since the post above, three more people have died and thousands of more homes have burned down, but thankfully some of the fires have been extinguished. but this doesn’t mean the fight is over.

these photos were taken in the province of Antalya, one of our biggest tourism centers. for decades, people have been setting entire forests on fire in touristic places to make room for their huge, 5-star hotels and resorts. everyone knows this. the government knows this.

for anyone that doesn’t know, our government is as corrupt as it gets (i’m not gonna go into details, or we’d be here all day and i’d probably get arrested). they’re trying to cover up these news with the resignation of the minister of education. what’s more, so far, the only fire-extinguishing planes we have were sent to us by Russia. not our own government.

they don’t care for us.

our only hope is you. even a single Euro/Dollar you donate would make a difference.

Turkey needs all the HELP it can get right now. If this shows up on your blog please don’t just ignore. Reblog it, if you can, donate.

And nothing about that minimizes this love at all. I think this love is quiet. Not cumbersome. Not overwhelming. More comforting and light. It’s like putting on a sweatshirt that fits you so well that you’ve forgotten about and left at the back of your closet. It’s familiar in ways you can’t put into words.
