•don’t eat out too much
•do your laundry
•it’s okay to ask for help
•own at least two recipe books
•never lock yourself out
•but don’t hide a spare under a mat/plant
•don’t open the door without knowing who it is
•mop
•wash your bed spread a lot
•make sure you always have food in the fridge
•if you feel unsafe call someone
•candy/snacks are not meals

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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!

the full comic which got him doxxed and reported.

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

I hope he’s okay :(

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.

God damn this site and everyone on it.

what the fuck

what the actual fuck

the comic isnt even bad

This is so mind-numbingly simple to execute, and it will block a whole IP address, which means that anons cant make new profiles to send more hate.

IF YOU KNOW SOME OF YOUR FOLLOWERS ARE GETTING HATE, LET THEM KNOW THEY CAN STOP THE HATE BY DOING THIS THING.

GUYS. THIS IS IMPORTANT. A lot of people probably don’t know about this, I didn’t until now. And quite frankly, the hate people in this fandom are getting right now is just disgusting. So reblog to let your followers know they can do this!!

I remember I figured this out a while ago!!!!! Yay

For any of our followers that may be getting anonymous hate, there is a way to stop it. I hope that this helps!

Bye, bye, motherfuckers.

A heads-up to my people, bc I’ve seen a lot of hate on here lately.

Okay I STILL haven’t gotten that dashboard update thing and now theres this and im not getting any of it and its worrying me

TICK PSA

t00tsmcgee:

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.

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!

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.

So this is deffo different from what I learned growing up in the woods! Read it all, friends!

Since joining Tumblr, I’ve met a lot of young queer people. Look, I’m a bisexual man in a gay relationship, and I’m approaching 30. I was still a kid when Matthew Shepard’s story was being covered on the news. I remember thinking, “I better keep my mouth shut about these feelings I’m having.”

And then I met Dominic when I was 12, and people could see how in love we were. And we got the shit beat out of us. The year I met him, some kids in the grade above me held me down against the bleachers in our gym and stomped on my hand until my fingers broke. Instead of sending me to the nurse, the teacher sent me to the assistant principal to explain the situation. She asked why the kids had beat me up. I said, “They were calling me gay.”

Her response was, “Well, are you?”

My, “I don’t know,” earned a call to my parents, and I was outed. Efforts were made to keep me from seeing Dom. Throughout high school, Dom’s stepmother intensified these efforts. He slept in the basement of the house. Although he was an incredibly talented student, he was prohibited from participating in any extracurriculars. He suffered a lot of physical abuse during those years.

The day he turned 18, he packed up everything he had and walked to my house, and we’ve lived together ever since. Things are better, but they’re not perfect. I’ve had trucks pull up next to me at stoplights and, seeing the pride sticker on my car, through old drinks and garbage into my window. I no longer speak to my dad’s side of the family. I haven’t been to see them for Christmas or Thanksgiving in years. One of my uncles had cornered me at Thanksgiving when I was 17 and said, “I’m not going to judge you, but I’d be happy to break your neck so God can do the judging a little sooner.”

I joined a support group for trans and intersex people. When I joined, 40 people attended regularly. Within the year, the group was half the size it had been. Some couldn’t make it anymore, because they were staying at the shelter, where their stay hinged on them agreeing to instead to attend homophobic sermons. Some were put in correctional therapy. Five of them died. Three of those, I didn’t know, but I knew Alex, the 19 year old who was fag-dragged in Kentucky and died a day later in the hospital, and I knew Stephanie, who went home to Alabama to care for her mom in hospice and was beaten to death with a baseball bat by her mom’s boyfriend.

Tumblr is not reality. The dynamic here does not reflect the dynamic out there. Here’s the part where I finally make a point, and it might be extremely unpopular - but guys, value your allies. Value each other. We are met with enough hate in our daily lives to enter an online safe-space and meet more hate from our own, over petty things. Don’t go after one another over every little thing you find problematic.

Learn to see nuance. Maybe the word “queer” bothers you, and you see a gay man using it as an umbrella term. Maybe someone called a trans man a trans woman because they’re confused about terminology, but the post where they did it was voicing support for the trans community. Maybe someone is just asking a question, wanting to learn more. Stop. Attacking. These. People.

Allies are being driven away. Members of our own community are being ostracized. Others are feeling nervous and estranged, and it’s largely because of places like Tumblr, where the social justice movement is quickly becoming violent and radical. I am begging you, stop nitpicking “problematic” things and start directing your efforts to create real change. When it comes to comes to your allies, forget the “social justice warrior” mentality and put down your torch. Educate calmly. Be respectful. Be understanding. Be forgiving. And I’m certainly not saying that your anger doesn’t have a good place - when you are met with bigots on the street, congress members who want to pass hateful laws, violent protesters, abusive parents, prejudiced teachers, that is when you need to be a warrior. That’s when it counts. In the real world. When you have the opportunity to protect people from real harm. Attacking your would-be allies via anonymous asks is just going to lose us ground in the long run. And we don’t have time for that, not when trans women of color are being murdered every day, not when states are still fighting against marriage equality, not when there are politicians in office who believe that trans people are possessed by demons, not when we’ve just lost 50 brothers and sisters to one gunman, not when the media won’t even admit that the attack was homophobic.

Please step back. Look at the big picture. Look at where we are, globally. Don’t just log on to your safe space and attack your allies over small missteps. That’s like washing the dishes in a house that’s on fire, kids. Let’s fight on the battlefield, and when we come home to each other, let’s just focus on bandaging up our wounds so we can go out and win the war.

Signal boost to this unbelievably important message.

I’d reblog this a thousand times if I could.

Stop attacking allies. Educate. Not hate.

This is incredibly important. Please read!

Educate calmly. Be respectful. Be understanding. Be forgiving.

I can finally give some infos !

Tue, 29 May 2018 15:04:29 +0200

sakurina-mcl:

chinomiko:

So now that the infos are more or less known from the beta, i suppose i can speak out and give some more (personnal) information :)
I wish i could have done it before, but i just could not.

First of all, a topic that quite bugs me is the “I wasted X years of my life for this”? You know it’s a game right ? It’s awesome you care so much for it, but didn’t you know it woud end someday ? Do you consider every game, book, movie that you finished like wasted time ? o_o
My candy love could have stopped at the episode 40 and that’s it, end of the story.
But we are lucky to be able to continue in this universe with University Life, which is like a new season. It’s different, yes, but still connected.
(you could also compare this to Marvel who has done dozens of versions of their stories/characters. Yet Spiderman is always named Spiderman. There are been lots and lots of them, like bladewitch too because i’m not just talking about the movies or most famous ones here. )

Secondly, I said to trust us, yes, but i didn’t say i was going to make your every whishes. I still take you in consideration but i also took myself in consideration and did what i think is best, even if it’s hard to accept at first. I get it.
Just a reminder that it is impossible to do everyone’s wish.
Just take as an exemple the fact that so many people wanted to flirt with a teacher, and now that it is possible, the other side is outraged that it is even possible.
Or another exemple, the sooo many rants in the past when i did the characters redesigns. I’m sure by now that if we would put back the very first designs, you would be all screaming in pain. But at that time, it was like the worst decision ever for you.

So to make it clear, i am happy with the choices i made.
And even if I can sincerely understand your sadness, i won’t change my mind about it, and the planned characters and scenario won’t change either.
Then, in or out, it’s your choice.

Now, how, why did this happen ?
What you must keep in mind is that we (the creative team) work for a business. We have counts to give to our bosses, deadlines to respect, and also access to numbers and stats that you don’t know about that might affect our choices/work.
( and those stats can actually be very different from the expressed wishes and points of view of the active fandom, because lots of players are also silent players.)

This brings us to the first topic !
First thing to know is that to maintain good delays for everyone and every country, (because as you saw we have episodes coming out on a regular basis by now) we have to follow strict rules of production.
This is not totally new but still: we have a number of words allowed per episode that we can not go over, and less than 2monthes to produce and test everything. So yeah, it’s a bit sad in some way, but totally understandable, if we did not do that, the game could not go on.
So to keep the best quality, this is also why we can’t handle more than 5 routes. (and this is also why last episodes on High school life seem shorter when you are on one guy’s route, as it is like 5 little episodes in one.)
I’m not totally sure i am allowed to share those production informations, but it’s not just some friends playing around,snapping fingers and bam an episode. So i wanted you to know that :)

This brings us to the next topic, the crushes gone in Campus Life ?
Yes they are. At first it was a decision strongly suggested by our bosses. And i was sooo against it, i was like “they will be so mad, it’s a dangerous move”, but apart from wanting to preserve you, i didn’t have any other reasons not to do so.
In the end, the idea really grew up on me, and i totally agree with it.
So here we are.
Yeah I’ll cherish the past characters and will miss them but a breath of fresh air will be great, and i’m really happy to be able to play along with new characters. Also I wanted that 4 years gap, because i wanted the characters to have grown and develop on their own for some time.
Let’s move on.

Why I chose to keep Castiel ?
Well, let’s be honest about that, Castiel has always been the main favorite, and by far. Just like pokemon, there are thousands of them but Pikachu still remains special.
Anyway, if you are good at maths, you’ll have noticed that i said we are doing 5 routes, and you only know about 4 so far, so yeah, there is someone i still wish to torture some more too hurr hurr. And i think he will be my favotire for UL.

One last thing to clear out.
As I said we work for a business and our bosses, but even if we have some rules to follow, i am not complaining. We are very lucky to be free in our creation process, they dont mingle in our story and scenarios, and i really think we are very very lucky about that.
This is how you can have a Priya route ( which would have been impossible if we kept all the old crushes too by the way). They were a bit worried that a lesbian route wouldn’t draw enough players as just another guy’s route, but they still let us do without interfering. (Show them we were right ! ;) )

I think this is all by now !
If you keep on with University Life, i hope you will enjoy your new adventure, and i will always be lurking around to see your reactions ;)
If you prefer to quit because you are too disillusioned, well i am sad to hear it, but it’s ok. No one is forcing you to play, and thank you so much for being part of this great community until there.

Kisses and take care everyone ♥

One last thing, I knew we would have drama whatever we did or announce, so i am quite prepared and chill about it. But, I will blacklist anyone harassing me, sending me hate messages, insults, long rants directly to me or whatever of the kind without a second thought.
I dont have time for this.

So… Here we go. Thank you for answering this, Chinomiko.
I think… I still would’ve chosen for it to end and and have a full new spin-off versus knowing my Candy can no longer be with them when she was. Like it just… doesn’t feel like a continuation or a sequel if all the original love interests aren’t there (Great for those who went with Castiel, but not so much for the rest of us). Like maybe have Priya as a dating option still, but being the only character to make a return as we know she travels a lot anyway.
I feel bad you guys only have two months though… I wish the company was more adaptive on that? I feel like more time would just be better and if people got small updates, people wouldn’t get impatient anyway.
But yeah, thank you for the information…
I don’t know if I will still play or not, but… I’m happy to know.

Some assholes have been putting nails in cheese and treats in dog parks in Chicago and Massachusetts. Also adding antifreeze to water bowls.

Please watch out for your dogs. And if you find out the address of someone doing this, give me the address and tell no one. I will disembowel them.

Antifreeze is fucking deadly as shit. Whilst my mom worked in the vets office the neighbor of a cat owner had become sick of his neighbors tom spraying by his house so he left antifreeze out for the cat. Animals are weirdly attracted to the smell and will drink it.

The cat was given to the vets and for 2 days it’s insides were slowly dissolved by the acids and it bled from his nose, mouth and even eyes.

On the second day, the vet not being able to help and refusing to let the cat suffer any longer put the cat down. The neighbor who did not deny his crimes didn’t even offer to pay the woman’s vet bill.

SO THE BIGGEST FUCKING SIGNAL BOOST TO THIS POST.

Fuck who ever is doing this. They can fucking burn.

my friend had a cat and it drank antifreeze that was puddled in the driveway and one day they were knitting and it just vomited up all of its internal organs and fell over dead on her lap.

The perpetrators of all of this will burn in Hell.

A neighbor of mine threw a ball of hamburger full of rat poison pellets over our fence for my son’s dog. He survived, barely, but has had nerve damage ever since.

Okay, listen up, if your pet drinks antifreeze, do you know what the cure is? Alcohol. That’s right. To save your furry little friend you have to get them drunk out of their faces. Antifreeze is an inhibitor and stops your enzymes from working, but luckily alcohol stops that from happening. I learned this from my A Level Biology lessons, but here’s a source anyway http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/scotland/2617997.stm

This applies to humans, too.

The first choice is fomepizole, but a lot of vets don’t keep it in stock.

Barring that, clear alcohols like vodka or everclear are a standard treatment for methanol or ethylene glycol poisoning

My stepmum’s cat was poisoned with antifreeze. Such a horrible thing to do to an owner and an animal. There’s real monsters out there. Signal boosting.

These people need to be drop kicked, forever, with tough, sharp, spiked boots.

k the cheese thing is actually a few very isolated incidents, not a trend. The original pic is from 2011. Can’t find too much about the antifreeze thing, but keep the knowledge, and protect your pets.

Why you shouldn’t donate to Trans Lifeline

Ever since the Presidential Election results came in, there’s been post after post of people spreading around the phone number for a supposed suicide hotline for trans people, called Trans Lifeline.

What people don’t know is that this “hotline” is a huge scam meant to fund the founders’ personal lives, and that the hotline barely answers their calls, if ever.

A twitter was made a while back to cover the small, almost nonexistent amount of operators on the line, but it is now inoperable because the founders found out and shut down the source of the twitter bot’s information, because how dare someone provide the truth.

The founder, who is also trans, frequently posts pictures of her weapons, and even showed up at someone’s house because she didn’t agree with what they had to say about her hotline and her “friends”, then proceeded to make vague physical threats at them on FB. As a mentally ill person, she seems unfit to be handling such a lifeline that barely answers their calls in the first place.

She also spends the organization’s money frivolously, going from one state to the next for who knows what.

Here’s their 2015 annual report.

And here’s a claim that 6,000 hours of volunteer work equals up to $197,000. This is incredibly inflated.

THEY ARE ALSO NOT ACCREDITED BY THE AMERICAN ASSOCIATION OF SUICIDOLOGY AND REFUSE TO CALL MEDICAL PERSONNEL IN THE EVENT OF A SUICIDE IN PROGRESS. THIS MEANS THEY WILL NOT CALL 911 IF SOMEONE ON THE LINE IS FUCKING DYING.

Only about 19% of incoming calls were being answered. This is a suicide prevention non-profit where they are only answering less than 19% of calls as of December of last year. When someone does get through, according to this report, they are talking to someone who has only received TWO FUCKING HOURS OF TRAINING.

They train people for two hours, only answer 19% of calls and when that 19% do get through, the policy does not follow the AAS crisis standard with regard to emergency personnel.

Here is a link to their IRS exempt form.

The 2015 submission indicates income of $129,922 and total assets of $22,255 so their income was about 47% more than budgeted.

The 2016 budget is far more interesting given they are expecting $200,000 worth of grants.

The travel bill is also surprising for a non profit, I realise there is a need to engage potential donors but there comes a point where the figure is just ridiculous and it would appear that that point is about a third of that budgeted total.

I see the director of operations “in kind” contributions have been reduced from $80,000 to receiving an actual salary of $28,800 and she is bringing in a personal assistant for herself.

There could be a fucking body count and nobody would know.

I have a friend who called them once, had her call dropped 4 times, only to get a really bored-sounding operator on the other end, then she was yelled at BY THE OPERATOR for using the term ‘dude’. SHE WAS SUICIDAL AT THE TIME. YOU DO NOT YELL AT SUICIDAL PEOPLE:

On a final note, they are perpetuating the lie that 8 trans people died on the night of the election results.

At the Trans Lifeline we were devastated to hear that eight people — many of whom were teens — died by suicide last night after election results announced that Donald Trump will be the next president of the United States. We are reaching out to the families to offer support and condolences.
Trans people are among many people who are mourning today. We know that communities of color, muslims, immigrants, and many other groups are feeling the betrayal, sadness, and fear that comes with living in a country where a majority of people voted for a leader who hates you. It is personal. It is tragic. But it is not the end.
Trans Lifeline has received over 350 calls from trans people in crisis, including many suicidal people. Our trans-identified operators are working hard to offer support, guidance, and hope through this difficult time. We’ve answered a staggering 115 calls in 24 hours, demonstrating that we are here for each other. It may feel right now as though hate won out, but we know that love is more powerful.
Even though many in the trans community are giving everything they have to support each other, we have a long way to go to meet the need of trans people in crisis. We need to hire additional staff to train, support, and lead our volunteers. If we can raise 100K this month, then we can hire three full-time staff people to do this life-saving work. Please give now if you can.

If you are trans, we say to you — Keep fighting. We love you. If you are not trans, we say to you — Stand with us. We love you too, and we need you to show up for us. We need staunch allies, real confidants, supportive lovers, close friends, affirming faith leaders, and compassionate strangers. We need to support one another now more than ever. Remember, together we save lives!

Save your time (and your life) and call the national suicide hotline at 1-800-273-8255.

You can also call the Trevor Project at 1-866-488-7386, and their donation information is here.

Protect trans lives. Don’t fall for a scam that exploits potentially suicidal trans teenagers and young adults. Give to actual charities and hotlines.

This is… wow terrible many states have their own crisis hotlines as well. So if you search for crisis hotline + your state you should be able to find one as well that is more reputable

signal boost the SHIT outta this

i keep seeing trans lifeline on my dash getting attention

and im just letting you know, DONT SUPPORT TRANS LIFELINE

ACTUALLY SAVE TRANS LIVES BY USING THE HOTLINE FOR THE TREVOR PROJECT

honestly im gonna put this on my queue since none of ya understand yet

While you are worrying about whether beta readers will steal your ideas, there is a more genuine threat on the horizon.

When offered a publishing contract, please do all your research before you sign. There are a number of fakes and scammers out there, as well as good-intentioned amateurs that don’t know how to get your work to a wide audience. I won’t tell the heartbreaking stories here - there are too many.

Being published badly is worse than being never published.

It can destroy your career and your dreams.

The quick check is to google the publishing house name + scam or warning.

But, to be sure, check with these places first. They aren’t infallible (nothing is) but they can help you protect yourself. They are written and maintained by expereinced writers, editors, publishers and legal folks.

Absolute Write: Bewares and Background Checks

Preditors and editors

Writer Beware

and the WRITER BEWARE blog

Keep yourself and your work safe.

This is really important, so if you are a writer or have writer friends, or you are a writing blog, please reblog it.

Just to let you know, PublishAmerica changed their name to America Star Books.

HEAD’S UP, WRITER TYPES: THIS IS AN IMPORTANT PSA!

Also applies to many so-called freelance sites that are just content mills, and may not pay unless your work is used, even if the contract seems designed otherwise.

Listen, reading these is like legit reading horror stories. When it comes to publishing your writing, always, always, ALWAYS do your research. Not only will it help you avoid scams, but it will also be likely to help you land a much better fit for an agent/publisher/whatever. Knowing more is never going to hurt.

Omg!!! Thanks for the warning! Writers— reblog!

I’ve heard stories like this that are scarier than horror stories. This is an all time worst nightmare for a writer. Everyone reblog and make sure you keep your work safe!

Always, ALWAYS check Writer Beware. Let me also recommend Kristine Kathryn Rusch’s blog about contracts and contract scams for authors in her section Business Musings.

Reblogging again for the links.
Also check pred-ed.com and the Absolute Write forum. Then google Publisher’s name + scam and see what comes up.
Do NOT use the BBB ratings, they are wholly unsuitable for rating publishers and regularly give A ratings to well-known publishing scams.
You can also read my own post on publishing scams, have a link on the left of my blog ( can’t link here, I’m on mobile, sorry).

@korrigu

SUPER IMPORTANT PSA!

Equally important to know is that you can SELF-PUBLISH through a number of platforms these days. @ean-amhran and I used Amazon’s CreateSpace and Kindle Direct Publishing to publish both of our books. No editors, no contracts, no finagling with publishers who want to change your materials. Just direct-to-market material.

(Granted, it means you’ve got to do a LOT more work yourself with editing and formatting and cover art, but it’s worth it to miss the headache of trying to bargain with publishing houses or avoid scams.)

Be vigilant, fellow writers!

If you choose to self publish then HAVE A PLAN and think things through.

And hire an editor. Please, for the love of all that is holy, hire an editor. It’s expensive, but you will get a better book out, a better reputation…

If you’re going to publish electronically, make sure you also get someone who can LAY AN EBOOK OUT PROPERLY.

I have spent money on Kindle books, many of them reprints of older works, whose formatting is so messed up as to render them unreadable.

I actually recommend using the Smashwords Style Guide even if you don’t use Smashwords.

It lays out how to neatly format an e-book in a wonderful step by step format, and you can get it free from Smashwords. Just leave off the couple of things that are (very obviously) Smashwords specific.

If you can’t stand dealing with the meticulous detail, then by all means hire somebody, but most people can learn to format an ebook correctly and once you’ve done it a couple of times it takes about an hour tops.

@ghdos spread the knowledge

Because the redirects aren’t working for me, I’m going to assume others might have trouble with these links, so for those who need it the URL for the website to Writer Beware is:

www.sfwa.org/other-resources/for-authors/writer-beware/

As stated on here: “Writer Beware is sponsored by the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America, with additional support from the Mystery Writers of America, the Horror Writers Association, and the American Society of Journalists and Authors.”

These are not publishers’ guilds, notice; you sometimes see scammers trying to defend themselves against Writer Beware exposes by claiming that they’re “small press” or “indie” and Big Publishing is somehow out to get them - but all of those guilds are run by and for writers, to help support them and represent them in the field. It is the closest writers have to having unions, and there’s no direct competition between them (you could literally be an in any of those guilds are the same time as each other, in addition to others, and I believe a number of authors are).

Writer Beware is a wonderful resource, and I highly recommend it. It’s both a good general guide to the scams people run/red flags to watch out for (such as giving up your copyright entirely as opposed to specific rights, or being charged to publish something or have it edited, when they’re trying to act like they’re a “normal” publisher), and a frequently-updated list of the latest specific known scammers, both in “fake agents” and fake/scammy publishers categories. (The company formerly known as Publish America is one of the most famous and egregious cases, but by far not the only one)

Additionally, for SF and fantasy writers, the SFWA’s own list of qualifying markets that one can be published in as a prerequisite to be able to get into their guild (remember, it IS a profession-based guild), is a great guide to normal markets for those genres that have standard contracts that aren’t abusive or scammy, and their guidelines include some of the industry-standard minimums for “per word” etc rates, so even if some new magazine market isn’t on their list, you can tell if it’s suspiciously far outside the usual per-word or whatnot standards. (It’s likely the guidelines for Mystery Writers of America etc also would be useful in that vein)

Even if you’re unpublished or don’t want to join their guild, they’re a wonderful group and resource, and I highly recommend their site and Writer Beware in particular!

The other sites mentioned above, such as “Preditors and Editors” should be still valid if you Google them, and are often rec’d by Writer Beware, but Writer Beware is the one I’m most familiar with. :)

Also, you should never have to pay an agent or anyone a “reading fee”! DO NOT PAY PEOPLE TO READ YOUR WORK!!! Run away from so-called agents that charge a reading fee! They are considered unethical in their own industry!

Also related to agents: Should you go this route and seek one, DO NOT PAY ONE DIME TO THEM upfront! A real agent only gets paid when he sells your book to a publisher! The average cut is about 10-15% of the first sale profits, if I remember right, with cuts of film and other rights maybe being more, when sold. At most, writers should only be responsible for the costs of phone calls and postage.

STROKE: Remember The 1st Three Letters… S.T..R …
My friend sent this to me and encouraged me to post it and spread the word. I agree. If everyone can remember something this simple, we could save some folks.

STROKE IDENTIFICATION:
During a party, a friend stumbled and took a little fall - she assured everyone that she was fine and just tripped over a brick because of her new shoes. (they offered to call ambulance)

They got her cleaned up and got her a new plate of food - while she appeared a bit shaken up, Ingrid went about enjoying herself the rest of the evening. Ingrid’s husband called later telling everyone that his wife had been taken to the hospital - (at 6:00pm , Ingrid passed away.)
She had suffered a stroke at the party . Had they known how to identify the signs of a stroke, perhaps Ingrid would be with us today.

Some don’t die. They end up in a helpless, hopeless condition instead. It only takes a minute to read this…

STROKE IDENTIFICATION:

A neurologist says that if he can get to a stroke victim within 3 hours he can totally reverse the effects of a stroke…totally. He said the trick was getting a stroke recognized, diagnosed, and then getting the patient medically cared for within 3 hours, which is tough.

RECOGNIZING A STROKE

Remember the ‘3’ steps, STR . Read and Learn!
Sometimes symptoms of a stroke are difficult to identify. Unfortunately, the lack of awareness spells disaster.
The stroke victim may suffer severe brain damage when people nearby fail to recognize the symptoms of a stroke.
Now doctors say a bystander can recognize a stroke by asking three simple questions :

S * Ask the individual to SMILE ..
T * = TALK. Ask the person to SPEAK A SIMPLE SENTENCE (Coherently) (eg ‘It is sunny out today’).
R * Ask him or her to RAISE BOTH ARMS .

If he or she has trouble with ANY ONE of these tasks, call the ambulance and describe the symptoms to the dispatcher.

NOTE : Another ‘sign’ of a stroke is
1. Ask the person to ‘stick’ out their tongue.
2. If the tongue is ‘crooked’, if it goes to one side or the other that is also an indication of a stroke.

A prominent cardiologist says if everyone who gets this e-mail sends it to 10 people; you can bet that at least one life will be saved.

And it could be your own.

First reblog post that actually saves a life.

This is a life-saving post.

the more you know

yeah don’t think that this can’t happen to you or someone you know if they’re young. my cousin’s wife is 33 and she had a stroke last year

I’ve had a stroke. It happens to people, and the more you know about this kind of stuff, the better.Because it could be important to know.

LIVE SAVING. WOOOAHH. REBLOG REBLOG REBLOG REBLOG REBLOG

Had a family member almost die of one, so signal boosting because you never know when you could save a life.

Because I feel bad if I don’t reblog…

My mother died after being paralyzed by a stroke. Please read this^

I remember a while ago here in UK there were stroke-identifying adverts. Their catchphrase was FAST:

F- Face: is their face fallen on one side?

A- Arms: can they raise both their arms up and hold them there?

S- Speech: is their speech slurred? Can they speak a full sentence?

T- Time: if all the signs show a stroke, call 999.

We managed to save my nana with this information when she had her first stroke.

Pass it on!!! Life-saving tips!!!

not to start drama in the history fandom but some of yall out there have really bad opinions and also no critical thinking skills

also while I’m here: historical figures aren’t your fandom faves. they’re real people who had profound and often terrible effects on other real people. you can’t apply fandom logic to them. you can’t fill in the blanks with no evidence other than you like the idea. you can’t vilify some of them while simultaneously stanning over “”misunderstood babies”” who committed equal atrocities. and perhaps most importantly of all, you can’t treat real history as “canon” and develop AUs where your fave is exactly how you want them to be with none of the nasty bits attached. that’s not how you read history. that’s how you get a painfully obvious bias which makes your conclusions and contributions useless.

“DON’T SUPPORT PINK MERCY SKIN!!”

Ok, why?

“BECAUSE THE PINK RIBBON IS BAD!”

While yes, the creator of the Pink Ribon symbol and her foundation fuckin sucks ass, the company that Blizzard is supporting it’s highly viable, the BCRF has been an A+ foundation with a clean history.

“IF THEY WANTED TO DONATE THE MONEY THEY COULD HAVE DONE IT THEMSELVES!!!”

While this argument is kinda super true, the point isn’t only the money, but also spreading the word, sure, they COULD HAVE donated a ton of money themselves and actually I would love if as a plus they do that, but a lot of people, specially younger people, are learning about the existence of this foundation just now.

I had no fuckin clue about the BCRF till the campain came out, never heard of it, a ton of people didn’t, the fact that such an influential game is spreading the word via their own game is a huge boost for the campaign.

“THEY MAKE YOU PAY FOR THE SKIN WHICH TAKES THE VALUE OUT OF YOUR GOOD DEED!!!”

A: Not all donations get you the Mercy skin, the goals are there to encourage players who don’t care about the campain but may want the collectables, AND to reward people for their good heart.

B: The 100% of the money collected goes directly to the charity.

C: Again, you’re not paying for the skin, you are donating money to a charity, the skin, the stickers and icons are all just rewards for people with big hearts.

D: Ton of donators are giving money via the streams, and some of them choose to donate a lot without getting reward.

“SOME PEOPLE DON’T EVEN CARE ABOUT THE TOPIC AND JUST WANT THE DAMN SKIN”

That proves that the skin idea is effective, sure, they may not care, but the skin hooked em into supporting too, the BCRF wins money even if you donate 1 dolar from the heart or a 100 looking for something back.

Sure, it’s kinda screwy doin good deeds only for what you may get, but it’s up to the person, that ain’t Blizzard nor the BCRF fault.

In conclusion?

SUPPORT PINK MERCY.

Also, it’s worth pointing out that Blizzard is donating $250,000 regardless. So that’s on top of what they raise at the end of the event.

Don’t forget the twitch streamers who are donating the money they make with this event as well!
