My mother is so worried about me. I don’t ‘ take’ money either, it embarrasses me. But my mother started a GoFundMe to and help me. I feel it would be rude to not showiy and at least give it attention.
I’d be plumb humbled to those who donate and mighty thankful for those that can share it along. Thank you.
A very talented artist and lovely person, Locosaltinc, is in some deep trouble right now.
On Nov 7th she was life flighted to Ruby memorial hospital in serious condition caused by two autoimmune disorders, and as of Saturday night her condition worsened further. She’s now being kept sedated and intubated as the doctors are fighting to save her life.
To say I’m worried about her would be an understatement.
As stated above, her mother made a gofundme for her to help pay her bills and rent while she’s in hospital (unfortunately those don’t stop existing no matter how sick you are) so I’m begging you, if you can’t donate (which is understandable) do consider spreading the word, retweet the link or reblog the post, and help her reach people who can help her.
Thank you for your time!
According to the latest update Loco is doing better. She’s still under sedation and intubated, but she’s responding well to treatment. I’m going to keep signal boosting this post for as long as necessary, or until the tumblr apocalypse happens December 17th. Whichever comes first I suppose!
In response to the NSFW ban being enacted by Tumblr Staff, on December 17th 2018 I propose that we all log off of our Tumblr accounts for 24 hours.
The lack of respect and communication between staff and users is stark. Users have been begging staff to delete the porn bot outbreak, which has plagued the website for well over a year. The porn bots oftentimes send people asks and messages, trying to get them to go to a website full of viruses. They also spam advertisements on others posts.
Users have also begged that Tumblr ban neo-nazis, child porn, and pedophiles, all which run rampant on the site. The site/app got so bad that it was taken off the app store.
However, instead of answering the users, Tumblr has instead taken the liberty to ban all NSFW content, regardless of age. But users have already run into issues of their SFW content being marked as sensitive and being flagged as NSFW, not allowing them to share their work.
Not only does this discriminate again content creators, but it also discriminates against sex workers. Disgustingly, the ban will be enacted on December 17 which is also International Day to End Violence Against Sex Workers.
This ban is disgusting, and while I (and plenty of others) welcome porn bots and child porn being banned, the Tumblr filtration system is broken. It tags artistic work’s nipples as NSFW (when it is art), it tags SFW art as NSFW (when it is not), and does not stop the porn bots, neo-nazis and dozens of other issues.
This ban is discriminatory. This ban is ineffective. This ban is unacceptable.
To protest, log off of your Tumblr account for the entirety of November 17th. Log off at 12 am EST or 9PM PST and stay off for 24 hours. Don’t post. Don’t log on. Don’t even visit the website. Don’t give them that sweet ad revenue.
Tumblr’s stock has already taken a hard hit. Let’s make it tank. Maybe then they will listen to the users.
Reblog to signal boost! We must force change.
I’ll most likely be doing this. I encourage you to do the same.
I don’t know if it will really change anything, but give it a shot. Let’s show Tumblr we are not happy with their constant fuckin’ shitty choices.
Don’t log in for ANY reason on D-Day. No reason. A full 24 hours. Go take a self-care day. Eat some fancy snacks, drink a soda, sit in the tub for a few hours.
I think this is a good idea and I’ll be doing this. My posts are infrequent, but I’ll make sure there won’t be any content and I’ll log out on both my phone and computer for this on Dec 17th. I encourage you to do the same, and to please spread this!
I’m doing sex work to make ends meet but a fucking client won’t pay me shit for my time rn and now I need help so I can pay for transportation to school, food, and etc bc I’m not getting paid from my main job until next Friday. PayPal: hasminae@gmail.com 💙 Venmo: Jasmine-Panaligan
If you can’t donate a reblog is appreciated!
I’m getting less and less hours from my work so my paychecks are shrinking and although I’m slowly recovering from this financial fall out I still need help paying a lot of bills and anything is appreciated
