slightly above average.

This is a summary of college only using two pictures; expensive as hell.

That’s my Sociology “book”. In fact what it is is a piece of paper with codes written on it to allow me to access an electronic version of a book. I was told by my professor that I could not buy any other paperback version, or use another code, so I was left with no option other than buying a piece of paper for over $200. Best part about all this is my professor wrote the books; there’s something hilariously sadistic about that. So I pretty much doled out $200 for a current edition of an online textbook that is no different than an older, paperback edition of the same book for $5; yeah, I checked. My mistake for listening to my professor.

This is why we download.

I had always hoped I’d never have to do this.But because my 18th birthday arrives in less than two months, the U.S. government is closing my case.

My name is Jesse Singh. I was born in Salem, Oregon to Dawna LaLonde and Preet Singh in 1997, and lived there until late 2000. I haven’t seen my father since I was three and have been trying to find him since I was about 10 years old. My search has been futile thus far and I am becoming more and more hopeless, so I have finally decided to come to the internet for help with the hopes that maybe social media will be the key to finding him

My fathers birthname is G.Preetvinderpal Singh, but he used to go by Preet or Jack. He was 23 years old when I was born, putting him at around 40 years old now. He is Sihk, from Malaysia, and is of Malaysian descent. I know he speaks English fluently and I believe that he also speaks Punjabi fluently, though I am not positive. The last known address I’ve found for him puts him in Quebec somewhere. My grandparents are Retired Major Kirpal Singh and Mohinder Singh, my great-grandparents are Sewa Singh and Thermo Kaur. I know there’s a very slim chance of me finding him but I have to try everything. I can’t put into words how desperate I am to find him. If you know him or of him or even of someone else who might know him, please feel free to send me a message here on tumblr or an email at [email protected] . I have more pictures available for anyone who needs more to be sure. Even if you don’t know him, please please please reblog this, so that maybe someone who does can see this and help. 

At this very moment, genocide is occurring in Aleppo, Syria. We are being tortured, raped, slaughtered, and basically exterminated indiscriminately. There is no aid, medicine, food, or tools of survival. There are no hospitals, schools, homes, or any safe haven. There is no body or causality count anymore, there are too many to be accounted for. The White Helmets have officially announced that they are essentially powerless and paralyzed; they have stopped counting the dead, only stopping to wrap bodies in orange bags. Men and male children are forcefully being conscripted into the regime army or massacred in mass executions. There are official reports of women asking their husbands to kill them before being conscripted or executed in fear of mass rape and other atrocities they may face. Aleppo and Hama have suffered chemical attacks that have left seemingly unharmed children lining mosque floors dead. The about 100,000 people left in the city that haven’t died or been displaced are moving from one neighborhood to the other as regime and Russian forces close in. They are running only to fruitlessly go through the action, only to feel like they are trying: it’s of no use. The city is blockaded and there are ongoing airstrikes. There is no way out. There is no escape. This is essentially a cat and mouse game. There is no hope. We are literally asking God for divine help and miracles.

There are claims that “Aleppo is falling”; however, it has FALLEN. Russian and regime offenses have taken 96% of the city. Officials say that Russia and the Syrian regime have agreed to a peace deal and/or ceasefire, but live reports from Aleppo confirm it has yet to be implemented. The siege is ongoing. There is no going back from this. What has occurred these past two days is a genocide that was live-streamed to a world still in denial about our suffering. All we asked for was an end to emergency/martial law, yet we received six years of pure agony

Humanity has failed us. The international community has failed us. We are the worst human rights violation since World War 2. We are Obama’s and the UN’s Rwanda. Please save us. Call your representative. Donate to the White Helmets, Syria Relief, Save the Children, etc. Spread the word. Tell the truth. Do anything you possibly can.
