Donate if you can, and even if you can’t, spend some time this November educating yourself about the history of the very-much-still-alive tribe that sat down with the pilgrims, the continued history of colonization in America, and about the tribe/s whose land you are occupying.

People are dying from this typhoon and their homes are being flooded ON TOP of having to deal with a pandemic. 

There are videos out there of people crying for help and whole areas being flooded. 

For contextualisation: Keep in mind that Typhoon Ulysses is roughly equivalent to a Category-2 Hurricane.

The evolution of the Clave (spoilers)

1820’s-kidnap a girl and literally torture her to the point of insanity and when her family entombs her alive literally doesn’t even lift a finger. Executes a woman (who they thought was pregnant) just because her husband wasn’t what they considered brave. (I have no idea when the Edmund Herondale thing happend so I put it on here, feel free to correct me)

1880’s-Is disgusted by Tessa’s specie and doesn’t hesitate to tell her so. Laughs and ignores when someone asks for their aid to take down their biggest enemy just because the person who asked was a woman. Tries to take away the title of institute head from a completely capable shadowhunter because of her gender.

1920’s- Is still disgusted by Tessa’s specie and doesn’t hesitate to tell her or her two children.

1980’s-starts to show a little bit of humanity that is then destroyed by a racist maniac

2000’s-Humanity? Bye, bye, you little shit and welcome back to stupid-ass decisions town. Nearly gives up and bows down to racist maniac and his demon army because they don’t want to make downworlders equal.

Rips apart a family from their sister because her father was forced to have affairs with a a faerie causing her to have faerie blood, something she certainly had no way of controling. And then forbids them to search for their brother that is literally suffering torture in Fae land. Then, as if that wasn’t enough, submits two eight-year-olds and two twelve-year-olds to trail.

2010’s- Is literally commanded by racist maniac 2.0

So, yeah, the Clave’s a little corrupt shit and I’m yearning for the moment where Alec shuts it down.
