Fire Drill by Melanie Martinez would fit in THG. I think specifically TBOSAS but it doesn't matter.
And also the line from Sia's song Snowman "I want you to know that I'm never leaving 'cause I'm Mrs. Snow, 'til death we'll be freezing. Yeah, you are my home, my home for all seasons" could fit for a fanfiction where the reader is Coriolanus' wife.
Just saying...馃し

This is the second time in my life I鈥檝e had to call 911. We woke up this morning to the fire alarm going off in our suite. Once we finally got it silenced we realized it was going off in the entire building. A few of the neighbours said they could smell smoke, so everyone(almost everyone) began evacuating and waited outside in a torrential downpour. Those of us that have cars waited in them.
As nice as it was to meet some of our neighbours, this was not the way to do it.
This is when we found our landlord needs to present a fire evacuation plan to tenants, and run drills at least once a year. No one knew what to do. Some people just sat on their balconies, some went for a walk, others stood right next to the building. No one knew where the muster points were, honestly, none of us were looking for them on a map as we tried to herd our kids out into the rain at 1am. This is also why they need to crackdown on tenants smoking inside the building. That was the smoke everyone could smell, and the storm is why we were standing in the rain at 1am. If this were a real fire, it would have been a disaster.
I鈥檇 like to thank the Winnipeg Fire Department for their quick response and ensuring it was safe for us to return to our apartments.

I firmly hate the state of America especially right now
Cw: this is about gun violence
Before this post goes on please know that I am fortunate enough to have been sheltered from a lot of what I will bring up later in this past. And that even as shitty as this my sound, Truthfully I ignore most national news if it doesn't affect me. So please take this with both a grain of salt and a grain of sugar because this is no longer something that I am ignoring.
For context I live in a neighborhood where there is a non zero amount of people who celebrate Diwali. Now I personally don't know much (anything) about Diwali (I'll educate myself at somepoint) but I have just recently learned that fireworks are involved.
For further context I have at least one neighbor who has a gun, and said neighbor sometimes likes to fire it into the air at night at random. Why? Idk. Are there other neighbors that do this? Idk but I haven't ruled it out.
Now for the part that I hate, and I don't hold this against the people, thus was just my automatic reaction. So fire works started going off, and I'm in bed none the wiser, and I hear the first of the fire works go off. And in a moment I will realize 'oh its just a firework'
But my initial response? "Oh shit. Who the fuck has their gun out at 6pm and why the hell are they firing it in a neighborhood full of kids?"
There would be (are currently) lapses in the fireworks and any time they started up again, this happened. And it actually makes my heart do this kinda unsettling jump thing, and I hate it.
Now, again, I want to say that this is nobody's fault. I don't have a problem with cultural traditions, I really respect them, and I tried to be respectful in this post even with my limited knowledge (please tell me if I was disrespectful at any point and I will do my best to amed it asap). But the fact that this was my initial reaction (or even a reaction at all) probably means there is a problem in america.
So yeah I just wanted to share this because, everyone talks about the state of America, and bring politics into it, and I just wanted to say it goes deeper than that.
I also want to say that I've seen tiktoks about some non-Americans (definitely not all, but enough that I noticed, and I generally am not on that side ot tiktok) like to bring up school shootings when making fun of America. And I want to say IT IS NOT FUNNY!! It's a real issue, and real people die, real CHILDREN die. And you're laughing about it?
And that's not the only way it affects people. It's very traumatic, even for the kids who haven't physically gone through one, even for the kids who only have to learn about it.
Do you know how bad it has to be a kid in kindergarten and learning about active shooter drills. Do do know how heartbreaking it is for a parent to have to send their kindergartener (or any child for that matter) to school knowing that their backpack weighs just a little more because it holds a kevlar insert in it, on the hopes that on the off chance that a shooter does come for them that their child(ren) will be a little safer.
Everyone grows up with fire drill, and tornado warnings. I am now out of highschool (secondary school) since 2 years ago. I had two (2) tornado drills in 7 years (one was a really bad storm featuring tornado warnings, so is it really a drill?). I had one fire drill for each year I was in school, but none of which were ever real, nor were they close to real. I never once had to truely worry about a real fire. I had three (3) intruder drills, one for each school (elementary, middle, high), there is one (1) time my sister had an intruder drill, this was probably 7-8 years ago, there was a robbery nearby, but it got nowhere near the school (teaching was still actively happening)
Now I want you to think about how 3 something 4 times a year kids have to go through a shooter drill. How many times has teaching been interrupted for this? How many times has a kid seen real life scenarios of this happening with real consequences? (How many times has a school truely caught on fire or been hit by a tornado?)
There are kids (honestly it's most of them at this point) who know in their heart that the shooter drills probably won't save them if it happens to them. There are kids who are actively accepting the fact that they may have to take a life to save their own.
I saw a tiktok of a kid who said he has an escape plan for every single room in the school. Let me repeat that. EVERY. SINGLE. ROOM. And I know for a fact that that kid is not alone. I know for a fact that I too was constantly looking for ways of escape. I too was thinking about how if I couldn't escape, how I could use my use my desk to hide for a single moment. Did you know we were taught to line desks and tables up behind the door all the way to the wall so the door couldn't open? Kids were thinking about how to stab someone in the neck with scissors. Or how to bash a skull open with a holepuncher or a tape dispenser, or how to blind someone by throwing their backpacks. Kids are taught to put their backpacks an their front so that they have more protection.
THIS IS NOT FUNNY! THIS IS SCARY!
The state of America is horrific, and it's actively changing the way children are learning, and viewing the world. Children are actively being taught that they are not safe, and they just have to live with that. Kids are growing up fearful and they don't even know it. They don't know that it isn't normal to step into a classroom and note the desks, and wall position, and if/where there are windows, and how that relates to the door. They don't know that it isn't normal to have to live with a "them or me" mentality and yet they do.
What does this mean for the future?
And for the love of whatever you love PLEASE DON'T JOKE ABOUT IT!
