modern mythical creatures | cupid
Cupid, ancient Roman god of love in all its varieties, the counterpart of the Greek god Eros and the equivalent of Amor in Latin poetry. Cupid often appeared as a winged infant carrying a bow and a quiver of arrows whose wounds inspired love or passion in his every victim.

We had a lot of rain this winter, more than what we’re used to. It brought water back to our waterfalls and flowers back to our hills. Southern California is covered in wildflowers. (taniainnature)

a massive explosion just rocked the capital city of lebanon, beirut. footage of the explosion has been captured, and it is horrific and terrifying. dozens and maybe even hundreds of people have been injured and the reports have confirmed at least 10 people dead. reports are still coming in.
hospitals are overwhelmed. the lebanese red cross has sent out an urgent message in need of blood donations of all blood types. open transfusion centers to help aid in this disaster are currently
if you have loved ones in lebanon or you are aware of someone who has loved ones in lebanon, i strongly urge you to reach out to them as soon as possible. if you don’t have loved ones in lebanon, i hope you at least spread the word to help others and keep beirut in your thoughts today.
this all started just barely two hours ago, and the reports are still coming in with updates. keep an eye on the news, if you can. stay safe.
the country of lebanon and it’s people have been struggling intensely recently due to political unrest, famine, covid-19, and an economic crisis. please read this twitter thread by a lebanese user for more information and how to help, along with this carrd
additionally, a carrd has been made concerning the beirut explosion and it consists of information on emergency relief, access to breaking news about the catastrophe, and, especially, information on blood donations.
multiple lebanese twitter users have urged against monetary donations as they will have a far far smaller impact than intended. what they are asking for is blood donations and raised voices, along with the sharing of these resources on current events in lebanon.
please keep your heart, mind, eyes, and ears open to lebanon, the city of beirut, and its people right now.
click here for live updates on the beirut explosion from the guardian. thank you @goblinlibrary for the link. there are now reports of over 30 people dead and 3000 people injured.
Actually multiple Lebanese twitter users are begging everyone to donate to the Lebanese red cross.
Here’s a tweet that shows you how to do it from their app. It’s preferred that you use this to directly donate to them.
thank you for the update! at the time of writing the initial responses to this post i had not seen anything about where donations would benefit most in being directed towards. though it was unintentional, i apologize for the spread of misinformation and encourage not only donations directed towards the lebanese red cross but to make sure to stay updated about how to best aid in providing emergency relief, just as this response has helped update my post.
