Fundraiser masterpost

This is a masterpost for the evacuation fundraisers I've vetted so far, a few other fundraisers I find trustworthy but have not been able to vet (inability to communicate with the organizer), and a few semi-completed fundraisers or fundraisers for a different purpose (like house rebuilding, or aid distribution). The numbers next to the names have no significance beyond ease of navigation for me for when I check their progress in the future. You should look at the disclaimers instead and focus on those. Occasionally I will update these with new info, including new fundraisers, and the amount of cash that's been raised. Check in regularly on the original post when you see it being reblogged. In all likelihood once its reached you it's already outdated. Also please don't overlook the Sustainable Aid options near the bottom! The brain drain is already creating problems but having another way of keeping or creating new knowledge and key members of a functioning society is important.

you are personally and directly hit by a bus¹ and isekai-ed, via resurrection, into the body of the main character your most recent WIP

reblog and tell me: on a scale of 1–10, how screwed are you right now?

¹ this is, transparently, a plot device, so if you are about to tell me "joke's on you, I never leave my fifteenth floor apartment!" then you may rest assured it will have tremendous comedic value when the bus is launched into the sky and crashes through your apartment wall to flatten you anyway

The idea that you can "protect" someone by giving them *less* knowledge is just so trivially fucking stupid on the face of it.

Of course, you can certainly protect yourself by giving other people less information, which is 100% the actual point.

I need to see BDSM haters go on rants about the evils of capsaicin

It’s ridiculous to believe that anyone truly enjoys eating spicy food, capsaicin literally evolved as a deterrent to keep mammals from eating it… oh you “like” eating spicy food?? You “like” crying and your nose running at the table while you’re trying to just enjoy dinner? Just admit you have brain rot from watching too many episodes of Hot Ones and go…

I would never let someone eat spicy food in front of me… like that’s literally a chemical irritant that burns your tissue, anyone who would willingly let their partner—let alone ASSIST THEIR PARTNER!!!—in this act of obvious self-harm is an abuser. If I was on a date with someone and they ordered Sichuan hot pot I would simply get up and leave.
