This fucking site: hey net neutrality is about to die :((( please help us :(((( boost and rb everything you see even if you’re not American :((((((((( we’ll have no wifi :(((((( we need you!!!! :((((
Non-Americans: okay
Non-Americans: hey greece is basically on fire, 150 people are wounded, 53 are killed and our nature is being destroyed. we’re suspecting arson. can you please reblog some posts and help spread awareness?
This fucking site:
Allow me to elaborate on how bad things are here. 7 places are burning at the same time while in Μάτι and Κίνετα the fire not only burned trees but because off the strong winds(80 kilometes per hour) it burned houses, it burned people. Firefighters and volunteers do whatever they can with the little gear they have as always because why on earth would the goverment give money to firefighting vechiles, canadairs and literally anything else that could be useful in this country when we know that every summer someone wants to burn forests so they can build whatever they want. Anyways, people started running away once some firefighters managed to warn them to evacute ( something that others should have done because these people have to keep working so they can prevent the fore from doing anymore damage ). People started running to get to the beach which was their only hope, unfortunately some people with their families were trapped once the fire circurled the area around them leaving them with the only thing to do, wait for their end. Charred bodies were found locked in embrace the next day. Now the people who reached the beach had to wait there so they could be transferred from there to the port of Ραφήνα. Here’s a photo :
The deaths are officially at 79 by the most recent official announcement. Places like Mati, Kineta, Chania, Neos Boutsas and more are being burned to the core.
Minimum help is being given by neighboring countries. Officially 2 aircrafts from Italy and 2 from Cuprus whipe some are expected from Romania, Hungary, Spain.
There are abouy 31 people registred as missing in a web site while that doesnt mean those are all the people missing.
If you know people you know or suspect are missing call 199, the fire department.
If you are looking for someone missing don’t call hospitals, call 199, the fire department.
People got burned alive in their cars, in their homes.
Cars are literally melted by the fires.
The victims include children, thankfully the ones that survived are shocked, of course, but safe and in the hospital. The number of kids in the hospital ‘Παίδον’ (Pedon) in Athens is 11; 12 exited yesterday, and the kids left are expected to leave today.
The suspicion of the fires falls on arson. It something that Greece has suffered from a lot throughout the years. Yet we are never prepared for most of our problems whether it has to do with natural causes or not.
The situation is horrible. If you can’t help anyway else, reblog to spread awareness on the matter!
Honestly this is so much more helpful than my vent post (which I didn’t expect to blow up the way it did). If y’all are gonna boost something, boost this instead.
hey i’d appreciate if we didnt do guilt tripping stuff like this because this is actually the first time ive heard about the fires in greece? i had no idea and this is a pretty big problem! not everyone is following blogs that have posted about this, so blaming the uninformed for their ignorance is really rude..

Spicy hot take: the most that the reclamation of slurs used against the LGBT community achieved, is that now straight people can say slurs, and nobody can tell them not to. I love it when straight dudes say ‘dyke’ and I can’t complain because it’s the name of a march. Love it
i feel the same way about queer eye. i dont really want to hear my mum say “hey wanna watch queer eye?” but what else is she supposed to say.
Who is out here letting str8 men say dyke? On what planet do str8 men know what the fucking dyke march is?
Also queer isnt a slur. But you want it to be really bad which is, of course, a problem. But anyway
Some of us have had rocks thrown from the back of a pick up truck while being called queer so kindly just shut up.
I am sorry that happened to you. However, language is a dynamic thing. It changes. Your experience may not be congruent with how the meaning of queer has shifted but your experience doesn’t have the ability to halt linguistic metamorphosis. It might even be that queer can exist as a slur AND retain a new, empowering connotation. Both can exist at once. But anyways, have a fucked day ya damn queer
“language is a dynamic thing.”
Not as dynamic as a rock thrown at your head.
Reclaiming a slur doesn’t mean shit. I have heard straight men say things like “queer cunt” (homophobia and misogyny) and they don’t know that some people (some who aren’t even gay) are trying to reclaim it.
I’m still waiting for slut not be a hateful word used against women.
Slut walkers writing “slut” on their bodies didn’t stop men from calling women sluts.
I still see men use sexist slurs and they don’t know or don’t care about us ‘reclaiming’ slurs.
“Your experience may not be congruent with how the meaning of queer has shifted but your experience doesn’t have the ability to halt linguistic metamorphosis.”
You sound like a wanker
“It might even be that queer can exist as a slur AND retain a new, empowering connotation.”
Call me a faggot the right way
“Both can exist at once. But anyways, have a fucked day ya damn queer”

(While I don’t like the word handmaiden to describe women, I decided to post this ask anyways)
Once again, hate reading converted yet another person to the Dark Side™ 😂 I’m curious if TRAs caught on to what “hate reading” can do and that’s why the “block and stay safe” movement against TERFs was so crucial to the movement?
They know.
That’s why they tell their loyal followers to “block and stay safe uwu”.
They know that we’re right and are terrified of losing control of their followers
nia wilson’s murder has been covered by every major news outlet so when you say “i should see nia where i’m seeing demi” what you’re actually saying is “i get my news coverage from dumbass twitter accounts and TMZ instead of following the actual news” and this is true of almost every single major news story people claim wasn’t covered when it was actually covered extensively. i mean i literally saw people say the pulse shooting wasn’t getting covered when it was at the time the most deadly shooting in US history. you guys don’t bother developing media literacy and blame journalists for not literally spoonfeeding you what’s important

Every single year the same things happens in Greece, every damn summer our country is burned, people lose their houses and families, then no one cares and the cycle repeats.
Its not just a weather issue, there is always a greater evil hidden behind all of this and nothing changes.
Last year my house almost burned, we were lucky on the last minute but I can still remember the fear of the people around me, running around and trying to help, the panicked animals and the sickening anxiety that I might lose my house and my cat.
Funny how when people think about Greece all they talk about is our economic crisis and shitty politicians (and even dare to act like they know everything about those matters), yet for some strange reason, when it comes to the refugee crisis, the tensions with Turkey or the fire catastrophes, silence ensues.
I’m positive that if it were a stronger country or a “popular” one getting burned, everyone would magically transform into Mother Teresa and pray, cry and reblog everything they can.
But no, this is Greece, the “joke of Europe”, or, as all fandoms here know it, “that one ancient country with the really cool mythology and gods”. No future or innocent people to worry about, right?
