Banesberry-anomoly - 『Running On Spite』

it is incredibly frustrating to see the non-response from westerners to what is arguably the worst natural disaster in recent memory. when the ukraine-russia war broke out, it was on everyone's blogs. everyone--at least on my dash--was trying to spread awareness of the humanitarian crisis. but now?

fucking crickets.

absolutely nothing.

this earthquake has already claimed 20k confirmed lives. it has only been 5 days. most wrecks have not been excavated yet.

we need all the help we can get, but not a single fucking person is doing anything to help spread the message. people who proudly put the ukrainian flag in their display names or in their bios are nowhere to be seen now. the influencers youtubers and tiktok micro-celebrities who shared donation posts and ukrainian refugee testimonials daily are dead silent now. why? why do you only care when the people dying are somewhat like you? do we need to be whiter to deserve your attention? or more christian? do we not deserve your energy as is? are we, turks and syrians, not humans?

im so fucking sorry if donation posts don't fit your blog's aesthetic or if the news are just so fucking draining for you. every single one of you motherfuckers living in the west should be ashamed of yourselves for how differently you are treating us versus how you treated ukrainians when the war broke out.

if this happened in any western country you'd all be making infographics on how to donate or help.

right now the only reason why people on my dash are devastated is because the rhythm guitarist from my chemical romance had a haircut.

all of you need to be doing better.

do better.

WHY IS DJ MUSIC MAN NOT ON THE TUMBLR SEXYMAN WIKI WTF

HE DESERVES IT

SOMEONE GET HIM ON THERE

RIGHT NOW OR WE'RE GONNA SCREAM

this is probably a frothing hot take but if you, as a minimum wage employee, get pissed about recreational shoplifters (i.e.: people not stealing for survival) because you think that shoplifting has any impact on your wage or job security

guess what! it's actually the corporation you work for that is threatening you. if they tell you wages are low because people are stealing, not only are they lying to you, the only reason they're telling you that is to make clear to you how precarious your employment is and how they see you as financially interchangeable to a tube of lipgloss. if your employer in any way telegraphs to you, explicitly or implicitly, that your livelihood is somehow tied to someone stealing something, this is a direct attempt to make you feel powerless, small and disposable

@auranecho

This is such a mood

they need to invent a brain that works.
