To anyone who may be following me, to any of my mutuals who happen to see this,

I've posted a few articles about Iran, because I've become increasingly concerned about the situation over there. There was legislature proposed last July about a permanent internet shutdown, and as feared, it really looks like the Islamic Republic of Iran has since pushed it into law, or they're about to, despite having many Iranian citizens opposed to it.

There have been many protests in Iran over the insane increases made to prices of food products such as wheat and dairy, going far back since the beginning of May up til now, and not only has the government shut down the internet entirely during those weeks, but it's also been "cracking down" - as in, beating protesters on the street, throwing tear gas at them, and even opening fire at them (gun shots were heard).

And the internet shutdowns make it nearly impossible for Iranians to post videos documenting this on social media, and expose the regime's corruption and abuse of power. Their internet is heavily monitored by the govt. - certain websites are outright banned (such as Tumblr). They're not allowed to post their own opinions, or anything pro LGBTQIA, let alone even the slightest criticism of the regime, and the punishments they face for doing so are extremely severe. Against-human-rights-level-of-severe. As of now, these people are literally being silenced.

Before I continue, I just want to state that I don't know everything that's happening over there, far from it in fact - this is just from what I've read, and I might even have gotten a few details wrong. It's why I've been posting links to various articles, because I'd rather not have people solely take my very limited knowledge on the situation. If you can, please read some of the articles I've posted, or look into Iranian current news on your own.

If anyone is wondering about why I'm writing about something happening across the world from where I live: well, for one, this is something we should all probably get into the habit of doing, if only because Iranian people deserve our attention. So many posts were made about Ukraine and the devastating war over there, and rightly so, but Iranians are no less important than Ukrainians, and what's being done to them by their own government is genuinely horrific. Awareness needs to be brought to what's happening in Iran right now, we all should be spreading this as much as we can.

But another reason why I'm writing this is because... I know there have been many Iranians who have used Tumblr. Despite the regime's control, despite the banning of this site and many others. Iranian people have been on Tumblr, have been within our fandoms. Have played a huge part in those fandoms. There's a high chance you're following an Iranian person's blog right now, or are even mutuals with some. There are Iranian people who have posted beautiful fan art and written deep, poignant fanfiction. Iranian people who have written the most insightful meta of your favorite movies, shows, and characters that you've ever read. You're probably subscribed to them on AO3. And if you're like me - you've probably befriended them.

Which brings me to the heart of why I'm writing this at 2 am in the morning - bc they're not just random people on the other side of the globe - they're our friends! They're our favorite writers, and artists, and even outside of fandom, there's a chance you may have interacted with them, joked with them, sent them asks, shared shit posts and memes with each other. There's a high chance you know an Iranian person on this site, and you may have even noticed that they haven't posted in a while.

Because they can't. Because they're literally being silenced right now.

And what's the point of being on this site, what's the point of befriending all of these amazing people if we aren't even going to... make an effort to see how they're actually doing? To spread awareness to the infuriating injustices they're facing right now? Bring a light to all of the horrible things this damned regime is doing to them? Especially when they are literally being forcefully prevented from doing so at this time. We can't just ignore them now, while they're being silenced by a totalitarian regime.

And tbh... I'm not sure if this will actually impact anything in the end. I don't know if this will actually help them, I don't know if spreading the word will even do anything. I'm almost afraid that it might not. But it's the least we can do. Instead of just remaining blissfully ignorant, or worse - apathetically shrugging it off and just going about our day. We should at least try... we owe it to them to at least try, if nothing else.

We owe it to the people of Iran.

We owe it to our friends.

#Iran #islamic republic of iran #protests #internet shutdowns #this needs to spread like wildfire...#I'm not talking about this specific post - I'm talking about what's happening in Iran #The protests. The internet shutdowns. The unfair raised prices on basic food items. All of it. This needs to SPREAD LIKE WILDFIRE #Our friends are being silenced. They literally cannot post about this because of the internet shutdowns. So *we* *should*

phil using tags liberally thank god, new people (and some older users) take notes PLEASE TALK IN THE TAGS NOT EVERYTHING YOU WANNA SAY NEEDS TO BE IN THE POST BODY-

you CAN talk all you want, especially if you have something to add to the post. but when people reblog, they're gonna be reblogging with your addition. gets very annoying trying to reblog a post and there's a chain of 10 people going "LOL that's so crazy XD" "OMG NO WAY" "haha that was funny!" when it doesnt really add anything to the post

#also the love of god dont put a tag IN the post body. that literally doesnt work here #worst experience on this site is trying to reblog an old post with like 20 useless additions #EVERYONE NEEDS TO REBLOG THIS. SPREAD THIS LIKE WILDFIRE. THIS SHOULD BE ON EVERYONE'S DASH. etc #and then you try to reblog from OP just to reblog without all those additions. and they've deleted the post #h...#chat

allies or enemies by the crane wives is such a lucretia adventurezone song

#and i have such a vivid mental animatic for this one too #like. the first verse “the words i speak are wildfires and weeds / they spread like some awful damn disease”#that's the ipre standing on the starblaster deck overlooking the relic wars - gauntlet and gaia sash especially #“forget it all / you caught me in a moment weak” no explanation needed there that's magnus walking in on the redaction #in my head the next part is sometimes barry and sometimes taako (sometimes a different one for each chorus)#but i'm just thinking about. about “now you're not so quick to forget”#and “do we bow out and take our separate roads” and “i want to be let in not out” for after story and song #i wish i could art....#taz #taz balance #taz balance spoilers #lucretia taz

Please be more careful about accidentally stealing tags, especially on reblogging original art posts!

I know tumblr is a trashfire and there's issues with the app and accidental tag stealing. I operate on a 'good faith' interpretation system. But while copied tags are vaguely weird when it's 'normal' tags, annoying when it's very personal tags, hilarious when it's a personal tagging system suddenly appearing on a different blog, it's just plain wrong when you reblog original art from the op and tags like 'my art' or 'I drew a thing' are copied over!

Sure, every dolt with half a brain will probably be able to figure out it wasn't your original art if you reblogged it but as we all know, this site unfortunately has too many dolts with less brain than that.

(edit: I've been informed that the iOS glitch means you can't see if the tags get copied before you hit reblog, which sucks majorly. But if you use that app, maybe just form a habit of checking your blog every now and then to see if anything got copied over you didn't want to get copied or give blanket permission to people to point those posts out for you)

So.

Please be vigilant to NOT EVER copy tags like 'my art,' 'my writing' etc.

#please spread like wildfire #tumblr #how to tumble #hellhome #only on tumblr #reblogging etiquette #tumblr etiquette #I don't really produce a lot of original content these days but I've seen it happen too often lately #artists need you to reblog their art #they don't need you to (accidentally) pretend they made that art #I ought to blaze this but I'm too tired to figure out paying stuff #so please just reblog the hell out of it #break my notes #(try not to steal the tags in the process ... I won't mind but it'll just make you look weird)

Need Money, Commissions Open

Ah yas, another commission post because the other was a flop...ugh...starting to get a little discouraged but here we go...again, I’m just letting ya know that commissions are open because now I’m really in the need of some money. Literally anything will help and fanfics are $8 this time around. If you guys can either donate to my ko-fi or commission a fic from me, that would be amazing! If not, a reblog always helps as well <3

I do write smut/18+ things but I do not write anything to do with releasing body fluids or non-consensual themes. I also do not write character death either.

The fandoms/ships I write for are:

2Gether/Still 2gether-sarawatine and mantype

Tharntype- obviously tharntype

Kinnporsche- another obvious here, kinnporsche

My Engineer- Ramking (although I haven’t written for them in a long time)

Until We Meet Again- DeanPharm, WinTeam and KornIn

Dark Blue Kiss- PeteKao and MorkSun

Not Me- DanYok

Stray Kids- any pairing (has to be platonic tho)

BTS- any pairing (still has to be platonic)

The Untamed/Mo Dao Zu Shi- Wangxian

Tale Of A Thousand Stars/1000 Stars- PhuTian

Hi! Just wanna raise some awareness here because South America is on fucking fire and I need to see more people talking about this.

Source: RSOE EDIS x

Im just going to talk about the ones i'm closest to, but if you know about these fires, feel free to add in the reblogs!

Chile

In Chile there's (up to Feb 5) 160 wild fires, of which 40 are still trying to be controlled by authorities. The president, Gabriel Boric, has declared State of Emergency in the whole country, and theres a Red Alert Code in most part of the country.

Isla de Chiloé, Southern Chile (900 km away from Santiago de Chile)

This is a (recently controlled) fire that lasted a week, but many neighborhoods were burnt to the ground.

The whole South is in red alert for constant sudden fires that spread quickly due to the lack of rain and the elevated temperatues in the zone. Just today, two fires had to be controlled in the main land next to this island, and more are being reported in the Los Lagos region. This is added to the "controlled" intentional fires that farmers make to clean their fields of old crops along the Central-South parts of the country, mostly surrunding the main route, Ruta 5, that connects the whole country, thus making it hard to see and breathe because of the smoke. (flashnews, most of them get out of control quickly.)

Valparaiso/Viña del Mar, Central Chile (100 km away from Santiago de Chile)

A fire that started on Friday 2nd and grew exponentially because of the wind and the dry, hot climate. More than 100 people are dead, with 70 unrecognized bodies and other 400 that have dissapeared. At least 30000 people that have lost everything to the fire.

There's massive evacuations from this and the neighboring city, Viña Del Mar.

This is said to be the second most deadly fire in the century, surpased by Australia in 2009.

45000+ hectares that include land and neighborhoods have been burnt down.

I could go on about this one, so more info here and here

Argentina

Parque Los Alerces (Esquel), Chubut

The fire strarted on the 25th January, and the climate has made it hard to contain. 3000 hectares of native forest have been burnt to teh ground. It is now growing in the direction of the nearest city, Esquel. Theres been evacuations between yesterday and today (4 and 5th Febuary)

Parque Nahuel Huapi (Bariloche), Río Negro

The reason why im writing this. The city woke up today covered in smoke after a wildfire developed yesterday during the night. The reason? A fireplace that was not turned off in a place where people cannot disembark and can only be reached via boats.

As of now, there's not much information about the fire but hopefully the firefighters will be able to contain it before it reaches Tronador Mountain, where an ancient glaciar is.

...which leads me to the other point i wanted to talk about.

Firefighters

They volunteer to do this job.

In Argentina and Chile, firefighting is not rewarded with a salary, and most of the times they dont even have full firehouses to stay in. These people are at their houses, ready to jump into action and run to the station the second the alarm goes off.

They are neighbors, people that risk their lives and run into danger willingly, just because they want to help the community.

I felt the need to give a shout-out to these people and say:

Don't be a fucking dick, don't start fires in the woods unless it's an approved place, and if you do, TURN IT OFF.

Pour abundant water on it, and do not stop when you don't see any more flames.

Keep pouring water until the ashes don't burn/feel like room temperature in your hand if you put it 10 cm away from it, and even then, pour some more just to be sure.

No heat and no smoke mean a safely extinguished fire.

Save lives and forests.

#dont even get me started on the denial of climate change from my president #didnt wanna get political here #argentina #chile #argieposting #argieblr #soff speaks #wildfires
