Redditors crashed the website with donations over $25k and 0 wishes left. via /r/MadeMeSmile

In response to this event, some redditors created r/charityraid, with the goal of concentrating the power of thousands of users into a single charity at a time to hopefully break a few more sites.

As of 9/21/21, the site has updated with more wishes. The incredible spike in donations is amazing, but if you want to and are able to keep the momentum going, there are over 300 waiting to be filled at https://www.onesimplewish.org!

a lot of these are very basic, small things. i just spent 17 dollars to buy a kid water shoes for a lake vacation ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

7/9/22 There are 200+ wishes who need YOU!

I don’t normally tag people but I’d like to send this to @instructor144 to post on positivity day. Maybe it would help crash the site again.

I’m paying to force seven thousand strangers to see a photo of my late husband having fun with his dog. Tumblr Blaze is totally worth it. XD

Thank-you to all of my new Internet stranger friends for being so gracious about having my post shoved onto your dashboards. I loved reading all of your kind tags and comments! Both Martin and Bosco have been gone for several years now but for 24 hours, they felt very present in my life. I greatly appreciate this gift. ❤️

Reblog to have your dashboard be visited by the spirit of joy that death can end but not erase.

Why is amazon treating its employees like teachers treat students

Because infantilizing your underpaid workers is the best strategy to instill feelings of inferiority and fear, while also encouraging them to want to please middle managers for better treatment while not actually improving their situation at all. Its very effective.

Everybody needs to take a good, hard look at the history of West Virginia, so they can understand just how badly companies will sink their claws into your life, and how to stop them from doing it again.

We are really gonna replay the 1920s all over again

Happened in the 1800s in Wales. They were called “truck shops”, and the English coal barons paid the miners in coupons that could only be used in their own shops, where goods were massively overpriced. The Merthyr Uprising was, by some accounts, the first place the red flag of worker’s rights was raised, and it was in part because of this.

reminder that the state joined the war on the side of the corporations

Some specific facts about this from the Battle of Blair Mountain:

  • The US Army fires over 1 million rounds of ammo at striking coal workers
  • around 100 workers were killed, nearly 1000 were arrested over the strike, some were tried and imprisoned for years
  • the bombs dropped on the workers by the state were the first time aerial bombs fell on US soil

They have been trying to bring back the Company Store since it was taken from them, how else can they ensure that their employees will always pay them back at a profit?

When public services are affordable and convenient, people will always choose those resources. They are not supposed to be a capitalistic profit-seeking initiative, they are developed for the benefit of the people, for a better life, just as government resources should be used. (tweet)

Tumblr needs more of this….whatever this is.

I have a physical need to reblog this every time.

If I ever fail to reblog this, please assume I’m dead and act accordingly.

You go into a creepy mansion and there's a cloaked figure learning how to play the organ from a YouTube tutorial on their phone. You leave them to it.
