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.

The inherent fucking racism/xenophobia in the “Save Christmas” rhetoric????? They imposed lockdowns twice right before Eid, countless Hindu, Jewish, Buddhist and more holidays went by in lockdown and now that its Christmas it’s somehow more important? People out there telling all of us that our holidays and religions don’t matter and we have to step up for society (which we did btw) are now going “oh no not Christmas whatever will we do??” Now that it’s YOUR holiday you finally pay attention? Fuck off. We could have been careful and ended this months ago but y’all decided to play around until it came to Christmas. The government deciding to not give a shit about Eid but decide to “protect Christmas” tells you everything you need to know.

According to Longcat's (her real name is Nobiko) person, she passed earlier today at the age of 18

Source

According to Twitter, she was playful and happy and fighting until the very end. It's also worth it to consider that 18 years old is quite old, for a house cat.

I don't know about you, but I think we should celebrate her life. ~16 years ago, the famous Longcat image graced the internet. She was like a celebrity, even across the world.

Rest in peace, "Longcat", Nobiko. You were long, and you are loved.

And please, if you can, have kind thoughts and words for her family during this time as well. Losing a pet is never easy, and losing one so well-known is bound to be stressful. Thank you for sharing her memory with us.

there’s this philosophy question - how many boards on a sailboat can you replace before the ship is no longer itself? 

my brother asks me while we are making tacos. 

“one hundred,” i tell him.

“What if the boat is really big?” 

“one hundred boards. i laugh while cutting up lettuce. 

“what if-”

“nope. it’s one. hundred. every time.” one hundred boards and one hundred nails and one hundred days on the ocean. 

i don’t know, after all. you’re not supposed to know this kind of thing. you are supposed to ask this kind of question while sinking deeper into leather chairs and stroking your jawbone. 

here is what i do know - it has been over a hundred days for me. it has been one hundred nails and one hundred reasons i have had to find by examining the world and the softness of skin.

for so long, i felt patchwork. i was assembled in thin i-tried-to-get-better. i felt gaping, full of fanged darkness, a facsimile of a person. an inch from drowning. somehow fooling others i was fine when every corner of my soul was dripping with seasalt.

but it has been one hundred boards. i have taken out and replaced and taken out and replaced and taken out and made better. i have built the prow of this boat so many times that i can navigate it by moonless yawn. each time the crest of the wave comes into me - i know what will bend. i know what will break. and i know i will be okay, and i will find some way to replace it.

the things that have been done to me have been left on different shores. they have been remodeled into warm wood and strong doors and i am a different ship than the girl he touched and i am a different ship than hiding cuts and i am a different ship that doesn’t worry if she’s actually enough.

i am a different ship. i am laughing about philosophy questions. i am trying to learn how to speak better french. i only sew things closed with dental floss - i learned that two ships ago. i am making tacos in a warm room. i don’t count calories or craft lies or always wish i was still asleep. i still flinch if you move too quickly. but i am still building.

and i will be a different ship, a hundred different ways. and it will be beautiful to witness.
