Hello people of tumblr! So, my and my mother's cell plan via TMobile was canceled due to non repayment and our past due fees in December of last year when my mom lost her job. My father refuses to pay it and help us get the phones back on. Our spectrum internet has also been dwindling since then as well which is the only thing we have to rely on at this point. I could get a tech put here to see what's happening and how to fix it, but spectrum techs in my area are highly unreliable and on top of that getting replacement equipment isn't a gaurentee as it's a first come first serve type of situation. Even if we did get the new router and modem, they need to be activated via their app which obviously relying only on internet and having no cell service, it'll be difficult to do that. I looked into maybe getting government phones for the two of us as we'reset to get medicaid cards in the mail and coversge to start Sept 1st. However each company I looked into allows only one phone per household. Now, I'm not comfortable sharing a phone with my mother for numerous reasons including she's always been pretty abusive mentally/emotionally to me and she constantly cheats on my father with random men. Is there anyway we could get more than one phone from a lifeline or any related program? Are there any programs who help pay off debt/past due fees? Alternatively, I do have chime ($Lee4421) if you can donate to help get the phones back on. My mother also has cashapp if you'd maybe like to donate to her instead. Her cashapp will be shown in a screenshot. Last time she checked in May, the total past due was $304.32 but it could have easily gone up to around $642.32 since our bill usually happened on the 5th of each month and they add to it each month it's unpaid. On top of all that, there is an $80 reactivation fee plus unknown taxes. If you can give me any advice, tips on how to navigate this, donations, or even boost this I would GREATLY appreciate it. This is URGENT. Thank you all.

Hello people of tumblr! I have not had cell service since December 2022. I am under my mother's plan as I can not get an ID to have my own. She has not had a job since after my dad went into the hospital in July 2022. We also need the internet replaced DESPERATELY as it shuts itself off at the end of each month, and it's our only form of communication/getting things done. However, in order to have it, the router and modem need to be activated, which we would need cell service to rely on to be able to even do that. If you would like to help, it's 303.23 for past due fees, 90 for reactivation, and 169 for the bill on Jul 5th. Altogether, it's roughly 530. If you would like to help, my mother's cashapp is $lumjeannie. However, if that doesn't work, please try typing it without the $ or using her QR code. Please feel free to boost!
I ALSO NOW HAVE CHIME IF YOURE MORE COMFORTABLE DONATING TO ME DIRECTLY $Lee4421. I ALSO NEED TO PAY MY SPECTRUM BILL BEFORE AUGUST 10TH OR ELSE ON THE 12TH MY INTERNET/HOME PHONE/TV WILL BE SUSPENDED. PLEASE BOOST IF YOU CANNOT DONATE. THIS IS URGENT. ALSO HERE JS WHAT MY MOTHER'S CASHAPP LOOKS LIKE
ao3 is facing a ddos attack from an overseas right-wing anonymous group because it contains "degeneracy and disgusting things like LGBT and NSFW".
they're not the only right-wing group that is attacking fanfiction sites because of queer & nsfw content. the Heritage foundation, the US right wing think tank that writes laws for republicans, wrote an article about how "big tech turns kids trans" in which they're advocating for the Kid's Online Safety Act to pass because it will give state attorney generals power to sue websites for "potentially harmful content towards minors". in this article they point out websites like wattpad, tumblr, tiktok, twitter as sites that GOP attorney generals can and will target for censorship if this bill passes. all places where fandom, that's mostly queer, hangs out.
if you think this bill has no chance of passing because of all the red flags it poses, think again. it currently has 38 cosponsors in the senate, and is being pushed by the democrats as a "protecting the children!!" type bill.
there are left-aligned orgs in congress rn lobbying for this bill to pass. july is extremely decisive, because if KOSA goes through to markup it'll be bundled with the Earn It act, Restrict, and all the other bad internet bills and passed as a package, completely censoring the internet forever.
if you want to learn more about the bill, go here. also sign the open letter against it here
it's ESSENTIAL that you call your members of congress, specifically Maria Cantwell (you can call from out of state) and tell them DO NOT PASS KOSA. this site here connects you to your members of congress and gives you a short simple script to read off of! super easy and doesn't take much out of your day! please do this now!!

Loss, grief and mothers are interesting in The Bear.
The card of mother Mary with Jesus Christ, one of her son’s who famously dies is such an interesting way to relate to Mikey. From all the shots the card is shown which I think is telling of how Mikey and Donna are like.
But right now I’m not gonna talk about Mikey and Donna, I can get into it but my focus is on Carmy and Sydney and how grief and loss is a pit within them.
With forks being a great look into the Berzatto’s it did make me realize something, Carmy uses his family as motivators. In s1 his monologue about cooking to prove something felt specifically towards Mikey, his anger, hurt, and pain that Mikey didn’t see him. So he put his head down to prove his brother wrong. In forks we see why he headed to New York as an escape, fully absorbed.
His destructive family motivates Carmy into moving away to focus on cooking, his loss of his brother causes him to focus on cooking, in his hurt he focuses on cooking. No matter how you look at it Carmy cooks maybe less because of a passion and more because that is all he has in his feeling of grief. In s2 ep1 he tells richie plainly he doesn’t do it because it’s fun or he loves it. It’s something that HAS to be done because he can’t think of anything else to be or do. It was his brother, it was his mom, and if it can be him too maybe then he will be closer finally to them.
Sydney on the other hand is a constant of working with what she has. You can’t grieve who you don’t know, and yet she does in a way we don’t know exactly yet, but the pieces in s2 kinda got my mind rolling.
Sydney cooks as a means of connection, she is a quilt of Chicago and people. Bits and pieces carried around. Her grief is how things don’t stick, they burn out and all that’s left is her watching it go. I have a feeling in the future we see more about Sydney life and her relationship how she builds herself out of pieces because unlike Carmy she’s only had her dad. Her mom are pieces of her dad and pictures. A grief that isn’t tangible, made of paper ready to fly away if not held strong. This reflects on her burning need, she cooks bc she likes it, it makes her closer to people, it’s an impact she can see and feel. Nobody forgets good food.
At the core it feels like both Sydney and Carmy have a passion for cooking, but s2 made it a little clearer on how that passion looks like and why. I just find it neat to look at it through the contrasting mothers between the two.
Unfortunately for Nat I do worry for her, her relationship is far different from the two of them which I’ll probably write later or wait for s3.

as a neurodivergent, disabled and LGBT teen, the internet means so much to me and has taught me so much, it has also lead me to meet some amazing individuals who i'm so glad are in my life to this very day. without the internet, i would not know who i am or if i ever was going to exist in the first place. that is how much the internet means to me.
this bill, KOSA, will limit that. this bill will make it so i cannot get the valuable information i need and will not make me able to see my friends EVER again, this will also happen to many others if this bill does pass. this bill does more harm than any "good" it is trying to do. this bill will destroy the internet and many lives in its footsteps, this CANNOT happen.
there is still time to act and to push forward. 2 senators have spoken up about their concerns which is AMAZING, this means our voices DO matter and are getting heard. we can still do this. it may be hard, but pushing forward is our option. we can do this.
CALL YOUR SENATORS, CALL YOUR LAWMAKERS, AND IF YOU CANNOT CALL YOU EMAIL THEM. SPAM THEM SO THEY KNOW HOW UPSET YOU ARE. LET YOUR VOICE BE HEARD AND KNOWN. STOP KOSA.
KOSA is a censorship bill that won’t make kids safe. Instead, it'll put all internet users at risk, especially youth. If you believe in a fr

Warning: the following post contains mature themes and references to drug overdose, death, and Fentanyl.
For the record, what I'm about to say in regards to NARCAN has nothing to do with me standing on a soapbox. Instead, I'm asking that people do what they can to educate themselves on the importance and necessity of this life-saving drug.
And I'll start by telling you a story:
This morning, I went to check on my roommate who lives on the floor above me. She had asked me to make sure she didn't sleep through her many alarms like she always did so that she could make it to work on time. She's a server at a steakhouse chain - and a damn good one at that.
She's also my friend. A friend who, just like myself, is nearly nine months sober.
Except this morning when I knocked on her door, she didn't answer. And when I opened the door and peeked in her room she appeared to be fast asleep. But she was half naked, and the fan she had borrowed from me the night before was set to full blast. Even though it was cold outside.
Her room was like an ice box. And she was so pale. And no matter how loud I said her name, she wouldn't open her eyes and look at me.
She wouldn't wake up.
So I poked her in the shoulder. I shook her. I yelled her name. And then I realized her lips were blue. Her body was stiff. And she was cold to the touch.
The only sound she could make was that of a low, almost eerie groan. If I'm being honest, it's a sound that I'd never quite heard before. And I don't want to ever hear it again.
What I would come to realize seconds later was that my friend had overdosed on Fentanyl. Possibly a few hours earlier. Which meant she was fucking dying.
I panicked, of course. Because I'm an alcoholic. I've never touched Heroin, let alone witnessed an overdose. I know what to do if someone was suffering from, say, alcohol poisoning...but this...this was brand new territory.
Because with Fentanyl, seconds fucking matter.
I sprinted to wake up another girl. Seconds later we were back with our friend where our worst fear was absolutely confirmed.
Fentanyl Overdose.
I'd never fucking seen this. Never. But we didn't have time to fall apart because from there we dashed down the stairs. She went straight for the NARCAN and I went for my phone to call 911.
Less than a minute later, she and I were back in our friend's room to administer the NARCAN, only for us to realize that she wasn't breathing anymore.
By this point, another one of my housemates had joined us as well. And the others were soon to follow. While I was on the phone relaying instructions from the dispatcher on how to revive our friend, the others were moving her limp body to the floor.
They were doing chest compressions. Two were racing to find more NARCAN stashed in someone's glove compartment. And then another was directing EMS on where to go in the house.
It was a team effort to make sure this girl fucking lived. We could yell at her for this tomorrow. But for now, all we cared about was her living today.
I had never been through this. But as much as I hate to say this, today I was grateful that there were others in the house who had been through this before. For those who knew how to administer NARCAN.
In total, we administered something like 28 milligrams to bring her back. Which is a lot. A cop may have mumbled out something about us not waiting long enough in between doses to see if we'd given her enough before administering another. But he can go kick rocks.
Because we did the best we could all while running on straight adrenaline and doing everything we could to save someone while not falling apart in the process.
In the end, what matters is that she woke up. She was in pain. And very ill. And has since been admitted to the hospital.
Now the rest of us are left to deal with the tears and the adrenaline comedown, along with the guilt of all the signs we may or may not have missed. And that is really fucking shitty. I am so mad at my friend.
But at the same time, I love her so damn much. And I'm grateful that I will hopefully have the opportunity to share all these feelings with her one day soon.
She was fucking lucky. And so were we.
I'm grateful we found her in-time - because the paramedics made it very clear that we cut it real close. I'm grateful I live with people who found it in them to unite to save someone's life.
I'm grateful for NARCAN.
And beyond that, I'm grateful that I now know what to do with it. I never completely comprehended the weight of its importance until today. I didn't quite understand why my friend kept a stash of it in her glove compartment when she had no intentions of getting high anymore.
But today that stash saved her life. I'm begging you, if you have a loved one who suffers from this disease, please consider keeping this life-saving drug within reach.
Read up about it. Talk about it. Even if it makes you uncomfortable. Even if you can't fathom why someone would think of or want to use. Even if the idea of having to use it scares you.
I'm sure if it ever came down to it, you would rather have it and not need it than need it and not have it. Wouldn't you?
I've come to learn that many people who relapse, even after months of serious sobriety, don't plan it. It just happens. Impulsivity is a deadly part of this disease. One lapse in judgement - just one - could very well mean death.
It's really that serious.
Because with this disease, you're always guaranteed another relapse. But you're never guaranteed another recovery.
Thanks to NARCAN, my friend will have another shot.
That's all I've got for now, guys and gals. I'd be lying if I said we weren't all emotional wrecks over here. But it's all gonna be okay.
And finally, but most importantly: if you're struggling with anything, be it addiction or mental health, there is no shame in asking for help. Not now. Not ever. We're all human. We all need love.
We all deserve support to overcome our darkest of days.
every time i think to myself: 'this sober shit is boring' i remember there were times, when i was willing to give up anything except my next dose, for a chance to be where i am today.
