PLEASE READ. WILL NOT HURT TO AND FORWARD. Kids are putting Drano, tin foil, and a little water in plastic drink bottles and capping it up - leaving it on lawns, in mail boxes, in gardens, on driveways etc. just waiting for you to pick it up intending to put it in the rubbish, but you’ll never make it!!!
If the bottle is picked up, and the bottle is shaken even just a little - in about 30 seconds or less it builds up enough gas which then explodes with enough force to remove some your extremities. The liquid that comes out is boiling hot as well. Don’t pick up any plastic bottles that may be lying in your yards or in the gutter, etc. Pay attention to this. A plastic bottle with a cap. A little Drano. A little water. A small piece of foil. Disturb it by moving it; and BOOM!! No fingers left and other serious effects to your face, eyes, etc. Please ensure that everyone that may not have email access are also informed of this.

If you take any daily medication, do not eat grapefruit or activated charcoal unless you know for a fact they won’t affect your medication.
Both Grapefruit and Activated Charcoal will cancel out medication.
‘Where would you ever eat activated charcoal?’ You may be asking
Well
Halloween eve is here y’all and if you want a black cocktail or cupcake, it was probably made black with activated charcoal! So please double check before consuming!!

DO NOT SCROLL JUST REPORT AND BLOCK.
Hey guys pls go report and block this person
They have posted literal cp and animal p0rn plus r saying slurs
Just a heads up
I came out to my parents yesterday. Actually, I was bullied out of the closet by my mom, but that's.. a whole thing. It was an honest to God wreck, like I was expecting, but it's over with.
That said, I think I'm gonna take a short hiatus until things even out at home and I figure this mess out. Thank you guys for being patient with me.
And shout-out to my beautiful girlfriend 💜 she's the best support system I could've ever dreamed of.
Hey guys. I was informed today by my mom that she’s been thinking about kicking me out on my eighteenth birthday. My birthday is in just about three months, and while I do have a job, it pays hardly anything with the amount of hours I’m given. Each paycheck is just over $100 USD, and my parents are forcing me to pay them back for textbooks and making me pay for gas to get to school.
I don’t have a car, and I can’t drive yet, so I’m pretty much stuck in my house with no means of transportation and no way to get out. On top of this, I’m a college student and I have been diagnosed with Generalized Anxiety Disorder and major depression. I take medication for this, and they just informed me that I’m going to have to start paying for my medication and my weekly therapy appointments.
I really hate asking for money. So to reconcile for this, I promise that anyone who pays about $10 USD on either my Ko-fi or PayPal, I’ll write a drabble of whatever that person wants, from about 1k to 2k words.
Please don’t feel obligated to give, but it would mean the world to me if you guys could help. Even a little bit helps.
My goal is to move to Canada to be with my girlfriend - the deadline was two years, but now it looks like it might be sooner than that - and moving from California all the way to Ontario is going to be a feat in itself.
Even if you can’t give, a signal boost would be amazing. Thank you so much for all your love and support.

YouTube PSA
In case you haven’t seen anything about it yet, DON’T SPAM CHATS IN LIVE-STREAMS ON YOUTUBE RIGHT NOW!
This isn’t about a “don’t clog the chat” issue, but a genuine logistical issue with YouTube’s banning system.
During one of Markiplier’s live-streams this past week he had viewers use emotes (especially channel members, who have special emotes) to vote on choices in the stream, and THOUSANDS of people have had their ENTIRE account suspended because of it.
And not just their YouTube account, but their ENTIRE GOOGLE ACCOUNT. This means gmail, google docs, google slides, on top of their YouTube accounts. And it was completely without warning.
Here’s Mark’s video on the issue.
So until YouTube fixes this issue, DON’T SPAM CHATS IN YOUTUBE LIVE-STREAMS. Maybe even don’t watch any live-streams on YouTube right now to be safe, and if you do want to watch one, maybe sign out of your account and watch as a guest to not risk losing your entire google account, or watch an archived version later when the stream has ended.
FOR THE SAFETY OF YOUR ENTIRE GOOGLE ACCOUNT (Gmail, google docs, YouTube account, etc) DON’T SPAM YOUTUBE LIVESTREAM CHATS. THEIR AUTOMATIC SYSTEM IS SUSPENDING ACCOUNTS WITHOUT WARNING AND YOUTUBE ISN’T DOING ANYTHING ABOUT IT RIGHT NOW.
ATTENTION:
To those outside of China- please DO NOT HOARD FACE MASKS!! If you don’t feel safe without one please buy one that is individually packaged and reuse it. Do not buy boxes of them. MEDICAL WORKERS NEED THEM!
During the SARS epidemic many hospitals ran out of masks and were unable to buy more, leaving tons of nurses, doctors, EMTs, and epidemiologists exposed and many hospitals now are already starting to run low on supplies.
PROTECT OUR MEDICAL WORKERS! DON’T HOARD MASKS!
Please reblog! Spread the word!
If you see it, reblog it.

Important PSA
I keep seeing all this stuff on detoxing. So I thought I should let you guys know that’s not a thing. Detoxing isn’t scientifically supported in anyway. In fact, it’s quite the opposite. From a medical standpoint, detoxing doesn’t make sense and could potentially even be harmful. Our bodies will naturally filter out any sort of toxic or harmful thing that may enter our body, and our bodies certainly don’t produce their own toxins. Eating or drinking something that’s supposed to “detox” isn’t gonna help you be more healthy. The best ways to get and stay healthy are to eat a balanced diet and stay active.
And that concludes Kyla’s speech on the dangers of detoxing. (Of course if we’re talking alcohol detox that’s a whole different thing. Go see a doctor.)
PSA:
If you’ve never met someone with OCD before it can be confusing when you first hangout with them. It can be really rough for the person with OCD to have people questioning them about why they’re doing something or why they’re asking you to do something you think is weird. It’s okay to ask questions about the disorder and their compulsions or whatever, but it’s not okay to question the disorder itself, and it’s definitely not okay to ask the person if they’re joking.
A lot of people see OCD as a disorder revolving around organization, color coordination, etc. This can be part of it for some people, but for many people that is not the case. And for people who do obsess over those things, it’s not quirky. It’s not being a clean freak. It’s a disorder that takes time out of their life and is constantly nagging at them.
For most people, however, that isn’t part of it. I’m one of the messiest people you will ever meet and in no way fit the stereotype. That doesn’t make my disorder any less torturous or valid. So please, be understanding of the disorder and respectful of how difficult it can be for those struggling with it.
So when I turn the ac dial in your car back and forth eight times, be patient with me. When I turn to look at something and then have to do a full 360 a couple times, be patient with me. If I ask you to please stir your straw six times counterclockwise, be patient with me.
It may be difficult to understand, but please try your best to be accommodating. It may be a bit rough for you; it may get in the way sometimes. If you ever get aggravated at our compulsions, please try to remember how hard it is for us. We hate it too.
Been overwhelmed with guilt about this for almost a week now.
What people don't understand about abusive parents
What people don’t understand about abusive parents is that we can’t always hate them. We can’t just constantly hate them because a lot of them are quite nice half the time. It makes it hard to hate them because it’s like “they’ve been horrible to me but they treated me to a present yesterday or a cute little chocolate bar so I’d me rude to hate them because of what they’ve done for me” and it’s destroys your mind because then people questions if they actually are abusive when you seen to like them at that time.
Oh my god please tell me this is a joke. People perceiving my bpd as manipulation has torn my life apart and I just lost the love of my life to it. This disorder ruins my life. It took him away from me. And I’m so fucking tired of it.
I really don’t understand why so many borderlines are so afraid of unintentionally being manipulative.
Important PSA
Don’t punish your kids for having mental health issues. That’s what happened to me and it resulted in me giving up on getting help. When you punish or get mad at your kids for having issues and/or needing treatment or hospitalization it makes them stop telling you what’s wrong. And I know it’s hard. I’ve had loved ones in hospitals plenty of times. But it’s much better to have someone living but in a hospital than have someone dead.

PSA for all of you
Something I needed to address, due to recent events. It is important to me to be understood; I have had made horrible mistakes in the past, but I am owning up to those mistakes.
PSA!!! Y’all be careful in this heat!!!!
PSA!!! Y’all be careful in this heat!!!!
I need everyone, literally every human, to know:
YOU NEED A FUCKING ADVANCED DIRECTIVE.
I don't care if you're young. If you're old. If you think your kids know what you want. If you think your spouse knows what you want.
DO THE FUCKING PAPERWORK SO YOUR FAMILY WON'T HAVE TO GO THROUGH THIS.
I was a victim of identity theft and hastily created a public tumbler account.
I discovered an account impersonating me and hastily created a public account.
▷ [ https://www.tumblr.com/shiki-2p ] The above account is spoofing, reposting without permission, etc. It is a very malicious account that posts my illustrations, FA, and even Commission's illustrations without permission and adds arbitrary captions.
Please block the URL account and do not respond further. Do not let the thief get carried away.
Proof of identity can be made as I have in my possession a full-size illustration without signature. However. The thief cannot do that. And even this icon is not possessed by the impersonator. Because it is something that is not publicly available! LOL!
Please do not be fooled.
Please pass this on to all your friends around you!
I will try to publish some of my work here as well to avoid further damage in the future.
Please give my best regards!

I keep having to tear down extremely predatory/misleading Scien.tology flyers in my school's art building. This is the third fucking time I've ripped the fuckers up and I'm getting Real Fucking Tired of it.
For all of the northerners that stood up for Texas during our freeze and said, "Don't make fun of them, they've never dealt with this before. Their infrastructure isn't made for snow and freezing."
This one is for you.
Where I live 108°F with 80% humidity with no wind is normal.
Pacific North West is dealing historic best waves 35-40°C or 95-105°F.
First of all. Don't make fun of them for bitching about the heat. Just like Texas isn't built for a freeze and our pipes burst, Pacific North West isn't built for heat and a lot of their homes don't have AC.
If you live somewhere with a high humidity like 80+ HUMIDITY IS NOT YOUR FRIEND. The "humidity makes it feel cooler" is a lie once it gets beyond a point.
If you live somewhere with a lower humidity, misters are nice to cool off outside.
Once you get over 90°F (32°C) a fan will not help you. It's just pushing around hot air. (I mean if you can't afford a small AC unit because they're expensive as hell, by all means a fan is better than nothing).
If you have pets, those portable AC units aren't safe. If your pets destroy the outtake thing, it'll leak CO2. Window units are safer.
Window AC units will let mosquitoes or other small bugs in. Sucks, but that's life.
Now is not the time to me modest. If you have to cover for religious reasons, by all means. If you don't, I've seen people wear short shorts and a swim top. It's not trashy if it keeps you from getting heat stroke.
If you do have to cover up for religious reasons, look for elephant pants or something similar. They're made with a breathable material.
Shade is better than no shade, but that shit it just diet sun after some point. Don't think shade will save you from heat stroke.
I know the "drink your water" is a fun meme now, but if you're sweating excessively you need electrolytes. Drink Gatorade, Powerade, or Pedialite PLEASE. I don't care if you're fucking sitting in one spot all day. That shit WILL save you from heat stroke.
Most importantly. RESEARCH THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN HEAT STROKE AND HEAT EXHAUSTION PLEASE!
If you're diabetic and can't drink Gatorade, mix water, fruit juice, and either lite salt or pink salt
If you can afford it, cover windows with thick curtains to insulate the house
If you have tile floors, lay on them with skin to tile contact. If you don't, laying your head on cool counters works too.
If the temperature where you're at is hotter than your body temperature, don't wear heat wicking clothing. Moisture wicking is safe though.
Check your medication labels. Many make you more susceptible to sun and heat
-Room temperature water will get into your body faster. This is something I learned doing marching band in high summer in Georgia, and it saved all of our asses. Sip it, don't gulp it, especially if you're getting into the red; same goes for whatever fluid you're drinking. And just in general drink during the day.
-If you are moving from an air conditioned space to an un-air conditioned space, if at all possible try to make the shift gradual. When my dad and I were working outside and in un-ac houses a few years ago, he'd turn the air down to low in the truck about ten-fifteen minutes before we got where we were going. This way your body doesn't go from low low temps to high temps. S'bad for you.
-If you can, keep your lights off during the day. Light bulbs may not generate a lot of heat, but the difference is noticeable when it gets hot enough. I literally only turn my bedroom light on in the evening when it gets too dark.
Don't be afraid to just like... pour water on yourself if you need to. The evaporation will cool you off.
Put your hand to the cement for 15 seconds. If you can't handle the heat, it'll burn your dog's paws. Don't let them walk on it.
Dogs with flat faces are more prone to heat stroke. Don't leave them out unsupervised.
Frozen fruit is delicious in water.
Wet/Cold hat/handkerchief on your head/neck will help you stay cool.
Pickle juice is great for electrolytes! You can even make pickle juice Popsicles!
Heat exhaustion is more, "drink water and get you cooled off." Heat stroke is more "Oh my god call 911."
Image Description provided by @loveize
[Image description: an infographic showing the difference between heat exhaustion and heat stroke. The graphic is labeled "Heat Dangers: First Warning." Signs of heat exhaustion: faint or dizzy, excessive sweating, cool, pale, clammy skin, rapid, weak pulse, muscle cramps. If you think you or someone else may be experiencing heat exhaustion, get to a cool, air-conditioned place, drink water if conscious, and take a cool shower or use cold compress. Signs of heat stroke: throbbing headache, no sweating, red, hot, dry skin, rapid, strong pulse, may lose consciousness. If you think you or someone else may be experiencing heat stroke, call 911.

Be safe.

So, I'm looking into the whole Tumblr discrimination suit thing.
They settled with the CCHR in 2022 because, at the time, they were headquartered there, I believe, but that's no longer the case. Automattic Inc., and by extension, Tumblr, are headquartered now at 60 29th Street #343 San Francisco, CA 94110
So I believe we'd want to get in touch with the human rights commission in san fransisco instead. I don't know fuckall about this kind of legal thing though, so someone who either knows more or is better at research should figure out if it's worthwhile to bring this to the CCHR given that All This Shit is a pretty overt violation of the terms of their settlement with them, even if they are now headquartered elsewhere.
