i never talk about these things but i canāt remain silent.
i know tumblr doesnāt give a SHIT when things happen in countries outside theĀ āmost popular onesā (such as the usa & england). itās true, donāt lie to me. yāall donāt 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 FREAKINGĀ WIDE. you set up donations, you help out, your spread the word, you sayĀ āpray for xāā¦ā¦
southern europe is burning.Ā
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 itās 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 europeā¦ what we get from most of you, those not part of the countries suffering, is silence. we donāt ask for money, we donāt ask for shit other than a reblog to spread awarenessā¦ something you can delete in 24/48hrs if you wish.Ā
i donāt know what to tell you. iām angry. iām frustrated. iām disappointed. i feel like iām screaming into the void. āa reblog does nothingā - you know thatās 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. yāall are only starting to figure out we even fucking exist bc of the shit weāve been winning lately.Ā
but hell, if the EU doesnāt give a shit, why should some user on tumblr dot com?
again, i donāt know what to tell you so iāll let the images speak for themselves:Ā
