This isn’t the type of thing I usually post about but here are some photos of the bushfire situation right now here in Australia. There are no filters on these photos, the red colour is from ember storms created by strong winds and immense heat. I hope everyone is staying safe and my prayers and thoughts go out to everyone affected by these horrific blazes, especially the thousands nearby in Mallacoota where it is now too late to leave.

#hope everyone is ok and the conditions improve soon #australia #bushfires #nswfires #vicfires

Australia’s Burning

Saw a few tweets on twitter from international people saying that us aussie people should stop begging for donations. To put this into perspective for you:

- our fires started in september 2019 in spring WAY before our fire season even begun.

- the government has cut the budget for volunteer fire fighters which means that they are mostly unable to purchase good quality uniforms and good quality breathing equipment to even protect themselves when on the front line of these ferocious fires.

- the government + national parks had ALL winter to back burn australia to limit the amount of bushfires but chose not to.

- each day is getting worse and worse. Every thunder storm with lightning that we get that doesn’t have rain causes more fires and is happening more frequently.

- businesses are closing and burning down. People are unable to purchase medication, fuel for their cars when fleeing their own town, food, running out of water + unable to buy baby food.

- around 23 people have died + over 20 people are missing. This is just in NSW + VIC and include 3 fire fighters who had loving families.

- over a thousand homes have been lost (around 1.4 i think?)

- canberra, the capital city of australia, has the WORST air quality in the world right now, in which it has killed one person and they weren’t even near any fires, the smoke got to them. The smoke from these fires have been reaching NZ since NOVEMBER.

- people have spent 3+ hours in traffic when fleeing their towns only to travel 2-7km’s and that’s not very far + some have spent days on the shorelines of australia either on boats or waiting for the navy or other australian defence teams to come pick them up, that’s how bad these fires are.

- towns are being wiped off the maps of australia.

- over HALF A BILLION animals (koalas, kangaroos + cattle mostly) have PERISHED in these fires. Koalas are already endangered and were already on the brink of extinction before these fires even started. Farmers have had to shoot their cattle because their injuries have been so severe and there’s nothing more they could do for them.

- one of australia’s most popular islands is nearly all on fire.

- over 4 MILLION hectares has been burnt and that’s more than the cali + amazon fires COMBINED.

- each day is getting more catastrophic than the last. Some people are given days to flee and if they don’t leave by a certain day they will probably not be allowed to leave at all.

- people are opening their own homes to 20+ completely strangers just so they have somewhere to stay.

We understand why you can’t donate and if you can we are very grateful for your donation. We are also very grateful if you even spread awareness by talking about it, rt’ing things, reblogging things etc, sharing links so others are able to donate. I’m sorry if we sound like we’re BEGGING for donations, we just want to be heard, helped and we want this to be over.

I will reblog with links that are helping our fire fighters + communities.

Thank you 💗

As the world celebrates New Year’s Eve, please spare a moment to think about the people across Australia today who’s homes are in the path of the bushfires raging across the country

Here’s a few photos of conditions today in Nowra, Mallacoota, Merinbula, East Gippsland, Huskisson, and Batemans Bay. (shared by @ABCemergency’s Twitter)

Many residents in affected areas are evacuating to the beach/ocean after the fires have blocked off roads

Note that all of these photos were taken before sunset, there’s just a LOT of smoke

Those posts about how you’re allowed to ignore news if its triggering is valid to an extent but seeing one while my country is in the middle of a massive and unprecedented disaster fucking hurts. More than a dozen people are dead, more are missing and half a billion animals have been incinerated.

You cannot stick your head in the sand when an entire country is in crisis

The American dollar is far stronger than the Australian, so here is an article and tumblr post with links to how you can donate, even a small donation on the part of an American will go a long way here

Pasteup in Bondi, Sydney portraying the Prime Minister Scott Morrison's response to the unprecedented bushfire season across Australia which has blanketed cities in thick smoke for weeks-on-end. The PM, a fundamentalist Christian and avid supporter of coal mining, has downplayed the ongoing environmental catastrophe and merely told people to calm down.

The lawn cemetery roos make the most of the only green grass left in Queanbeyan, but still struggle under the blanket of smoke

one million hectares burnt to the ground in a matter of days.

it's spring in Australia. summer will be worse. our government cut funding to the fire services, and their complete inaction on climate change actively make the fires more deadly. help us get the word out! -13/11/19

More tragedy...

In tears to hear the news that three American firefighters were tragically killed yesterday in a plane crash as they tried to fight an out of control blaze in southern NSW.

They came thousands of miles to help us, missing the holidays with their families, and now... it’s so sad. :(

RIP to them and everyone who has lost their lives so far this season. 29 people so far ... and more than a billion animals.

And let’s not forget the land... more than 10 million hectares burnt, last I heard. That’s not much less than the whole of England.

#personal #nswfires #more tragedy #australia #brave firies #thank you #:(

[determined-mind]

Even if you yourself can't afford to donate, please share this in hopes of it reaching people who are in a position that can afford to. If all my followers even donated $1, these organisations would have close to an exta $9000, wouldn't that be amazing??

Even $5. Even if it means not getting your takeaway coffee tomorrow.

I know these posts aren't aesthetically pleasing to have on your blog but this is urgent. My home is on fire and these animals are suffering the most. 💔

I appreciate the international support on the Australian bush fire situation over the last week, but some of you REALLY need to stop saying stuff suggesting that this has only been an issue since New Year's, because that happens to be when you first heard about it

We have not been terrified and monitoring fire conditions since September for y'all to act like this appeared out of nowhere a week ago

I appreciate that many of you didn't know, and am super thankful for the kind donations, but knock it off
