I know that I’m not very active here but I’m aware of the fact that I still have a big enough platform that the posts on my page can reach a good amount of people. Things truly are extremely bad here and all that our government is doing is making matters WORSE (like holding mass rallies)
So, even if you’re not from India or if you’re unable to donate, please help by signal boosting this post.
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.

not to be insane but something about dean winchester as a character who was named after his grandmother, who from a young age is put in the caretaker position for his family, who puts on a hypermasculine exterior not because it suits him or he enjoys it but because he wants to but in order to be taken seriously by his father, who gets called “daddy’s little girl” by alastair trying to get under his skin, who screams that he doesn’t deserve to go to hell but also doesn’t believe he deserved to be saved makes me feel insane in the gender department

i love castiel because he says things like “cas is back in town” and “i like texting :) emoticons :)” and “you have a guinea pig? where?”
but he also says things like “maybe they wrongfully assumed dean would be brave enough to withstand them” and “if i plan to do anything else stupid, i’ll let you know” and “maybe one day, but today you’re my little bitch”
but then sometimes he’s also like “strange how a leaky pipe can undo the work of angels, when we ourselves are supposed to be the agents of fate” and “freedom is a length of rope; god wants you to hang yourself with it” and “there is no righteous path, it’s just people trying to do their best in a world where it is far too easy to do your worst”

the empty is probably regretting taking cas because right about now cas is getting wax poetic and explaining all the ways in which he knew he loved dean, what he loves about dean, telling it about how many freckles dean has, talking about how dean gives the best hugs... you get the picture.

the cw: you know, when cas dies after saying ‘i love you, bye dean’
south american network: yeah, ‘i love you’, then bi dean
the cw: bye, dean
south american network: bi dean
the cw: BYE, DEAN

in a perfect world we would get a reciprocated love confession where they’re not on the verge of death and when dean says “i love you” back all the lights in the bunker would explode because of how happy cas is
