hey friends!! if you get a message similar to this one—about someone talking shit on a blog called exposingthelosers.tumblr—IGNORE IT!!!

it’s spam

the link takes you to a pretty convincing tumblr login page……but it’s fake. the url isn’t tumblr’s main but rather that blog. so don’t put in your information, just block and/or ignore

I just received a message exactly like this. Word by word but from a different user. Glad I didn’t clicked on the link. I always get cautious about these stuff since it could be a vírus u.u

Daily reminder that “Missing Person” posts are a common and often effective method that abusers use to find their victims that have run away from them. Also used to find people in the witness protection program.  

If you see a “missing person” post with a number that is not just 911 on it, be very wary. And if you do see someone who is supposedly missing, call the police, NOT the number provided on the post. I trust the police as little as anyone but they’ll at least be able to tell you if that person is actually missing and it has less of a chance of giving information to a possible abuser. 

A couple of red flags I’ve noticed:

  • Abusers claiming their victims are mentally ill or schizophrenic, to explain why they might not want to come back
  • Abusers giving any excuse to explain why their victims may not come back really
  • Abusers telling you not to approach their victims if you see them, or limit your communication with them
  • Abusers telling you not to mention them to their victims at all
  • Abusers claiming that their victims aren’t safe with their family or friends
  • Abusers claiming their victims are being threatened away from them

(Feel free to add on)

Add-ons to the list of red flags from my mother, a psychologist who has worked with victims of domestic abuse:

  • Abusers claiming their victim has a history of self-harm that leaves bruises is always a red flag (except in the case of autistic children, but even then, call 911, not the abuser)
  • Abusers claiming their (POC) victim doesn’t understand English and so you shouldn’t try to communicate with them/trust anything they say is not uncommon for human traffickers
  • Abusers claiming their victim has a history of making things up for attention or to get their way, tacitly implying you shouldn’t listen to them when they express fear or disclose their abusive situation to you
  • Posters lacking a last name are inherently not to be trusted. The lack of a surname is there to keep you from looking the person up in other databases and finding out they’ve been listed as missing by their family/the police.
  • Posters that put any character smears – mental illness, drug use, etc. – out about the victim are trying to make you predisposed to not communicating with or trusting the victim so you won’t believe anything they say. Treat this as a flashing neon red flag and call the police.

My mother would also like to note that taking a picture of the poster or tearing it down and turning it in to police can be very useful to them when they’re trying to build cases against abusers so if that’s at all possible for you, by all means do it.

As someone who’s always had foster brothers and sisters, this is not only true for adults, but absolutely true for children as well. Sometimes kids are put into ‘secret placement’ in foster care to protect the child and the foster family they’re placed with. We’ve legit had parents find out where we live and turn up on our doorstep with guns. We’ve also had parents simply turn up at school, pick up their kids and flee the country.

If you work in the education system, or some other system that deals with information, be very aware of who you give information to. Are you on the phone? Don’t give out any information unless you can prove with 100% certainty that this person is who they say they are. Even if they are the parent, make sure they’re also the legal guardian. Even if they have a sad story about how they’re never allowed to see the kids through no fault of their own, even if it’s true, don’t give out information. Those rules are there for a reason and that reason is to protect kids from their abusers. This seems ridiculous and tedious and bureaucratic and in most cases it is, but for the sake of that 1 in 10.000th case that it’s true, please be careful.

Red flags:

– Parents who don’t know their child’s address or phone number

– Parents who make degrading remarks about their child’s primary care giver

– Parents who make degrading remarks about their child

– Parents who are looking for more than one of their kids

– Parents who are demanding access to their kid’s email account

– The child is in foster care or lives in a halfway house or similar institution

– The parent paints themselves as a victim.

Yes, not all foster care placement is handled correctly and sometimes mistakes are made, but that decision is not up to you. You don’t know all the facts. Many abusers, parents or otherwise, are clever, charismatic, manipulative assholes that get off on power trips but can come off as completely normal and trustworthy. Far more so than their victims.

Please help protect those victims.

8. The air quality is still super bad so wear a mask if going outside, don’t overexhert yourself, and keep animals inside as much as possible. If you’re having trouble breathing, they probably are too especially smaller animals like dogs and cats

9. This is Paradise, CA in relation to the fire if anyone was wondering. Basically right in the middle of everything.

10. The town of Paradise has been destroyed that much I can say, and it’s devastating. PLEASE SHARE THIS BECAUSE AN ENTIRE TOWN WAS JUST WIPED OFF THE FACE OF THE MAP AND NOT ENOUGH PEOPLE KNOW ABOUT IT

Here’s some of my own pictures that I took the other day of the sky. It was Day 2 of the fire and it looked like the apocalypse if I’m being honest. The first two pictures were taken at 11:17 AM but it looks like it could be anywhere from 5:00 PM to 6:00 PM (also that’s nothing in the sky on picture 2 I think it’s just a reflection on my camera lens). The last picture was taken around 6:30 PM to 7:00 PM and I know the picture itself isn’t that good but you can clearly see all of the thick smoke in the air.

Latinoamérica de mi corazón, cuándo vas a ser la tierra con la que sueña tu gente?

if you’re brazilian and LGBT i can help you move to Argentina. its not the best, but its what i can do

everyone share this around for brazilian lgbt people who want to become a refugee in argentina. tell them to contact me (love#3592 on discord) if they need more information.

TO MOVE TO ARGENTINA SAY A MEMBER OF ZONA LA PLATA SENT YOU THIS INFO TO BECOME A REFUGEE

Heey, this is sweet, but you don’t need to become a refugee to live legally in Argentina if you’re Brazilian! It’s the easiest country to move to for Brazilians and the whole process to obtain a DNI (the Argentinian national identity) takes 90 days and you get a 2 year visa, which you can later turn into a permanent residency visa without much trouble. It’s very affordable, we don’t even need to translate the documents thanks to a bilateral agreement and you don’t have to prove you have a job lined up for you or anything. Unless Brazil leaves the Mercosur, there’s no need to go so far as to ask for refuge if you choose Argentina as your destination.

thank you so much for your addition! reblog this please

I’m having a f**king panic attack right now because of a f**king screamer…hey, MostAmazingTop10, get your sh*t straight and never do that again…because you just have an unexpecting, anxiety ridden teen who has nightmares a lot a d*mn panic attack…I hope you’re proud of yourselves…

If any of you see this video, do NOT click on it…you’ll get jumpscared almost immediately…I learned the hard way…I’m crying and shaking and sweating…due to that f**king video…I hope you’re happy you stupid f**king YouTube channel…because you just scarred someone for the rest of her f**king life…

Holy shit guys, this is so fucking legit.

For people with anxiety, here’s the details. When you open the video, you’re greeted with a generic flower field, and a decently animated butterfly.

The butterfly hovers in place for about 3 seconds, before cutting to the actual jump scare. And this one is LOUD. If you have your earbuds in, and your volume fairly low, it will still legit hurt your ears. It’s a full-blow scream.

Please be careful out there guys, there’s been a ridiculous amount of jumpscares lately, even for the spoopy season. 😦

Thank you so much for this addon, I really appreciate it, it makes me glad that someone reblogged this and added details

@ppl who are getting top surgery

cornerof5thandvermouth:

disgruntledbyeverything:

I’m not going to make a long masterpost of dos and don’ts about post-op care for top surgery, there’s plenty of those, but I will say this:

BUY LIQUID VITAMIN E.

it’s not that expensive, you can find it bottled in the beauty department or in capsules by the vitamins.

What does it do? It softens your skin. After surgery, your skin is pulled extremely tight, painfully so, even a week after I couldn’t raise my arms very high because it pulled at the incisions. It prevents stretch marks, softens your skin, and helps reduce scarring

I finally got some today and it was instant relief, it’s just a thick oil and you can put on drops or puncture capsules to cover your skin in it, this is the most pain-free I’ve been since before the surgery

So just, if you’re getting that (or really any surgery that’ll result in really tight stitches or incisions), get some vitamin E

And keep using it for months after surgery- it helps with softening and fading scars!

If you are 18+ and LGBT, GET OUT AND VOTE ON NOVEMBER 6TH. TRANSGENDER RIGHTS ARE IN DANGER.

The Trump Administration is planning to change the legal definition of sex to- “male or female, unchangeable, Unless by genetic testing.” Aka, trans people would be completely erased. They would have no rights towards discrimination, changing their gender, or even presenting as trans in general. If you aren’t planning to vote or you’re on the fence, PLEASE, for the love of god, get out and vote. We have to protect our community.
