For a run-down on the #COVIDEmergency2021 in India right now please see this quote-tweeted 🧵 I’ll keep updating it with more info.
I’m posting mutual aid links in this tweet thread below. My network here is mostly Euro-Am based so anything you donate goes a v v long away 🙏🏽

I don’t know if the world fully comprehends how dire the situation is in India right now. Not only are hospitals running out of oxygen cylinders, internal politics means that mutual help between states has broken down. An unmitigated humanitarian crisis #COVIDEmergency2021

I'm Deputy Editor of this wonderful sustainability mag and we need your support to keep putting out quality journalism on sustainability. Can you help Gus survive the pandemic?

2021 could be our best year, or our last year. The pandemic was really hard on Asparagus financially, and we need support from our community to make it through the year. If you're able, please make a donation of any size to help fund our future! bit.ly/FundGus

#NavrozMubarak to all those celebrating! I love this celebration of new beginnings and miss celebrating in person. But the pandemic has also made me more grateful for nature and Allah's creation.
