i can’t believe i am making a post like this but since this is very very close to home, i’m deciding to use this to reach as much people as possible.
SO, if you know me, hi hello and if you don’t, i go by jarvis on here but my actual name is maxx. and i live in hawaii.
if you don’t know what’s going on here, the island of maui, which is a neighbor island of mine (yes, i’m fine), has suffered a devastating fire due to negligence of a telephone pole and it swept through the entirety of lahaina (a town in maui) and burned a LOT of people’s houses to the ground and a whole bunch of lives were lost.
and a couple of hours prior of writing this, i just got word back from my mother that distant relatives of mine from my grandfather’s side have passed away from the fire.
i’m writing this to spread awareness of what’s happening in the world we live in, i know that some of you use tumblr as your escape from reality but this is reality unfortunately.
hawaii is my home and are my cultural roots and lahaina was a place where many of my people grew up (and i’m talking generations upon generations so you could imagine what pieces of history is gone..) and this is all just….very not fun lol. i haven’t a goddamn clue how to word any of this so apologies if this all is confusing and all over the place.
and i’m using whatever tags, including ososan ones, to get this to reach wherever i can
and yes, please please PLEASE reblog this
for those who are worried about me, once again, i’m fine. and i will be fine, thank you for your concern.
and for those of you who live in the outer states complaining about not being able to vacation there or here anymore, kindly go fuck yourself.
below are links to where you can donate in maui, any thing helps really. and if you are local, the first screenshot is where you can physically donate whatever is needed and a number you can call to locate your loved ones if they live there:
