IM IN TEARS #(€(_!#?*

[kpopbyrachel]

Hello everyone, this is a humble request to please help and support Palastine. Many innocent people are being killed and tortured and thrown out of their homes. These homes legally belong to them and Israelis are breaking international law and commiting war crimes. The Israelis have cut off food, water and medical care for the palastians and they are heavily armed. This genocide is being protrayed as people fighting for their land. This is not the case Israelis are stealing land from the people who showed them kindness. The Israelis ansestral home land is actually Egypt but they don't want that land of course because it doesn't have the oil and resources palastine has. During the Holocaust palastine opened its doors to the Israelis when everyone else was shunning them. They came to palastine as refugees with torn clothes and no shoes and palastine gave them homes and protection. Now those Israelis are killing, torturing and evicting the same people who literally saved their lives. What their doing to their saviours are dehumanizing and disgusting, I would think they would think twice about doing what their doing when once that was them. Anyway I digress. Please sign petitions for justice and donate to feed and give palastians the medical attention they require during this time. Also please keep in mind Israelis does not equal Jews. Israelis are a Jewish radical terriost group but they aren't representative of actual Jews beacuse Jews don't believe in ethnic cleansing and genocide. Supporting palastians is not anti-Semitism and neither is condemning Israelis and their actions anti-Semitism.

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.

I was so excited about Kai's solo debut up until yesterday. Like I'm so mad I thought his debut would be something more cultural, inspiring, and contemporary. Something g.soul esque. Isn't that the kind of music kai said he like preforming? Also g.soul was the one who wrote/produced I see you for kai remember that masterpiece? And now we went from that to something like confession or spoiler which are two solos I believe are way below kai's cailber. We have so may hiphop k artists specially 4th gen like we don't need anymore we need something refreshing, passionate, and poetic. But we're getting mhmm a overdone mainstream hiphop s*x song- great, I'm so excited 🙄(noted the extra sarcasm).

I don't mean to be a drag I know lots of people love hiphop and are into mainstream sounds and there's nothing wrong with that. And lots of people are still excited about Kai's solo debut regardless of the music he will release (which is perfectly fine too). I'm just so tried of and also fusterated by the same kind of comebacks over and over again like for the boys is hiphop style pop with like hardcore exercism type dancing and loud music and for the girls it's that same girl crush badass concept style music. Like there's nothing wrong with it, I like some songs with that style too I just think it's so overdone they're killing the vibe y'know? I miss when Kpop was more diverse and when concepts were always changing/rotating among groups. Like sm needs to come out with a song like electric shock or abstract like I got a boy or experimental like ring ding ding/sherlock mama/two moons, or something more fun but crazy like Mamacita, red flavour or married to the music.

Anyway I guess we'll just wait and see maybe it won't be as bad as I think. P.S. excited to watch amazing Saturday with taekai and I live alone.

So I’ll cut to the chase on this since a lot of people are dying, drowning, and screaming for help in Cagayan and Isabela, Philippines. A lot of them have also been stranded and are standing on their rooftops as we speak.

I’m here to post a collection of donation drives that I’ve gathered online. If we can’t help them physically, we can at least make sure they have monetary assistance, food and clothing once they’re evacuated.

This is how Cagayan looks, from recent photos (not mine)

TW: screams and shouts for help

HOW TO HELP

DONATION DRIVES

Please feel free to add on this post for any other ways to help.

For context:

The Philippines has been hit by three consecutive typhoons this month alone: Quinta, Rolly (Goni internationally) and Ulysses. It’s been hitting nearly the same areas, which has made them even more vulnerable now that they’re still recovering from the previous typhoons. Our mountain ranges couldn’t shield us from this due to heavy quarrying and deforestation.

That said, these aren’t the only places in need of assistance. But these are the places in urgent need of help. And we’re trying to do as best as we can with what little we have.

I’ll update this post from time to time for full transparency.

I don't usually reblog but everyone needs to read this just sayin'

200621 -> a woman who is famous among kfans due to her years of work in the entertainment industry was taking questions and said the sweetest things about jongdae! along with mentioning him specifically when asked about idols she thought had good character personality, she also said this:

energizer! he is the energy of both group and solo waiting rooms~ it is difficult to see him getting tired, i think he has good stamina! that's why he doesn't get irritated and he isn't sensitive! he is a generous person even to the mistake of others, so when he made a trip in vain after recieving a wrong rehearsal sequence, he laughed loud on purpose to not make the staff feel embarrassed. i also heard that when the props or brush went missing after rolling on the floor, he himself kneeled on the floor together with the staff go find it, while even postponing the time to leave work. it looks like members feel comfortable around jongdae! perhaps it's because jongdae is a friend who is sweet and funny without ups and downs. he takes good care of the staff, and is generous to whatever comes at him but he really hates being rude to members and company family. he is popular even to juniors~ there were kids who were really happy to run into jongdae in the bathroom~

To all my black followers and friends, stay safe.

Also, I would like to add that black lives have always mattered, will always matter.

It’s awful that we even have to say that because it should be a given. However, we need to say it loud and clear for the racists.

We cannot be silent.

Does anyone just avoid home beacuse it's such a negative environment??

Like I'd rather be anywhere but home beacuse someone at home is just a source of bad negative energy? ...but then you miss your sanctuary that is your bed/room so you crawl back anyway?
