I Do Not Think People Are Understanding That For People In The Carolinas There Was No Naive And Stupid

I do not think people are understanding that for people in the Carolinas there was no naive and stupid choice to stay in the hurricane instead of evacuating, the Carolinas are regularly hit by hurricanes after they've tanked in severity, no one communicated to them that it was going to get this bad. This isn't "rich people from florida" beach house antics, these are overwhelmingly rural and poor areas full of people with no flood infrastructure, no warning, and nowhere to go. It is impossible to truly toll the death this has caused, hundreds of people are missing, emergency services are having to leave corpses behind because there are so many more living people to deal with. And this is the people who had homes, who had the physical ability to try to escape! Nobody told them this would happen. This is what it looks like to have no emergency weather preparedness, no warning, in terrain that will trap you where you are. This is the mountains we're talking about- All water flows straight into the river valleys where most people live, and seeking higher ground risks you mudslides and rock slides, the ground will fall out from underneath you. This is going to keep happening, and nobody is going to care until it's their problem- And then they're gonna ask why no one is helping.

A lot of places to donate are evangelical groups that will keep more of your money than distribute aid (all while using the disaster to recruit), if you are looking into an org to donate to PLEASE AVOID THESE, THEY ARE NOT GOING TO BE HELPFUL IN A DISASTER SCENARIO, ANY OTHER CHARITY IS PREFERABLE, they're rarely helpful to their community under normal circumstances. Seek out individual people in need to send aid directly if you can, I'm positive a lot of gofundmes will be popping up in the near future as cities begin to regain power, otherwise the Red Cross is always taking donations and has historically provided the most relief for natural disaster survivors, you can also donate to United Way of Asheville and Buncombe County, an org run by officials in Asheville, which is one of the most immediately endangered areas of western NC and greatly in need of drinkable water.

most hated freak. let's kill him with rocks and hammers

Kian wholeheartedly believes in like, the healing power of crystals or whatever because his parents drilled it into him as a kid. Alongside his ABCs he was learning the spiritual properties of rose quartz. Part of a larger, somewhat textually supported(?) headcanon that his parents were in some kind of cult/ spiritual hippie commune and he grew up adjacent to it

gillion tidestrider would find out what being gender fluid means and hed be like “by the gods… even my gender can be wet… we truly are blessed” and jay is like “gill it doesnt mean your gender is wet- it just means you could be a girl one day and a boy the next. or you can be anything any day!” and gill grabs her shoulders and looks into her eyes with the most dead serious look shes ever seen on him and says “jay i can be not only the wettest man alive.. i can also be the wettest WOMAN OR OTHER alive.”
