Finnish fans threw their flags on the pitch to be used as cover for Christian from the cameras. Finnish fans chanted Christian’s name and Danish fans shouted Eriksen right back to them. This is so much bigger than the game.
just read tix’s instagram post and it was so moving. when he takes off his glasses, he can’t see anything and loses control of his facial, vocal and throat muscles (according to his post). he managed to sing amazingly without his glasses which makes me speechless. made me love his performance even more. i really hope he does well!
i can understand the past winner getting automatically but having the 4 countries who support the most financially is so fucking unfair
lots of the eurovision countries can’t compete with the big 5 when it comes to money. if any of the big 5 win over cyprus or malta imma riot. (except for maybe italy cuz that shits amazing)
just watched the eurovision semi final 2 and DENMARK DIDNT GET THROUGH????? WHAT THE FUCK? AND MOLDOVA DID? im pissed now. i loved denmark. a song in full danish with the performers giving wham/80s vibes! it made me so happy.
but i’m so happy finland and portugal got through :) (i kinda wanted estonia as well but it is what it is)
also isn’t it against the rules for flo rida to perform with san marino? he’s famous and he’s not even from san marino. isn’t he american? can someone check this??
[ID: several pictures about the situation in Palestine, reading as follows:
1. A screenshot of a caption from Instagram by @/noor__saleh, reading: “I need everyone to share or repost this or whatever. Please do not skip reading this caption. The Israeli government has bombed the journalism office in Gaza. Natanyahu has come out to say the next few hours will not be easy. Israel completely controls the rhetoric right now. Gaza has been without electricity and supplies. Hama’s commanders died days ago and Gaza has requested a ceasefire that has been (in caps) shut down. This is going to be a massacre the likes of which may have never been seen before. Please share this and get the word out. (in caps) Israel controls all the media right now. The only media they cannot control is social media and we are still being censored by Instagram. By Facebook. By TikTok. Please do not let the Israeli government vilify Palestinians even more.” Over this caption, in large text, is written, “This is the most important caption I’ve ever written. Please share it.”
2. A tweet by @/drosepali, reading, “Does everyone know how severe the bombing in Gaza are right now?! People are calling it worse than all 3 wars combined. They’re tweeting out as if it’s their last words. Families in Gaza are all sleeping in the same room so if they die, they die together. #GazaUnderAttack.”
3. A tweet by Eman Basher, reading: “Tonight, I put the kids to sleep in our bedroom. So that when we die, we die together and no one would live to mourn the loss of another. #GazaUnderAttack.”
4. A tweet by minahil, reading, “Palestinians posted those videos for a reason. They want us to flood the internet. They want the help of social media. So, show your support. In a world where they’ve been left alone, stand up for them. It’s all they’re asking for - the bare minimum.”
5. Another tweet by Farah, which reads: “If the Palestinians themselves are saying that media coverage is the only thing helping them, who are you to say posting on socials won’t contribute towards change? Fix up.”
6. A last tweet by Osha Mahmoud, reading, “If you thought posting on social media was doing nothing, maybe ask yourself why Israeli forces felt the need to destroy a building housing international media offices in Gaza Strip.”
as of 22nd April 2021 we have about 16.3M new cases and a death toll of 187K . Only about 1.4% of the population has been fully vaccinated yet.
on top of that, we've been facing a major shortage in oxygen supply (to the point where the govt has decided to airlift oxygen from other nations), a shortage in hospital beds and services. The numbers keep rising and with the spread of the new strain, the scenario has transformed into something deadlier than ever.
our infrastructures are falling apart and we need all the help possible at this very moment so the nation can be atleast saved when there's still a chance. I've already lost two of my friends, a teacher and family to the second wave and I can only imagine how much worse it can get. so i would like to take this opportunity to link in some donation posts below–

Getting the word out at this time of crisis matters.
the covid situation in India is extremely bad right now. there are 200k+ new cases every single day, there's a SEVERE oxygen shortage in hospitals, and less than two percent of the country is vaccinated. I've had two covid deaths in the building I live in.
our government does not care.
I'm aware most of this site and my followers live outside India, so here's what you can do.
- if you're in the US you can use this link to find your representative and then contact them asking them to support the suspension of vaccine patents. here's an email template, though PHONE CALLS are more effective.
- this is the UK link to find your MP
- https://peoplesvaccine.org/take-action/ has more things you can do and resources to educate yourself
- this is a constantly updating Google Doc listing fundraisers accepting international donations . It includes organisation distributing food, oxygen cylinders, PPE, and covid kits to frontline workers and vulnerable people.
345k+ new cases of covid today in india!! in a single day!! twitter and instagram are our healthcare system rn!! we're short on icu beds, oxygen cylinders, covid vaccines and drugs!! we have no slots in incremation grounds to respectfully do the last rites needed for our dead!! patients are dying outside hospitals because there are!! no!! beds!! patients are dying inside ambulances!! and the states that are claiming to have enough resources rn are on their way to have a shortage of the same!! healthcare workers are being stretched thin!! we're all facing an acute mental health crisis rn!! meanwhile our central govt is doing too little too late!! after spending months doing election rallies and giving a green light to religious festivals (with hundreds of thousands of attendees) up until last week, they've finally decided to wake up and start paying attention to the covid crisis and it!! is!! not!! enough!!
if you would like to help, check out this publicly sourced document that is collating and constantly updating mutual aid fundraisers. please please amplify and donate to even any one of these causes!! especially people outside of india: your money matters! as of 24th april, 2021, 1 USD = 75 Indian rupees, 1 euro = 90 INR so your money is extremely valuable and it will save lives!
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.
