I saw footage of police blocking the passage of firefighters in Patagonia, and of gringos getting caught starting fires. Some people were comparing the fires in Patagonia to the fires in the Pantanal a few years ago under bolsonaro.
It’s terrible we are all sharing the same story, it’s really time that we wake up and understand that nature is the patrimony of us all. I feel that there is already a sense of it, but it needs to become real political action.
All my thanks to the firefighters who are working on it, if I can find fundraisers or other ways to help them I’ll share them. You have no idea how much they’ve suffered, it’s heartbreaking, but they’re giving everything.
Unfortunately, Many children die of cold every day, and my baby Qais could become one of them, where cold becomes another weapon against children. I will not forgive being ignored without even a share.
Every night, I count my child’s breaths while the cold creeps closer. Silence terrifies me more than bombs. Share his story, donate now, and let humanity reach Qais before winter does.
I’m begging all my mutuals to pay attention to the wildfires in Argentinian Patagonia. Almost 10.000 acres of unique Patagonian Andean forests, with South America tallest and world’s oldest trees, burned and they were all intentional. The worst part is that back in December, the government announced that they would lift the ban on foreigners buying rural land, and on changing the land productive activity after a wildfire for 30-60 years. Firefighters are crying because they don’t have enough resources, the government cut their budget by 70% for this year, while they wasted 300 million dollars on F-16 jet fighters. It’s not just trees, it’s animals and people’s lives, whole towns, that have been endangered, more than 3000 tourists had to be evacuated. The climate catastrophe is worsening the fires, with less rain and more wind this summer.
This is the sorta segment I wish still existed in kids’ shows. Soothing voiceover, mellow music, no flashy graphics. Just a calm behind-the-scenes look at something you might call mundane but that most of us would never have a clue about if no one pulled the curtain back to reveal its inner workings.
Okay but imagine being in kindergarten and seeing something like this, you would absolutely change your mind about wanting to be a fire fighter or teacher or whatever Job you’ve been told is cool and possible to grow up to do because wait a minute it’s just like play-doh, there’s so much it’s kept in trash cans, you can use your hands to smear icing everywhere? It smells like cinnamon buns all the time?! Yes please!
I vaguely remember having a field trip to a bakery in kindergarten and thinking croissants were magical and that I wanted to make them in the future cuz kneading dough looked fun.
This is way more engaging and easier to watch than those sped-up videos with no voiceover and trashy pop music playing over the top.
It actually does make me remember similar segments in shows I watched growing up, like that one program. I don’t remember what exactly the segment was about but it followed a young boy, and he briefly mentioned stopping at a friend’s house and trying goat milk for the first time.
Very little else stuck with me but it sure made me curious about goat milk.
It’s not just ‘white’ they’re diving deep into every variant of ethnicity too. They want to single out exactly what country everyone’s parents hailed from.
