#greece fires

Hey there! Just a heads-up, a lot of these posts you're reblogging are from the 2021 fires so the links for donations won't be accurate. Please pay attention to the dates

Oh shoot, thanks for the heads up! My brain is absolutely fried from this weird fever I have, LOL. I guess Tumblr's "Latest" post filter does not work...

The fires are not natural, they are arsons. They were started strategically on Sunday, a day with strong winds. This September has been one of the coolest we had in Greece in years. We have been discussing how this time autumn came straight away as opposed to previous Septembers when it was just elongated hot summer.

Corinth meteorological report:

The fire started on September 29th, a little after 10:30 AM. This means that the temperature at the moment would be around 24-25 degrees. (The highest temperature of the day is usually reached after 12 PM.) The winds would possibly have made the felt temperature lower. You do not get spontaneous wildfires in 25 degrees max.

EDIT: Oh I forgot. This data is from the city of the region. The fire actually started outside a village in an elevation, on a mountain. Which means the actual temperature in the starting point of the fire was in fact lower than 24-25 degrees, possibly around 21-23 degrees.

Please remember when you are talking about Greece fires, call it what it is in 99% of the cases: arson.

November 1, 2023 - Antifascists in Greece attack riot police who were protecting a neonazi gathering in Athens. The nazis were commemorating two Golden Dawn pieces of shit who were shot dead by antifascists in 2013 in response to the murder of antifascist Pavlos Fyssas by Golden Dawn members. [video]

PJO: we need to recognize the value of the minor gods. The Olympians are important, sure, but the minor gods do a lot of work in maintaining and assisting the pantheon, have their own kids and deserve to be seen and valued just as much

HoO: Back at it again with Olympian-only nonsense!

I started doing end of the year TBR last year and it went horribly… So here I am trying again!

24 books I want to read before 2024 is over. My hopes are abysmal but we will see! Big thanks to NetGalley for doubling my TBR with a few ARCs!

QOTD: Do keep to a strict list when working through your TBR or are you a mood reader?

"The doom in Our Blood comes Back" characters portraits, OCs version:

Lada Rogare

"Lady Lada Rogare is one the side characters that compare in this story and one of the OC created especially for this fic. She's the fourth and the youngest legitimate daughter of the First Magister of Lys, Lysario Roagre and his wife Lynesse Vhassyl; she has ten siblings - Lysaro Rogare, Fredo Rogare, Roggerio Rogare, Lysara Rogare, Moredo Rogare, Lotho Rogare, Drako Rogare, Marissa Rogare, Lysillos Rogare and Larissa Roagre - and other sixteen half-siblings. Like many noble families throughout the decades House Rogare, thanks to its influence, succeeded in having members of their family invested with important religious positions; many were the Maidens of Love - young priestesses devoted to the Goddess Adera, who were consecrated to religious life until they turned eighteen years of age - who came from their House. One of them is Lada, who became a priestess of the Goddess Adera at the age of ten, later becoming First Maiden at fourteen, who is the second most important authority on the island, after the Council of Magisters. As soon turned eighteen Lada is finally free to leave the religious life and finally get married; because of her importance her father - after having survived to a tempted assassination -decides to flee her to King's Landing, where her sister Larissa lives, in order to protect her. There she will met Alyn Velaryon, with whom she will lose her precious maidenhood: because the two had been discovered they are forced to get married. " - from the TDIOBCB wiki
