Hello

Tommy, Tumblr micro-celebrity famous for featuring/being the muse for hit posts such as ‘father is…evil?’ and ‘my cat can tell when I’m sad and instinctively bites my toes’ and ‘frustrating each other is our love language’ needs a little financial support. Please consider donating to my ko-fi or buying something from my teespring store.

Tommy was diagnosed with diabetes earlier this year under dramatic circumstances that involved a week long intensive care vet stay. She has stomatitis (an inflammation of the gums and mucus membranes) that she was on steroids for and the steroids may have damaged her pancreas. Since her diagnosis we’ve had a hard time controlling her blood sugar. Her insulin dose goes up and up. The vet thinks she has a good chance of stabilizing, that diabetic cats can and do live long, healthy and happy lives. She’s only 5. Her 6th birthday is later this month. She’s fighting. She wants to live.

Each insulin vial costs $160. Her prescription cat food is $35 for a 4 pound bag. She’s also on gabapentin for her pain and neuropathy and she’ll probably need another course of antibiotics. She currently goes to the vet every two weeks and the cost of that varies immensely. Basically, she’s a much more expensive cat than she was before and the cost of living for me has risen as well. It’s not an immediate emergency but we need funds. I’m disabled, I have an autoimmune disease that attacks my colon, I have a hard time working outside of the home or even at all because my health fluctuates and my energy levels are low. I’m trying so desperately to get better but for now I’m living in my mom’s house and sponging off my loved ones and tapping into my meager savings.

I know what you’re thinking, the thing people always comment on donation posts about pets, “if you can’t afford to care for your cat, why do you still have your cat?” and as biting as that question is, I know it’s a valid one and I’ve thought about it myself. I still have her because I need her and she needs me. She’s like my soulmate animal. We met when I was 16 and she was about 4 weeks old. There was no way I could have known we’d both be struggling sick moneypits in 5 years. I’m trying to give her the best life I can and she’s trying to give me her best self. I’m her person. I’m home 24/7 so we’re so used to having each other. She brings me immense joy and I know she’s brought a lot of other people joy. If you’re one of those people, please consider giving a couple of dollars. If you can’t afford to, that’s fine. Thank you for reading anyway.

The fact that Mark Cuban can do this is just further proof of how much capatalism is f*cking people over.

Billionaire investor Mark Cuban launched an online pharmacy Thursday that offers more than 100 generic drugs at an affordable price with a goal of being “radically transparent” in its price negotiations with drug companies. 

For example, the leukemia drug imatinib is priced at $47 a month on MCCPDC compared to the $9,657 retail price.

yes this is pretty unbelievable right now—but just look at the replies and reblogs of this post—look at all these people on twitter talking about their own experiences with it now too—this is actually real

and yes everyone is waiting for a catch, but remember it is a PRIVILEGE to think about not sharing this information out of spite for billionaires rather than needing this opportunity regardless of how long it lasts or if mark cuban is doing this for his own gain

Watch: Kiosk - Sweet Destiny (the movie) I don’t think I’ve ever asked my followers to reblog anything but this time it would mean. The actual world. To the people of Iran. If you could spread awareness of the Iranian people’s fight for freedom right now. I’m not on Twitter or Instagram (although this post is optimized for instagram so PLEASE FEEL FREE TO REPOST IT ON IG) but from what I could see there is not as much noise about this as it should be. Nor is it easy to find posts with resources and basic information. And on tumblr I’ve only seen some posts from dedicated feminist blogs or actual Iranians. And from what I’ve gathered they NEED US to share what’s going on. They are shutting down internet in Iran so it’s up to us to not let the world look past this, not this time. PLEASE join the fight for women’s rights!!!

Please help 😊 🙏🏾

Hey everyone,

So Tumblr has come out with a ridiculous banned tags list on iOS thanks to Apple. However, early this year Microsoft was trying to launch their Cloud Gaming on iOS and had a similar issue with Apple censors. Their solution was a browser version which utilises some of iOS’s in built systems. Interestingly enough, they also work with Tumblr’s browser. So here is a step by step guide of what to do;

1. Open Safari

2. Load the Tumblr webpage in Safari.

3. Tap on the share button

4. In the share menu, tap “Add to Home Screen”

5. Tap “Add”

6. You should be taken to the Home Screen where you will see a new Tumblr app. Open it.

7. Log in and enjoy.

[ Transcript: White background with black text reading, “TAMID Tuesdays at The Temple. Check all the evening classes for which you would like to register.” The second box/line is highlighted and says, “Judaism 101, Non-Member, Includes Book, $150. ]

Okay! So I’m starting my conversion path to Judaism! I’m going to be attending these classes in 2022, but I need some money if I want to take the classes 🙃. As you can see above, from the highlighted text it’ll cost $150 for me to take the class as a non-member. I’d really appreciate the help, and I’m willing to do commissions in return!

Please Help My Partner Leave Her Abusive Stepfather!

My name is Snark. My partner Moonie and I have been separated since the start of the pandemic. Only physically, mind you, as we’re just as in love as ever. I originally came home to my family in Ohio to help out with one emergency, only to get stuck here. Since then a lot has happened. I’ve been hospitalized twice from anemia, told I need surgery for my hiatal hernia– the cause of my anemia– and just in general have had difficulty surviving.

This plea, however, isn’t about that. I wouldn’t be asking for help if it weren’t for Moonie’s sake.

My wife just lost her mother to cancer. It has been a battle for months, and on Halloween she passed. Since then she has been alone in the middle of a small town in Pennsylvania with her step-father. That man is an inconsiderate monster. He’s an alcoholic, he leaves her alone to fend for herself for long stretches of hours at a time, and sometimes will just feel like not wanting to take care of anything and just bounce. Only thing he ever puts effort into is making her life more inconvenient. 

My wife Moonie is also disabled. Her mother was the one who has had control of her finances and was her guardian as she’s been disabled since childhood.

She is now not able to even get into her bank accounts because it was under her mother’s name. Social Security offices are full right now, pushing back dates on all appointments, not only hers. Moonie is alone, grieving from losing her support system, her mother, and is alone with a man that mistreats her.

I want to fix that and move her to my mother’s home in Ohio.

As I said before, I am also disabled. Have been since my 9 back surgeries in 2005. At 13 years old. We’re both dumb adults who know nothing about life, but love each other dearly. I have saved up a 1000 dollars, but that isn’t enough. Moonie needs to be out of there now.

This is why we need your help.

I want to raise an additional 3000 dollars so we can do the cross state trip. That is 9 hours there, then 9 hours back. We need a moving company to help with getting our things.

What your donation will be going to:

Moving Men to load our stuff and take it from PA to OH

Gas

Food

Getting an additional driver

It is a lot of money for something that, in text, seems so simple. I know, and I wouldn’t turn to you guys for help unless I didn’t think this was vital. My mother is helping with the move, she will be helping us with switching our SS information to Ohio where we can start the process of grieving and healing. But we just don’t have the finances and energy to do this alone.

Thank you all again for listening. I know not everyone can help with money, even a dollar can be hard to spare at times, but even spreading the word will be appreciated. 

Please reblog and help reunite Moonie and I together again.

TLDR: Disabled Partner stuck with emotionally abusive alcoholic stepfather. Need money to move her to us before Christmas.
