Look, I know a good number of you are from the US and things aren't amazing there either, but my country is literally on the brink of collapse. So I'd love it if we could talk about that for a minute.
If you can't do anything else, please just read and reblog.
A second COVID wave has taken out the healthcare system. There are no more hospital beds. There's an oxygen shortage. There's a critical vaccine shortage. The Central Government has thrown its hands up and is passing the baton to the State Governments to do what they can.
There are over 16 million covid cases. A record 330,000 new cases reported yesterday - comparable to the US at its peak. 187,000 dead as of today.
There is no plan.
Mass cremations are taking place. The cremation grounds are running day and night and they are short on wood. People are watching their loved ones die while waiting for a hospital bed, and then they're unable to give them the proper burial rights.
Hospitals are overwhelmed. Patients are being confined, two to a bed. They're the lucky ones.
We are on the verge of people dying in the streets.
This is the second-most populous country in the world. The largest democracy. A country that encapsulates over 15,000 years of recorded human history and has endured everything from famine to invasion to colonisation.
We might be at the end. This might be the thing that does us in.
People are dying.
People are dying.
People are dying and there is no plan.
More good news? Variants are popping up. A double mutation strain has shown up. It is resistant to current vaccines. This will not go away. This is the devastation they warned of when the anti-maskers were out protesting the minor inconvenience of covering their face in public.
My country is on the verge of an emergency state. Our government has failed us. This is as dire a situation as it ever could be.
Look. I don't do much with my life. I write fics, some of you have read them and that's pretty much it. I spend my days with my head in the clouds because that's where I like to be.
But two days ago, my grandmother tested positive, had to be taken to hospital and the ambulance caught fire.
She barely made it to the urgent care she needs.
So, here I am, using whatever meager platform I have to cobble this request together. Because I have to do something.
If you can, donate.
Or spread the word.
Help. Please.
About a week ago I posted this.
I’ve been getting horrible messages like this in my ask for months, including:
and my personal favorite
After getting the message saying “Just go kill yourself” I was completely done dealing with this person’s horrible messages and replied with just an “Okay.” and logged off tumblr.
About a week later I logged back on with 17 messages in my ask, most of them from the anon. I scrolled down and at first when I logged off, the anon messaged me things like
I scrolled up more and all of a sudden they started sending me more and more messages like
This was extremely surprising to me. I thought “After all those horrible messages you sent to me for MONTHS about hating me and wanting me dead, you say ‘sorry’ and that you ‘cant be responsible for someone’s suicide’?”
But I guess the lesson goes like this:
DONT TELL ANYONE TO KILL THEMSELVES UNLESS YOU ARE PREPARED FOR WHAT MIGHT ACTUALLY HAPPEN
Ok so I apologise is this is dumb, but have been a woman and now being genderqueer, does that make me transgender? Because I’m so confused about that and have been for as long as it had been since I realised that. Sorry if that was stupid but this post is helpful in making me think about this again.
I wonder how many gay people are actually transgender & dont know it because people thing being transgender is transitioning when it’s literally just not being cis.
Alfred appreciation
I love how all of the Batman villains are like “ah he’s not at the manor, it’s defenseless! and then alfred just racks an AK-47 and is like pull up bitch
Someone please tell my brain to stop

My brain really went uh huh and Lyf/Shane now has the ability to see ghost and demons and shit as well as rainbow powers
Uh huh checks out
Please help
Prompt #996
Tony Stark doesn’t die after the snap. Instead the stones send him through a miraculous journey through all the alternate futures Doctor Strange saw, and their chilling aftermaths. Now Tony must travel through each reality facing the man he hates and the repercussions of his actions, and hopefully find a way back to his own universe. There’s only one problem, he can only move forward if he helps the Stephen Strange of that reality find peace within the fallout. To bad Tony has no sympathy for the devil. But he soon finds out that Stephen Strange is more than meets the eye, and becomes aware of every thing he was willing to do to save the universe. Slowly Tony’s hate gives away to unwavering respect and adoration as he realizes Stephen was right, there was no other way. Through versions of Stephen who have fallen to dark magic, to ones who must endure hatred from everyone around him to ones who’ve quite literally achieved the loneliness of Godhood, and Stephen’s who have been broken beyond any recognition one thing becomes clear, there’s no one else Tony Stark would rather have at his side. All the has to do now, is find his way back home to his own Stephen Strange. If that’s actually possible.

being non-binary is sooooo exhausting... everyone wants a piece of you, you’re hot, you’re funny, you’re cooler than ice cold, you dress impeccably... smash that reblog button if you too think non-binary people deserve to be given 1000000 dollars in cash.
I’m listening to my liked songs on shuffle and I just listed to dttm tales to be told and I’ve just realised that absolutely any song could come after in and it would still sound like it was supposed to come after
Like it was Tales To Be Told and then Gohsting by Mother Mother and if I hadn’t listed to both songs on repeat I would have thought that was the son that comes after in the album
i know its the mets, but this is the coolest shit i’ve ever seen a human being do
i just. wanna give somone a forehead kiss ....
