Well, it’s been a good almost 2 years on jet-plane-sims, but I’m moving blogs! I want to reboot my story in a new space, as well as post new kinds of content like music, which is why I made a new blog. Don’t worry, this blog will still be up if you want to read my old story.
Thanks to everyone who followed me or read my story on this blog, you guys are awesome! If you want to see what my characters are up to next, follow me on @hedgehogs-and-songbirds!
Hey everyone! Welcome to my new blog!
I’m Ellie, and I make stories and edits in TS4. I’m 19 and use she/her pronouns.
I was previously jet-plane-sims, as well as simmyfresh and moronaspiration. I decided to use this blog (previously my TS3 blog) to start my story fresh and change up a few things.
I’m also going to use this blog to post edits and renders, as well as some non-sims things like my music. Give me a follow if you’re interested, and look out for new posts coming soon!
fellow desis living abroad or anyone else really who can and wants to help india out: here's a list of resources and a bunch of charities that are accepting international donations
for perspective $20 (US) = ₹1500 and that can help a lot. if you are unable to, please spread the word as much as you can. the situation has gotten out of hand and the govt doesn't want to do jackshit even when the hospitals are on the brink of collapse.
here's some links if you want to read more about what's going on, trigger warnings for death mentions and graphic imagery : (x) (x) (x)
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.
now that george floyd’s murderer is behind bars, let’s help support the people who helped with the guilty verdict as well as george’s family. the fight is hardly over.
darnella’s fund - darnella was the young woman who filmed george’s last moments.
gianna’s fund - george’s daughter who has now been left without a father.
I am once again here because my other accounts here was terminated due to some people who's reporting it. PLEASE IF YOU DON'T WANT TO SHARE I'M BEGGING, JUST DONT REPORT ANYTHING just FOR MY SON'S life it would help 🙏🙏😣
My son is diagnosed with langerhans cell hitosytiosis (LCH)
HE'S ALWAYS HAVING A CTSCAN EVERY WEEK..BUT THIS LAST MONTHS,IT WAS VERY TOUGH BECAUSE HIS LUMP IS GETTING BIGGER AGAIN AND AGAIN AND causing him to suffer 💔

if cis women can bulk up and wear baggy pants and crop their hair short and go without makeup or shaving their pits/legs/anywhere else, co-opt traditionally ‘masculine’ behaviors, and still be viewed as women–even praised for how very feminist they are in doing so–then so can trans women. that’s it. end of.
and if cis men who love fashion and florals and pink, and wear dresses and makeup and love to bake, can be comfortable in their masculinity and praised as revolutionary for doing so, then–you guessed it–so can trans men. that’s it. end of.
not one single person on earth has any right to dictate how anyone else pilots their respective flesh suits. not one single person on earth has any right to claim someone is ‘faking’ their gender or performing a gender incorrectly when gender is arbitrary as hell as-is.
