If you need money, unsolicited messages in a stranger's inbox aren't going to help you. That's what bots do. I don't even know you. I'm broke as hell and just trying to keep my head down. Please leave me alone. I don't want to have to close my inbox but god damn it I'm not exactly being given many options here. Like, who do you think you are, the DNC? People throw those away as junk mail too, you know.

#Toast Rants #There have always been some of these all throughout tumblr's history #But it's gone up 10000% this past year for obvious reasons #From individual randos to claimed refugees #I can't make more than five posts without another showing up #And they follow you *just* before sending a message to make 100% sure they *can* send one too in case you checked that option #So you can't even turn off anon or set it to only followers or anything like that to stop them they just keep coming #I'm tired #Is this where we are with bots now #Because 90% of these are bullshit I'm completely sure of that much #And even when they aren't I have very pointedly stated multiple times now that I'm just trying to stay alive myself here #Do you have any idea how many world events I have blacklisted right now it's nothing personal but I'm not engaging with any of this #I only have so thin a thread left I don't need your tragedy on top of mine weighing me down #Presuming you're even real and not just another goddamn bot that is which statistically speaking you probably are #I'm just so tired #Maybe it's time I just turn off asks entirely #Not like anybody actually talks to me to begin with anyway
