This issue was brought to me on my personal Instagram by one of you, and I managed to find a fundraiser for Madras Crocodile Bank Trust. Please share this and if you can, please consider donating!

Don't know why the link broke like this, but this is the fundraiser.
How METAL would it be if everyone got a mini neuropsych eval every year starting in childhood. Like how you get a checkup and a dental check every year. What if people weren't already struggling adults when they figure out they have a mental illness or a learning disability or autism or ADHD or trauma any other form of neurodivergence. Or even a a neurotypical just having an issue that needs to be addressed before it gets worse. What if maintaining your mental/emotional/neurological health was normalized as something every one does regularly and not only addressed after behavioral problems or being miserable or struggling at work or school or being an addict or having no friends?
Just kidding lol...unless?
This is painful. I have no words..

Real talk I hate modern interior design. I loathe it. I detest it in the personal vindictive way typically reserved for middle school bullies and extended family members who vote republican. Modern furniture design is grotesque, and not in the fun freaky way I respect. It is disgusting. It is morally indefensible. It has no back support, provides no comfort, no joy, no cushion for my tush or my spine. Minimalism does not exist for you, it in fact resents your very presence and the fact of your birth. These worthless sticks of chrome and pleather furniture are shaped solely to stroke the slimy egoes of fool designers & capitalists & hipster-cum-sports bars that charge $12 for an appetizer. Such morally defunct furnishings are for observation and corporate office waiting room decoration only, their raison d'etre is stubbed toes and back pain, they exist to punish you for having the needs of flesh, how dare you mistake them for friends
Imagine: Its 2025. You're getting pulled over. A community representative approaches to let you know you have a taillight out. They don't need your license and registration, they don't write you a fix-it ticket. You're back on the road in less than five minutes. You swing by the store and grab a new light, not because you're afraid of what the city will do to you, but because you respect your community and know that having all your lights working is part of the driving privilege.
Your neighbors got into a loud spat a few weeks ago and without fear or hesitation, called a domestic assistance number. A counselor arrived and was able to talk the couple down and suggest solutions for their disagreement. No one was hurt, the kids participated in the discussion, and it's been quiet ever since.
Your friend has been struggling with addiction and you fear they might be a danger to themselves or others. You call a substance abuse specialist and they talk you through ways to help your friend get treatment. They offer to send an agent out to speak with your friend directly and provide information on harm reduction centers in your area.
Black and brown people are no longer being exploited through tickets and fines to pay for police. Trust is slowly being fostered in the community.
Teachers are being paid a living wage and students are being given more time, attention, and education. Books are up to date and classrooms are optimized to keep up with technology.
Trump is out of office.
It’s been a very long time since the name of a murdered black person was used as a hashtag.
Casual racism is no longer tolerated. The KKK has been classified as a terrorist organization. The Confederate flag isnt flown and has been removed from any official state flags or insignias. Most Confederate monuments have been taken down and placed in storage or museums.
You trust the investigation force to deal with crime the same way you trust firefighters to put out fires.
That's what 'defund the police' looks like. What we've seen in the last few weeks shows how overreaching and power-drunk many officers are. We asked too much of them and then called them heroes despite evidence to the contrary. We let them think that they could get away with anything, including murder. Its time for change.

*URGENT: PLEASE READ/SIGNAL BOOST*
Tuesday, April 6th: Hi everyone, I’m Gemma, a bi, mentally ill disaster, who’s in desperate need of help, and I had to remake this post as I'm still struggling to pay my rent and keep my utilities on.
As most of you are already aware, I have been struggling financially for quite some time due to my welfare benefits being under a review, which is due to my worsening mental health and the UK’s controversial changes to how benefits are assessed and assigned. And at the moment, I'm currently struggling to get by, as I'm a bit behind on my rent, as I had to replace my broken washing machine + pay some overdue bills and I am still awaiting the outcome of my PIP assessment (April 2021 at the latest)
I'm completely heartbroken to keep asking for help, but I still desperately need some as I don't have anyone else to turn to for help and my rent is now overdue!
If anyone could spare any amount to help me, even if it’s just £1/$1/€1, it would literally save my life, and sharing definitely helps just as much as donations. Nobody is obligated in any way to donate if they can’t or don’t want to, I know we’re all struggling right now.
