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.
The nation's healthcare system has completely collapsed. Hospital Beds are in shortage. The hospitals are unable to provide oxygen to their patients. Medicines are unavailable in hospitals as well as in markets. Vaccines are in short supply. Even infected Healthcare workers are unable to get treatment in the hospitals they are employed at due to shortage of basic Healthcare needs.
Even if beds are available, the hospitals are telling patients to arrange for their own medicines. People have been running around and trying to arrange life saving drugs for their loved ones but to no avail. Doses come to market in hundreds while their demand is in thousands. My own family has been running around trying to procure them for my grandmother who has been admitted to the hospital.
Hospitals have been making frantic S.O.S calls for oxygen but even then they aren't recieveing it. Patients are left gasping for oxygen. Yesterday 25 critical Covid patients lost their lives at a major hospital in our nation's Capital due to shortage of high flow oxygen. The same situation is in many other states and cities. People are being forced to get oxygen on roads. Many hospitals don't have oxygen and are asking their patients to arrange it from alternate sources themselves.
Each day we wake up to a new record high in the number of daily cases and the number of deaths due to Covid-19. Yesterday it was 346,786 new cases and 2,624 deaths. Crematoriums have been burning 24/7 and helpless people are watching their loved ones die.
Does our government have a proper plan to deal with this situation? No they don't.
What has our central government been doing? NOTHING. They have been busy trying to win state elections for their party by conducting maskless rallies of hundreds giving no mind to Covid protocols and social distancing. Rather than trying to boost our Healthcare infrastructure during the past year they have been busy trying to defeat other parties in state elections. OUR GOVERNMENT HAS SUCCESSFULLY MANAGED TO WASTE AN ENTIRE CRUCIAL YEAR WHEN THEY COULD INCREASE OUR NATION'S HEALTHCARE CAPABILITIES. Had they actually done what they were supposed to in terms of healthcare, we would not be in this situation. You can count on them when it comes to conducting press conferences to put opposition parties and their leaders down. BUT YOU CAN'T COUNT ON THEM TO DO THEIR JOBS
We have triple-mutant variant of the virus in our country and our government doesn't have a centralized plan to combat the situation. Our country's government has failed us. Now they are trying to put pressure on state governments to deal with the situation.
This is the worst health-care crisis in the history of our nation and our government is doing nothing.
PLEASE HELP SPREAD THE WORD. IF YOU CAN PLEASE DONATE.
20 year old Daunte Wright was murdered by police in Brooklyn Center, a Minneapolis suburb today, April 11th, 2021 during a traffic stop.
As of 7pm, his body is still laying on the ground. Riot cops are on the scene with "less lethals" AND live weapons in response to a large crowd that has formed to hold space for grief and anger. Daunte's mother is there and speaking, and she shared the above photo of Daunte.
The Derek Chauvin trial is currently ongoing and these police are out here still actively murdering our neighbors. ACAB forever.
thinking abt that specific type of intimacy from being in someone’s bedroom for the first time, & you’re poking around their items, & they’re reclined backwards on their bed telling you all the little stories while they follow you around the room with their eyes, & you feel it
somehow this post made it to terfs and transphobes who think this means “men who think they’re women are a harmful to women” or “identifying as nonbinary is harmful to [binary] trans people” etc. which is NOT WHAT IT MEANS. the poster of the tweet is nonbinary and trans, and i am nonbinary and trans (and trans women are women, trans men are men, nonbinary identities are valid, etc).
This tweet means that trans identities and pronouns are valid and should be talked about as such. Language matters. I don’t “identify as nonbinary,” I AM nonbinary. I don’t “prefer they/them pronouns,” they/them ARE my pronouns. “Identify as” and “prefer” leave room for doubt and debate, and trans identities are not up for debate.
Emily Lewis of Dayton, Ohio, now fired from her job at Taylor Communications.
Adam Johnson of Palmetto, Florida, seen here stealing a podium during the violent invasion of the Capitol Building. His wife is Dr. Suzanne Johnson at Davita Medical in Palmetto, Florida.
Pro wrestler James DeFalco aka “Jimmy Jact Cash”. Seen in the news previously for defrauding members of his now-bankrupt gyms of hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Derrick Evans recently elected to West Virginia’s House of Delegates. It takes a special kind of domestic terrorist to try to overthrow the federal government while holding an elected position.
Jenna Ryan a realtor in Frisco, Texas. Are you allowed to hold a realtor’s license when you’ve committed a federal crime? I definitely wouldn’t want her having keys to my house.
Elizabeth Koch from Maryville, Tennessee. Props for outing yourself for federal crimes on national television. Double props for rubbing your eyes with an onion on camera and claiming you got maced.
Paul Davis former Associate General Counsel and Director of HR for Goosehead Insurance Company who fired him for domestic terrorism - and probably also gross incompetence. What kind of lawyer does a media interview while committing a federal crime? I’m guessing the State Bar of Texas is going to disbar him as well but we’re still waiting on that news.
Kristopher Drew licensed cosmetologist at Hair by Kristopher Drew. I’m not sure whether you’re allowed to be a cosmetologist and have a criminal record at the same time but I guess we’re about to find out.
Aaron Mostofsky son of Kings County Supreme Court Judge Steven (Shlomo) Mostofsky. Per the Jewish Telegraphic Agency, “Mostofsky’s brother Nachman, the executive director of Chovevei Zion, a politically conservative Orthodox advocacy organization, as well as a Brooklyn district leader and vice president of the South Brooklyn Conservative Club, also attended the rally Wednesday but did not enter the Capitol.”
Josiah Colt domestic terrorist and owner of FunnelCraft Co. in Boise, Idaho.

Zach Crandall who outed himself for federal crimes.
Eduardo “Nick” Alvear seen here smoking pot inside the Capitol Building because why commit just one federal crime when you can commit two at once and document them both on film at the same time amiright.
Ben Thomas Crocker of Massachusetts. Apparently sedition and participating in a violent coup attempt makes you a “Maverick” these days.
Jenny Cudd founder of Becky's Flowers in Midland, Texas. Yes this domestic terrorist and white supremacist called herself out as a Becky. Even if you're fine doing business with seditionists (I'm not) I wouldn't recommend booking her for your next special event unless it's five to ten years out.
Dean Gomez, sales manager at Kevin Harris Allstate Agency, who was part of the attempted coup and tried really hard to break in to a federal building but didn't quite manage it. Is your presence at a violent insurrection and intention to overthrow the federal government enough to land you in prison? I guess we'll find out.

Donald Rouse Sr. co-owner of the Louisiana chain of grocery stores Rouse's Markets and former Rouse HR Director-turned-domestic-terrorist Steve Galtier participating in the violent assault on the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021.
Is anyone else besides me concerned about how many business owners and HR Directors are popping up on this list of white supremacist terrorists? Imagine being a minority working one of those jobs.
Pastor Joey Deese of Oakdale Baptist Church in Rock Hill, South Carolina, dressed to the nines and ready to violently overthrow the US government.
I’m also concerned (but unfortunately not even slightly surprised) how many “good Christians” seem to think white supremacy, violence and toppling democracy are “what Jesus would have wanted”. This guy hasn’t been reported for domestic abuse like the previous “good Christian” on our list but he is preaching white supremacy and hatred from the pulpit and I’m not sure that’s an improvement.
Alex Smith of San Diego. All I have on this domestic terrorist - besides photos of him looking ever-so-pleased with himself while committing criminal trespass inside the US Capitol Building as part of an attempt to overthrow the US government - is that he graduated from Coronado High School in 2005.
If anyone knows where he works I’d be happy to add that to the post. Considering how generic his name is, I feel like a little more info on this federal criminal would make him pop up more easily in a Google search.
Jake Angeli aka Jacob Chansley, actor, voice over artist, singer and QAnon cultist from Phoenix, Arizona, seen here committing criminal trespass inside the US Capitol Building while participating in an attempted coup.
“12 News spoke with him over the phone Thursday morning when he stated he was the horned protester at the Capitol. He said he didn't have time to answer questions, but noted he was waiting for a ride to travel back to Phoenix. He also said he wasn't worried that he was listed as a person of interest by D.C. police.” Why is he not in prison? Good question.
Brian Gibson, lead pastor at HIS Church in Owensboro, Kentucky, and firm believer in white supremacy participated in the attempted coup at the US Capitol this week.
Jacob Riley owner of Riley Farms in Yucalpa, California. After being boycotted in 2018 for his racist and homophobic Tweets, he sued the local school district for $10 million for refusing to send their kids to his farm on field trips, claiming they violated his 1st and 14th amendment rights to be a bigot.
