PLEASE DON’T SCROLL

PLEASE DON’T SCROLL

even if you only reblog, that’s enough

i was debating on whether or not i should post this on tumblr but seeing as there haven’t been posts about this yet, here it is. i’m exposing my real location and nationality but it doesn’t matter.

if you have been active on twitter, you may already know #savemyanmar is trending. long story short, there has been a military coup. several nations have released statements but i want to share insight on what’s happening in the country.

memes about a coup have been circulating around for a couple days and when i slept at 2 am last night, we were still under the rule of the National League for Democracy (NLD). while they are not technically democratic, they are the closest we’ve got. when my mother woke up at 6 this morning, she was notified that the country was now under the rule of the military.

banks services are no longer available. wifi was cut at around 7-8. some people got wifi again earlier but many got it barely thirty minutes ago. this is bad for businesses especially ones that require international communications. additionally, international students like myself are experiencing anxiety; how do we pay for and attend classes if we’re not sure wifi is a given?

myanmar has a long, complicated history with military governments. the last time the military went into rule was in 1962 and only stopped in 2011, following the 2010 elections. there was a huge protest in 1988 lead by students that resulted in lots of death. during the military junta, resources like rice, water, oil, were scarce. the gist is military rule is bad for us.

all of my followers are not myanmar citizens, i’m sure but as part of the international community, please help us. here is a petition that you can sign (although i’m not sure if that can do much). there may be protests in front of myanmar embassies so look out for those. most of all, please help spread awareness. 

the people here are coping with dark humor, primarily in the form of memes but we don’t know how long this rule will last, even though the official statement said only a year. here’s something that pretty much sums up our coping mechanism:

PLEASE DON’T SCROLL

again, even a reblog helps

Please follow @ m7mdkurd on Twitter and on Instagram. A constant voice for Palestinians as he is also living there as well. He is a poet, and a person with hopes and dreams just like everyone else. There are constant updates through his social media, and I believe it is very important for people to actually see what’s going on through the lens of an actual Palestinian person.

Hey everyone, not to be that person, but I opened a Ko-fi and a linkr so you can find my other social medias. I'm trying to gain some financial independence from my parents, so anything you might be willing to donate would be a huge help! I'll provide any advice I can, and I'll share more about my own personal experiences! If you're willing to boost this, please do!

u know when u scroll past a post because it’s talking about a serious topic? for example a national crisis in a different country or a donations post detailing abuse or just something triggering to you, because you don’t have the emotional capacity to deal with it at that exact moment? that’s okay. you don’t have to feel like a bad person just because a tumblr user said “don’t scroll!!!” you can scroll. if you know something will be triggering, you should never feel bad for skipping it.

Exactly!!!!! But you don’t know what you should do because everyone’s just staring at you and making snide comments rather than offering help!!!!! And if they decide you’re asking too many questions or ask them to repeat themselves, they get irritated and tell you you should already know that, or they just told you, but they told you in a way you just can’t understand! So then you stop asking questions, and then when you mess up they get irritated at you again because you didn’t ask for help!

I think that sometimes, having autism/ADHD is kind of like being in a country that speaks a language/has a culture you only know a little of.

•You think you’re good to go, but you get to your destination, and everyone’s speaking faster than you thought they would. You can only tell what a few words are.

•You can’t keep up with anything anyone is saying. They’re all speaking too fast, and all at once. You try to ask them to slow down and speak one at a time, but they brush you off.

•You go to a restaurant, and you think you know how to order, but you sit down and see things you never learned on the menu, and when it comes time to order, you can’t remember how to.

•When you look around, you can’t quite understand what all the signs and store names say. Slowly, you get a headache from reading them and trying to translate them into something that makes sense.

•When you do something normal in your country, people stare at you like you’ve grown a second head. You don’t understand why—it’s completely normal to you, something you do all the time. When you explain this to them, they shake their heads and click their tongues at you and make a generalization about your country.

Idk, this is just kinda how I view it!

TIL that the relationship I have with my partners is called an open equal triad. Finally I don’t have to explain it as “see I’m dating A and B, and A and B are dating! But A is also dating C, while B and I aren’t.” Thanks @thebibliosphere!

Okay genuine question, how the fuck does someone practice self care when they're completely exhausted both mentally and physically? I want to, but it just seems completely impossible, especially after these past few days.

That neurodivergent feel when you’re not in bed when you’re usually in bed, so you should be in bed, but you can’t get up to go to bed because of executive dysfunction so everything is Wrong™️.
