People panic buying disinfectant alcohol are stupid. We should all just get drunk everyday. Fight the corona virus from the inside out while having fun *shrugs*
Jimin is a famous instagrammer, who is publicly in love with a rap artist called Agust D. What would happen when Yoongi’s friend tells him about Jimin, and how both fandoms ship them.
oh it totally does, but you can’t hear it because space is a vacuum and sound can’t travel through a vacuum!
and that’s a good thing,
because the roar of the sun would clock in at around 120db heard from earth, about the equivalent to having a train’s horn go off three feet from your face.
constantly. all the time, even at NIGHT. there would be no escape.
so, the sun and the earth sound about how i would’ve expected, and a lot of other planets just make strong wind sounds which is perfectly reasonable but venus sounds like pure dread?!?! WHY IS SATURN SCREAMING?!? pluto isn’t bad and is actually kinda nice but it’s very strange to me too like Why Does It Do That. jupiter is super chill 10/10. pluto and jupiter need to collab i would buy that album
People listen.....the amount dead in the Abacos and Grand Bahama Islands is possible to be in the thousands despite Bahamian goverment officials claiming lower. Please keep the islands in your thoughts, this is thousands of people who are going through unimaginable things. If you know what it’s like to live after a monstrous hurricane, have some compassion for our neighbors. Florida was extremely lucky to not have been hit by that storm and it’s our duty to help the Bahamas, our friends, family and neighbor, as they’ve helped us before. Not to mention, Florida has an unbreakable bond, history and historic debt to the Bahamas.
Realize that many dead bodies in recently flooded areas will make people still in disaster zones extremely sick, there are babies and little children that are reported being sick by survivors who have live streamed videos.
Survivors have witnessed bodies floating and bodies strewn about in debris. (Video is not graphic, it’s a woman talking about seeing it all and her and her family’s experience during the storm).
There is no water in one Hospital in Freeport (September 8th 2019)
People are still stranded and there are hundreds missing in the Abacos
Claims of homicide rates ‘rising’ (unconfirmed) by some via live-streams (Edited 9/10/19): as prior I used the word ‘skyrocketed’ as directly mentioned by some Bahamians in live-streams, however that’s an exaggeration and mistake on my part, thank you to the Bahamians who corrected that).
Recently, Bahamian evacuees from Abaco and Grand Bahama have been denied entry to the US if they don’t have visas which is unusual if you’re from Florida and know the mutual lax travel between the Bahamas and Florida/the US, usually they just “need passports and printed police records” if flying but because all airports are shutdown, the only options is via ferry. This was CBP’s response. UPDATE: (9/10/19) latest information from CBP courtesy of Brian Entin.
Reports of Oil spills in Grand Bahama
Undocumented Haitians in the Bahamas have been mistreated on the islands for years, many of them reside in the Abacos. Many Bahamians speculate this is the reason why the Bahamas goverment is giving inaccurate numbers of deaths. Many Haitians are being scapegoated of looting in Abaco. (Note: Antihaitianismo, although commonly tied to the DR, is a common thing throughout ALL of the Caribbean and Florida. Read more about that here and here.)
residents of Abaco islands send aid to Grand Bahamas
Where to send supplies/ monitory donations:
Bahamas Hurricane Relief (Monitary donations) NOTE: put pressure on the cruise line industry and Caribbean hotel industries, harass them. They’re vile, leechy scum. they should not be asking for donations. they have profited COUNTLESS amounts of money from Bahamas tourism and tourism to other Caribbean islands. It’s APPALING what they’re doing and are barely giving the bare minimum. Royal Caribbean and Disney Cruises especially.
Miami-Dade Cares (for drop off locations in Miami Dade only. They have other links for monetary donations.)
National Association of the Bahamas (if you want to send money, run by Bahamians living in the Miami Metro Area)
Bahamas Strong (If you live in Miami Metro Area only. emergency and primary supplies only, no monitary donations. Note: do not donate to the Red Cross, they provide a link to the Bahamas RC.)
Food for the Poor (Broward County)
HeadKnowles (link below)
If any Haitians on the island or Florida/other diaspora know sources on how to help the Haitian community in the Bahamas, please include any!
I know Puerto Ricans and Virgin Islanders especially are also wanting to help the Bahamas and are watching this news closely, please put information down below.

(I know I’ve linked a video from Bahamas Press, however, some of their reports seem to be incorrect. Also a few of their videos are very inflammatory/hateful towards Haitians.)
Bahamians, if you have any reporters from your country you want to add, please do so. Most of the ones I put here are south Floridians/Southern US and Caribbean journalists who primarily cover hurricanes.
Here’s a map of the Bahamas so y’all know where the areas were impacted most (The Abacos and Grand Bahama island. I remember seeing some people from southern islands say they were impacted too but I can’t find much info unfortunately).
🚨ATTENTION IF YOU LIVE IN SOUTH FLORIDA🚨:
Most major schools are doing donation drives. go check out your local elementary/middle/high schools, community college or university’s Student Life center. Idk if other parts of Florida are doing these drives, but I would recommend asking, please.
In Miami-Dade County: all fire stations are accepting primary supplies. Broward, Monroe and Palm Beach counties: I suggest you check if your fire stations are doing the same. Here is a list of all the places accepting primary care donations in Miami Dade.

Thank you to @houseofangelus @bahamabhava and @michaelitaliano for the corrections and link!
One more thing: the Bahamas is not part of either the US or the UK so stop making those stupid ass comments you geography incompetent clowns.
FUERZA BAHAMAS!! 🇧🇸
