on the 24th of june, a national holiday commemorating the battle of carabobo during the war of independence as well as st. john's day, at around 6pm, venezuela was hit with back-to-back 7.2 and 7.5 magnitude earthquakes.

i thought the bombing of caracas in january 3rd earlier this year was the scariest thing i'd experienced. i take that back. this was the scariest thing i've experienced in my life. and the thing is i wasn't even hurt, my building took little to no damage and my family is fine and accounted for (thank god for that!) but i feel so sick because the damage has been devastating in other parts of the country and i can't stop thinking about the thousands of people who lost their homes, their loved ones and their lives throughout this whole thing, and how the death toll will continue to rise as hospitals are understaffed and rescue teams are underequipped. i'm enraged because we are so underprepared for a disaster like this, because this government doesn't give a fuck about its people and the money that could've gone for disaster prevention and relief was all pocketed by the regime. blood on their hands, if there was even room for any more than they already had.

it's 9am as i type this and i haven't slept at all since yesterday. i felt aftershocks through the night and even right now. some of them might have been my own paranoia and stress from the situation but others were definitely very real.

i'm still trying to process it. this is the biggest natural disaster to hit venezuela in our lifetime.

if you have relatives or you know somebody from venezuela and you can't get ahold of them after the earthquakes, try to see if you can find them in the following sites: (y si eres de venezuela, por favor contribuye con reportes de lo que sepas)

The Kickstarter for The Three Tomes : Episode 2 isn't over yet! Can we hit our stretch goals for Fully Animating The Opening theme? Can we hit the strech goals for Additional Animated Sequences to see the characters move even more? Can we hit our stretch goal for episode 3!?

Share and pledge if you can to support the story of a bi Black girl witch in the midwest. No more disposable black girlfriends.. no more questioning of Black characters in fantasy. The Three Tomes shows that Black folks can be whimsical, magical and loved in all types of stories...stories that don't center our pain. Too often Black femmes in media are stepping stones for " the real relationship". Too often queer identity is placed into a box and if someone isn't presenting a certain way they aren't queer enough. The Three Tomes has a spectrum of black queer characters ... bisexual, nonbinary, lesbian, gay etc... and it's so important to have that representation normalized and seen... people exist in many ways and their queerness is valid no matter what. A Bi Teen girl witch falling for two bi/pan vampire boys ... a lesbian witch and a nonbinary human, two gay vampire men...a story about change, grief and accepting that people come and go in your life and love comes in many forms. Help this story grow and show black folks in fantasy and romantasy. An Action adventure with romance awaits!

each one a memory
