Guys, I’m not going to ask for your prayers - I myself am not religious, but I am going to ask you to signal boost this. Marawi City in the Philippines has been invaded by ISIS, they are bombing the city and a school zone, and setting detainees free from prisons. 

They say that this is a jihad, but anyone who even has a small understanding of Islam knows that Islam is not violent. 

This is terrorism.

The world needs to know. 

Update 1: They’re exchanging fire from both sides. Electricity is down. Friends are reporting that ISIS members are spotted in the schools and are giving them a few minutes to evacuate before they take over. Filipino media is silent. 

Update 2: Christian teachers are being held hostage. 

Update 3: Hospital staff being detained, ISIS flag has been raised in the city hospital. The fighting occurred not in the outskirts of Marawi, but on its streets, around the city hall and public market.

I’m sorry, I’m stringing together what information my friends are still giving me. I don’t know how long they can keep this up - a lot of them are saying that their phones are dying. 

Update 4: Armed Forces of the Philippines telling people to go underground, airstrikes coming. Mortars are being prepared too.

UPDATE 5: The Philippine President and his family are in Russia. The Palace remains silent. The military is trying to invalidate ground reports to cover up their fuckups. 

UPDATE 6: Philippine National Police and Armed Forces of the Philippines are not responding or have deployed extremely delayed support, according to the Marawi City Mayor in a phone interview. 

UPDATE 7: CNN Philippines has a livestream covering the entire thing, eyewitness reports are in, Military is still saying “we’re in full control” when that’s obviously not the case. 

UPDATE 8: reports in that terrorists are targeting cell towers now. 

UPDATE 9: GENERALS POINTING FINGERS AT EACH OTHER INSTEAD OF ACTUALLY TRYING TO HELP PEOPLE.

UPDATE 10: ARMED FORCES STILL LYING ABOUT THE SCALE OF THIS ATTACK. THEY SAY 15 MEN, WHEN ALL CORRESPONDENTS ARE SAYING THERE ARE AT LEAST 200.

UPDATE 11: generals trivializing the situation, saying “they don’t feel like it’ll last the night,” when people are literally saying that the fighting still continues. CNN just cut their livestream, will be back in 30 minutes, most are being left in the dark about what’s going on. 

at this point, i’m at a loss for words. most friends have stopped updating 30 minutes ago. sporadic updates remain. 

UPDATE 13.

REPORTS FROM LOCALS:

“They’re beheading the teachers from Dansalan College and displaying their heads in the highway.”

Numerous other tweets suggest the same thing. 

UPDATE 14: 

DECLARATION OF MARTIAL LAW FOR THE ISLAND OF MINDANAO CONFIRMED.

i am terrified. our country’s history with martial law is dark, and i never thought i’d live to see this day. 

oh my gosh … Guys, spread this around. Be informed. 

Oh god guys please someone do something. Please spread this make people known of this !!! Please bring awareness and if you are religious please pray to whatever god and I don’t care if your are atheists or not but you have hearts and please use them please please spread this I don’t know what the hell is up there but whatever you are please save us from this hell

The citizens of Marawi are currently evacuating the city, and checkpoints all around Mindanao are heavily guarded. 

As a Filipino and a Mindanaoan, I ask you all to spread this around and keep us in your prayers.

AHHH SOMETIMES I HATE GUYS SO MUCH so basically, this guy confessed to me that he liked me, but during the time he confessed, i liked someone else so i was confused, and then after i took too long figuring out my feelings ( a month ) until when i figured out my feelings, he no longer likes me anymore and which is sad because i like him now and he doesnt feel anything for me. :( ( also, he kinda looks like namjoon )

awww :( i don’t think a month is that long to figure out feelings tbh!!! i’ve had a similar experience like this and it took me a year to figure out my feelings, and what i did was talk to the guy again until he liked me back again. so, unless he’s taken already, GO SLIDE IN TO HIS DM’S. OR TEXTS. OR ANYTHING. just try to chat him up, maybe you can win him over again. 😉

(p.s. memes saves relationships)

thanks so much for sharing, anon! hope it all goes well!!! hope you have a lovely day 🌸  (AND UPDATE ME ON THIS OKAY)

Studyblr sleepover! I recommend the Darker Shade of Magic book series and Shinola Detroit notebooks :)
