Arinaitwe Gerald, an Batwa indigenous organizer I talk to regularly who lives in southwestern Uganda, is currently having trouble providing for orphaned children he and his wife have taken in in addition to their own children after their mother passed away a bit over a month ago.
One of the children, a 12 year old girl named Immaculate, is in serious pain due to having a cyst caused by goiter. She had been recommended for surgery all the way back in October, but because $700 is nowhere near an amount her late mother or Gerald and his wife can afford, she has still not gotten the treatment she needs and they are even having difficulty getting the $85 needed for an injection that would potentially help decrease the pain and size of the cyst temporarily.
maybe meant "xoomer" so it's fine
Summer means poor children are not getting 2 free meals a day at school so if you’re able, please consider donating to your local food bank.
2018 has not been geologically kind to Indonesia.
An underwater landslide caused by the eruption of Anak Krakatau spawned a tsunami that as of today (Dec. 24) has killed 373 people. This already on top of other earthquakes and volcanic eruptions, and the Sulawesi Tsunami. Millions have been displaced, thousands dead, and many more still missing. As Anak Krakatau is an actively erupting volcano, it could still generate more waves, hampering rescue efforts and displacing more people.

Many of those affected were owners of tourist driven industries, and will now be unable to earn money this holiday season as their property and businesses have been destroyed. People have their only source of income, their beloved family, and friends..
This is literally the most heart warming story I have read on Twitter so far. I think this is exactly what friends should do, and I feel everyone deserves people like this.
Hi! Sorry about this post, but my mom needs help paying bills and getting groceries. My mother is a disabled anishanaabe-metis woman and faced a very stressful situation a little before Christmas that may throw her entire life into disarray.
Long story short, her boyfriend, and her main caretaker, has been hit by a car a few days before Christmas and sustained a very very terrible brain injury. He may not recover from this, and may have to leave my mom to live in her apartment alone.
She had to go into her bill money to pay his rent and bills for him, and is going to need to dip into her grocery money a great amount as well.
The stress of this situation is starting to hit her, and is causing her great anxiety. I can offer her my time to help her talk things out, but as I have recently lost my job and am only on welfare, I am not in a situation to help her financially.
So I ask for any spare money you may have, even $5 would be appreciated. I want to ease her financial stress the best we can. If someone can raise $1000 in a day for something meaningless, I’m sure we can at least get her an extra $100, or even more, for her to pay off her bills and get groceries.
TL;DR – Disabled Native American woman needs to pay her bills and buy groceries and doesn’t have the money to do so right now.

Interesting. I've literally only used search for the past three years; may have to check out tags once I access a pc.
As you may have heard tumblr recently ‘killed the links’, making it so that any post that has any link on it (even if it links to tumblr posts or tags) will not show up in the /search/ function.
Well, I’ve got some GOOD NEWS for you. The /tagged/ function still works just fine. The bad news is the tumblr mobile app ONLY uses the /search/ function. The GOOD NEWS is the /tagged/ function has always displayed 33% more content than the /search/ function. Yup, you heard that right. If you were only using the mobile app, you were already missing out on TONS of content.
TAGGED VS SEARCH
/tagged/ function = tumblr.com/tagged/tag name
This is what most people refer to by ‘looking in the tag’. It only populates posts that have the tag name within the first 5 tags. If you’re posting alot, it will oftentimes only show your last 3 posts in a given tag to prevent you from spamming it. It’s very accurate.
/search/ function = tumblr.com/search/word
This searches all words in a given post, including the first 20 tags and the entire text of the post itself. The mobile app only uses the /search/ function and is missing 33% of what is available in the /tagged/ function. So if you only use the mobile app, you are literally missing 1/3 of what the fandom is posting. This is why I only use the more accurate /tagged/ function. Unfortunately, this is also referred to as ‘looking in the tag’ when it is not actually looking in the tag but ‘looking in the word search’.
I’ve actually avoided the /search/ function for years because of these problems. I only use the /tagged/ function but it is a bit harder to use on a mobile browser which is why I only look in the tags using my desktop computer. At least now you can still FIND all the content you might have missed.
The Pigeon Universe =) j’ai bien rigolé !

It’s summer and like last year I’ll make some parodies of lots of things !
it’s a nice exercice to train and it’s really funny !
Wonder what face could make the creators if they see this xD
I know that a lot of desperate and in need people post things like this on here all the time, but at this time in my life it seems that I’m left with little to no other options.
This post was made by my mother and so is very long and complicated, as she tends to be (something I say lovingly), so I will try to simplify the situation here as well as tell a bit about myself and how this situation drastically effects me.
The long and short of it is that my mother was supposed to get some thousands of dollars in student loans that she did not get because of a misunderstanding when filling out the forms for her student loans.
Because of this we have had to move into a mobile home almost 30 mins from where I work, which is particularly bad because our car broke down soon after our move, meaning it is almost impossible for me to get to my two jobs without outsider help, which can only last so long and go so far.
Not only has this put our shelter, housing, and overall well being in danger, but it has also put all of our goals and dreams on hold.
I personally am a pre-everything gay trans man, and I obviously cannot pay for any kind of treatment if I can’t get to my jobs, and I doubt I will be able to start college any time in the near future if we can’t even pay the rent for our mobile home.
Tldr for this and gofundme page: Single mother and trans son need help buying car to get to jobs and live in general. Literally any money helps and I get it if you aren’t in the position to help out right now.
Thank you so much.
