Don’t even look at me if you say you support bi/pan Lance but hate it when people ship him with girls or that canon shows him genuinely attracted to girls.
There have so far been 312 confirmed deaths but people are still digging through the rubble. Thousands of people are now homeless. It’s horrific, and to make things worse of all is that this was preventable. The horrible disaster was a result of carless construction on hills and terrain that was unsuitable just for the profit of the minister (a minsiter is the person who owns the land and gets paid to have people build on it) even though he was aware the land was unsuitable, he let construction happen away. This lead to hundreds of buildings being built on an unstable hillside and eventually crumbling. Keep Sierra Leone in your prayers.
please reblog, it’d be nice if more people were aware of what happened for when donations start becoming available (hopefully)
Are there any donations set up for the people, stores, etc? Or any organizations that are directly helping?
The Sierra Leone Telegraph set up a place for donations if you want to help! They have less than 1% of their goal raised right now, and these donations will be used to help the victims of this horrible flood
it’s kinda cool how our generation has created actual tone in the way we write online. like whether we: write properly with perfect grammar, shrthnd everythin, use capitals to emphasise The Point, use extra letters or characters for emotion!!!!!, and much more – it means we can have casual conversations, effectively make jokes using things like sarcasm that’s usually hard to understand without context and much more. this “incorrect English” has really opened avenues of online conversation that isn’t accessible with “correct English” which is pretty interesting
My class and I literally taught some of the nuances of this to our english teacher, things such as the difference between “yes” and “yes.” or “..” and “…”. It makes perfect sense linguistically that we would create this complexity to ease communication in a medium without body language and tone, but what my teacher was really floored about was that none of this had ever “learned” it, we’re “native speakers” of a whole new type of english.
