As we now know, Tumblr is $30 million dollars in debt. Oops. Tumblr has announced some major (and unpopular) changes to the site in their attempt to get back above water. The alternative is that Tumblr ceases to exist. But maybe we can change that...
How:
There are 327 million unique tumblr visits per month, and almost 500 million active accounts. If 10 million unique users (or less, if we bought more than one) bought or gifted Crabs from the Tumblr store, we could knock out Tumblr's debt easily. Buy crabs!
When:
July 29, 2023 is Crab Day, running through August 5 (for anyone who can't log on that day) as Crab Week!
Who:
Everyone!! If you truly can't afford to participate with a $3 crab, (or other item from the shop) post crab memes!
Time for Tumblr users to rise again and surprise everyone...
I think it’s also very important to keep in mind that Trans-rights have been a very hot topic in the UK in recent months due to Scotland’s Gender Recognition Reform Bill which was passed in late 2022. It was a pretty significant triumph for the progression of gender rights and was intended to “improve the system by which transgender people can apply for legal recognition through a Gender Recognition Certificate (GRC).” [ www.gov.scot]. Please keep in mind, this was a bill passed by the Scottish parliament with the intention of being Scottish law.
Unfortunately, this bill was then vetoed by Westminster (The UK Parliament) who invoked Section 35 of the Scotland Act 1988 for the first time since the devolution. The enactment of Section 35 was done so by Alister Jack, the Scottish Secretary appointed by English former-former UK Prime Minister and Conservative Party Leader Boris Johnson. While Section 35 can be invoked regarding devolved issues (such as Gender Recognition) there were claims that the “legislation would have an adverse impact on the operation of Great Britain-wide equalities legislation”.
The bill itself was a hotbed for trans-activists and Terfs/Transphobes alike, but was likely given a bigger stage with the likes of JKR wading in and putting a significant (and negative) spotlight on the issue. The law only became even more contentious as it lit a very long yet anticipated fuse between the Scottish and UK Parliaments with political and social tensions already being at an all time high with rampant anti-Brexit sentiments and renewed calls for Scottish independence.
All that said, please keep in mind that while we have a horrifically high representation of Terf-activity as represented by the engagement map above, unless this map is dated prior to the passing of the Gender Recognition Reform bill, this likely represents the heightened activity sparked by the political spotlight on trans-rights and will not be reflective of the far more accepting views of the general British public.

The Summary
We took Caliga in 4 weeks ago with a leg injury, but we were misled about the true extent of the damage and are now fighting to get Caliga the treatment she needs that unfortunately isn’t covered by her insurance.
If you have even a single £1 to spare towards Caliga’s treatment, it makes a massive difference.
We’ll be frequently sharing updates about Cali’s progress and ongoing treatment via her ko-fi page.
Reblogs are greatly appreciated to help Cali’s outreach!
