Hey, everyone! Due to the sudden influx of viewers on AO3, the site has had to modify some things, including the experience of guest users and how hits are counted on the site. This is not the fault of AO3 (they're doing their best to keep things up and running for all of us), but if you're a guest user following stories on AO3, PLEASE make sure to leave kudos for your authors to see. We understand it can be difficult to get an account on AO3 (probably more now with COVID-19 leaving people in their homes), but sudden drops in statistics can be inexplicable and disheartening.

Keep your heads up, people. We're gonna get through this.

It sure would be a shame if people knew that the Texas snitch site is now routed to https://texasrighttolife.com. Millions of people should definitely not repeat ping it to clog their bandwidth to shut it down. I hope Windows users don’t press [ctrl] + [c] and type ‘ping -t 104.21.76.40’ . If you use a Linux, please don’t open a terminal and type ‘ping texasrighttolife.com’ . Thank goodness that Apple users have to go through so many steps. It would be tough to figure out that you’d have to open “Applications”, followed by “Utilities”, choose “Network Utilities” and then, click on “Ping” select “Send an unlimited number of pings, enter “104.21.76.40”, and press “Ping”. Sure would be bad if that website went down.

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.

So bc tumblr hates links this will be hard to pass around but theres a White House petition to save the USPS

This is significantly more important than a change.org petition bc it HAS to be acknowledged if it gets enough signatures

Please sign it and reblog!

Seattle PD sent seven police cars to arrest the guy who filmed them macing a child and are holding him without bail on trumped up charges of “Unlawful discharge of a laser pointer.”

Seven police cars. No bail. This is retaliation.

I’ve seen posts going around saying “Bail funds are full, stop donating” THIS IS NOT TRUE. These organizations still need help. While funds could be topped off, money is constantly being used during this time. Here is a complete list of bail fund organizations by state.
