Text: “Don’t eat all the pecans, I’m making a pie later.”

Me, a fool, eating all of the pecans: “Sorry, stolen phone. No idea who this is.”

“I’m serious.”

“Okay,” I eat the last of them, “No problem.”

I run to the store. I have a meeting in an hour, the store is 5 minutes away. Plenty of time.

“Excuse me? Where are the pecans?”

“Oh, we ran out like an hour ago.”

“I’m sorry?”

“Yeah. Maybe Other Store.”

I go to the other store. They are also out. I try a third store. I am pleading with vendors, I am thrust into the spiral of shame and horror as the curse of hubris and my love of snacks dooms me. I am bereft of the last vestiges of humanity, left to wander the streets, a mad ghoul, mumbling about unmeetable needs.

Mexico needs you if you don’t live in here.

If you are in Tumblr, and don’t live in Mexico, I need you to reblog this until it gets to many countries.
The government of my country is taking people away. They are suffering of torture. Physical and psychological.
They are spreading terror.
Tonight, the 8th of november, we took streets in Mexico City and after we walked peacefully, a strange and anarchist group with masked faces put the main entrance of “Palacio Nacional” on fire.
They didn’t came with us.
We were walking in peace. Yelling, yes. A lot. But in peace.
We are fighting against violence, so it is really, really stupid to claim for peace, with actions like these.
This is not new in Mexico. The government always use these payed groups of people to criminalise any social movement.
But we are possibly heading to a new era in our country.
We are tired of corruption. We are tired of cold assassination. We are tired of the criminals who can walk in peace, and we are tired that both police and military forces protect them.
We are so alone right now.
We are so unprotected right now.
We are not scared. We are terrorised.
We need you to focus your attention for the next few days, so they don’t dissappear and kill more of our young people.
Government are killing people just because they can, and no one can stop them.
We have no weapons, and we don’t want some.
We want to make a change after 70 years of corrupcy. They have took everything.
They took our faith, our hope, our jobs, our dreams.
They are destroying us.
My country is one of the most beautiful and interesting countries in the world, and now foreign people are even recommended not to visit this beautiful land because of insecurity.
We need you to reblog everything about Mexico these days.
Don’t leave us alone.
Don’t leave us to get killed.
Don’t leave us to get burned, like our missing 43 students.
Don’t leave us to be forgotten.
Please don’t leave us.

Dark times all around but there are still people out there who love you

Do not hurt yourself, do not hurt others, get help, talk to someone, anyone. Humanity has survived before and we can do it now if we all just support each other. My country and my people let me down and endangered my life but there’s nothing I or anyone else can do about that so let’s try to spread the love that is so clearly lacking.

This tumblr will go back to posting photos of gothy eye candy and cute animals very soon, because *I* need things that make me feel better, and I’m sure the rest of you do too.

With that said: what can we do now?

  • Stand with those at risk. Suport PoC, GLBTQ folks, women, folks with disabilities, anyone who is “other” and is going to be a target. 
  • VOTE IN THE 2018 MIDTERMS. 33 Senate houses will be up, and all 235 seats in the House. We need to flip those.
  • Donate, if you can. Time, money, energy. Planned Parenthood, local food banks, local shelters for at-risk folks. 
  • Take care of yourselves. 

I love you.
