Quite honestly, I’m surprised that I haven’t seen more people on here talking about the fires in Fort McMurray, Alberta, Canada. I know that because it’s Canada and because it’s a fire it’s different than most natural disasters, because it is happening on a much slower time frame, but I honestly don’t think most of you guys realize just how big this is.
More than 80,000 people have had to flee their homes, and may have nothing to return to when the fire is put out.
The fire may potentially double over the next couple days, destroying more of Canada’s beautiful landscape, homes, and habitats for it’s diverse biodiversity.
Fort McMurray is highly dependant upon it’s position in the oil sands industry, which could be highly affected by the fire, leaving tens of thousands of people without jobs or homes.
A teenage girl was killed in a car crash as a result of her family attempting to flee the fires.
Foreign temporary workers might have to leave Canada because the fires have left them without homes or connections to people within Canada.
I know how hard it can be to relate to something like this, but I’m stunned that I haven’t seen the slightest mention of it anywhere on tumblr. Thousands upon thousands of people have lost everything. Wildlife is loosing its natural habitat by the second. Entire cities and communities are being wiped out. I don’t ask much, just that you try to put yourself in the shoes of those affected by this.
You can donate to the Canadian Red Cross HERE, and if anyone reading this happens to be from Fort McMurray or in the surrounding area, a list of resources can be found here.
Please help spread the word by reblogging this, if you can’t afford to donate, any effort helps.
reblog and make a wish!

Ghost in the Shell whitewashing continues to fuel online backlash
Hollywood still is not learning its lesson when it comes to whitewashing and yellow face. A new photo released today shows Scarlett Johansson as Motoko Kusanagi in the forthcoming adaptation of Ghost in the Shell, sparking actress Ming-Na Wen and many others to speak out online. This isn’t even the first outcry against Hollywood whitewashing this week. Cough cough Marvel.
ok so i was really hoping i wouldnt have to do this again but i’m short on rent again (and even better, it’s gone up to $605 now)
i would be almost straight if the company i work for hadn’t taken a full 1/3 of my paycheck from march 18 out for taxes on a high-price prize that i won that i have yet to see over a month later - i also paid my $142 electric bill when i got paid this past friday. so far i have just over 1/3 of what i need.
i’m still capped on hours at my current job, none of the other stores in the area need fill-ins right now, and none of the other jobs i applied to have returned my calls yet - my boss is also stressing me out to the point that i had to finally file a complaint against him because of his unprofessionalism (this is the same one that said “if you can’t work nights you can’t work here” after i had my car accident and then unexpectedly got my current apartment last year).
and i still need to gas up to get to and from work (and before one of you asses comes in here talm’bout “why don’t you take a taxi or ride a bus”, keep in mind that when i work a night shift that the last bus goes by before i can get out of work and that a taxi from my job to my apartment building - a distance of about 10 miles - averages about $23 each time), PLUS my food stamps are running low (i have to wait until the 14th) and my underweight, disordered eating ass can’t go without eating; i’m sick right now and need to buy some reasonably priced over-the-counter medicine (i didn’t even buy any from my job because the ‘‘‘sale’’’ prices were so high); and i also have to pay $40 for pest treatment from three months ago.
my biological mother is trying to help me out but she’s more or less broke until this coming friday, and my adoptive mother and i had another falling out before easter so calling my dad or sisters is out of the question this time :)
here is my paypal.me, and my google wallet is [email protected] ! i don’t have a set amount in mind, but any amount helps until my mom gets paid at the end of the week. my building manager also LOVES to put past due notices in my door even after the rent has been paid in full so i’m trying to keep her off my damn back for once. the rent will go up to $655 after tomorrow (tuesday april 5) so i’d love to get as much as i can paid!
