MOVED TO @VORMIIRS.

you might have heard about the amazonian rain forest in the news lately. maybe not, maybe so. most likely the former, because the media has decided to neglect to show that the forest that provides us 20% of the oxygen we breathe has been on fire for more than three weeks straight. são paulo, brazil’s largest city that’s over 2,000 kilometers away from the amazon, have seen massive black smoke and ashes clouding over their city, and its only going to get worse from here.

the president of brazil, who is outright ignoring what has been going on, has been funneling money towards lobbyists and industrial companies, and in turn draining from the environmental agencies that protect the rainforest. president bolsonaro had the director of the INPE fired after he defended scientific proof that deforestation was 88% higher in june that it was last year, claiming he was telling “lies”. he’s done nothing in response to the fires. no funds. no nothing.

here’s also an article you might find useful if you know very little about what’s going on.

please spread this. pressure governments into taking action. force the media to cover the news. donate if you can and reblog anyways. send the petitions links to everyone you know. do something.

“oh, so i’m a horrible person? i’m a bad friend? is that what you’re saying? maybe i should just leave you alone for good since everything i do seems to upset you.”

“i’m so fucking sorry, i’m sorry, oh my god, i don’t deserve to be alive, all i ever do is screw up and hurt people, i’m a terrible person, please don’t hate me - ”

“why does it make you uncomfortable? that seems like a weird thing to be uncomfortable about. please explain in minute detail and don’t forget to excavate the entirety of your tragic backstory so i can decide if it’s bad enough to justify your discomfort.”

“i mean, sure, but free speech - “ 

“okay, thank you for telling me. i may not fully understand why this thing is upsetting for you, but i will stop doing it because i care about your feelings.“
