Will France stop treating its overseas territories like it’s the 19th century and they’re its colonies or will the situation blow out of proportion in a novel, tragic and despicable way again?

People can’t create more ways to cry for help, denounce cruelty, suffering, poverty and the disdain that continental France keeps giving the places that are remnants of its former glory.

But beyond that, there are people living there and it cannot go on like that.

My new crack headcannon is that Tammy and Noel are like siblings by technicality

Cyclone didn't wash them all away at the end like it should :(

Hi hi hi colgate <3 7, 19, 34, and 62 for the ask game 😌

hello my dearest most special darling lane <333

07: What did you last eat?

i've answered this twice, but because i am pushing these out at a snail's pace, i have had another meal! it was rigatoni w a marscapone and tomato sauce ft. basil, pancetta, and pecorino <3

19: Would you go back in time if you were given the chance?

this is such an interesting question; i'm nostalgic almost to a fault, i'd say. i spend a lot of time reminiscing about the past and daydreaming about the future, and sometimes it means i get a little bit lost from the present. but as tempting as it is to want to go back, i don't think i would <3

34: Who/what was your last dream about?

i was at a shrimp amusement park on a conveyor belt going through the mountains, and at this park there were good shrimp and bad shrimp; the good shrimp were just regular frozen shrimp, and the bad ones floated and glowed red :-\ i don't remember anything else, but it was a potent image nonetheless xx

62: What makes you happy?

cups of tea made by loved ones, the sound of tui, waking up to rain in the morning, catching the bus late at night after a gig, long n meandering conversations with people who care <333

Macron vows to rebuild Mayotte after cyclone devastation

French President Emmanuel Macron was met with angry residents of Mayotte, who urged him to help with critical issues plaguing the island in Chido’s aftermath. French President Emmanuel Macron visited the overseas territory of Mayotte, which was devastated by Cyclone Chido, where he pledged to help the struggling population rebuild. His office said he had extended his trip to stay the night on…

After the hurricane recovery is starting in the states and the damage is so bad in some places, they're either gone or don't have a single road left into town.

The power outage map for the states affected is honestly astounding. I actually know friends in southwestern Ohio that had a tornado/cyclonic thunderstorm from this system knock their power out.

Some places might not get power back for 2+ weeks.

The western half of North Carolina, where the Appalachian mountains are, is so badly damaged that some news stations are warning from any travel, and to consider every road closed until further notice.

Asherville is so damaged there seem to be almost no major roads left in or out of town.

The flooding from this storm is devastating and has destroyed entire towns and wiped some off the map. Damns and other infrastructure are failing all over the affected areas.

Until the flood waters recede sometime in the next few days, we won't have a full scope of just how badly people have been affected, nor will we have a final death toll.

Oh also, apparently the governor of Tennessee has not declared a state of emergency despite several places being catastrophically inundated. Instead he's done this, which is pissing a lot of people off.

My little reason for hope 💖

I live in Far North Queensland (Australia) and we had a huge cyclone this time last year and everything flooded, worse than a lot of areas have flooded before.

People lost everything, one of my favourite local community spots sunk because of the river changing course in the flooding and a lot of the grassland and trees by the river was wiped out along with my favourite birds long term nesting grounds.

It's been a year and life has moved on and it's so beautiful to see.

The locals have had Christmas lights up again and families are getting together and celebrating the new year. People's houses have been rebuilt and repaired and a lot of people who have had to move away are back.

Nature has settled back down and flourished around the newly changed river, the grass and trees are growing back and the land where it has struggled to grow have become fishing or motor cross spots for locals.

And best of all the Welcome Swallows are back nesting at the bridge! There are so many of them and they don't seem bothered at all that they've had to rebuild the same way their human neighbours have had to.

Yes the cyclone was devastating for humans and nature alike but we all grew past it. We rebuilt and everyone supported each other through it and there are long term fights going on politically to prevent new buildings in flood prone areas and new research to see how high flood waters might get if this happens again.

I love that!! Yes, climate change DOES mean more natural disasters, but nature will recover and humans can recover. Part of our job is now to promote that recovery as much as possible, for humans and nature (which we are a part of)
