She also wrote their names in the sand with her blood, went on to identify them and have them arrested for what they did to her. She's not just a survivor. She's a literal warrior.
NON-VENEZUELANS IN THE US WHO WANT TO DONATE AND HELP!!
Venezuelans are working all around the country non stop in recollection centers for humanitarian aid to gather donations for the victims of the earthquakes. If you don’t know where to send donations please reply or reach out and I will gladly find a center near you. It might be on the way to work or near your grocery store and all it takes is a few minutes to send something that can save a life.
Please spread the word because Venezuelans everywhere are ready to put the hours but we need donations from everyone!!
Hi. Nelsonmom here! I popped into the @PetSmart in Victoria, TX (store #1449) on a whim and found this: water so putrid you can’t even see the bettas through the cloud of their own waste. One was floating at the top of their cup, on the edge of death.
Do you know how many DAYS of neglect it takes for water to get like this? In cups this small, water changes should happen once a day, at a minimum.
Every time a fish breathes out, they produce ammonia into this closed system. When they breathe it back in, it burns their gills. It *hurts*. It causes psychological stress and organ damage.
Every. Single. Breath.
Treating fish like this at the start of their journey sets them up for shorter lives, weaker immune systems, and greater susceptibility to illness, even if they’re lucky enough to get a perfect owner and setup (and many of them will not get the perfect owner and setup).
I asked an employee in the fish department when they’re going to chance the bettas’ water — that they’re “rotting in their own waste” — and I received the most disinterested, uncaring “soon” of all time.
Meanwhile there was a cart of freshly-unboxed bettas in their medicated, Methylene blue water nearby. The latest recruits in a chain of corporate cruelty that sees living animals as disposable products.
Betta fish are the most delightful, wonderful creatures with unique personalities. It sickens me to my CORE to see a dozen+ little lives as valuable as my late Apollo’s. He is a betta (from a breeder, not a big box store) that I loved so much, I still cry about him FOUR years after his death.
I know retail associates are underpaid and overworked. But if you stock LIVING, FEELING creatures as products in your stores, your first priority should be their welfare. If you can’t do that, you should not sell animals. Period.
Like, give me a bottle of water conditioner and 30 fucking minutes and I’ll change the water for free myself. Zero excuse for this.
Nelson fans and animal lovers, please let @PetSmart know how you feel about this.
I know we’re clowning on these governments and rightfully so, but imagine being a closeted person from one of these nations and seeing the pride flag hanging next to your countries without fear of persecution, must feel so nice
A Scottish fan chanted, "Free Palestine."
"I was a nurse in Gaza. I volunteered in Gaza. I’ve seen what happens. There is a genocide. Free Palestine."
She's a hero.
The Egyptian and Iranian governments: NO GAY PRIDE AT OUR GAMES! ITS DISRESPECTFUL TO OUR CULTURE!
