And to the Turks that lives in Istanbul; Materials are being collected so that the earthquake victims in Kahramanmaraş can be fed, and stay warm. Along with food, blankets, baby diapers and handkerchiefs are being collected too, In the news couple AFAD workers also said that their in need of garbage bag and medicane too. The stuff are being collected at "Avcılar Mesleki Teknik Anadolu Lisesi" on the European side and "Üsküdar Türkan Sabancı Görme Engellileri Okulu" on the Anatolian side.

Quotes from Long way down by Jason Reynolds

if you rb pls tag where your from and which ones you did! i live in texas and we did fire, tornado, shooter, and nuclear (there is a nuclear power plant near where i grew up and the plan was to hide under our desks and clench)

strike-slip

we were a transform fault

i see that now

strike-slip

i ignored the first earthquake

and the second

and the third

but this one was too big

and now its over

maybe it was never meant to last

or maybe i shouldnt have ignored the signs

Global Warming Will Increase Earthquake Hazards

Für Folge 129 von "Das Klima. Podcast zur Wissenschaft hinter der Krise" habe ich ein Opinion-Paper gelesen, dass auf Veränderungen der Erdbebenaktivitäten durch die Klimakrise aufmerksam macht.

19/09/1985-relief

32 years later

September nineteenth 2017, like every year on this day, there's an earthquake drill going on in Mexico city. A drill turns into reality, and a seismic wave of a 7.1 magnitude shakes the city-physically and emotionally. Videos begin circulating social media and news alerts begin coming in. I send the news out, I turn on the tv at work, I can't believe it. My initial reaction had been of outrage- how is this city still being built with insecure and cheap infrastructure if we all know it's basically on top of two tectonic plates. How can the government, even after the 1985 earthquake, the recent hurricanes, be so incompetent. But as the news developed into today's events of finding children of a kindergarten, a baby, and workers under the rubble, the tears came. I wasn't there, my family is safe, but the images of all the Mexican civilians, of my destroyed Mexico and how the saving of one person caused applause within the crowd was a feeling of relief. A Relief to know that now the Mexican army was there, hospitals were transferring all patients to safety, the government was responding, the people after hours of work, were still there- taking rubble out with buckets and people taking food and water to the workers, people were moving fast and effectively. A Relief to see the earthquake hadn't known what was gonna hit it.

Watch this solidarity- A country of corruption, of broken structures, of a broken economy, but not of broken people

Natural disasters, just like wars, have a way of testing humanity. The social fabric is weakened or strengthened by forces out of our reach. In every instance I do feel it, the tragedy of Harvey and Puerto Rico, of Bangladesh just weeks ago. But for obvious reasons, I felt this even more. Geographically, many states and countries are prone to natural disasters- one of them being Mexico City, and even so these same states and countries won't always have the best resources to get back up. But in Mexico's case, say what you will of the poverty and of the corruption, there's always a lending hand. Civilians are setting up safe-houses with food and basic necessities-zero NGOs, just a bunch of civilians helping each other out, and in every one of these catastrophic cases solidarity is what counts.

Renard the sea fox

Part 1: 🦊🎨

In a vibrant underwater world, Renard (or Ren for short), the sea fox, is born into a family of legendary artists. Despite having no limbs, he dreams of creating masterpieces. But his attempts to paint with his tail and teeth are met with laughter and mockery. Feeling defeated, Ren abandons his dreams, just like everyone abandoned him. 💔
