Please Spread The Word!!

i need help. my landlord is demanding we pay off our rent arrears and then continue to pay our rent in full every month or we could be kicked out. we’ve gotten as much help as the council will give us (which isn’t much because of circumstances). we really can’t be without a home right now - it’s cold and both me and my mother have chronic illness and mental illness. if you want more details, you can dm me. we also need food. every day we only eat something small at night and food supply is running out.

so please help us out! if it helps: we’re ojibwe (but not in america - if you want more details dm me) and severely disabled. i have multiple mental illnesses. neither of us can work. i’m literally begging for help at this point. if you can’t donate, please reblog!

Dear Tumblr,

Ever feel like you’re stuck in a mindless scroll and can’t get out?

Click HERE for a survey about how your online habits affect your happiness

Ah, the gap between intent and action, the “now self” vs. the “later self,” or morning guy vs. night guy:

We all know our tendency to opt for immediate rewards even when (especially when?!) it doesn’t align with long-term goals. We put off exercise. Date people we shouldn’t. Watch shows instead of work. 

As a researcher interested in all things human behavior, this got me thinking. The internet (more specifically, Tumblr) is the perfect place for us to more deeply understand why we behave in ways that don’t make us happy. Tumblr sees a future where social platforms aren’t designed to exploit our tendency to seek immediate rewards. So I approached them with a question:

What if we could ‘nudge’ our decisions to reflect a version of ourselves that brings us happiness in both the short and long-term?

Enter Benevolent Hellsite.

Welcome to an exploration and investigation of happiness and human behavior online. This blog is a staff-affiliated, independent research project designed to start a conversation.

The end goal? 

Create real features on Tumblr meant to increase short and long-term happiness, informed by YOU—Tumblr users—and the science of human behavior.

What to expect from this blog:

1. Open discussions about how our behavior online leads to (or takes away from) our happiness

2. Prototypes of new features based on your responses

‘Happiness’ looks different for everyone, so…

Hey remember when US and Russia was all like “We’re the best!!! We’ve won the space race!!!!” But India sent a kick-ass space probe to Mars and the whole mission was fuel efficient, costed less and a roaring success in the first try and then they were like “…..wait no that can’t be true” and still have the audacity to call us “underdeveloped” or only view us as a ‘third world country’? :)

For anyone who needs more info, the probe was called Mangalyaan (which literally means space probe vehicle) or Mars Orbiter Mission (MOM) and you can also get more information here and here

Don’t scroll past this. Please.

One of my partners, @foofy-model-260 isn’t doing well and has asked me to make a one note a day post.

She’s decided to keep the reasons private, and you may dm them for details.

For every three notes she won’t consider doing anything. You are limited to eight notes per blog per day.

So I've been unemployed for a while now- trust me, I am doing everything in my power to get a job -and am living off unemployment payments. Unfortunately, after rent and paying my phone plan and half of my health insurance, I'm out of money. Thanks, government that thinks people deserve to live under the poverty line for the crime of being unemployed.

Tw suicide mention below

I also suffer mental health issues... I have severe PTSD and deal with psychotic symptoms. I pay for health insurance because it allows me to be hospitalised, and I also pay for meds and psych appointments.

To be honest, I should be in hospital right now. I have episodes, and in my most recent one I tried to kill myself. The public system didn't admit me because by the time I was at the hospital I had calmed down, and because my friends had prevented me from doing any harm to myself. They just let me go home.

So my only choice is private hospital. The gap after insurance is $500. I don't even have enough money to buy groceries, and my family won't help because they basically disowned me for being gay.

I need this hospitalisation, desperately. It has helped me before when I am at my worst. It stabilises me and helps me regain my mental strength. My life is hard sometimes. Sometimes I just break. I wouldn't e-beg if this wasn't vital.

Basically, I need financial help. To save the $500, but also to eat this week. I have a ko-fi account, which is currently the only place I can accept donations:

Donate here

Disclaimer: donations through ko-fi are sent to my friend's old paypal account. My own account got limited and I am having trouble getting them to unrestrict it. I get notified of all ko-fi donations so my friend can't sneak any of the money, not that she would anyway. If you wanna talk to her, send me an ask off anon for her tumblr url.

anyone else think the timing of this whole queen dying shit is a little bit convenient considering if she actually kicks it all the media is going to be talking about for the next however many months is her funeral and the new monarch instead of. yknow. the fact the government is in the middle of taking our human rights away. anyone else feel like this just a little bit too perfectly timed to not be blanket coverage

(EDIT) y'all are doing my fucking head in in the notes lmao like you really missed the point here, just ignore my mostly joking accusation of staging the queen's death for a sec here and maybe think about how even if they didn't do that, they are definitely going to take advantage of the situation as much as possible to distract from the fact that millions of poor brits will starve and freeze to death in their homes this winter whilst what little money they have will be spent on her solid gold coffin. if it's not a conspiracy already it's going to become one. they will take any opportunity they can to make sure the media and the government and by extension WE don't have to talk about the worst cost of living crisis in decades and our increasingly fascist leadership. they WILL make sure this is all we hear about as they continue chipping away at our rights and our wallets throughout autumn and winter and beyond. making jokes and celebrating her death is all well and good and we should be glad she's dead but this is only going to make matters worse for the poorest and most vulnerable people in our country. the tyranny she oversaw and was complicit in will not end just because she's dead. they'll use it to get away with even more shit
