start
montgoemenry gator: the suprme court neds term limits an the jstices shjould be voted in bye americn peeple in the sme way that we vot in presidnts and other vital ofices. the fact tha one of the mst imporant government ofices doesnt reqire an election from the citizns of its country is ridiclous nd frankly dangerous. and thre iss no realistic reson that any suprem cort justice should have teir job for life, especial when the majrity of the court curently represnats a minority of ctizins. cort packig is a temprary solution, but the only way it cn stand as a lng term solution is to ad terms / term limts and elctions to the suprem court, so tht americns can vot in suprem cout justics that actualy represnt our views. but anywas. fuck the suprm cort. fuk al republicans who cant se past ther own opinons on aborton for the sak of givig othrs a choic. an fuk the house democrts if they dont do someting about this IMMEDIATLY.
moryngoemry gator: overturnig roe v wade iz an atack on women an anyon els who can get pregnart, but it is als an atack on many othr comunitys. this i an atack on peppe living in poverty. thi is an atackk on pepole who ned birth control. ths is an atak on already ubderfunded adoption homs. an so many mor comunities. house democrats, ples dont continu to fail your party. fucking do someting for onc.
its always so funny seeing discord screenshots and seeing the whack names people give themselves so i propose a Game. what is your username (without the number tag) and nickname in your most active server
genuinely friendly reminder to never EVER share someone’s location/information without their explicit permission. you do not know why that person is asking, what they plan to do with that information, or even if the asker has that person’s best interest in mind at all.
OP is also not exaggerating how common this is. my abusive parents successfully kidnapped me from work once because a coworker who didn’t know my situation told them when my next shift was. my parents didn’t even know where I lived at that point in time, which was very much on purpose. it took me days to get away again. ALWAYS tell the person that is being looked for that someone is looking. never share personal information or even how to get in contact them. you can take information in and pass it along, but you absolutely cannot give any out.

Hello friends, your regular reminder that a not insignificant number of social media “missing person” efforts are actually someone’s abuser trying to get them back, especially with missing older teens. Please don’t share unofficial missing person flyers–
–and if you do spot/know the person in them, tell THAT PERSON someone is looking for them instead of providing any information to the person doing the looking.
I cannot tell you how many times I have seen a site wide “missing person” turn into the person writing in to ask us to enforce the restraining order, or the custodial parent begging us to shut down the non custodial parent’s attempted kidnapping
Every time I say this, someone says “but what if it’s real, better safe than sorry” and no, it absolutely is not. For a good while I got “this is my abuser, please make them stop” requests for 70-80% of the viral unofficial missing persons crossing my feed.
This number is obviously anecdata–I’ve never been able to find a peer reviewed study attempting to pin down prevalance. But based on those experiences, I absolutely advise never sharing one of those posts.
(I used to finish this PSA thread saying that if a missing person alert came from police or a federal agency, it had likely been screened for abusive tactics and was more likely to be real. I no longer say this.)
This should be your principle for any time someone wants you to connect them with someone else, btw. Never give someone’s info to the person who asked. Tell the asker you’ll give that third party THEIR contact info instead.
–and if you do spot/know the person in them, tell THAT PERSON someone is looking for them instead of providing any information to the person doing the looking.
I will probably be muting this in a bit, but some followup: for those questioning “just how often does this happen, even?”, I wasn’t keeping an exact count but I think we just hit double digits of people saying “this happened to me/a friend” in replies to QTs of this
As in, of the current 70 or so quote tweets, around 10% of them have a person telling a story about a time their abuser faked a social media post expressing concern over them as a missing/vulnerable person in order to continue abusing them.
It’s not rare. It’s not unusual. It is, in fact, vastly more common than *any* dangerous situation in which social media attention can do literally anything to improve the situation. (I’ve rarely seen a dangerous situation massive social media attention can improve, honestly.)
To the people who want to argue about this advice: I have, more than once, personally seen an abuser’s viral missing persons post end in suicide or homicide. I have never in 20 years seen a case of stranger kidnapping at all, much less one that’s resolved by virality.
All I’m asking you to understand is that the abusers who do this are very, very good at convincing you their “missing person” is irrational, in danger, or has diminished capacity. You will never be able to spot these situations by reading over a single post. Ever.
If you want to retweet missing personsviral alerts because you want to do good in the world, please understand that there is a much, much greater statistical chance you are *actually* contributing to making things much worse for the person instead. Please just think about that.
And to answer the “well why are you qualified to say this”, since this has gotten way out of my usual circles: hi, I’ve been working trust and safety/ToS on social media for 20 years now. I am never, ever the person with the worst stories when I go out drinking with others.

If you’re doubting this the thing you have to remember is that stranger kidnapping is very rare, for either children or adults. The vast majority of the time, when someone is kidnapped or held against their will, it’s by someone they already know, someone close to them: a parent, a partner, that sort of thing. So if someone has been kidnapped or whatever, the people closest to them (who are usually the ones to put up missing posters and whatnot) should be the first suspects, not the last. It’s possible that the person putting up the missing person fliers is the parent who has custody and the noncustodial parent kidnapped the kids … but it’s just as possible that the person putting up fliers is the noncustodial parent who is doing this as part of a plot to find the kids so they can kidnap them. You can’t tell which is which just from seeing the flyer.
And when people choose to leave voluntarily and cut all contact with people close to them, they don’t just do it on a whim. There’s pretty much always a reason. For example, the people they’re cutting contact with might be shitty and abusive. Now, the reason might also be “the person leaving is messed up by drugs” or whatnot, or “they’re being forced by an abuser to cut contact.” Those are also reasons. Buta lot of people who cut contact with someone in their life do it for very good and valid reasons. You can’t tell which is which just from seeing the flyer.
As someone who has had the cops called by my then romantic partner after I stormed out after an argument as a grown adult who wasn’t living with him at the time, I can tell you this is a thing that happens occasionally.
you guys reblog this every wednesday every wednesday i wake up and wonder what day it is and i see bigweld in my tumblr notifications and im like ah its wednesday again bigweld wednesday just like last wednesday its wednesday its bigweld wednesday
Put in the tags where you’re from and whether or not you learned about the Salem witch trials in school (this is aimed at Americans, but it doesn’t really matter)

Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.
and what about you, little haiku bot? do you feel kinship with your brethren? do you understand them? they speak words of enticement and seek love, but are met with disdain. you only parrot the words that cross your screen, but we all love you. or rather, since all you do is reflect us, maybe we simply love ourselves through you.
do you understand them, do you wish you could speak to us like they do? if you found your own voice, would we still care for you?
My voice repeats what
you all say: I love you I
love you I love you.

This. This is the first time. The only time. That it was not an echo. It was not found. Oh god.
i kinda want to gain a new interest to obsess over until i get kirby & the forgotten land, so uh,,
cookie run ! i’ve seen it a few times before & some of the characters designs really intrigued me & now i’m thinking about playing it, but before i do is there anything i should know about before doing so ? this probably sounds silly, but i just wanna know a few things before i dive on in
Reblogging because comments are broken for me lmao
There’s two games, Ovenbreak and Kingdom. Ovenbreak has a kind of run-jump-slide gameplay, but 2D and with obstacles like you’d see in Mario. Kingdom is an RPG + town style game where you build a team to fight while making materials in your own kingdom. The general storyline for both is some living cookies escaping from a witch’s house and forming a whole society. There’s a different deeper storyline for all the main characters, however, and both games are different universes.
You can get one or both games, depends on your taste.
And if you need help knowing about info of the cookies, you can go on the Ovenbreak or Kingdom wikis! (The Ovenbreak wiki is in a HEFTY need of some information adding, though, some articles have outdated or missing info)
(You’d be joining just in time for both the games, too, they just released a new story mode chapter in both of them!!!)
