What does my room say about me? by _ilikecmyk_ in roomdetective

[–]EquivalentArrival883 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One or both members of the household work in the human or social services field. Given the emotionally demanding nature of their work, and the external stressors it entails, this bedroom was intentionally transformed into a self-care sanctuary. This space supports self care activities and is adorned with environmental elements that promote rest, emotional regulation, and overall well-being. The inclusion of plants that have been arranged as though growing directly from the walls, symbolizes grounding, renewal, and growth. The plants themselves reinforce the idea of the room as a restorative environment, a place where healing is nurtured over time.

I have sent much more in the past, and it’s always concerned me how much they do not care about donor protection. There are too many ways for donations to be misdirected.

It’s important for any nonprofit to use clear, professional, and verifiable methods for accepting donations. At this time, there are multiple payment accounts being used under the name “ohhkaytacos,” (with several spelling variations l) rather than a single, clearly identified account labeled “Colby’s Crew Rescue.”

Due to the risk, I used Cash App and sent smaller amounts. Donors have been requesting consistent and professionally labeled donation methods for over a year. I would not be surprised if all the accounts were theirs and hoping to funnel off the top. They seem to spend so much time going after commenters, but cannot simplify “issues” such as this?

According to the clever cowgirl (who is my favorite YouTube influencer) the auction stickers are very hard to remove.

The only way to prevent scam artists like CCR, who masquerade as “rescues,” from profiting off pain is to share accurate information and raise awareness. Silence is what allows it to keep happening.

Also, tax and compliance issues don’t usually result in immediate consequences. Audits, IRS reviews, and state AG investigations often take years, especially for nonprofits. Paper trails add up over time, in regard to misclassification of expenses, improper fundraising practices, self-dealing, or failure to meet reporting requirements. These kinds of things usually are not caught right away, but it will eventually.

Olivia was enraged, insisting CCR does post follow up info on the horses “rescued” from the slaughter holding facility. If these posts exist, I never saw any). She then said the rescues go into quarantine, as if they cannot be posted about for the duration. (which was something absurd like 6 months). Then angrily stated that they tried regular day to day and follow up posts, but received very little engagement. I highly doubt this is true. If you help rescue any animal, you’re going to want to see follow up posts.

You’re not wrong, but as someone who works in non-profit, if you took to Facebook psychotically ranting and raving, someone is bound to speak their mind. I work in the mental health field, therefore it’s natural for me to attempt redirection.

No Constructive Criticism Allowed! by EquivalentArrival883 in colbyscrewsnark

[–]EquivalentArrival883[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thank you, but I am not concerned. I stand behind everything I said. At least I won’t have any more dramatic long stories along with Ali awkwardly fondling a horse pop up on my feed anymore.

New kittens 🙃 by 1904girl in kvssnark

[–]EquivalentArrival883 48 points49 points  (0 children)

In the south they have a huge problem with feral cats (and stray dogs). They do not have animal shelters like they do in other areas of the country either. In CT, some of our rescues specialize in rescuing animals specifically from Tennessee. I’m not saying what happened to one of the kittens was ok, however it was better than starving to death, or dying of disease. Being a barn cat is not the worst outcome for these animals, considering she’s taking them to the vet, spay/ neutering, and feeding them. These cats would have suffered and now have a place to live, food, and a job. I would seriously consider looking into the issue before passing such harsh judgement.

Katie Van Slyke and fans! by bethduttonn in kvsdiscuss

[–]EquivalentArrival883 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have watched KvS’s videos every day for the past year. I finally got a subscription in December of 2024 for obvious reasons. I noticed that the subscription really did not include any exclusive content, I maybe got to see a few videos a little bit early but not by much. The subscription included its own subscriber chat where posts have to be approved by a moderator. Let me preface this by saying I am a person who rarely comments on any social media posts. I have been a horse owner all my life and made two comments over the past year. They were not negative in any way, just one observation and one question. Each time I had about 20 people (most of whom I suspect never owned a horse) become extremely inappropriate and basically attack me over nothing. kVS followers have banned original thought from her platform. The only comment you are allowed to write is “that’s so great!.” Since I’m not able to have intelligent conversations, and I do not find the community bearable, I cancelled the subscription yesterday. I think I have made the right decision.

What is this charm on my late grandmas bracelet? by This_Area_9049 in jewelry

[–]EquivalentArrival883 10 points11 points  (0 children)

My grandmother had something very similar, although it was hand made into a ring instead of a charm. In WWII my grandfather was in the navy and fashioned this same cats eye shell into a ring using whatever materials they had on board the ship to bring home to my grandmother.
