SUPPORT MY RUN TO FIGHT EATING DISORDERS, BECAUSE FUCK ANOREXIA! 🥊🥊🥊

I'M DOUBTFUL I'LL REACH MY $1K AUD GOAL BY THE RUN BUT THAT ISN'T ANY REASON TO STOP TRYING RIGHT?! 💪💪

ANY AMOUNT HELPS THE CAUSE, but if you really cannot donate, interactions and reblogs go a long way <3

MORE INFO BELOW CUT.

ON THE 19TH, I AM RUNNING 12KM WITH HBF RUN FOR A REASON, AND I'VE BEEN FUNDRAISING FOR THE BUTTERFLY FOUNDATION, A GROUP FOCUSED ON PREVENTING EDS, AS WELL AS SUPPORTING THOSE LIVING WITH EDS.

But... Why?

Since age 12, I've been living with disordered eating, and this past year I've been caught in a severe cycle of restrictive to binge/purging anorexia. When I heard about HBF run for a reason, I wanted to take it on: not only to raise money for an extremely important foundation, but also as a challenge to myself. I have been training... Not only physically, but mentally, to prepare myself for this run. 12km might not seem like a huge deal, but to someone who's lost most of their physical strength to illness, doing this run is going to be my Mount Everest.

What is the Butterfly Foundation?

The Butterfly Foundation is an Australian organisation dedicated to supporting Australians impact by all types of eating disorders from all walks of life. Their primary service is their helplines, and I cannot stress how important these are. EDs are a socially isolating experience, and in more cases than not, people with an ED will completely socially isolate themselves, meaning that in moments of crisis, they might not have anyone to go to. Raising funds will allow the Butterfly Foundation to keep itself up and running, and to keep providing the lifesaving support that it has been providing to people like me.

I can't donate, but I really want to help :(

It's okay, I understand, and I love you. Sharing this blog post and/or my fundraising page is a HUGE help, and it still means the world.

PR0ANA AND PR0MIA, please DNI. I understand what you're going through, I've been where you are and I'm not going to lecture you or act like my opinion will change yours, but this is not the right place for interactions. Thank you <3

the whole guilt-tripping language in posts about important topics paired with how I'm still getting bitches in my notes talking about why it's actually good to tell "bad" people to kill themselves continues to prove to me that a lot of people have absolutely no concept of social justice or activism outside of assuming the worst of and then viciously attacking strangers on the internet

To illustrate this post by @mayahawkse I would like to visualize to you the difference:

A post in 2023:

A post in 2014:

A zoom out of the same post:

This is what a community looks like.

See how in 2023 almost all of the reblogs come from the OP, from their few hours/days in the tag search. Meanwhile in 2014 the % of reblogs from OP is insignificant, because most of the reblogs come from the reblogs within the fandom, within the micro-communities formed there. You didn't need to rely on tags, or search, or being featured. Because the community took care of you, made sure to pass the work between themselves and onto their blog and exposed their followers to it. It kept works alive for years.

It's not JUST the reblog/like ratio that causing this issue, it's the type of interaction people have. They're content with scrolling and liking the search engine, instead of actually having a reblogging relationship with other blogs in their community.

Anyways, if you want to see more content you like, the only true way to make it happen is to reblog it. Likes do not forward content in no way but making OP feel nice. Reblogs on the other hand make content eternal. They make it relevant, they make it exist outside of a fickle tumblr search that hardly works on the best of days.

If you want more of something, reblog it.

Athena really did just pick a family and go- that one’s mine. Like we know Odysseus and Telemachus already have ties to Athena, but it’s always not mentioned as much that in the Odyssey, Athena looks after Penelope as well! She blesses Penelope with sleep when she cries, and soothes her-

kofi request: Tsuyu, Bakugo, and Ochako hanging out. I made them work on a group project together, i think they'd make a very fun and competent team lmao

one thing about Joel Smallishbeans is that he's always giggling. I think most people overlook this in the fandom because most of the time his delivery is just so deadpan and sarcastic, but its when he's doing a bit with another person you can always hear him loudly giggling in between sentences trying not to break character. He is ESPECIALLY prone to doing this with Etho. Its so damn cute it makes me insane and I think more people deserve to notice this!!

I enjoyed every second of this quest

hear me out the other day i woke up and was immediately hit in the face with "7 year gap narumitsu in europe where phoenix kisses edgeworth in a low moment and then tries to flee and edgeworth uses mind chess on him to get the truth out of him which is a completely normal and ordinary average way to discuss your relationship"

Just a reminder that unless your amputee character lost their limb less than a month ago, their stumps don't need to be bandaged.

I like to think that Oda would let Dazai stay over at his place sometimes back then. (Because Mr. Demon Prodigy didn't have no proper house).
