so Paradise California is gone

i haven’t seen any noise about this on tumblr yet, but a fire has completely wiped out a small town in california.

they’re calling it the camp fire. over 20,000 residents have been evacuated so far, the last area estimates i heard were over an hour ago at 18,000 acres and its still zero percent contained.

this is the smoke from about 18 miles away from the fire three hours ago. if you know anyone near chico, paradise, oroville or durham california you might want to check they’re okay

UPDATE: 4PM FRI NOV. 9, 2018

the fire has completely walked over paradise, magalia, and much of the rest of butte county. it’s under 10% containment and moving towards chico, which was been mostly evacuated as well. it’s been documented as one of the top 20 deadliest fires seen in california. i know many of the people personally whose lives have been destroyed by this fire. my aunt and uncle’s home, of whom we’re very close to, was demolished last night, same goes for family friends and others who lived in paradise– which is completely gone. there are 5 confirmed deaths, several dozen missing people.

EVACUATION SITES STILL OPEN AS OF 1 HOUR AGO:

  • Butte County Fairgrounds (199 E Hazel St, Gridley, CA 95948)
  • Yuba-Sutter Fairground (442 Franklin Ave, Yuba City, CA 95991)
  • Glenn County Fairgrounds (221 E Yolo St, Orland, CA 95963)
  • Chester Memorial Hall (22 Gay Street, Chester)

HOW TO HELP/DONATE:

  1. “Currently the best way to contribute is to make a monetary donation via the North Valley Community Foundation website.” -abc7news.com
  2. “Supplies: Hope Center in Oroville (1950 Kitrick Ave Ste. A) is taking donations. Hours: Friday and Saturday 8 a.m. - 5 p.m., Sunday 9 a.m. - 5 p.m. Needs: warm clothes, shoes, socks, coats (primarily for elderly residents).” -abc7news.com

the majority of those affected by the fire in paradise were elderly people. and having known paradise and magalia myself for years, it’s not a wealthy part of california. these people will need help, and lots of it.

if you have any questions, you can message me personally or seek information online or from the above references personally.

if you cannot help yourself, please spread the word and reblog. so many wonderful people are going through a terrible thing and need your help.

Honestly The Curse of the Colonel is one of my favorite Japanese urban legends…

Basically the Hanshin Tigers baseball team had a major victory in 1985 and fans went WILD and stood on a bridge chanting the player’s names, and every time they said a name a fan that resembled the player whose name was said would jump into the canal

BUT there was an american player on the team named Randy Bass and the crowd wanted to include someone who looked like him too, but there were no white people around so they snatched a Colonel Sanders statue and tossed it into the water as an effigy

after this the Hanshin Tigers won nothing for 18 years! The rumor began to circulate that throwing the statue into the canal had angered Colonel Sanders and he had cursed them and wouldn’t allow them to win until they retrieved the statue. Obviously many attempts were made to find it, but no one was successful.

In 2009 the uper body, lower body, and right hand of the statue were found when police thought it was a dead body, but the left hand and his glasses are missing and the Hanshin Tigers still have not won anything. It is said they will continue to lose until they find the last pieces. Here’s the colonel though!

Therese Patricia Okoumou. Patriot.

It is a very rare thing for me to disagree so hard with a progressive Black woman, but Therese Patricia Okoumou IS a hero. And she certainly did not let anyone down. Fighting for young children who were being caged and separated from their parents is never ever the wrong thing to do. What she did—resisting Trump and publicly speaking truth to power—required great courage. Okoumou is a hero and an activist. A social justice warrior in the truest sense of the word.

After repeatedly reaching out to the mainstream media and asking them to continue covering her story, she is being ignored by them now. But remember: they were happy to use her when she was the hot story and good for ratings. Now they apparently cannot be bothered to interview her, or call out the injustice of her impending imprisonment. (#WhiteFeminism)

If anyone knows of any lawyer or anyone who might be able to help Therese Patricia Okoumou with her appeals process, please reach out to her on her Twitter account.

She IS a hero.
