For those of you who follow me you probably know I got a puppy recently who I named Honeydew (this is her the day I brought her home)
(And this is a picture of her from yesterday)
I got Honeydew to be my ESA (emotional support animal) after encouragement from my therapists, psychiatrist, and family due to the fact that I have had issues with mental illness and behavioral problems since I was 6 years old (I am now 18) and animals give me a lot of relief from the symptoms and stress caused by this. When I brought her home everything was going great, I had a healthy, active, and happy puppy, that is until this Wednesday morning when I woke up to her being lethargic, vomiting, and refusing to eat. I took her to the vet, and she was a healthy weight and even a bit large for her age, she was alert albeit still lethargic and the vet told me it’s probably parasites/worms or it could be parvovirus (a very very very serious and fatal virus for puppies) but she was optimistic that Honeydew was just suffering from an upset stomach due to worms/parasites and gave her deworming medication but told me to get in touch with her immediately if her symptoms worsened. The next day Honeydew was back to her normal self, she was active, eating, and playful (though she still had some diarrhea) and because of that I let my guard down assuming the issue was resolved. I was wrong.Yesterday morning(friday) I woke up and went to check on her only to be greeted by clear vomit and diarrhea everywhere. She was again refusing to eat but not too lethargic, regardless I called the vet and made her an appt for their soonest availability, cleaned everything, and went to school for a few hours. When I got home I went straight to check on her and she hadn’t pooped or vomited so I was hopeful it had subsided, I, again, was wrong. After about 10 minutes I noticed how skinny she looked, as if she hadn’t eaten in weeks (I encouraged her to eat but she refused so I have made attempts to feed her I didn’t just leave her like that lol) and not even 5 minutes later she vomited blood three times in less than 10 minutes. I immediately called my vet who told us to call the ER who told us to come in ASAP so less than 25 minutes later we arrived and were rushed into an examination room. Honeydew was extremely dehydrated, and tested positive for parvovirus which the ER vet called lovingly referred to as “Ebola for puppies”.
I had the choice of having her hospitalized so she could have around the clock care which would have costed me well over $2,000 or I could try to take care of her at home for a (somewhat) more affordable price. I had no choice but to treat her out-patient since I have no way of funding her hospitalization which dropped her chances of survival from 80-90% to about 65% IF my care for her is PERFECT with absolutely 0 mistakes. The thing is I cannot afford her treatment at all, I’m a full-time college student working night shifts part-time and had been relying fairly heavily on my savings for the past 2 months due to my hours at work being cut down by more than half. She needs frequent vet visits to survive this and I absolutely can’t afford this. I had money saved for her standard vet visit where she would get vaccinated etc. but I never expected anything like this to happen. The ER visit cost me $420 that I don’t have and she’ll need to see the vet multiple times over the next 1-3 weeks which will probably put me out another $300-400+ that I don’t have.
I wouldn’t do this unless it was a last resort which it unfortunately is. She wants to live so so so so bad even the vet said that the fact she responded and tried to struggle against being poked with all those shots they gave her was a good sign. Watching as she struggles to raise her head, struggles to drink water and watching her try to walk and almost being unable to breaks my heart in a way I can’t explain. How she went from a happy go lucky baby girl to a fur covered skeleton in 24 hours absolutely baffles and devastates me. I’m doing my absolute best to be on top of her medications and giving her subcutaneous fluids but if I can’t afford to continue her treatment there is a very very good chance she will die.
PLEASE ASK YOUR MUTUALS FOR THEIR SOCIAL MEDIAS!!!!!!!
it’s POSSIBLE that tumblr could be getting shut down, I’m not sure if it’s true or not but with Apple deleting the tumblr app from the app store it’s better to be safe than sorry. Also a lot of blogs are getting deleted by mistake with the bot purge too.
if you want to ensure you can stay in touch with any friends you’ve made here, be sure to ask them what other social media sites they use! I’m not trying to cause a panic or anything but there’s no harm in messaging your mutuals to ask them! Also check their blog descriptions they usually have links in them!
by the way if you want to follow me anywhere I have an instagram, discord, youtube, and more here in this link!
friendship is really really awesome and I’ve made a lot of friends on this site so I want to make sure I can keep in touch! This is all just precautionary so please don’t stress, let’s all hope tumblr doesn’t go anywhere!!
On and around November 13 and 14, tumblr started deleting people’s accounts as well as taking people’s urls – most of them being canon fandom-related urls as seen in the list below.
The following users had their urls stripped away from them on November 14, and were given placeholder urls like blog0294324.
every person on the above list got their urls LEGITIMATELY, they were NOT sold, nor traded, nor bought. They were GIVEN to them fair and square (or they were lucky enough to save them). [[I PERSONALLY can vouch that I saved the url civilwars in 2016 and GAVE IT TO the person who previously had it about a month ago. There was NOTHING against the Terms of Service with the way that url was acquired.]]
[On November 13, I, tumblr user marvel (currently marvelterminated), was accused of selling urls, and had my entire account terminated wrongfully. I don’t think it was a coincidence that less than a day after my account was terminated, many of my friends had their urls taken away from them.]
Also, these are not isolated incidents. There are also reports of people saving a url, and then tumblr emailing them after TAKING THEIR URL AWAY saying they were “in the process of releasing the url for another user when you grabbed it” which is just wrong. This happened to tumblr user wanda, who changed her url to “bucky” and then very shortly afterward had it taken away from her. Tumblr user ralts had saved “entertainment” in this way and also had it taken from her.
Tumblr: you can fix this and do what’s right. You have the power to stop further damage. Why would you want to punish your dedicated userbase, instead of the actual evils that plague your site? So hundreds of thousands of porn bots are okay, but fandom blogs aren’t? This isn’t a small issue. This needs to be fixed and remedied. We will not be quiet about this. This is WRONG.
Let me reiterate: we will NOT be silent about this. This is gross misuse of power. We politely, yet persistently ask that you REINSTATE our blogs and our URLs.
tumblr is voiding canon urls, and going after people who have them, apparently. i use a monitoring tools to monitor graveyard urls that i’d like to save (it sends you an email when something changes on the webpage, for example when it gets deleted). i still had an old alert on the bucky url, which, i knew who had that saved as a sideblog – suddenly it got a ‘not found’ error but was unsaveable.
tumblr is once again punishing its active users. my sideblog barnes (my previous url) had the exact same thing happen. here’s the email i got:
let’s get one thing straight: i got this url, and barnes, fair and square. i asked for them, and they were given to me. i didn’t even trade or buy, which is against community guidelines. i broke no rules to get these urls, and now my two fav urls that i had and was planning on using literally forever (like, until i decided to leave the platform, at which point i was planning on simply giving them away to people who would actually use them), and now i’m blog294732.
Embroidered pictures my dead grandmother made for me, along with other little sentimental things
Most of my winter clothes, including my snow boots and parka
My Singer sewing machine
A fucking bunch of craft and sewing supplies, including projects I was working on
Porn costumes I’d made
A good deal of dishes
Somehow most of my socks and underwear got left in there
Books
Jewelry
Bedding
Witchcraft supplies
Tools
Two batteries (big batteries)
The van itself is also really valuable to us whether we use it or sell it. Even if it were empty I would want it back, but the things inside of it is what’s making my stomach twist. I’ve been agonizing over this since we got the phone call. Roy recorded it and you can listen to it here.
We have about $20. Y’all sent us donations and we got busy restoring our electricity and didn’t know this was gonna come up. We thought it was gone and done. I really don’t want my van and belongings to get crushed and trashed. I can’t fuckin sleep.

Hi my name is Lotus and I’m a 23-year-old black/filipino trans woman who’s trying her best to get an education in the arts.
i’m facing financial hardships because my job pays me fucking dust and I have to spend so much money on healthcare it’s not even funny. Every week I spend 40 dollars on therapy and at the moment I owe 130 dollars to my therapist’s office. I also have to pay to get a proper ADHD evaluation, to see my psychiatrist for my medication, and transportation to and from all of these appointments. Not to mention the costs of medically transitioning, which I can only assume will become even more difficult given our current political climate. I’m currently looking for other work and trying to see what kind of govt assistance I can get for my disability. On top of going to school it’s such a pain to have to make time for all of this and make payments on time as well, let alone perform basic self-care like feeding myself. I could really use the support right now.
There are so many of you following this blog that If I got just a dollar from each of you I’d be set for months. So please please consider helping me out. If you can give big, great. If you can’t, I’m just as grateful. I’m working really hard to make good things for the world and I hope that you will support me on this journey. Thanks in advance
hello… im emma… im 19… i live in chicago.. im a lesbian… & i (still) need some cash 🙁
i have been unable to work bc of (1) a rather severe uptick in my mental illness, (2) a huge school workload, and (3) a lot of unforeseen “family” stress.
point 1: i have depression, some type of anxiety disorder, ocd, seasonal affective disorder, and some issues w/ childhood trauma (i cant say ptsd for sure but i have a lot of its symptoms). ive also had a history of self harm, disordered eating, and [redacted] ideation. as well, i have really bad chronic body pain & terrible issues with sleep.
point 2: luckily the semester is almost over, i think i have like 6 weeks left, but i really really need to push through these next couple weeks. i have filed for disability with my school but they are packed to hell and idk when theyre going to get around to my file. im a sophomore computer animation BFA major + potential motion graphics minor, with honors.
point 3: after a lifetime of emotional/verbal abuse from my mother, i have decided to cut her off. i dont think permanently, but… for a very long time. if you are at all familiar with abuse from a maternal figure, especially if you are a girl, especially if she was a single mother, especially if the two of you lived poor… you know how much it fucks you up. and you may also know how much it fucks you up to cut her off. no matter what it sucks.
so! if you decide to donate, it will be going to food, groceries, medicine*, and co-pays. i have a meeting with my therapist every friday ($20), and on november 30, i have an appointment with a psychiatrist to see about a med change (fuck prozac!). i also need to get my birth control refilled soon – that should be free, or something super cheap like $5, but im not completely sure. (*i do smoke weed to help. I completely understand if you dont want to donate bc of that.)
please, do not donate if you are a minor, if you’re struggling very hard yourself, or if you are a friend of mine.
if you do donate, thank you for helping. it does not go unnoticed or unappreciated. seriously.
if you would like more information, feel free to ask me anything.
Do NOT put your credit in the caption. Tumblr deleted blogs that post and reblog content containing links in the caption. It happened to me and now it happened to @softjeon .
I’m in class so I can’t explain but please consider putting your link in the tags. It can seriously harm your blog and your followers.
If you want to know staff’s explanation, let me know and I can send you their email I received after they brought back my blog.
Stay safe and please reblog
Notice that neither of us reblogged porn or a link directing to porn whatsoever. We assume file share links like media fire and upload are risky and twitter and YouTube links
It looks like her trigger was giving credit to a twitter account (link in the caption)
Some people are confused as to what I mean with ‘caption’ so here’s an example:
“love” redirects to the source and CAN trigger an automatic termination of your blog.
What can you do if you find yourself not able to access your blog?
In general, all your information such as your URL; followers; posts, etc is not deleted. But you can’t access your Blog nor can other’s do anything else but tag you.
If you find yourself logged out, use the contact formula at the bottom of the log in page and choose ‘terminated account’ as the reason you’re contacting support and write them a short but detailed explanation of your problem. And then you have to wait. Tumblr might send you an E-Mail letting you know they received your messages. Be aware it can take a while for them to investigate the problem so try not to freak out.
The people I know of got their blog back so don’t worry too much.
