Hi Guys Muslim Aid Is Raising Money For Aid In Afghanistan, Following The News. Donate If You Can, Pray

hey sorry if this is a stupid question, but some of the phrasing is slightly confusing, are nonprofits themselves bad or is it jsut specifically ones such as gates' that protect private interests?

wealthy non-profits are typically a tax haven. there are decent non-profits yes, but theyre usually picking up slack that the government should have already been dealing with imo.

like we shouldn’t have charities feeding children our government should simply pay people enough and provide them with enough resources so their children dont go hungry in the first place.

but apparently this is too controversial of an opinion.

Vaccine PSA

Since Monkeypox is spreading, I just want to inform people that smallpox vaccines are potentially very dangerous for people who have eczema / atopic dermatitis. A lot of people don’t know this, but exposure to the traditional smallpox vaccine even if it’s skin to skin contact with someone who has recently been vaccinated can cause eczema vaccinatum in people with a history of eczema. It basically causes a systemic reaction that could kill us without proper and immediate treatment. This hasn’t been a huge issue because we haven’t had to universally vaccinate for smallpox in a long time. However, one of the two monkeypox vaccines has the same problem according to the CDC. Yes, there is a safe vaccine available for people with eczema / atopic dermatitis called JYNNEOS, but the ACAM2000 monkeypox vaccine is not considered safe for us and you should probably avoid skin to skin contact with anyone who receives this vaccine. That also means you should not share clothes or other items with someone who received this vaccine until at least 30 days after their last dose. I’m not a doctor, but I do have atopic dermatitis. I generally don’t want to discourage people from getting vaccinated but a lot of people like me simply don’t know we’re not physically able to be vaccinated for this the same way as people who don’t have a skin condition. Please talk to your doctors first to figure out what you can do to stay safe at this time.

People I met for a few moments that live in my head forever.

Before I go into details, I'll cut to the chase: my found family @wesonga-01 owns an orphanage that homes both kids and struggling families.But, it's struggling to get by after some hard times. We desperately need help to pay rent this month and get supplies/food.

We need to make $300 to be able to make rent! I will be selling things on my store and taking on more freelance work to try and help! So, it's not all on you!!

Please reblog or share if you can! And please DM me if you have any ideas to help. Thank you so much, you guys have gotten Yazid and his family through so much loss, illness, and hunger. I have lots of plans for the future that I'm working towards to be able to contribute more, but right now, I'm still stunted by my health. If you want to ask for details of how I'm trying to help or how hard yazid is working, DM me or him.

Not people saying “Fandom has always been like this” in that vent post I made. No. It hasn’t always been like this. Fandom has NEVER been like this until recently and if you were in fandom pre-tumblr purge, pre-twitter, pre-netflix boom, pre-tiktok….then you would fucking know it was nothing like this.

We still had the drive to create. We still sold prints and charms and made zines…but it was never like this.

The introduction of streaming, binge shows that drop all at once, tiktok and vine RIP i still love u vine but you were the beginning of a particularly ugly era) creating this bite sized, quick paced ‘content’ era of creation and it bled out into fucking everything else.

Fandoms didn’t die down when the show ended or the season was over. You didn’t mass unfollow artist, writers or moots just because they changed fandoms. There wasn’t this need to please the algorithm in order for your posts to get seen by people and enjoyed.

Fandoms used to last YEARS. Star Trek is literally the oldest running fandom out there and you got people in there that could care less about the new stuff and still have been happily prancing through their fucking fifty year old fandom today. Hell, even SPN after all it’s fuckups and shitshows has a dedicated fanbase STILL creating tons of art and fic.

There is no patience anymore. No calm feeling of taking in fandom and friends at a pace that which doesn’t make you stressed and is still fun.

Do I blame fandom for this? Of course not, but people are complacent with it and start changing their vocab to accommodate and end up making the situation so deep it cant be fixed.

We call Art & Fic Content now, completely stripping the value of what it is to a level of consumerism instead of personal entertainment & community bonding.

What does Solange sing about that non blacks can’t even begin to understand? I’m interested. You sound very hyperbolic and stupid.

And you sound angry that there are experiences and feelings and emotions that non-Black people have never experienced or felt! Solange makes it clear that she makes music for Black people that have been overlooked — the “ghetto” Black people, the hood Black people, the country Black people. Tell me what makes you think that any non-Black person can relate to ‘Almeda’, and the feeling of their religion being deemed ‘heathenish’ and ‘godless’ and washed away by slavery. Tell me what non-Black people can listen to ‘F.U.B.U’ and relate to a single thing Solange mentioned in that song. Tell me what a non-Black person is supposed to get from ‘Don’t Wish Me Well’. From ‘Don’t Wait For Me’? ‘Cranes in the Sky’? 

Tell me what makes you think that you have any right to tell Black people what and what they can’t share. There are plenty of lil’ non-Black people whispering over lazy beats for you to relate to —you gotta be really in your feelings to get upset about Black people on the internet holding tight to albums that were made for us, by us. Now go listen to Fiona Apple, hater.
