every year small towns and indigenous communities across canada are burnt to nothing by horrific wildfires and americans go on the internet to complain about it and blame us bc the smoke has spread to their state. i’m so tired.
go yell at mark carney or your own local politicians about climate change and urge them to do more to stop it. the namaygoosisagagun first nation had their community destroyed today. you can find a link to donate to them here. donate to your local food bank. go to the beach next week when the smoke clears and you don’t have to think about it anymore while the people who’s lives have been destroyed will have to pick up the pieces and try to move forward when we are already in a huge cost of living crisis across the country.
rbing with other places you can donate to to support those impacted by the fires!
true north aid (an organization aimed at providing support to remote/northern indigenous people in canada)
canadian red cross wildfire fund
ontario spca and humane society (links to their donate page specifically aimed at supporting pets and animals in areas impacted by the fires)
and the anishinabek nation’s page where you can donate to support the namaygoosisagagun nation who had their land destroyed by the fires is still accepting donations
seeing news about the fallout remaster announcement feels like cruel irony to me
microsoft games are a bds boycott target, and because both bethesda + obsidian are owned by microsoft, this includes the games published by them.
microsoft is gonna further profit from a new virtual playground of ~post-apocalyptic bombed out towns in the desert~ while contributing to creating bombed out apocalyptic conditions in gazan towns, by collaborating with israel on so many fronts that bds calls microsoft the most complicit company in palestinian genocide.
and nostalgia-baited fans will still buy it bc playing pretend in a virtual world thats a knockoff of what real life people are currently facing – a virtual world funded by that very suffering of those real life people – is more important to them than simply playing a different game
This is not exclusively about Fallout, but it's a great place to spark the discussion. No matter if you're excited or not for the incoming Fallout projects, whether it's the new Fallout game or the remakes for Fallout 3 and New Vegas, we shouldn't forget that we're receiving these news now as a smokescreen to distract the public from the layoffs at Microsoft.

Unfortunately, this is nothing new in the industry. A few days ago we received this communication from ZA/UM:
Source.
ZA/UM, yes, the same company that stole the company and intellectual property of its original developers and creators and now they're "sharing the difficult news" with the next blow to its workers.
People need to always keep in mind that a company doesn't equal the workers nor the art. They're the ones who need the workers, not the other way around, but it's easy to forget the power of collective action. Time and time again we see it in the videogame industry, how companies will shamelessly subtract value from the workers and then dispose of them. Despite the all time hype the Fallout franchise is experiencing Microsoft still has no issues in getting rid of its workers. It has happened before with other companies, like Ubisoft announcing layoffs across multiple studios, and announcing even more in Ubisoft Barcelona even after the record sales of Assassin's Creed Resynced.
If you love videogames, please, stand at least in solidarity with the people who make them. In this landscape of corporate greed, AI and a constant erosion of worker's rights we need more than ever to stand together. The best way to protest is to unionize and stand in solidarity, being together and stand shoulder to shoulder with the people who make the art and videogames we love so much.
a family can be just three living weapons and a guy whos really into birds. thats it. just three living weapons + guy whos really into birds with no kids.

DON'T LET POVERTY DECIDE WHETHER MY BABY LIVES OR DIES TODAY PLEASE.
Today, I watched baby Qais stare silently at other children playing nearby. He tried to stand and follow them, but pain forced him back to the ground. He lowered his head, and I watched my child's smile disappear.
He did not cry. He only looked at me with eyes asking a question I could not answer: "Mama, when will I be able to walk and play again?" That question shattered my heart more than anything else.
I have nothing left except this desperate plea. I am begging you as a mother whose child still dreams of walking without pain. Please donate today and help give baby Qais the chance to smile, walk, and live again.
I am begging you as a persecuted mother in Gaza, watching my baby bleed in front of me, unable to stop it. Please donate now and help me save his life before it’s too late.
Today no donations arrived, and I spent the day watching my baby Qais suffer without relief, feeling helpless and afraid. Please donate now and help me save him.
Every night, I promise myself I will stop begging and somehow find another way. Then morning comes, Qais still needs medicine, and I return with the same broken heart, asking for help again, please donate now.

My sister is in critical condition. She is suffering from severe bleeding, and her heart is beating dangerously slowly. Doctors have told us she needs emergency surgery to survive.
Her operation is scheduled for the day after tomorrow, but we cannot afford it. We urgently need $1,200.
Every minute we lose is a minute she may not have.
I don't know who will read this. I only know that I am asking with all my heart.
Your donation today, no matter how small, could help save her life. Please don't wait, she may not have another chance.
I am creating this campaign on behalf of my sister, who is currently in a critical medical condition and urgently needs treatment to survive
As a brother, there is no pain greater than watching someone you love suffer every single day, knowing you cannot take their pain away.
My brother has already been through surgery, endless hospital visits, and unimaginable hardship. We hoped the worst was behind us, but his journey is far from over. He still needs $1,500 to continue his treatment, receive the medications he depends on, and complete the medical care that gives him a real chance to recover.
Deadline: 21 Jul
Current Progress: $23,946 / $ 25,446
In the heart of Gaza City, amidst the turmoil of conflict and resilience, Tawfik's… Tawfik Wal needs your support for Support Tawfik Dream o
Every day we delay his treatment is another day of pain, fear, and uncertainty. Seeing him struggle while worrying about how we will afford his care is heartbreaking. We have done everything we can, but we have reached a point where we simply cannot do this alone.
Your support will help cover:
• Ongoing medical treatment
• Essential medications
• Medical supplies
• Follow-up care and rehabilitation
Every donation, no matter how small, brings my brother one step closer to recovery. If you're unable to donate, please consider sharing our fundraiser. One share could reach the person who changes everything for my brother.
Thank you for reading, for caring, and for standing with my family during one of the hardest times of our lives. Your kindness gives us hope. ❤️
