the funnest part of reading books is telling people the plot like its hot gossip

[ninanation]

Come to think of it, it really is insane that my entire country is burning alive and literally no one in the rest of the world cares. Thousands of Indians are dying every day from the heat, it's 45+ degrees in multiple areas, the government couldn't give two fucks, we're getting severe warnings and red alerts, and not a soul outside of South Asia is speaking about it because why would you ever care about brown people

[ninanation]

please keep talking about how Becky from Maryland doesn't like the rising gas prices. It's clearly the more pressing issue.

[creacher-art]

USA folks, that is a consistent temperature range hitting 113°. Death Valley temperatures. In Banda, it hovered between 116°-118° (47°-48° C) for a week straight.

This has been happening all month with little to no international media attention. Here are a few organizations you can check out for resources or to support:

ActionAid India

SEEDS India

GlobalGiving

Raise India (Project Tapan)

🏳️‍🌈🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🌈🏳️‍🌈🌈🏳️‍🌈🌈🌈 im so happy my daughter is back to normal shes excited to go to pride. Just trying to at least have something normal this weekend and be happy 😊. We both have been overwhelmed by life and this weekend was a trying one for both of us. But we are planning to sashay our way downtown and be the black queens we both know we are hunty . Once we can get some sunscreen and food for the day😅

[oldbronxlady]

$0/$70

I don't need to eat it's ok but if could get help so my daughter can we eat we are out here that would great she's already saying she's hungry I fed her before we left home i thought that would fill her up for a while but I guess not and just some sunscreen for her

$0/$40

I don't need to eat I was asking for both of us to get food while we were out here but it's fine I just wanna feed her and get the sunscreen for her that's all . I can just drink water from the fountain at the park no worries

If after an hour no one helps us we'll just cut our day short and I'll take her home. She's enjoying it but I'm not gonna have her out here for the whole parade if she can't eat ya know and drink something to stay hydrated. I hate to be the bad guy but hey

She asked me for food again so I said ok time to go home now I folded up my chair and she asked why I said so u can eat something. She asked why she could get a hot dog I said I don't have the money and she said she hates me and wanted me to die and we can't do nothing fun all we do is be in the stupid house . And she's mad now. Nothing I can do yeah it hurts to hear her tell me she hates me and wants me to die but I can't let her starve cause she's having fun . That's the end of the good day I guess 😔...

She went up to someone to ask for food and told them in too poor to feed her smh . This shit is getting out of hand. Now she's refusing to walk and she's just sitting in someone's stoop smh oh God . So now I'm just sitting here while she goes through her tantrum I guess.....

I just spent 10 minutes arguing with a stranger cause they think I'm starving her and threatened to go get the police apparently in a piece of shit mother according to them and told her to come with them and I had to stop her from going with them .... This shit is getting embarrassing oh God . Some people got him out of my face and now she sitting back on the stoop and still refused to walk to so we can go home and she can eat . Like I know u wanna stay but we can't I have no money and I'm trying to feed you but ur being stubborn and want to stay here and eat but I can't afford to do that . Like I'm tried to give you a good day ok so now ur hungry let's go home. Either we stay here and u don't eat or we leave so u can't eat I'm sorry I'm too poor to do both. I can't lose to win..... Like I get it youre a kid so u don't understand I get it I get that u see the other kids that are here eating and everything I get that I want that too but I can't do that right now so I'm tried to compromise with you we had an outing I tried to get help to feed you so we could stay but I didn't get any help so we gotta go home now but she's not understanding that she just sees the other families eating and stuff and not being able to do that and getting mad about it .....

Now I have a phone in my face they are posting me on their social media calling me a deadbeat mom now ..... I just have my head down typing.

Wow someone just threw something on me while they were walking by and called me a bitch and high fives these guys and gave her a slice of pizza

I'm scared these people have been on live lying on me and saying I'm starving my kid and I had to delete my old Facebook cause I got over a hundred messages in less then 30 minutes and I'm scared that someone might dox me or hurt me on public transportation cause someone just threw some shit on me from what they posted. I need to a cab back home asap I don't know what else is gonna happen I wanna grab her and the fuck out of her I don't know who else that on their live or wherever they posted it would do something worse to me of follow on pubic transportation . For my safety can I please get a can home

$60 to get home I was just assaulted out here and I don't know who else will hurt me

The cops are they will stand here til I get a cab but I need to hurry up cause they said they can't stand there forever so please someone can get outta here cause on top of pee I got some sauce thrown on me

"but I didnt learn about the usa's wrongs in school 😢 we don't know anything cause they didn't teach us anything 😢" well no one in my school in india told me that our country is a regionally hegemonic war criminal you're just entitled and insultingly uncurious

[nyantara]

in fact they told us completely propagandised nonsense about how pre colonial hindu kingdoms were extremely peaceful but were forced to defend themselves against regular invasions solely by muslims. this is something v easily contradicted by the foundational story of ashoka's turn to buddhist dhamma being the brutality of the kalinga war.

[nyantara]

the point being made is school, everywhere in the world is a deeply political project and is marshalled for the purpose of nation building. you're not going to hear about the sins of your nation in any serious way at school most anywhere in the world, and expecting that it should have betrays a certain lack of uhh, street smarts. its for children and run by the govt.

hi guys my home country was just hit by devastating earthquakes causing horrible building collapses in major cities. the government, police, and emergency forces have been completely absent for any and all rescue efforts. for days its been civilians digging their loved ones out of rubble. the government is now blocking access to certain collapse zones and halting aid efforts- so we are needing to work twice as hard and need even more resources since the govt is failing us so badly.

anything you have helps. Donation centers and benefits are cropping up around the world- i know NYC, DC, Chicago, Toronto and Miami and many others all have donation hubs and drives happening in the next few days. Physical donations are a great way to help and offers immediate and material support. Look into whats going on in a city near you!!!

If you can only contribute financially:

International Red Cross: Venezuela Earthquake Appeal

Sun Risas Foundation: On-the-ground rescue fund

If you speak Spanish, you can remotely volunteer as a language interpreter for non-spanish speaking-rescuers

Red de Voluntarios Intérpretes — Venezuela

Coordinación de intérpretes voluntarios para brigadas de rescate internacionales.

AND LASTLY If you happen to be a hands-on person who does well in emergency situations located in south america/willing to travel, we're needing people badly- look into how you can volunteer with an organization to get in and start helping from the ground. lots of rescue missions are dispatching from colombia right now.

[9fruit]

still not too late to help: survivors can be found up to several weeks after the quakes & many survivors are left unhoused and injured in need of support. so please keep reblogging & donating & volunteering! it all helps

[vamptual]

i'm sure most of you must've heard about the earthquakes in venezuela yesterday (june 24th). the magnitudes were 7.2 and 7.5 respectively; while felt throughout the country the most affected zones have been la guaira and caracas, with some places being reduced to dust and the number of injures and casualties climbing up. this is not a country that's prepared to deal with any, let alone this, kind of emergency, so any help that could be extended to us would be really appreciated.

i haven't seen many options for people outside to donate. easiest way is this fundraiser from the I Love Venezuela Foundation

this post has several resources for people abroad, some i've previously added on this post. i would personally suggest focusing on the contacts in the first and last slides as that seems to me the quickest way to get the money to collection centers

I gotta leave my house ..... I got doxxed . The cops came banging on my door and put a gun in my face saying they got reports that I'm attacking my children and I have a weapon which is total bullshit my daughter was sleep and I was just sitting quietly on the couch .And someone left a box of shit on my front door after they left 🫩😕..... I made a report with the cops that showed up to my house well when they took the gun out of my face. They advised me to not stay here because I don't know peoples intentions and I don't wanna chance something worse happening by not taking this seriously. I don't feel safe here . I need to go to the welfare office and talk to my worker today and let her know the situation and find out if there is something that can be done especially with my daughter being with me. I don't want any more harm brought to me . I'm scared to take public transportation . Cause I don't know who is apart of this and I'd be a sitting duck on the train or bus and it would be easy to follow me. I don't know where they found my address but someone did . This shit is getting dangerous now seriously I need to figure out some type of safety for us. But I definitely need to speak to my welfare working about my options for other housing. These fucking people are evil as shit like they really are trying to destroy my life because of what my daughter said and then they created their own narrative about who I was and now a whole bunch of strangers online are coming for me. This is literally the only place online that's safe for me.

I don't care about the other first aid I need at this point all I care about is getting outta here and finding somewhere else to stay . I'm packing a bag for me and my daughter and if I could get help getting away from here I'm gonna use the back door instead of the front of the building.

$100 for carfare , food , to do small load of clothes wherever we go , toiletries for me and my daughter cause I don't know where we will end up tonight but I ain't coming back here .

[oldbronxlady]

The police just left again for the second time they have ski masks on so I can't see their faces the second time the kept kicking the door after they were messing with the knob and it wouldn't open the. They can away . Me and my daughter are huddled in the room cause I don't want anyone to hear us through the door. The cops told me to leave hours ago but I have no way to leave and my welfare worker isn't answering her phone

We have been sitting ducks for 3 hours they already tried to kick my down down . I'm scared that next time they will find a way to make it inside

$10/$100

We need $90 more plz I'm begging our lives are on the line

Me and my daughter are in the backroom quietly eating trying not to make a lot of noise 3 fucking times people showed up 2 times they tried to get in. I don't want the 3rd time they actually make it in with us here. I need to get the fuck out of here. I don't know what their intentions are and I don't wanna find out plz God plz we need 90 bucks more I can run to a cab and get a room and then take it from there plz . I don't wanna die over some internet bullshit

I have been trying to leave for 9 hours. In that time people have tried to break into my house the cops came 3 times and someone left shit on my door. I'm fucking begging for help for us to get out of here my daughter is jumping at any slight noise and to be honest so am I. Im moving around my house in complete silence cause I don't want anyone to know I'm in here. I'm fucking terrified and I wanna leave !!!!!

My daughter so scared she threw up we can't even eat cause we're so rattled . We tried to eat the paranoia is way to high. I'm fucking begging plz oh my fucking God I don't wanna die here I don't want them to come back I don't wanna be here plz we don't deserve this plz

I've called the cops they arent very helpful plz omg it's on me get me and my daughter out of here. My plan to get us away from here doesn't work without help. Please this is my only avenue to keep us safe at this point . In losing my mind in holding back tears cause I don't wanna make a lot of noise . I'm trying to fight for me and my daughters lives please please please

Please someone care enough to see us not hurt or worse please Jesus please someone please have a heart and want a mother and daughter get out of harms way please . The world can not be this cold and evil please man

Fuuuuck the 4th fucking time someone is trying to open my fucking door wtf . Man I've been begging to get out of here we are in the closet now I've alerted the Police for the 4th time. 9 fucking hours bro I've been begging for me and daughter it get out of here and no gives a fuck we fucking die wtf. They keep coming back and this time they are holding a crowbar they are determined to get in here . I wish to God someone cared and we wouldn't have been here for this I hope to God they don't get through that door this time

Thank goodness the deadbolt held up . A neighbor caught them and they ran out the building

My daughter peed on herself 😕 my baby is so fucking scared damn fuck . This is fucking crazy she's shaking crying and she fucking peed on herself she's scared to come out of the closet .

We are trapped here 😔

I can't clean up the pee she's doesn't wanna come out unless we are leaving she's scared to walk to the bathroom so I'll just stay on the pissy closet with her then. It's just me and her against the world . We'll just stay here for whoever long she feels unsafe . Fuck it we got each other. Nobody needs to care . It's me and my baby I got her back and if they do come back I'll make sure she is hidden well and I'll go out there I'm tired of running now I'll find some weapons and hope for the best if they take me out so be it as long as my baby is safe

It's almost 12 hours I've begged for a way out and each time they come back it's worse . I'm just gonna hold my baby and cry with her and wait to see our fate . She tired . I'm tired. The world left us here to die

If they do come back and get in this time to hurt us I want it to be known that I reached out in every avenue I could for help . The world turned their backs on us . So I didn't just give up I fought for us for as long as I could . We been though way to much at least if this will be it we don't be alone. The cruel thing is that we might meet our demise over $90 we're not even worth that.

they were able to kick in the bottom of the door this time . The dead bolt is the only reason that they haven't been able to break the whole door yet. The cops came yet again and once again asked me if I have somewhere I can go cause they say it isn't safe for me here and I don't so they just said when they come back just call again. These people did a Nazi salute and put a swastika on my door and said they would be back. The police said they don't have the extra men to sit in front of my building but now this is a hate crime. So when they finally get in cause the door is pushed on the bottom I know they definitely are here to hurt me

I have literal Nazis trying to fucking harm me and my child bro like plz help me I'm begging to get the fuck out of here every time they come back they make more of a dent in the door . I don't wanna fucking die plz Jesus what the hell dobi have to go through to get help I'm literally about to die

Some. Fucking body please I don't me want me and my kid to have to deal with these fucking Nazi fucks again. It sees like the world is ok with Nazis harming me and my child. Like omg why is every one ok with 2 black people being harmed by Nazis . My child is laying in her piss . We are both severely traumatized. Like please Jesus someone have some humanity to help us get to safety plz !!!!!!

15 hours later 🫩 and we still in the closet just waiting for them to come back cause no one cares that Nazis are coming to kill us ..... Welp Nazis are cool I guess now fuck it. I asked for help that's what they say u should do . But if the world doesn't care if u live or die what do u do then?
