages of documentation of their abuse that you can publicly read about.

it’s one of the scariest “religions” you’ll ever meet if not THE scariest because it was PURPOSELY created to make money. unlike most cults that do have some seed of genuine belief however twisted and off base the founders are, scientology was never a belief system - it was a get rich quick scheme for a terrible hack author who saw that there was more money to be made in manipulating people into a cult and then not letting them leave. higher and higher levels of scientology, which you have to take to be truly “clear” aka free of evil spirits, will cost you thousands and even millions of dollars. they will literally hook you into a billion year contract and then pursue you for any money you “owe” them, thousands of “back fees” for their religious training, if you try to leave.

oh and it has literally driven people to suicide as part of its goal to keep “suppressive persons” from spreading information. someone even made a fucking song about its abuses.

stay the fuck away from anything marked scientology or dianetics. narconon (NOT the same as narcotics anonymous, the 12 step program) is also their thing. never even step FOOT into one of their free dianetics “auditing sessions” because they will use it to manipulate you into joining. they are incredibly persistent and will use every trick in the book to get you on board.

scientology: not even once.

kelincihutan

Off the top of my head, a non-exhaustive list of “Brand Names” used by Scientology:

Narconon
Dianetics
Associate of Better Living and Education (ABLE)
Criminon
Applied Scholastics
Delphi Schools
The Way to Happiness Foundation
Author Service Inc.
Bridge Publications Inc.
Golden Era Productions
New Era Publications
Citizens Commission on Human Rights
The National Commission on Law Enforcement and Social Justice

Do not join any of the organizations. Do not work with them. Do not use their materials. Do not give them your money. Do not sign any documents.

I can add nothing to this post except to say that this is true. I’ve crossed paths with these people several times. It’s a fascinating and terrible psychological control.

ifreakinglovemarshmallows

Took notes on Scientology from a public speaker and regrettably this is very true, based on the research done afterwards. But I think the obvious tell is the fact that the speaker began by explaining for 20 minutes straight about how “Scientology is not evil. It’s not a cult. People are just wrong and stupid.” Anyway if you have to preface your speech with a multitude of reasons why people shouldn’t think your belief system is god awful, then you may have a problem.

ohsweetcrepes

I fucking heard a commerical for them on a fairly popular radio station and am absolute appalled

youngnoblewoman

I’ve heard them, too, and they’ve set up their own TV channel as well.

Particular PSA for the Tumblr crowd as I know there’s a lot of creators on here: They’re also behind the “Writers of the Future” and “Illustrators of the Future” contests, which are run by “Author Services Inc” and “Galaxy Press” so beware of those if you’re looking to submit anything to contests

Fyi scientology is considered a cult in France since 1995 and as a “dangerous cult” since 2006

(legitimate trigger warning for suicide threats and the like)

in a small departure from our usual content, we wanted to just give our followers a heads up in case any of you ever happen to deal with “autumn anon” – aka yellowninjaleopard. the only reason we found it relevant to do so is because we’ve noticed her targeting other blogs now, and we fear for what will come of the kindness of those bloggers (particularly if they happen to be young and ill equipped to deal with emotional blackmail).

this should go without saying, but don’t harass autumn anon. don’t be a dick. just ignore, or at the very least be wary. it seems that autumn anon is a girl in her teens, so please take that into consideration.

we’ve dubbed her “autumn anon” because she constantly spams us with asks about her oc, autumn (and occasionally, her oc, jasmine). as she was on anon, we made a public post asking her kindly to stop spamming our inbox, which you can see here. as a result, we received a disproportionate response, in which she tried to guilt trip us. we’ve tried blocking her over and over and over, but she finds a way to evade our blocks and continues her crusade on our inbox.

here’s a very small glimpse of some of the asks we’ve received from her since those previously linked posts:

beyond that, she keeps coming to my streams to harass me and anyone else just trying to watch in peace. she constantly makes new guest accounts to evade bans. we convinced her to make a tumblr account so that she could post to her blog instead of spamming us, but she just did both instead.

we tried ignoring her for months, then we asked her to stop, then we started an open dialogue hoping to convince her to stop, and nothing worked. now we are back to trying to ignore her, and it’s at the point where we’re receiving stuff like this for not responding:

autumn anon (aka yellowninjaleopard aka leah) also does this thing where she rps having a twin sister called laura. laura is her excuse to be malicious and cruel to people while taking zero responsibility, saying everything is laura’s fault. also, she’s threatening to make a murder-suicide pact with her alter ego “laura.” i wish i was kidding.

so we thought if we just ignored her for long enough, she’d go away, but things are progressively getting worse and worse.

she told us about her youtube conversations, which proved she’s been harassing someone who hasn’t responded to her for at least eight months. eight months. she claimed she was this person’s best friend because they rp’d in youtube comments sometimes. that person has since vanished off youtube and no longer uploads videos.

it’s bad enough that autumn anon is still uploading videos asking about the “best friend” in the descriptions.

may 13, 2018.

normally we wouldn’t care too much what a teenager does with her spare time, but to say autumn anon is persistent would be an understatement. she lies, she guilt trips, she manipulates. she threatens to kill herself if you don’t reply to her. if you refuse to accommodate her, she’ll accuse you of putting her in the hospital because of “stress fever.” if you ignore her for any length of time, she’ll repeatedly send messages which get progressively more distressing. what we’ve shown above barely scratches the surface.

we were going to keep this all to ourselves, until we noticed that she has started contacting other content creators. we’re concerned she will contact people who are susceptible to emotional manipulation or suicide mentions. nobody deserves to have this kind of stuff thrown in their face over and over.

what you choose to do with this information is ultimately up to you. just be wary, and don’t give in to her threats and the fact that she holds herself hostage. this is manipulation. this is cruel. this is completely without any justification.

Hey, I hope everyone who doxxed RizzyDraws and reported him to his government for being gay fucking dies.

You have put a mans life in extreme danger, possibly condemned him to death, because you couldn’t handle him telling the truth about his situation, that being that he cant celebrate pride because his fellow countrymen will kill him.

FOR THIS PICTURE

YOU HAVE PROBABLY KILLED HIM!

So yeah, I hope you fucking DIE, because you had no problem condemning a gay man to death for speaking out about the threats to his life!

May God have mercy on your souls for what you have done.

anderz-zombieslayer

I hope he’s okay :(

hello-kitty-senpai

According to updates from a family friend he’s now in the hospital because he drunk enough housecleaner to damage his organs and its likely he’s not going to survive.

He’s made a serious and likely successful suicide attempt.

May those that did this to him follow suit.

TICK PSA

biologyweeps

Alright you guys, ‘tis the season again and I’ve already seen bullshit float about so here we go: what to do and what not to do when you happen to have a tick attached to yours truly.

WHAT NOT TO DO:

DON’T cover the tick in anything. Vaseline, nailpolish, whatever. Doesn’t matter. It’ll all suffocate the tick, making it panic vomit germs into your blood stream. That’s the opposite of what you want.

DON’T burn the tick. Same problem, plus the additional option of giving yourself a burn wound in the process.

DON’T squeeze the body of the tick when you try to remove it. Again this empties the tick’s digestive system into your body. Bad.

DON’T wait for the tick to detach itself. The longer it stays on you, the higher the chances it’ll transmit anything to you. Plus when ti detaches it may again vomit germs into you.

WHAT TO ACTUALLY DO

STAY CALM. A tick hanging on you is not a reason to panick. You’re not going to keel over just like that, and if you’re unsure what to do, there are many resources on the internet on how to safely remove a tick, like this one from the CDC (aka the professionals)

USE APPROPRIATE TOOLS. These can be suitable tweezers (the pointy kind, not blunt tipped ones), tick removers (there are cheap ones out there, those you can buy at the vets are totally fine for use on humans, too!). Ideally you can remove the entire tick in one go, however if that doesn’t work and the mouth part breaks off in your skin, that’s not a terribly big deal and you can totally remove it separately after you got the body remove. Again, don’t panic.

KILL THE REMOVED TICK. But not by squeezing it. Flush it down the toilet, submerse it in alcohol in a container etc. Ideally if the tick has bitten you and not your dog, keep the tick around in a sealed container in case you start having symptoms and someone needs to identify the tick species. Also IF you start getting symptoms like the tell tale Lyme disease rash, HIT A DOCTOR RIGHT AWAY AND TELL THEM ABOUT YOUR TICK BITE. Do not wait this out, ticks can transmit a whole host of diseases beside Lyme, so be mindful of that, too!

Some of those diseases you can actually get vaccinated again, such as tick born encephalitis. Check with the local authorities if you live in a risk area, and if so, get the shots to protect yourself.

t00tsmcgee

Excellent post! I would like to add that ticks hide in tall grass and bushes mostly. They do not drop down from trees or jump to other people’s heads etc. Ticks aren’t designed to jump, they latch on somewhere on your leg and then crawl upwards in most cases.

So be careful with bare legs and tall grass!

a-daks

Ticks will crawl from the cuffs of your jeans all the way up to your hair, where they cannot be seen, and nor could a bite rash be seen (ask me how I know HAHA).

If you walk through an area that may have ticks for any length of time, check yourself for them! Especially after you get home. Strip down, check your whole body, even your belly button, armpits, between toes, behind ears and ESPECIALLY YOUR HAIR. Long hair in particular is beloved. Comb all the hair, and check your scalp. Deer ticks are tiny. Wood ticks are just under the size of a pencil eraser and can easily be felt.

I just spoke with a friend who also contracted Lyme’s disease as a kid and it’s no “yeah I guess that’s bad?” disease. Chronic untreated Lymes can lead to crippling arthritis and lifelong psychological issues and doctors are just starting to take it seriously.

CHECK YOURSELF FOR TICKS. IF YOU LIVE IN AN AREA WITH DEER TICKS GET TESTED FOR LYMES IF YOU SUSPECT ONE BIT YOU.
