Bubblegumskulls - Aristotle - Tumblr Blog

So I obviously don’t normally do this, but I have bills to pay for the hospital because I had a fall (co-pays not included lmao). I payed for most of it, but there’s still stuff I have to pay for. It’s a lot (around 150??) but I already had to pay for groceries this week, so I’m gonna feel real weak for a moment and ask for help for the first time in like four years.

If anyone can donate anything at all, my Venmo is the same as my tumblr name: bubblegumskulls

Obviously you do not have to do this, this is only if you can. I don’t want anyone feeling obligated to donate so please do not if you cannot.

If you could boost this, that’d be great.

Thank you,

Ari 💕

Please remember it’s not obligatory, and I hope everyone has a nice day.

If you’re a SFW content creator on OnlyFans and can move to a different platform then you should consider that in solidarity with all the sex workers who are being kicked off. OnlyFans built its platform and brand recognition off being a place for sex workers, and now that it’s banning adult content its profits should tank. It’s unacceptable that it’s screwing over so many people, hurting/erasing their income, and bowing to pressure from religious groups to hurt an already stigmatised group.

Hi I am black and I am here to share this important information on my platform and using the best way I can to help

Native Families are getting torn apart by the government already. But what Texas is trying to do instead of helping the native community with poverty, rebuilding, funding theses communities, educating all people in Texas about the crimes the US government made on Natives so people an understand and support.

They are fucking ruining families tearing them apart like did in the past and it is still happening now. Right now they are trying to remove the ACT that is mentioned in the video in order to legally kidnap Native(and many other minorities but this is precisely talking about natives in this section)children and force them into "good Christian homes"

Currently what Texas and other states is trying to do is kidnap/steal children legally.

But it doesn't mean it is legal doesn't mean it is morally right or okay or it is alright.

This is racism, this is disgusting behaviour.

Assuming they are trying to boost the adoption industry[because they are running out of babies] or on how they want to "preserve" whiteness aka white supremacy, due to the white population becoming the lesser in this country soon.

----

Not only effecting Natives but everyone is effected negatively if we allow this to happen. Because then this disgusting act of the government gets normalized which is happening right now.

Currently Child "protective" Services are taking children of other minorities too. Because the parent was "neglectful" or "bad" but in actually the parent could of have looked away for a bit too long.

Deadass a black women newborn baby died because of the careless of theses god awful people.

I am pro choice for this main reason, The CPS or adoption field is taking minorities kids. Instead of helping actual children who is getting abused, and the thing is it is not "small" like everyday when I scroll through my feed on tik tok

Alone there kids who is getting kicked out for standing up, or not wanting to stand the abuse of their step parent, or kids needing views in order to get money to live, or kids and now adults telling their story on how their own parent SA them.

It isn't like they are just saying it THESES KIDS ARE CRYING BEGGING FOR HELP. MEANWHILE

I heard non from CPS, I heard non from the FOSTER CARE/ADOPTION CENTERS.

But what I am seeing is them practically "asking" to take babies from people, hospitals, places where you normally see babies at.

It would of been a sweet act if they were to do this out of heart but they are not. The adoption industry makes a LOT of money seeing babies but currently right now many people are decideding to not have kids at all, or do safe sex, or preventing it.

So they been losing money, you might say

"it is still good of they are still helping" but they are not.

Someone mother asked for basic support or help to raise their baby. The person asked for diapers, instead of donating a little (because they already have a lot of money that they don't even use to support kids for the most part) or advising the parent on where to buy diapers, or how to get support.

They refuse her and to my knowledge asked to have her baby.

---

Foster care have a history of giving kids to abusive house holds and not handling well or caring if the "carer" is a good person. In fact many "carers" exploit kids like this to get money or abuse them.

In fact there's an true story about this on BUT TRU channel which he was a victim of a "carer"

---

The main reason I added this two sections to show you that theses guys don't give a fuck. Expressly about native children and what will happen if they lift this ACT it can do damage to Native communities all over the states.

We cannot allow this to happen or be tolerated.

Teach children consent. Ask them if you can hug them, kiss them, or otherwise touch them.

If they say “no”, respect it. Don’t take it personally. Quit forcing them to feel uncomfortable.

This will teach them that their body is theirs, and that no one has a right to it. It will teach them to have boundaries and a voice.

It will also teach them to respect other people’s “no”.

Normalize consent for everything, not just sexual things.

"its okay that person does [weird thing] because they have [condition]" no its okay that they do the weird thing because its not hurting anyone and sometimes people just do things you might think are weird and it doesn't have to be explained

i am not joking we need to force teach cooking in schools. like. it is an essential thing for survival. do you know how easy it is to make things if you know even the bare bones shit about how cooking works. we need to teach teenagers how far you can take an onion and some other veggies it''s sad that people grow up not knowing how to prepare literally anything. and i'm not talking about oh this home ed class taught me how to make chicken nuggets at home i'm talking about learning the balancing of sweetness and acidity and saltiness and bitterness and shit like that and techniques and oil temperatures and how meats cook. it needs to be taught because it's literally not even that difficult and it matters so much

hey if you’re disabled or chronically ill & have a hard time standing i want you to know that it’s ok to sit down when able bodied people wouldn’t or aren’t. not just in the context of using a wheelchair but just like. whenever. pull up a stool in front of the stove when you make mac & cheese. kneel on a chair in front of the sink when you’re washing the dishes. going outside to smoke/wait for a cab/whatever? pop a squat on the sidewalk/curb/stoop. get a shower chair. it’s not weird or shameful to minimize your pain & it’s not worth wasting spoons just because “normal people would do it standing up”

Hold on, I’m gonna post some comfort links that I have bookmarked cause y’all also deserve happiness.

Transgender Day of Visibility.

gentle reminders:

🌷 sometimes, being kind to yourself is to study instead of procrastinating, even if it makes you feel uncomfortable - when the exams and deadlines approach, your anxiety won’t be so bad.

🌸 sometimes, being kind to yourself is to log off everything, stop looking for the rush of validation - at the end of the day, you can’t fill an empty mood with more emptiness.

✨ sometimes, being kind to yourself is to make yourself uncomfortable for a while. to get rid of habits that initially comfort you, but ultimately make you feel worse. all habits are uncomfortable to stop, but the rewards will be so satisfying, and so worth it !!

:))

hey since I just told a friend this and they found it helpful: if you’re having hallucinations and are having trouble distinguishing what’s real and what’s not, use your phone’s camera and take a picture of the thing you might be hallucinating. cameras don’t hallucinate.

If you’re celebrating Biden’s win, consider celebrating by donating to a bail fund, planned parenthood, or the Navajo Water project.

Your action to help the marginalized shouldnt end at presidential candidates and voting.

actually you will not enjoy hearing this but you literally have to abandon your self deprecating humor. besides the fact that it can drive people away you literally are only hurting yourself by constantly making jokes that further cement the idea in your head that you are not good enough. I do not care that you think its a good coping mechanism it is absolutely not and you need to start challenging negative thoughts instead of feeding into them.

Okay guys I’m just gonna say this, if you get mentioned in any of these Ray Ban charity event posts. DO NOT CLICK ON IT. It is a phishing website. DO not click on it unless you have the correct add blockers and safety precautions. I’ve gotten mentioned in at least 20 of these at this point, and a lot of them are from people I follow. That is because they have been hacked. They clicked on this link and their account was hacked. Please don’t click on this. I’m just bringing some more awareness to this.

I'd care if the person I reblogged this from committed suicide.

Reblog this from anybody. literally. ANYBODY. even if you dont like them or even know them that well. YOU COULD SAVE THEIR LIFE.

Using someone’s correct pronouns is basic human decency.

Yes even if they’re an exclusionist. I know, it’s shitty.

Yes even if they’re a transmed. I know, it’s shitty.

Yes even if they’re a TERF. I know, it’s shitty.

Because you wouldn’t intentionally misgender a cis exclusionist, you wouldn’t intentionally misgender a cis transmed also known as a transphobe, and you wouldn’t misgender a cis TERF.

There are terrible awful SHITTY people. But you can’t treat them less because they’re trans. You can’t only use correct pronouns for “the good” trans people. Recycled transphobia ringing a bell, anyone?

Using. Correct. Pronouns. Is. Basic. Human. Decency.

Another moodboard!!!!!

gentle reminder: you’re not weak for feeling unable to cope with something. you’re not weak for being overwhelmed. you’re not weak for needing extra time. we usually don’t show these emotions to others so it’s hard to see, but you’re not alone in feeling the way you do. we can get better together.
