So, India is dying.

Look, I know a good number of you are from the US and things aren't amazing there either, but my country is literally on the brink of collapse. So I'd love it if we could talk about that for a minute.

If you can't do anything else, please just read and reblog.

A second COVID wave has taken out the healthcare system. There are no more hospital beds. There's an oxygen shortage. There's a critical vaccine shortage. The Central Government has thrown its hands up and is passing the baton to the State Governments to do what they can.

There are over 16 million covid cases. A record 330,000 new cases reported yesterday - comparable to the US at its peak. 187,000 dead as of today.

There is no plan.

Mass cremations are taking place. The cremation grounds are running day and night and they are short on wood. People are watching their loved ones die while waiting for a hospital bed, and then they're unable to give them the proper burial rights.

Hospitals are overwhelmed. Patients are being confined, two to a bed. They're the lucky ones.

We are on the verge of people dying in the streets.

This is the second-most populous country in the world. The largest democracy. A country that encapsulates over 15,000 years of recorded human history and has endured everything from famine to invasion to colonisation.

We might be at the end. This might be the thing that does us in.

People are dying.

People are dying.

People are dying and there is no plan.

More good news? Variants are popping up. A double mutation strain has shown up. It is resistant to current vaccines. This will not go away. This is the devastation they warned of when the anti-maskers were out protesting the minor inconvenience of covering their face in public.

My country is on the verge of an emergency state. Our government has failed us. This is as dire a situation as it ever could be.

Look. I don't do much with my life. I write fics, some of you have read them and that's pretty much it. I spend my days with my head in the clouds because that's where I like to be.

But two days ago, my grandmother tested positive, had to be taken to hospital and the ambulance caught fire.

She barely made it to the urgent care she needs.

So, here I am, using whatever meager platform I have to cobble this request together. Because I have to do something.

If you can, donate.

Or spread the word.

Help. Please.

[gryffindorshit]

cant donate, so the least i can do is rebblog this. those who are able to help, please do.

sirius: THAT WAS OUR PLACE I FOUND IT FIRST I MADE THE JOKES YOU TELL TO HER WHEN SHES WITH YOUUUU, DO YOU GET DEJA VU WHEN SHES WITH YOUUU??

Peter: whats up with him?

Remus: James just asked Lily on a date and she said yes

[gryffindorshit]

found this on pinterest the other day and i couldnt stop myself fron recreating it- i really like how it turned out tbh

[gryffindorshit]

James Potter, the guy who took his best friend and treated him like a brother after he escaped his abusive household.

James Potter, the guy who supported and risked his life every full moon after finding out his friend was a werewolf.

James Potter, the guy who was always loyal to the ones who loved.

James Potter, the guy who joined the Order right after leaving Hogwarts, because that was the right thing to do.

James Potter, the guy who loved his wife and son so much that he tried to give Lily and Harry a chance to escape, and died wandless at the age of 21

Happy Birthday to James Potter, one of the most underrated and amazing character :)

[plaidos]

i don’t like that JKR’s transmisogyny has become a footnote tbh like. any time you bring up that JKR is transphobic (and that it’s present in her books) people just tell you “we’ll ya but we already know she’s racist” like. yes we should recognise that as well, but Rowling has been given awards by the BBC for being transphobic. she has successfully pushed for a future where hormone blockers for teenagers will be likely made illegal, and she consistently accuses trans women of being dangerous to children. just admit that you too hate trans women if you don’t think this stuff is relevant lol

[gryffindorshit]

aahhHHHHH HAPPY BIRTHDAY REMUS LUPIN!!! LITERALLY ONE OF THE BEST CHARACTERS EVER I LOVE YOU

[gryffindorshit]

"harry, your father was one of my best friends and a good person. everyone is an idiot at 15. he grew out of it"

yeah, i think people tend to forget that line

[gryffindorshit]

in honor of today being Ron Weasleys birthday, i just want to remind you that Ron Weasley is the most loyal, caring, amazing and awesome person. Harry woulve died in the first book without ron AND hermione. Happy bday Ron :)

MUTUAL AID REQUEST: Help Dean stay afloat!

Image descriptions will be after a cut at the end of the post.

Background: My friend Dean is a 34-year-old disabled Black man from Washington, DC. He was diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes in 2019. He has been struggling with chronic food insecurity and the malnutrition has led to further issues with his bones, blood pressure, and bladder. He currently has stable housing but spent much of 2020 housing insecure.

In April 2020 he was in a car accident that left him with broken ribs and severe back injury (the last picture in this post is from April 2020, of him in the stretcher right after the accident). He went on disability benefits after the accident. In October 2020 he came down with COVID-19 and spent 3 weeks in hospital, but fortunately made a full recovery.

The situation: Dean’s benefits expired in January and the process of reinstating them will take 3 to 6 months. That means Dean has zero income right now. He also doesn’t have health insurance coverage. Right now his goal is to raise $900 for his living expenses while his benefits are paused.

Donations will go to rent/utilities, medical bills and medication costs (including metformin (fourth pic) and insulin for his diabetes), and the fresh food Dean needs for his health to stabilize. He’s had to go days without eating at times which is very dangerous for him.

Where to donate:

P*yp*l: [email protected]

V*nmo: @ Dean-Phanor

C*sh*pp: $topsecret1986 - not preferred right now because there’s been some issues with the account but I wanted to list it because that should be resolved soon. V*nmo and P*yp*l are both good options.

Dean’s birthday is coming up on March 9th! Please spread this post even if you can’t donate yourself, last week I made a smaller post for Dean to cover an individual medication cost and we got an amazing response, please keep that energy up and help my friend survive! If you have any questions feel free to DM me.

IDs under cut:

Keep reading

Justice for Cho Chang

Alright, hear me out. 

Cho Chang has always been one of the most controversial characters of the Harry Potter series because of how she was portrayed to be so stereotypically East Asian - to the point where her full name is literally composed of two Chinese last names (we’ve all heard of that discourse before). 

What has always annoyed me the most, however, is that Cho Chang in the books has 100% more potential for charisma and personality than what the movies constrict her character to have.

First of all, Cho is a huge jock. Need I remind you that she was the only girl in the Ravenclaw Quidditch team up until her 5th year and has been an avid fan of the Tutshill Tornados since childhood? You can bet my boy Cedric developed a crush on her from getting his ass kicked on the Quidditch field.

Not only is Cho a jock, but she is also known to be one of the most popular girls at school which, to me, adds to the interpretation that she was more extroverted than introverted prior to Cedric’s death. In the books, she is often seen hanging out with groups of people and being almost intimidating from how cool she is.

Moreover, and probably most importantly, Cho was able to cast the Patronus Charm which required a huge amount of control over her emotions. Let’s not forget that during the time that she did, my girl was dealing with:

1) Trauma from her boyfriend being murdered by the freakin’ Dark Lord.

2) Losing her friends and seeing her grades going downhill as a consequence of said trauma and depression.

3) Being part of a secret organization preparing her to go to freakin’ war. An organization that could’ve ultimately cost her mother’s job at the Ministry, if I may add. 

Therefore, the fact that she was able to cast a whole ass Patronus Charm despite being obviously very tormented by her feelings of grief, anxiety and sadness is, to me, super badass and remarkable. 

So let us not carry the poor portrayal of Cho Chang from the movies, but rather celebrate the characterization that she deserves. 

When you think about it, Cho and Ginny are very similar in how they are generally disliked from their portrayal in the movies. They really went from being badass Quidditch players in the books to silent love interests on screen. 

Can we get as many voices calling out the unfair representation of Cho in the movies as we’ve gotten for Ginny?

So in conclusion,

LESS of :

MORE of:

(Edit: Also, her Patronus is a swan??? The birds known for their beauty but also for how dangerous they can be when they attack you!!)
