OH MY GOD I FORGOT ABOUT THIS ACCOUNT WHAT

So, India is dying.

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.

If you can, donate.

Or spread the word.

Help. Please.

oh did I forget to mention that Foxfire aka fairy fire aka chimpanzee fire exists

Foxfire is not a specific type of fungi, but rather refers to bioluminescence emitted by multiple species. Fun fact: it was used to illuminate the barometer and compass needles in one of the world’s first submarines, which incidentally was named Turtle.

Hello again my lovelies, this is your gentle reminder to treat freelance artists with respect and kindness

This should all go without saying, but just incase I need to say it

If you commission an art piece from an artist, pay them with MONEY. They need money more than they need “exposure” if you agreed to pay them money in return for art, than pay them the damn money or don’t expect them to do anything for you

Remember that reblogging peoples art helps them a lot more than just liking it, it lets tons of other people see their work

If someone asks to not repost their art, then don’t, and if they do allow people to repost their art than BE SURE TO CREDIT THE ARTIST

Stealing other peoples art and trying to pass it off as your own is pathetic and rude, don’t do it

Constructive criticism is healthy for people to receive, but if your criticism on peoples art is based on bias, and or is just rude as shit than keep it to yourself

If your a fan of an artist and you have some friends who likes art it never hurts to tell your friends about a cool artist ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

(I’m not an artist and I am pretty stupid so feel free to correct me if I’m wrong on any of this, or feel the need to add to it)

Also as someone mentioned in the tags this also applies to writers!
