Do y’all realize what is happening at the world right now. Typhoons, floods, earthquakes, tsunamis. It’s not only in one country it’s almost everywhere around the world. Here in Greece we also wait for a typhoon. Climate change is real. Stay safe if you are at a dangerous place.

There are plenty, plenty more of that. Oh, and here’s a scorching hot take from an aid group
CARE is closely monitoring the situation in Indonesia and is ready to respond if and when needed, after a 7.5 magnitude earthquake hit the island of Sulawesi today.
“Whilst CARE does not work in the affected area, we are monitoring the situation closely and have a team of 10 emergency response specialist ready to respond if needed,†said Wahyu Widayanto, CARE Indonesia’s Emergency Coodinator. “We are prepared and able to assist in the areas of water, sanitation and hygiene, shelter, sexual and reproductive health support and livelihoods assistance. Our thoughts are currently with all those affected by this terrible event.†he added.
Yup, they’re worried about women being able to get abortions in the wake of this natural disaster.
