Tumblr,
As you’re probably aware, the coronavirus disease, or COVID-19, has now been found in countries all over the globe. This is an understandably disconcerting moment for many, but there are steps we can all take to help mitigate the effect on our communities.
COVID-19 is spreading, but misinformation and disinformation are spreading even faster. The most responsible thing you can do is protect yourself from both the disease and false information. Being prepared with facts and data instead of assumptions and fabrications will help inform how you can best prepare for COVID-19.
WHO provides daily updates surrounding COVID-19’s spread, infection rate, and general influence on our society. Their latest update given on March 3, 2020, details that there is a shortage of personal protective equipment for healthcare professionals. They also provide a very handy FAQ section, where you can learn more about how to protect yourself and your community.
Every day Worldometer updates its website with the number of confirmed COVID-19 cases in each country that has been affected. Worldometer has been rated one of the best free reference websites by the American Library Association, and for good reason: it lists every single one of its regular sources here, and lists the source of every COVID-19 update at the bottom of the COVID-19 page.
Your local health department will often have the most up-to-date information specific to your immediate area, including how to proceed if you believe you may be showing symptoms of the virus. If you live in the United States, you can find the contact information for your health department by visiting the National Association of County and City Health Officials (NACCHO).
There’s another thing about this news that a lot of places are not talking about: the toll on one’s mental health, especially if you are someone who struggles with anxiety. If you find your concerns about being prepared are crossing a line that affects your mental health, please consider reaching out to a loved one who can guide you to help, a mental health professional, or an organization set up to help those in need.
Crisis Text Line is free, 24/7 support. Just text 741741 from anywhere in the United States. The Crisis Text Line will connect you with a trained Crisis Counselor.
National Alliance on Mental Illness (@namiorg) offers free support and resources for those who are struggling. NAMI can be reached Monday through Friday, 10 am - 6 pm EST at 1-800-950-NAMI (6264) or by email at info@nami.org.
Take care of yourselves, Tumblr. Wash your hands well, practice keeping a safe distance from others, only wear a mask if you believe you are sick with COVID-19 symptoms and could infect others (or are immunocompromised yourself), and remember to fact check everything that you see. Head on over to @world-wide-what for a refresher on what fake news looks like and how it spreads. Pass those tips onto others when you see them accidentally spreading false information.

It doesn’t have to be long. It doesn’t need proper punctuation.
Heck, it doesn’t even have to be coherent.
Nothing works faster at quieting the self-doubts and poking at the wayward muses.
Even if a writer cannot answer you quickly, I assure you, they will remember your name… and your kindness.
Marinette: Ok, but like why do I kind of wanna watch One Strange Rock rn? @ Adrien Agreste, what have you done to me?

hey, uh, did someone order some angst tropes?
lance being super insecure, feeling bad because he knows it’s irrational, but he feels like he’s being over shadowed by his fellow paladins.(shiro doesn’t have an arm and he’s fine, i really don’t contribute anything meaningful to the team).
pidge trying really hard to rationalize her feelings; isolating herself completely in the process, but not knowing how to open herself up to anyone, because she doesn’t even know how she feels.
hunk trying his best to be the support everyone needs, but he gets overwhelmed and breaks down because he can’t handle the emotional turmoil the team is unknowingly putting him under, but he can’t let it show because he’s the rock.
allura getting high-key depressed, because she is trying so hard to make the universe a better place, but every time she takes a step forward the galra push her five steps back, which makes her feel as though her efforts are useless.
coran not being able to stay on the same project for too long and being scolded for it, he tries to stay positive with new adventures and tasks, but he feels like he needs to put aside his personal happiness and wellness, because he’s being berated for it.
keith and lance get into a fight, so as shiro is trying to act as peace keeper, he overlooks important information and because he’s the leader he blames himself for any and all faults of the mission. he starts doubting his leadership but hides his feelings to appease the team.
keith blocks out everybody in his life, claiming he doesn’t need it, everybody already thinks he’s the lone wolf and all. he starts getting snippy and easily irritated because of his pent up feelings, which starts to put the team at risk.
so i was thinking,,,
callums birthday is july 15th
early season 1 he said he was 14 and 5/6
5/6 x 12 is 10
which means it’s two months before his birthday
which means it’s ≈ mid-may
by the start of season 2 it’s been a week
by the start of season 3 it’s been around another week
which puts season 3 ≈ late may early june
therefore
correct me if i’m wrong
rayllums anniversary is somewhere between may 30 - june 5
i elect it as a possible candidate for a rayllum week
