Cannot donate but spreading the word to help
My little brother has brain cancer
We found out in 2016:
see that little dot piece of shit, that’s the cancer that has been destroying his life,
he has $4k of medical expenses medicaid wont cover because the government would rather let poor people fucking die than actually give a shit.
If you want to help my little brother with his medical expenses so he can get some important work done
you can donate here:

Happy Birthday, Moon Taeil! ♡

“When I say, “abolish the police,” I’m usually asked what I would have us replace them with. My answer is always full social, economic, and political equality, but that’s not what’s actually being asked. What people mean is “who is going to protect us?” Who protects us now? If you’re white and well-off, perhaps the police protect you. The rest of us, not so much. What use do I have for an institution that routinely kills people who look like me, and make it so I’m afraid to walk out of my home? My honest answer is that I don’t know what a world without police looks like. I only know there will be less dead black people. I know that a world without police is a world with one less institution dedicated to the maintenance of white supremacy and inequality. It’s a world worth imagining.”

It’s something I’ve noticed over the past two years of using this site. It was gradual, imperceptible at first, something that most would brush off as a silly concern, or fault Tumblr algorithm for. While it’s true that Tumblr’s engine leaves a lot to be desired, I’ve noticed that even popular blogs have started to dwindle in terms of interaction or motivation. There could be a lot of reasons for this, but the biggest two I’ve noticed, experienced myself, and asked fellow writers about is this: (1) content being stolen, and (2) lack of feedback or interaction. I’ve never seen any logical person defend content being stolen, so I want to address point 2 instead.
Lack of feedback and interaction. I’m not saying this on my behalf so much as I’m saying this for friends and smaller blogs who have lost motivation to write. I was looking at my yandere writing blogs list the other day and noticed that a good majority of them no longer write. I usually update the list every few months, and by that point, more and more writers have stopped writing entirely. This isn’t a problem confined solely to the yandere fandom; in fact, there’s less writing blogs in general these days, especially ones that are active. I used to run a very popular BNHA blog with some friends, but that dissolved after our content was stolen and our followers stopped interacting as much. Out of our 8,500 followers, we hardly got 0.015% notes (~128 notes) on an average post. Tumblr is to blame for the lack of eyes seeing our posts, for sure, but that also means that at least 128 people saw one post and didn’t leave a comment or ask. We were considered a big blog; imagine what it’s like on a small blog.
My friend recently made a post that summed this up perfectly:
“I’ve seen people say “Be grateful that people even lurk on your page.” and, while I get the message they’re trying to say, it’s more dismissive and hurtful in my opinion. Like you’re saying, “Oh your writing is mediocre, you should be grateful people even LOOK at it.”
Me personally? I’ve heard the argument that AO3 is a better place to post fanfics, and while that might be true, I’ve had friends experience firsthand the lack of interaction there too. I’ve heard the argument that interacting with some writers is intimidating (me included). I’ve heard that argument that followers might be too shy to interact. I’ve heard the argument that writers should write for themselves and not for views / likes / reblogs / etc, and while that’s ideal, it’s not sustainable for everyone. What works for one writer won’t work for another, but you know what will? Interaction.
That comment or ask that took you 2 seconds to write? We remember it. That reblog with the compliments in the tags? We remember it. Every single ‘named’ anon we get (heart anon, sunflower anon, etc)? We remember them. And the best part is? It’s actually easier to do these things on Tumblr since you have the option to send anonymous asks or make a sideblog specifically for reblogs! Trust me, whether the lack of interaction is the cause of a lack of motivation or what have you, every writer appreciates feedback (don’t be shy to offer some critique or compliments) or even a simple keyboard smash with some emojis. Even sitting down for 5 min a day per week to comment on your favorite writers’ new pieces makes a huge difference. Personally, since Tumblr’s activity feed is beyond terrible and I have over 1,500 posts, I don’t always see new reblogs or comments on my content; asks though? Always see those, can never go wrong with those. If you don’t want to reblog or leave a comment, then you can never go wrong with an anonymous ask.
As my wise friend says: writing is an art, and in order to improve that art, we need other people’s eyes to see what we don’t.
For the sake of every writer (past, present, and future) on this platform, please share this post.
I know no one wants to hear it but some of you have to tone it down when it comes to guilt tripping people into voting/streaming for your faves, the only thing you're accomplishing is making people NOT want to vote
I understand when you ask in a nice way, I truly do and certainly it makes me think 'well it doesnt take that much time to vote on this app so I'll so it' but I'm so freaking tired of reading things like 'x group is probably REALLY disappointed in all of us for not voting when it was just a small portion of the fandom who was too lazy to vote'
(also, I've only seen this very few times here in tumblr, I guess it's bc I dont follow that many groups, but it doesn't mean that people dont say these things here, and it also doesn't mean that just because people don't do that in this website, these things straight up don't exist)
seriously, stop. On a personal note, I worked really hard for voting during the wonderland promotion of ateez and even though they had no wins and i certainly felt a bit sad for them, it never crossed my mind to think that the rest of the fans were lazy or didn't support/love the boys enough.
There are MANY ways you can support a group you like and voting is just one of them. I know that music broadcast awards are important in Korea but it doesnt mean that us, as fans, have to prioritize them over other certain things (e.g: mental health, studying, working, sleeping, taking care of a family member, etc).
Let's make a collective effort to stop this ongoing trend of thinking that just because you start liking a group, "the norm" is that you have to go all out and 'prove' how big of a fan you are, how much you support them or how much you love them
Listening to their music alone is enough to be supportive of them, and any other things you may or may not do (buying albums, merch, concert tickets, lightsticks) are just a different, extra way to support them
Doesn’t matter of you reblogged this already but do it again
People, please be careful. There are also people tracking children and people and putting bids on them based on their profile pictures on whatsapp, tracking and kidnapping them. Especially young children, so please be cautious, especially parents who have their children as their profile pictures.
Please pass this on to everyone so that they are aware of the danger. I don’t how it is all around the world but I know it can’t just be here so please please spread the word. Thank you.
