I love my mama. She is the reason I am today, as cliche as it is to say that.
And I just say her cry about an hour ago because for the 4th years in a row, we’re going to have absolutely nothing for Christmas.
We’re behind a carpayment, rent is due in three days, car insurance is due, and everything is a mess with a recently repaired car window that really debted us down.
My Goal:
+ Raise at least $1000 USD to give my mama a nice Christmas/have us not struggling as much financially.
Donations:
paypal.me/mscott082
I want to give this to her for Christmas. I never thought I’d see my mother cry because we don’t have a Christmas tree. I want to be able to give her that. If nothing else, I’d be happy with a hundred bucks just to buy her a nice tree.
I know there’s a lot of people worse off in the Fanders/Famders and the Star Wars communities, but if my friends in the two communities could reblog this (please, reblog, ‘likes’ just don’t do anything) I’d appreciate it the world. You don’t even have to donate! Just please, if you see this? Reblog it. That’s all I ask.
Love, Mary/msu82
December 4th – UPDATE:
$35.50/$1000 USD
I know it probably seems stupid to celebrate raising that much in two days of a rather large goal, but to be honest I wasn’t even expecting anyone to even donate when I first made this.
And I hate to add on to ‘my sob story’ but uh… Rent is due tomorrow, and we’re going to only have $5 to our name after that is paid. Gas-money help and grocery money help would be greatly appreciated.
So please, keep reblogging! Get this around? Getting it traction is what helps, and don’t donate yourself if it’ll put you in a financial pinch of your own. I’d hate for that to happen!
those of yall doing sex work who post pictures of yourself on tumblr: MAKE SURE to put a notice in your description that all photos you upload are of YOU and are CONSENTUAL unless stated otherwise, especially after dec 17th!
this will seriously help resolve any legal conflicts with tumblr’s flagging system! it’s the same reason why many people who upload to youtube claim they own nothing on their videos.
(Also who do I credit cause that comic isn’t mine and I forgot where it came from. Unless I’m an idiot and there are watermarks on it that I don’t see)
Sounds drastic. Especially for content creators who may still need Tumblr for commissions while they find an alternative.
If you can swing it, here’s why:
I suspect that the December 17th deadline is so that Verizon/Yahoo can clean house and make Tumblr appealing to investors. This is a Q4/Q1 fire sale kind of thing. It makes a certain amount of business sense to make this change. Human-lead content curation (e.g. separating the CP from the legit) is expensive and time-consuming. I doubt they have the money for it. They already sold off Flickr. As a long-time Flickr pro user, I’m not pleased by the change and increase in pro account price, but I get it.
Investors are looking for a user base. User base is a prime attraction for investment or buy-out for a social media platform or application (I speak from experience as a co-founder of Rhinobird.tv).
Every account that is cancelled will be one less account in Tumblr’s user base for their pitch. I assume that there are millions of accounts with some percentage simply being abandoned accounts that haven’t been used in years. So cancelling one’s account on the way out the door won’t really matter unless the number of cancelled accounts reaches several hundred thousand at least.
If you decide to leave and cancel, then I also recommend sending a polite message to Tumblr staff, or tweet to the account about why you are leaving.
Finally, using Twitter to voice your concerns and thoughts about this issue will increase its visibility. They ain’t gonna like that. Media outlets that cater to tech entrepreneurs, and Silicon Valley types are going to be all over this.
I never ask for reblogs, but I will this one time.
(mind you some of these are like actually for dogs, so stretch ur imagination with me for a sec okay?)
