Hi!

As some of you might know, southern Brazil, specifically the state of Rio Grande do Sul, has been struck by heavy rains and a consequential flood. The rains started on monday (29/abr) and only stopped today (5/mai), in Porto Alegre ─ the state capital, and the city i live in ─ and in the other cities nearby.

The lake that borders PoA (named Guaíba) has reached more than 5m up its normal level. This is higher than on the historic 1941 flood. The city's center ─ a big residential and commercial hub, beyond being the host of most of our public services (such as the city hall and the state government) ─ is completely taken by the water. Many other neighbourhoods were also affected.

Smaller cities that also border Guaíba were even more heavily affected, such as Eldorado do Sul, whose territory was almost 100% flooded.

The state is, for a lack of a better word, abandoned by the people that were supposed to aid.

Our governor, Eduardo Leite, is more worried about his plitical campaign ─ making dramatic videos, changing his facebook pfp to one of him with a public defense vest, making streams with no useful information ─ than with the people's lives. This year, he destinated only R$50.000 (~ USD250.000) for the Civil Defense. For the entire year. He is now, delegating the responsibility of recuperating our state to the Federal Government, stating that "the rbuilding of the RS will demand a Marshall Project".

Porto Alegre's mayor, Sebastião Mello, has vanished. He sold our city out to big enterprises ─ Melnick, Zaffari and Panvel, mainly ─, and hasn't destined any public resources to maintaining the Mauá wall (a wall built after the 1941 flood with a system made to protect the city from other floods), which caused many points to fail and the water to invade the city.

This is the danger we all face with a neoliberal system.

Neoliberalism is an individualist ideology. All these people and companies I named did close to nothing to help us. Or even made it worse. The Civil Defense, for example, published a map of all the areas that would be affected, but had to take it back, since it didn't consider the topography.

Its the people for the people.

This situation is being aided by people using their own resources. Donations of various natures and volunteer work. It is very beautiful, in a way. It shows that colaboration and union can do great things. It shows, at least to me, that the world can reach, one day, a self sustaining way of living, contrary to the ultra-individualistic capitalism some preach. Humans can, and are, good.

But it also lays out how much the people that govern us failed us.

Human lives were lost because of their negligency.

This flood isn't normal. It is a product of the huge levels of degradation multi-billionaire companies are causing the world, supported by higher class and their representatives. Eduardo Leite changed almost 500 points of our state's Environmental Code, for the worst, when he was first elected in 2019. His actions, and the actions of all other neoliberal politicians, such as our ex-president Bolsonaro, are what created this situation. They are responsible for everything that is going on here.

This flood isnt the only environmental crisis this state has faced in the last 6 months. This isn't the last one that will happen.

This text is, beyond a personal vent, a warning. We need to keep fighting against a system that is actively trying to kill us. Please, do not support ideals and people ─ especially if said people will rule you ─ that go against the environment, that preach that the capital, the money, the posesions, are more important than lives. Of the people, of the animals, of the environment. Fight for a better world, i know there can be one.

Always be aware of the climate in your areas. Things like this won't happen only here. Please be safe.

Sorry for the long post.

If you're interested in donating, @decaf-lesbian made this post with some links for international and national donations.

-> If you're from Brasil, check this link, that has a copilation of maps of risk areas, shelters, places to donate to, etc, made by a UFRGS student.

⚾🙈🍧🍁🍩 Toxic

🍁🤥🥞🍀 Joker

I already asked THIS question before so I’m going to answer the others. _________________________________

[🍁 Favorite Season]

{☢️𝐓𝐨𝐱𝐢𝐜: Winter! The chilly breeze, snowball fights and gentle snow flakes falling around them, also the fact that they can drink all the hot chocolate and sit by the fireplace as long as they want.}

•—-{❄️☀️}—-•

{🃏𝐉𝐨𝐤𝐞𝐫: Summer! He loves to have fun in the sun! He loves going to beaches and pools despite not being able to swim… But, that’s NOT stopping him from having fun! Barbecues to fireworks, he’s ready to have a blast!}

———————————————————-

[⚾️ Sports]

{☢️𝐓𝐨𝐱𝐢𝐜: He’s flexible and athletic kid, who played MANY sports when he was young. But, his favorite sport is soccer.}

———————————————————

[🥞 Favorite Breakfast]

{🃏𝐉𝐨𝐤𝐞𝐫: Waffles, add some powder sugar and maple syrup and he's good to go!}

———————————————————

[🤥 Liar]

{🃏𝐉𝐨𝐤𝐞𝐫: He’s a atrocious liar… You could tell that he’s lying right off the bat. Luckily for him, Toxic is more than happy to help him with his lying skills!}

———————————————————

[ 🍩 Favorite Sweet Treats]

{☢️𝐓𝐨𝐱𝐢𝐜: Doesn’t have much of a sweet tooth as their boyfriend, but does like cinnamon cupcakes!}

———————————————————

[🍧 Childhood items]

{☢️𝐓𝐨𝐱𝐢𝐜: They have a bracelet from their moms! He made it with them when they were 10 years old. And if he ever lost it, he would rip the airship apart trying to find it!}

———————————————————

[🍀 Believe in Luck?]

{🃏𝐉𝐨𝐤𝐞𝐫: Yep, he definitely believes in good luck, but he’s not superstitious. Like for sample, you might see him petting multiple black cats. And making some good luck charms. So, it’s 50-50 to be honest!}
