your romantic partner has needs that need to be met and will sometimes need you to do things they cant, this is not wrong or weird and it doesn't automatically make them an Evil Manipulative Abuser or whatever. I feel like the culture I was raised in treats willingly caring for people you care about as dangerously codependent or infantilizing or shameful/embarrassing

He Can Be Yours.

It's Ivan The Elephant, now in the process of being turned into a marketable plushie! With your help and a cool $2 (as a deposit to purchase the plush if this campaign reaches its pledge goal), this 9" tall version of Ivan can rampage and murder within your very own home! Thank you to Gimme Swag for making this possible!

Pledge your $2 here and make Ivan The Elephant REAL!

Ivan's right! If the goal isn't made, you WILL be refunded your $2!

The kid was picked up by an ambulance 30 minutes later.

Now as an adult working in security I get SO MANY folks- upper-middle aged mostly- coming to me to 'rat out' people they think are faking it.

I was once sent into a bathroom because a client demanded that the "fucker won't get out, so go drag them out"- I was NEVER going to do that, so I did a wellness check instead. You know who it was? A person recently released from the hospital after a car accident. They had a hole in their skull and major hearing loss. They couldn't answer the owner because they couldn't HEAR the owner.

Another time about a homeless man who got around town by kicking the ground from his wheelchair. "You know he doesn't actually need that thing, his legs work fine, it's just for pity points"- Oh, so he's not paralyzed, his wheelchair is performative? Funny story Dale, I actually know that guy, he was backed over by a truck and has chronic pain from his shattered pelvis. But sure, let's make him stand up and walk everywhere so nobody feels too bad for him and tries to help him or something.

"She doesn't need that scooter, I've seen her get out of it."

"Look how fat he is, because he just rides around and refuses to get up."

"She doesn't really need that cane- she comes here without it all the time"

Raneen, @a00h2, is my friend. She is trapped in Gaza, Palestine, with her family. She lost everything in the bombings and is now in poverty and homelessness. Her 1-year-old baby is in a respirator; he has very dangerous lung cancer. There is no treatment in Gaza that can save him. She needs to pay $1,400 more before this Friday to get the baby out of Gaza, so he can receive proper treatment.

My friend doesn't have that money. She can't help him alone. Please, I beg of you, don't just reblog. Donate, whatever you can. $40, $20, $10, $5, whatever you can, it will all be useful. Thank you so much.

Her account is vetted by @90-ghost here, by @gazavetters (#576) , and by @bilal-salah0. This Chuffed fundraiser goes directly to her; for transparency, you can dm @a00h2 if you want to confirm it.

IMPORTANT!: WHEN DONATING TO THE CHUFFED, PLEASE DO IT THROUGH PAYPAL, OTHER METHODS WOULD TAKE TOO LONG TO ARRIVE.

PLEASE, HELP SAVE THE LIFE OF MY FRIENDS' BABY!!
