We walked for about an hour and a half because there was no transportation available.

Along the entire way, rows of displaced families' tents stretched endlessly on both sides of the road. Entire families were living beneath thin sheets of fabric under the blazing summer sun.

The streets were flooded with sewage, and the smell was overwhelming, as if reminding us that this is not the life any human being deserves.

When we finally reached the sea, it was crowded. Not because people had come to relax, but because it has become the last place where an entire people can breathe after losing their homes, their parks, their streets, and every place that once made life feel normal.

On the way back, I had only one wish.

I wished someone would suddenly appear, smile, and say, "Cut... it was all just a hidden camera prank."

I wished I could open my eyes and find that the tents were gone, our homes had returned, children were back in their schools, and this endless suffering was finally over.

But reality was far more painful.

We walked home the same way we came through rows of tents, past the stench of sewage, carrying the weight of a homeland still waiting to come back to life.

Bitch before enriched flour, neural tube defects like spina bifida were far more common. Even now, spina bifida clinicians and researchers are begging to have salt and maize fortified to reach groups that don’t use as much flour. Before iodized salt, the United States had a fucking GOITER BELT. Eleven years after the introduction of fluoridated water, a city in Michigan found the rate of dental caries among school children dropped a staggering 60%— in an era where tooth decay regularly fucking killed people

I’m literally not even going to start on vaccines, which are among the most successful and robustly studied public health measures in world history

Whumper's feeling sadistic and about to try targeting someone? Whumpee is suddenly on the verge of tears, the most tempting target in range. Whumper is frustrated, wants someone to put down? Whumpee displays uncharacteristic defiance, clearly needing to be taught a lesson. Whumper feels unloved and is at risk of making it someone else's problem? Whumpee is there, maybe apologising for not loving them enough, or maybe telling them no one loves them to provoke anger at whumpee instead, or maybe even offering their body.

Always, whumpee is there, redirecting, manipulating, doing damage control.
