Don't be fooled by bullshit like Turbotax. If you make less than $89,000 a year (I'd say confidently that's 99% of Tumblr), you are entitled to use the IRS free file tool for your taxes. This page from the IRS lists all the software providers they have partnered with to provide this service. I have only used one on the list, but it was as good as or maybe better than Turbotax, and I repeat, free for the federal tax return. You MIGHT still have to pay a fee to file a state tax return, but it should be nominal. If you don't want to do it online, you can also go to the IRS to print out the forms directly and turn them in.

URGENT; TRANS WOMAN UNFAIRLY IMPRISONED NEEDS HELP WITH LEGAL FEES. $700 NEEDED

My sisters wife is in need of funds for legal fees & jail costs, following a mental health crisis.

If you live in the New England area, make a trip out to the Mashpee Wampanoag Tribal Museum. Hear the history of the First Thanksgiving from the people who were most affected by it. They go into detail of the events and cultural impacts of the first five years after the Mayflower's landing.

If you have ever been tempted by a Paleozoic Pal, like a a stuffed trilobite or a full size eurypterid body pillow, now's the time to buy one, before they and a really lovely little museum are gone for good 😭😭😭

As stated in the article, they hold around 7 million artifacts- many of which are orphaned fossils, with the museum taking in collections that otherwise would have been trashed.

Please consider buying a Paleozoic Pal, but I'll also leave a direct donation link as well.

I JUST WENT INTO A FUGUE STATE AND BOUGHT ME A 16 INCH CUDDLE BUDDY WITH PLATED TEETH!! DUNKIE, MY BELOVED!!

HE’S HERE! MY BIG BOY IS HERE!! (And yes he is my BIG boy despite only being 16 inches, you shush!)

He took nearly a month to get here, but that’s because of ALL THE ORDERS THEY’VE BEEN GETTING! OVER 1800 ORDERS! This is why I love the online community!!

For anyone curious what's happening with the PRI they're digging themselves out! An anonymous donor gave them $1 mn which they used to secure a stay on the forclosure for the rest of the year and they're approximately a third of the way to buying their way out of the mortgage.

NEW UPDATE IN THE ITHACA TIMES AS OF OCTOBER 22nd 2025

The article goes deeper into why they're in trouble, where they are financially, and how important they are.

I've been trying for the past 2 or so weeks to raise enough for a surgery my daughter needs or she risks infection, fibrosis and loss of bodily functions.

We need $1,300 as soon as possible so she won't be in pain and be healthy.

We've been living with black mold for the past 2 years, my 11yo is at risk of developing asthma and I've been in constant pain from my gallbladder and liver failing, an untreated tumor and in need of endodontist care for terrible tooth pain. I'm terrified of the constant chest pain I got from the stress of it all, I've been told by doctors to calm down, funny guys.

It's also that time of the month where I need to pay my healthcare renewal and considering it's the 3rd month in a row I have two periods I just can't lose my healthcare please.

I'm begging please, at least share our post.

We can't even afford flowers and food to put on our ofrenda this year.

It'll be 2 years since we lost Grandma in the fire, we would like to put some flowers for her, please. If possible even visit her tomb to clean it, leave her flowers and pay respects, it is a very important day for us.

Anything helps please.

$335/$1,300 surgery

$110/$110 healthcare COVERED

$180/$650 everything else

Paypal Kofi

Still waiting for my healthcare service mail to know the exact deadline I got to pay.

EDIT October 23rd: We got a bit over $320 these past days, we will be able to get a portable bathtub for my daughter, some groceries and a laundromat visit.

And if we could get $50 so we can afford some flowers for our Ofrenda and maybe a treat for our kids please???

Last night we had a close call.

Our 11yo had a terrible allergic reaction, we rushed him to the hospital with what little money we had, he is back home and stable but we need to get epinephrine just in case but it's very expensive.

This post is not moving, between our daughter's surgery and treatment for our 11yo I'm not sure what is more urgent but he needs an allergy specialist NOW.
