Suuus 5,632 Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 47 minutes ago, Modern Ecstasy2 said: When I was at Enigma last year (maybe others who were at any of the shows remember this), I stopped by the BTWF table after, to talk to people from Find Your Anchor, a US-based non profit that does suicide prevention work. You could sign up with them to have a suicide prevention box sent to you, so I got one to bring for the youth I work with. It took over 3 months for them to get it to me because of their association with Gaga, they became flooded with requests for boxes. But that wasn’t even BTWF, it was just another non profit they were supporting, who are actually doing concrete work and providing resources to people. I’ve always been wary of BTWF. How can you say you’re advocating for better mental health without even having a crisis line or something. On their website they provite phone numbers you can call if you need help Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But @blankpaper made a pretty comprehensive analysis about how that is unlikely with the BTWF, considering its structure. I agree. I think a lot of people, in many different ways, are just on edge and irritated. alot of them are probably done with this quarantine Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lumiere 5,717 Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 The way no one was really concerned about BTWF up until Haus Labs is involved. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The arrival of one disease doesn’t displace the fact that there are may others and serious mental illnesses that need attention. Suicide, self-harm, domestic violence and addiction are at all time highs and virus or no virus, they need the proper attention. Defend Your Humanity.

hELXIG 43,038 Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 I just wish BTWF would disclose where their money goes. Surely if it's going to good places like funding other charities and non profits then it wouldn't hurt for them to be transparent about that? I'll be myself until they fūcking close the coffin.

Electric Mary 1,051 Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 this kindness punk attitude is really getting annoying, sometimes I think I'm stanning mother Teresa's lost daughter instead of one of the biggest popstars in the world I'm not against the album delay or wtv but I would prefer she stayed silent instead of making posts like these Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This. Her message is so confusing. I thought she was “focusing on solutions”. Not trying to be a downer, I’m genuinely confused by her intentions.

Sickness 1,978 Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 This thread was a ride lmao wow. Most of us are confused because we've been hearing about the BTWF since its creation and 10 years later nobody knows where the **** the money goes to but the kindness punks decide to call anyone to dares ask a question a hater and a criminal accuser ??? the **** lmfao Anyway yeah, this wasn't a good move from miss Mother Theresa Monster.
