realizing that sticking to the "do it bad" "do it scared" mentality implies theres also a "do it bored"

Two things I need Today's Youth to know:

1. Anything the government says is propaganda

2. 99% of vegetables taste better roasted

I like and trust this person for stuff, we should all call! Think of it in a different way if you have to; like rallying against your fav/least fav anime villain and telling them off through phone call, or view it on a smaller scale!! But get out and call!

Hey, if you’re anxious like I am about calling people, especially the government, give this a try. No matter how many tries it takes you to get yourself to read this (it took me a quite a while too!) you’ll get there! It’s all or nothing these days boy, girls, non-binary pals! Just 1 minute after-hours if you have too! If you think this won’t help you, then share it with a friend who it might!

Hope this helps someone!

My mom got phished in an EXTREMELY refined scam that pretty much anyone could fall for-- basically her account was already pre-hacked and they spoofed the bank's number exactly, called her pretending there was fraud, and read back legitimate and fake transactions and personal info so she wouldn't suspect they weren't the bank. Then discouraged her from logging in claiming the account was locked so they could investigate the fraud-- all so she wouldnt catch them making massive purchases using her stolen info.

We have the same boss and when she told him what happened he recommended she call the bank directly, so she did and they managed to catch it in time before $20k of transactions went through. Very scary

I guess the lesson here is never ever answer your phone, I love that fraud is so rampant an entire form of mass communication is now useless

ANYONE can fall for phishing scams- my mom is extremely smart and we discuss common scams that target her age demographic and she still fell for this. If it happened to me I may have fallen for it too. Always be careful!

I was in line at Aldi and this girl with two toddlers in front of me had her card declined and she looked so fucking sad and said “let me call my husband real quick” and it was only 18 dollars, so I just paid for it, and she was very sweet and then as she walked off, the lady behind me said `”You know that was probably a scam, right?” and like, even if it was, like what a sad fucking scam, right? 18 dollars at the Aldi. If you’re “scamming” me for some Tyson chicken and apple juice and cauliflower, then just take my fucking money. 

“A scam” people are fucking wild.  

Just a neat motivation song is these times! Hope everyone is having a nice day or night!

Really good message and other stuff about important dates for protests! Keep up the great work everyone! You can do it, we can do it!

Queer 👏 people 👏 are 👏 not 👏 all 👏 fucking 👏 activists 👏

Stop quizzing us on queer history and asking us questions we aren’t qualified to answer about the world and about politics and about our identities

Stop trying to back us into a corner so you can justify your discrimination on the basis that we don’t know what we’re talking about or can’t “defend” ourselves to you

Stop treating every queer person that stands up and says “I want to be treated like a person” as if they’re an activist

Cut that bullshit out

Marginalised people just want to exist and be happy

I don’t know everything, and that doesn’t make me undeserving of your respect or my human rights you fucker

I don’t even owe you the stuff I do know- I still am entitled to basic fucking respect

TLDR; Queer people shouldn’t have to be historians or scientists for you to not be a fucking dick
