November, 5, 2015.
The world’s largest mining waste burst over a city, leaving over 600 people homeless and 280,000 people without any water.
The tragedy was caused by the break of a barriage which was containing 62MILLION cubic meters of mining waste, and as it broke the mud started to escape dragging down everything on its way. It took half an hour to reach the nearest community, but NO ONE helped. It continued along the way ‘till it reached Rio Doce, one of Brazil’s biggest rivers.
The mud contains metals such as iron, arsenic, barium, lead, copper, mercury, nickel, and the list is even longer. It’s needless to say the river is POISONED. All aquatic life in the Rio Doce river has been extinguished, as the toxic waste reduces the level of oxygen to close to zero. Some fishing communities are attempting to move fish to nearby lakes. Meanwhile, the fine imposed upon Samarco is less than half the value of its donations to political campaigns in 2014.
The cities around the river have absolutely no water, no home, no food. The water gallons are being sold for R$ 30,00 or 7.79 dollars which most of the families can’t pay for it. They are stealing water from hospitals. On this friday 5,000 people queued up for water rations in the city of Governador Valadares. Samarco is told to be the company responsable for the tragedy, and it’s owned by BHP and VALE. On a media pronunciation VALE said that the mud wasn’t toxic, liying to hide the very truth behind it. Scientists analyzed the water, and it has thousand times over the treatment capacity. The water will still be poisoned in 100 years from now.
The media is hidding it, they say it’s nothing to worry about.
Please share this so the world will know. WE need help.
Where are those woke white people at!?
can we just like, all agree to boycott tumblr for 24 hours to show the staff that we’re pissed about the update? because they have to track usage and stuff like that, and I feel like it would send a pretty big message if enough people did it. like nothing fancy, just don’t use tumblr from 12:00am to 11:59pm, one whole day of nothing, not even mobile blogging. maybe set up one queue’d post explaining why you’re boycotting (so anyone that doesn’t get the memo would know what’s up) but other than that maybe even stop queues (just for the day) to help send the message.
I’d propose Wednesday, September 9th as the day. That’s one week after the update, one week to give it a try, one week to show the staff that we’re not just overreacting to change (the way people are apt to do on the internet) but are serious about not liking the way they’ve changed our blogging experience. That also gives us a week to get this post around the site: long enough to spread it around, but not so long that people forget that we’re going to do this. Maybe set a reminder on your phone or computer so that you don’t forget. I’ll be posting in the tag #updateboycott throughout the week for general reminders and to answer any questions/suggestions.
And please, reblog this. The only way this will work is if enough people see this post and participate to make a difference.
so tl;dr: hate the update? join the boycott of tumblr on Wednesday, September 9th from 12:00am to 11:59pm by just not using tumblr that day.
Thanks.
Of fucking course
What sick bastard doesn’t
dad: are you watching that show with those girl singers again? why don’t you grow up and watch something more manly
me:
If you have the Calculator% app or any other hider app(things that hide apps and pictures), GET RID OF IT QUICKLY. This jackass district attorney has put the lives of a lot of teens in danger by revealing these apps to parents. Now parents everywhere are going through their kids’ phones, looking for trouble(which they’ll likely find).
Closeted teens everywhere are likely in a lot of danger right now. If you use a hider app to hide resources or a diary or anything else, it’s very possible your family might find it.
Guys there’s a HUGE compilation of Pokemon Shaming illustrations being circulated on here and it has over 10 THOUSAND notes despite NONE of the images being sourced.
I follow the artist of one of them who doesn’t approve of their art being reposted so it’s safe to assume the OP didn’t ask permission from ANY of the artists. With all of the posts about art theft going around you all should know far better than to reblog blatantly reposted art so please stop reblogging that one post. It has more notes than half the images probably have by themselves so it’s incredibly disrespectful to keep circulating it despite that.
