mattykinsel replied to your post “quasi-normalcy: “All of human civilisation at risk from Canadian oil…”
All of human civilization? I meean
Yes, all of human civilization is at risk from climate change. This is not conjecture or exaggeration.
Areas around the equator will be uninhabitable by humans if we don’t stop this. This includes entire countries and many large cities will have to be permanently evacuated.
That is over 1 billion people who will be forced out of their home countries and become refugees, because the high temperartures will be incompatible with the functioning of the human body:
The effects of oil and carbon pollutions don’t just…stay in the area where it’s produced that’s not how it works.
Literally…
i want to run away…but like in ghibli movie. like i take a block of cheese a loaf of bread and some apples and wander through the flower-specked mountains wrapped up in a shawl and i happen to wander into a moving castle and fall in love with a cute wizard
me (deep in the woods, dragging dufflebag of Kraft Singles™ and hopelessly lost): where’s totoro
i wish i could delete myself from everyones memory and just start over. i wish i could just go away forever
The state of Kerala, India, is experiencing one of the worst floods since 1924. Over 20,000 houses have been damaged completely and 10,000 km of roads have been destroyed. Essential services have taken a hit, with shortages in medical supplies and drinking water reported from several places. A red alert has been issued in 11 of the 14 districts.
324 people have lost their lives since the rains started on May 29. Over half of them - 190 across 14 districts - have died in the last few days. Over 314,000 people have been moved to relief camps across the state with many more still missing or unreachable.
AnboduKochi is a non-profit organisation that has been one of the largest groups to provide relief support in Kochi, they need cash to transport all the donations they have been getting and make sure it gets to the relief camps.
keralarescue.in is an initiative by Govt. of Kerala, Kerala State IT Mission and IEEE Kerala Section for effective collaboration and communications between authorities, volunteers and public
Google has put out a consolidated and pin-dropped list of centres providing rescue ops, including shelters, food and water, medicine and essentials, volunteers, Jeep rescue and ambulances, among others.

Hi! I am not sure if any of my followers saw, but I’ve been saying it is pretty bad for Kerala right now. (PS: I’m safe right now, and my family has moved to shelters or high-level areas).
Just in case, if you didn’t know, Kerala is a small state in the south-west part of India. We are mainly known for our cynicism, sarcasm, and our love of going to “The Gulf”. We are that part of India that had Muslims before the Mughals Invasion and Christians before the British Invasion and lived more-or-less in harmony with each other throughout. We love our socialism, our love of eating beef, and generally trying to resist the majoritarian principles of rest of the country.
And currently, Kerala is trembling under the fury of the monsoon.
There has been incessant rain for the past three weeks, and most parts of Kerala are flooded. Till yesterday , 12 out of 14 districts were on Red Alert. All 44 rivers on this small strip of land was overflowing. As the rains continued, most lakes, reservoirs, and dams got filled and 33 dams were opened. And the outflow of these dams combined with rainwater rushed through towns and cities alike.
There has been landslides, sudden top soil movement and road collapses throughout the state, but especially in hilly areas. Most bridges, roads (including National Highways) are either completely destroyed or flooded beyond use.
Ten thousands of homes have been inundated and families have moved away. People and entire cities & towns have been marooned.
This man is inside his home; neck-deep in water [he made this video and shared it through social media in an effort to get noticed and rescued]:
The Kochi International Airport is flooded and would be shut down for ten days. Railways are jammed and most roads are flooded. Most dams are open and cities have turned into lakes and rivers. The fact that there are water disputes with neighbouring states and state-level & national-level politics involved doesn’t help the common people of Kerala either.
This is not a water-tank over-flowing. It’s an entire dam that is overflowing (the Peringalkutthu dam, to be precise): .
The death toll is currently estimated to be about 300 and over 3 lakh individuals have been displaced. It is only because of high inter-connectivity and an educated population that the death toll has been under control.
And this is just the beginning:
Those who are rescued has to deal with extensive property damage.
Farmers have to deal with huge crop loss.
Most rescue shelters are running out of food and medicines.
Food shortage will continue even after the floods as most of our food comes from Tamil Nadu/Andhra Pradesh, and the roads and railways connecting the two states are flooded.
Roads, Bridges and Communication channels will have to be rebuilt.
Outbreaks of water-borne diseases as water will get contaminated
Outbreaks of mosquito-born diseases like Dengue fever as stagnant water persists.
Large sections of Kerala is flooded. Kochi has come to a halt.
Seriously, we are in big trouble. So, if you can donate, please do. Small acts of kindness goes a long way. If not, please signal boost.
Interrupting my social media break to share this post. I’m heartbroken to see the damage done and can’t imagine how much time and patience is going to be needed to rebuild the state and let people resume their normal day to day lives.
If you’re considering donating, please do. I think every bit will count.
P.S - Kodagu (Coorg) is also hit by similar floods but is receiving even less publicity than Kerala. I can’t even find any organization attempting to collect funds for flood-relief..

Another woman utterly failed by our society’s devaluation of women’s reproductive health. We can’t wait around for male doctors to decide what we need to know. This is why we need to take control and educate ourselves about our own bodies.
and here’s some comments i saw under the post. why is this a pattern?? why is this a recurring theme?? why is this information not common knowledge? what the fuck are doctors doing??
This is news to me so let’s share it so people will know!
Gross tmi: but i passed a pretty big clot after having my daughter. It was about the size of a baseball. It actually hurt worse because while 15 hours of labor opened my cervix, i passed the clot in 30 minutes. I knew it was a possibility because of my midwife and reading, but everyone Ive told after this (mostly other pregnant women) were shocked that this could happen.
In our culture, it’s much more common to do deep research about what family cars we want to buy than we do about childbirth when we ’re pregnant.
Tmi: I passed a huge clot after birth in the bathroom of my hospital room and called the nurse sobbing because I didn’t know it was normal. She treated me like an idiot, but NO ONE told me it was a possibility. And the pain associated with healing for the first couple of weeks after birth was worse than the labor imo. Again, I had no idea. They didn’t tell me a thing besides “sitz bath regularly and change your pads.” Before discharging me from the hospital.
I was most definitely told about this in school. Fucking hell, 4-6 weeks of bleeding? My periods were/are bad enough, why the hell don’t we get told this?
I didn’t know it could last so long, wtf? Is the bleeding inevitable after birth?
Bleeding is inevitable after birth - your uterine wall is shedding a fuck ton of lining. It can last from three to six weeks (possible longer) and it tapers off.
More TMI - I passed a MASSIVE clot after my fourth birth. At this point I already knew this could happen - it’s normal. What I DIDN’T know, was that I had caused it.
My post birth contractions were so bad after the birth that it felt like full transition labor. And they don’t give you anything for the pain. So I used a hot water bottle, without the nurses knowing, and it caused me to bleed even more. I lost so much blood that by the first time they sat me up to go to the bathroom, I fainted. It took three more tries until I could sit up.
Anyway, that’s not the point. The point is, the next morning I passed a clot the SIZE OF ANOTHER PLACENTA I KID YOU NOT, and I know what is and is not normal. So I called for the nurse and through the door told her I had passed a huge clot, and her response was - “It’s not big. I know what big is.” She hadn’t even looked. So I rolled my eyes and said, “Yeah, no. It’s big, I’m telling you.”
So, sounding extremely put upon, she asked me to open the door. I did, and after a long pause she goes, “Okay, yeah, that’s a little big.”
YOU DON’T SAY.
The point I’m trying to get across is that this shit is so common - women not knowing this stuff is so expected, and it keeps getting reinforced. People don’t expect you to know anything, don’t teach you anything, and then make you feel like you’re totally ignorant and a burden for your lack of knowledge when THEY WON’T SHARE.
Fucking learn EVERYTHING you can when it comes to childbirth, girls. It is the single most empowering thing you can do for yourself. And if you missed something, that’s okay. But the more knowledge you arm yourself with, the more in control of your situation you’ll be.
A few post partum tips:
DON’T use a hot water bottle - lol.
ONLY pads - NO tampons. Tampons can cause severe infection, not to mention, you probably don’t want to be shoving anything up there any time soon.
If you’ve had stitches, sitz baths DO help relieve the pain. Another great pain reliever? Dampen some pads and freeze them. Let one thaw slightly and use it on top of another pad. This will help with the pain as well as reduce swelling. Change the pad out as soon as it’s thawed completely. This REALLY helps on the first couple days after giving birth.
If you pass a clot, don’t sweat it. Even the one I passed, which was fucking massive, just required that we keep an eye out to make sure it didn’t happen again. If it does, talk to your doctor.
Take a pain killer half an hour before nursing. Because YES - your uterus is contracting after you give birth, to get back to its original size, and nursing causes much stronger contractions. Taking nursing-safe painkillers won’t prevent the pain, but it will reduce it.
Buy disposable underwear for the first few days after birth. They will get VERY dirty. Or use your ratty old pairs that you’re ready to get rid of. Double up on pads - line them all the way up your ass-crack. I am so serious. And wear dark pants.
Pee in the shower. You do NOT want to wipe down there right after birth because ow. Peeing in the shower lets you just rinse afterwards. Especially if you’ve had stitches, peeing in the shower, with the shower-head rinsing AS you go, keeps stinging to a minimum. And fuck everyone else - keep on peeing in the shower until you feel ready to move back to toilet paper. Middle of the night and need to pee? Get your pants off - get in the shower and just go.
This is just a few things, but PLEASE feel free to send me an ask if you have any questions about ANYTHING childbirth/pregnancy/nursing related. I have four incredible kids. I’ve done it all - c-section, vacuume birth, episiotimy, stitches, with an epidural, without an epidural. I’m here.
….I know I keep reblogging this but people keep adding super important information.
I feel like no one tells women this stuff because if a woman was even a little on the fence about having a baby before this would kinda make them run for the damn hills.
…..you are correct, typing.
300% EXTRA SURE I’M NOT HAVING BABIES.
peri bottles, witch hazel or anti-pain anticeptic spray are your friends. Also passing large clots after birth is a WARNING SIGN. Bigger than a half dollar is a sign that you have not passed your entire placenta (this is most common in hospital vaginal births where the mother is not allowed to naturally birth the placenta and instead has it ripped out by the doctor) if there is any placenta left in your uterus you can get extremely ill. This happened to both myself and my mother in law
WOW I didn’t know any of this and I’m terrified of what more I’m unaware of about my own body :( Honestly when will we fucking abolish this taboo about the female body…
I had pretty great sex ed in school (lots of contraceptive information, and totally acknowledged that teenagers might have sex) and all of this is news to me.
And, as a 28-year-old person with a uterus, I’m extremely appalled I’m just learning this.
Long, but very important information, even for those who don’t plan to have children, because you will almost certainly know someone who will, and you might be able to to help them. Or at least increase your level of empathy for them.
…HOLY HELL. REBLOG TO SAVE A LIFE, SERIOUSLY.
A lot of tmi but I had literally no fucking idea this happens
At all
And my mom was a nurse with two kids
What the FUCK?!
I’m not planning to have children because there are so many without homes- but if you want to have your own baby, PLEASE read this information.
I’m 48 years old, well on my way into menopause…and I have NEVER HEARD ANY OF THIS BEFORE. I hate this puritanical fucking society we’re in.
But of course your parents tell you all about this so schools don’t need to.
Holy fuck am I glad I have no urge to procreate…
^^^ That part.
My household did not consist of ANY sexual education. School barely did anything. This shit is tiresome.
why do i feel like i am so hard to love
Someone you met 2 weeks ago can have better intentions than someone you met 2 years ago. Don’t let time fool you
Do y'all remember being a kid and trying to read in the car while it was dark outside and your parents wouldn’t let you turn on the light so you would try to grab snatches of sentences when you passed by street lights
A little trick I used to help overcome my depression was instead of telling myself “I am depressed and I want to be happy”. I started to tell myself “I am happy, and I deserve to be happy”. At first it seemed silly. Cause they’re just words. But words and thoughts are powerful and the mind is a wonderful magical thing. Words & thoughts are one of the main things that assist in everything that happens to us. The ideal is to already believe that you are where you want to be, in order to be get there. If you are still telling the universe that you are sad, anxious or depressed, that is what the universe will give you in return. If you tell the universe that you are happy and thriving, and that you deserve it and believe it - that is what the universe will give you in return.
I know people have chemical imbalances, and past trauma causing this depression (and tbh so many other things can cause depression). But I was told the same thing by my doctors and I let my past take over my mind. It wasn’t until I stopped believing these strangers who weren’t curing me at all, only giving my “treatments”. I figured that I know myself the best and that I was smart enough to figure it out on my own. It had gotten to a point where I was absolutely sick and tired of waking up every day wanting to die. Cause deep deep deep down, I knew I had shit to take care here on Earth. And I know a lot of people have that deep feeling to be something even if they can seem to pull it to surface. I’ve been there for 13 years, so I get it. So if things aren’t working out for you how you want them to, I would really recommend looking into The Laws of the Universe. It will teach you how to control your envious essentially, with practice and commitment.
An interview I’d recommend is Abraham’s Teaching’s, an Introduction. By Jerry and Esther Hicks. It’s on Spotify and Esther has a beautiful voice so it’s really easy to listen to and to learn. I have what doctors call schizophrenia so this interview in particular really helped me understand myself and the experiences I have with our universal timeline. I digress though..
Hopefully this helps someone. I am not saying this is what will work for everybody not am I putting down anyone’s personal method of coping. This is just a suggestion based on my experience and why not share it if someone else could benefit like I did?
This isn’t just for depressed folks, it’s for anyone. The Laws of the Universe can get you to the places you want to go in life if you really commit. I’ve manifested so many wonderful things intentionally and unintentionally - and it’s really crazy how much power we all can hold.
yall realize that kylie jenner literally played a huge role in modernizing blackface, yes? cause of her bum ass, ppl really be overlining/plumping their lips, wearing foundation that’s far too dark, modifying their bodies and wearing clothes to resemble ‘fit’ black girls…and the worst part is that yall are convinced that it’s just a specific aesthetic rather than an attempt to imitate blackness on a level i’ve only previously seen from minstrel shows
the kardashian klan are also among the first major celebrities i’ve seen to be blatant about their fetishization of black men and culture while being virulently antiblack. and again, yall really seem to think that’s okay. the fact that the kardashians continue to be outrageously popular, that they continue to find their way into my social media feeds, that yall non-blacks insist on laughing about them and going as far as to stan them, shows yall dont give a shit about black people.
i don’t care what looks they ‘serve’, how much money they make, i don’t care if kim made a funny tweet or some shit. the kardashians are too fucking anti-black for yall to be playing around like this lmao.
They all vultures and racists who have made their money off mocking and mimicking Black women and fucking Black men who know better but refuse to do better because of the allure of whiteness and maybe being more to those women than human dildos and access to Black culture( y’all niggas responsible for this shit too) they’re all disgusting and antiBlack and everything catches up but in the meantime keep calling these women out for exactly who they are racial fetishists and culture Vultures of Blackness mainly Black WOMEN
