I wished someone would stop me at the end of the road and say, "It was all just a hidden camera prank..."

[nooralanqar3]

Yesterday, I decided to take my children to the sea. It wasn't an outing in the way most people know it it was a desperate attempt to give them a few hours of joy in a life that has left them with no playgrounds, no parks, no toys, and no normal childhood.

We walked for about an hour and a half because there was no transportation available.

Along the entire way, rows of displaced families' tents stretched endlessly on both sides of the road. Entire families were living beneath thin sheets of fabric under the blazing summer sun.

The streets were flooded with sewage, and the smell was overwhelming, as if reminding us that this is not the life any human being deserves.

When we finally reached the sea, it was crowded. Not because people had come to relax, but because it has become the last place where an entire people can breathe after losing their homes, their parks, their streets, and every place that once made life feel normal.

On the way back, I had only one wish.

I wished someone would suddenly appear, smile, and say, "Cut... it was all just a hidden camera prank."

I wished I could open my eyes and find that the tents were gone, our homes had returned, children were back in their schools, and this endless suffering was finally over.

But reality was far more painful.

We walked home the same way we came through rows of tents, past the stench of sewage, carrying the weight of a homeland still waiting to come back to life.

I don't want pity. I simply want the world to know that there are people who still live this reality every single day, wishing just once that they could wake up from this nightmare

kitten fever is worse than baby fever because a kitten is way easier to obtain than a baby so it's more dangerous

I wish I could make white people(and not just white Americans) understand how diverse the pre-columbian Americas were. The history, religion, culture, politics was at least as complex as Europe's. There was the full gamut of religions, from monotheists to animists to ancestral religions. There were city building empires, village farmers, nomadic traders, and so many other ways to live. This is all just based on what we know, the fragments left behind and the stories of survivors of an apocalyptic plague. All this before the most extended campaign of genocide in history was waged in an attempt to wipe out those survivors.

Over 500 years spent trying to cut down a whole trunk of human culture.

Do you understand how much poorer our whole species is because of it? Can you imagine where art, religion, and science would be if we still had these vast bodies of knowledge? The stain of the colonial project will never be fully washed clean. We owe more than just the land to those we stole from. We owe them a whole future, a future that could have been brighter for all of us. If only greed and fear weren't allowed to rule this land.

Come to think of it, it really is insane that my entire country is burning alive and literally no one in the rest of the world cares. Thousands of Indians are dying every day from the heat, it's 45+ degrees in multiple areas, the government couldn't give two fucks, we're getting severe warnings and red alerts, and not a soul outside of South Asia is speaking about it because why would you ever care about brown people

[ninanation]

please keep talking about how Becky from Maryland doesn't like the rising gas prices. It's clearly the more pressing issue.

USA folks, that is a consistent temperature range hitting 113°. Death Valley temperatures. In Banda, it hovered between 116°-118° (47°-48° C) for a week straight.

This has been happening all month with little to no international media attention. Here are a few organizations you can check out for resources or to support:

ActionAid India

SEEDS India

GlobalGiving

Raise India (Project Tapan)

happy disability pride month to mean cripples, nasty addicts, people with down syndrome who arent nice and talk constant shit, wheelchair users that WILL run you over, autists that dont care and arent about to pretend to, people who lie to their psychiatrists, people that sit on the floor in public places with no benches, amputees that lie profusely about "what happened", ; to the "noncompliant", the "drug seeking", the "mean", the "difficult" and the "undeserving", and so on and so forth, i love us all and we deserve the world actually mwah mwah

[snapcracklepop-myjoints]

to people that hide contraband in their assistive devices. to people that do party tricks they arent supposed to and people who will spit on you if you ask them to do party tricks. to people that weaponise the infantalisation of disabled people for their own purposes (theft et. al.). to the people who "misuse" their medication and people who dont take it at all. to my mother, who takes out her hearing aids when she doesnt want to hear shit anymore but will still pretend to be listening so you dont catch on. to people who sleep all the time and to people with "abnormal" circadian rhythms who are unwilling to alter their sleep/wake cycle to best appeal to societal (and moral) expectations. to people that complain loudly about inaccessibility and refuse to try and "make it work". to people that charge money for invasive questions and people that pretend not to understand the question at all.
