I mean, I believe aggressive homophobes should get the death penalty, but we can't all get what we want.

Mmmmm yeah they're pretty bad
My mom used to work as a book keeper, some of the stuff they do is iffy. When toys get donated for Christmas for the kids, staff get to go through and pick what they want to keep for their own kids (even from stuff for specific kids)
Then then being conservative Christian in nature (with chapels in the buildings and all), LGBTQ+ get to go to straight or stay out basically
And most of the stuff donated, even if it's in good condition, gets scrapped instead of resold, and the stores in my area are always dirty

I've never seen or been inside a Salvation Army thrift store, didn't see one in Maryland and I haven't seen one in Florida

:( Fuck salvation army. God, hearing people ring those bells around Christmas, asking for donations just pisses me off now.
I usually just go to goodwill. There's also a local thrift store that donates profits to a center that provides resources to homeless people in my town to help them get back on their feet.

Goodwill is where I get some really pretty and cute stuff, I love it there plus it just feels so surreal walking in there and you see (at least at my goodwill) a lovely elderly woman who'll happily help you

My cat is asleep on/hugging my arm so I can only type with one hand :/

Goodwill is great, I've gotten some really nice stuff from there. Most of my Halloween costume was made from stuff I found at Goodwill, actually.

also on the fuck the salvation army train, they apparently are abusive to their women shelters and do some sketchy things with their monetary donations. I don't think the ones in my area are "non-profit."

Go to goodwill for thrifting, or check out local non-chains and consignment shops!

so I wrote a thing and I sort of hate it?

that is true, salvation army is very not-good

Random as hell but my friend almost got kidnapped at a goodwill so yes always be careful when you go places

Also yes fuck salvation army

can I go on a rant

is
is that allowed here

I'm pretty sure you can.

I went to a baby shower, with my family and a group of boys was insulting the little kids because they were girls
I told them to leave them alone and not surprisingly, they started insulting me too.
I wanted to punch them so badly, but they were 11, 10, and 9 year olds.

great
so
Dude I can't deal with this at all.
I literally had my fifth mental breakdown and panic attack yesterday.

I can't do this anymore. I can't be the fucking therapist. I can't fucking handle it anymore. I'm going to FUCKING SCREAM if I have to console one more suicidal person.

I just- I can't, dude. You don't understand what a bad place I'm in.
I'm genuinely suffering.
I haven't cried that hard since I was ten. TEN.
Everything's coming crashing down on me and I can't take any more weight. I'm at my emotional limit.

And my fucking friend's out here threatening to take out their fucking vocal cords.

As a former full time therapist friend
I GET THAT DUDE
I GET THAT SO HARD
I’M SO SORRY YOU HAVE TO GO THROUGH ALL OF THAT

I haven't slept in like 4 days, I haven't eaten since yesterday, and this motherfucker's out here like "oh, I'm sure you'll find more people like ALLISON" WHO'S LITERALLY THE MAIN SOURCE OF MY TRAUMA AND PTSD

wait, vocal cords?
Is it

If you think someone's about to kill themself, then call 911 on them. Seriously. If you think their life is in immediate danger, tell on them. You shouldn't have to play the role of therapist, it's not your duty, it's not how you be a good friend. In this case, being a good friend will be telling on them. For both of your sakes, tell on them. People who aren't trained shouldn't be consoling suicidal people, and you shouldn't feel bad for being burnt out for trying to do so. It's not your job. Do people the favor of recommending real, professional help. That's the best you can do.

I'M LIKE ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME????
YOU LITERALLY SAID "haha you'll go back on your bullshit"
LIKE THAT BITCH TRIED TO FUCKING KILL ME AND YOU'RE OUT HERE ACTING LIKE I DON'T GOT ISSUES
