the raven cycle is so funny if you’ve read call down the hawk. its like “unknowable” this, “repressed” that. bro declan’s in the attic as we speak. you wanna talk about unknowable?
You may have heard of what happened in Lebanon today and if not, basically, there was a big explosion in Beirut that affected many cities, destroyed shops, homes, cars, caused many injuries and deaths. The cause is uncertain.
As a fellow lebanese myself (that also lives there), today was absolutely terrifying, probably the scariest moments of my life. We heard a deafening sound as the floors were shaking. Some of us thought it was an attack, others thought it was an earthquake. As soon as it ended many expected a second one, which luckily never happened.
Here's a video of what happened that was sent to me, there are also many others that you can find online.
Windows were broken, doors wrecked, cars flipped over, buildings collapsed, people hit by flying or falling objects, and unfortunately, many didn't make it out alive.
We were one of the lucky ones, our families and friends were all safe and our homes were fine.
Some people couldn't even get out of the crumbling builings, so we saw corpses being pulled out, although some people survived the crash. But wherever we looked, there was blood, poeple were half covered in it, their shirts, pants, hair, everything. And that sight was traumatizing.
We watched the news with elders severely injured, children with blood-spattered shirts and people in pain that couldn't get in the hospitals because they were full.
Some people are missing. Just try to imagine the pain and fear their families and friends are feeling.
Articles about what happened, there are a lot more
Officials expect death toll to rise after huge blast rips through Lebanon's capital.
The explosion took place at the port shortly before 19:00 local time (18:00 CET) with a large cloud of smoke billowing over the city. Eyewit
Not only are we in the middle of a pandemic, but Lebanon is also going through a very serious economical crisis. To give you an example, before, $1 equaled 1 500 lebanese pounds. Nowadays, $1 equals more than 7 000 lebanese pounds. Not to mention that we obviously don't have any dollars at disposition, so yeah we're fucked.
People are hungry, homeless, unemployed. And even if they are getting paid, it'll be useless since the prices of everything went up because they were affected by the economical fiasco.
Important additional information
Today, I heard my 7 year old cousins scream in fear that they were going to die. I saw my aunt shaking, worried that her children won't survive. I saw my dad freak out while trying to reassure us when we both knew that we were uncertain about the next minutes of our lives. I heard the panic in the trembling voices of my family and friends as they couldn't believe what had just happened. I thought my loved ones and I were going to die in the next seconds.
I'm never forgetting those moments and feelings.
I don't think signing petitions will help, i don't even know if the following links will help either, I just know Lebanon and it's people are desperate for anything because the future of this country is extremely uncertain.

Lebanon Needs You More Than Ever. Know more about the crisis in Lebanon, sign petitions, donate or explore volunteering opportunities.
Help families, domestic workers, and refugees in Lebanon with food and other basic needs during this economic and public health crisis
I think donating to the red cross would be the most helpful, so if you are considering it, it'd be great.
There are so many great threads on twitter about what you can do to help, just search help lebanon or something to find them. Also if you can, please donate, and as I said, the lebanese pound is pretty much worthless currently so USD is way more useful to us.
Yesterday I got kicked out of my house by my homophobic family because someone close to me told them that I was queer. It’s really hurtful because I was betrayed by close friends and then rejected immediately by my family.
I came back and most of my stuff was still in the house except for a few pieces of clothes and personal items, they won’t let me back into the house and I’m scared of being assaulted. My friend offered to let me stay with them for a few days, but after that I’ll be effectively homeless with no money, food, or shelter.
I’m trying to figure out what to do and trying to contact as many people as I know who may let me stay with them, but I’m very scared and uncertain.
My paypal is paypal.me/sofijaGV please donate anything if you can I will be forever grateful. Please signal boost if you can Ireally need the help of the LGBTQ community right now.
The cheapest room I can find is around 70 bucks a night, I need to be out of my friends house by the 4th and so I need to stay somewhere from the 4th to the 14th when it’s my payday. I need 710 just to cover the price of a room. This doesn’t include food but I can use my overdraft for that and go hungry for a while.
So far, I’ve collected 95.11 out of 710. I get paid on the 14th and my pay cheque should be about 300/400 dollars which is good for another weeks stay. My uni friends have offered me a place at their rental starting September 2nd until I can get back on my feet. Thank you so much for everyone who has donated and reblogged so far you’re saving my life.
richard gansey is just So Good. irresistibly charming. a little oblivious. a little in love with a dead welsh king. a lot in love with all of his friends. can and will and did die for them
