i never talk about these things but i can’t remain silent.
i know tumblr doesn’t give a SHIT when things happen in countries outside the “most popular ones” (such as the usa & england). it’s true, don’t lie to me. y’all don’t give A FUCK. not every issue and problem in said countries gets the appropriate exposure but in general shit shows up on the news WORLD FREAKING WIDE. you set up donations, you help out, your spread the word, you say “pray for x”……
southern europe is burning.
my country is burning.
people are dying - at home, on the road, trying to run away, in their cars.
yesterday my country had 300 active fires.
people are losing EVERYTHING they own.
i have a friend that is on a train right now passing through places that have been burnt to the ground and she says the smoke is so intense it’s getting inside the train and she can barely breathe.
and yet, even though several people (myself included) have been trying to bring awareness to what has been happening in southern europe… what we get from most of you, those not part of the countries suffering, is silence. we don’t ask for money, we don’t ask for shit other than a reblog to spread awareness… something you can delete in 24/48hrs if you wish.
i don’t know what to tell you. i’m angry. i’m frustrated. i’m disappointed. i feel like i’m screaming into the void. “a reblog does nothing” - you know that’s a damn lie, you know exposure always helps, you know people start paying attention when posts on social media become popular. my country in particular is a small one, we get ZERO exposure. y’all are only starting to figure out we even fucking exist bc of the shit we’ve been winning lately.
but hell, if the EU doesn’t give a shit, why should some user on tumblr dot com?
again, i don’t know what to tell you so i’ll let the images speak for themselves:
An image captured by a Nasa satellite shows a thick plume of smoke blowing southward from the Greek island of Chios over the island of Crete
Torneros de Jamuz, Spain
Duca, Croatia
A helicopter from Italy’s civil protection service drops water on a fire near the railway between Venice and Trieste
Residents take refuge on the beach as a wildfire burns on the mountain next to the village of Lithi, on the Greek island of Chios
Men gather cattle during a forest fire in Vieira de Leiria, Marinha Grande, Portugal.
Charred trees are seen on the hills above the Cloister of Thivaidas on Mount Athos, a World Heritage Site in Greece

Hi, sorry to bother you, but I read your last post and was wondering whether you’d recommend Normal People. I just finished the series, and was debating on buying and reading the book but read some reviews and they didn’t like Rooney’s writing style.
I think its definitely worth a read! It's pretty fast paced and the speech isnt in speech marks but part from that her writing was pretty normal. Shes def the type of author who u read for the characters and story tho not the writing

to be honest i haven’t had much time to read because of the plague that is tests BUT ive been loving emma recently. I know this seems dUmb but its so similar to clueless and that just makes me happy reading it. It’s also not super obnoxiously written ( i hate classics that take 4 paragraphs to say something that could so dAmn easily written in a sentence?). But yeah its a good read and you can take your time with it.
I’ve been reading Brave New World for school and its taking foreve because i only have the pdf version (I HATE SCROLLING TO READ). Been a bit thrown off by the beginning, Aldous Huxley is definitely skilled with shock factor lmao. Its good tho.
(Also just sayin get a library app! i use Libby all the time. You like make an account with your public library and then you have all the books digitally. Way better than pdf in my opinion because you tap. Kinda like a real book. Just sayin, better for the environment, free books without the covid risk AND free books lol.)
I also finished normal people by Sally Rooney c. a week ago. I loved it, super quick read and like half the charcacters are super hateable. Adds a bit of spice to get your blood boiling over someone who literally does not exist.
Thats pretty much it from me folks, if you see this give me movie and book recommendations!!!!
Not the first time the first time I spoke for like 3 seconds and dipped but after that I KILLED IT
I always forget how much public speaking scares me until I'm tripping over my words for 5 minutes in front of like 3 ppl lmao NOT THIS TIME THO I'm gnna do good hopefully lol
