There is something amazing about the amount of compassion strangers have for one another in the Tumblr community. I am stunned, and it is a beautiful thing.
I’m glad faberryiskumming is alright. She posted a suicide note today (which is now gone) and had consumed only 3 of the pills before the resourceful people of Tumblr had found her address and called the local police. She’s alive and in the hospital (I think).
The fact that Tumblr people are so caring and resourceful as to save a life with nearly no resources to find out personal information about people, but in a last minute attempt to save a life finds the IP address, links it to a town, and calls the police to save a stranger: THAT is compassion at its finest.
The internet saved a 16 year old bisexual female from taking her own life. (She was being harassed by her sexual orientation.)
Good job, humanitarians! '-')b
