i never talk about these things but i canât remain silent.
i know tumblr doesnât give a SHIT when things happen in countries outside the âmost popular onesâ (such as the usa & england). itâs true, donât lie to me. yâall donât give A FUCK. not every issue and problem in said countries gets the appropriate exposure but in general shit shows up on the news WORLD FREAKING WIDE. you set up donations, you help out, your spread the word, you say âpray for xââŠâŠ
southern europe is burning.Â
people are dying - at home, on the road, trying to run away, in their cars.
yesterday my country had 300 active fires.
people are losing EVERYTHING they own.
i have a friend that is on a train right now passing through places that have been burnt to the ground and she says the smoke is so intense itâs getting inside the train and she can barely breathe.
and yet, even though several people (myself included) have been trying to bring awareness to what has been happening in southern europe⊠what we get from most of you, those not part of the countries suffering, is silence. we donât ask for money, we donât ask for shit other than a reblog to spread awareness⊠something you can delete in 24/48hrs if you wish.Â
i donât know what to tell you. iâm angry. iâm frustrated. iâm disappointed. i feel like iâm screaming into the void. âa reblog does nothingâ - you know thatâs a damn lie, you know exposure always helps, you know people start paying attention when posts on social media become popular. my country in particular is a small one, we get ZERO exposure. yâall are only starting to figure out we even fucking exist bc of the shit weâve been winning lately.Â
but hell, if the EU doesnât give a shit, why should some user on tumblr dot com?
again, i donât know what to tell you so iâll let the images speak for themselves:Â
