everyone please read this and share if you can.

Brazil is going through one of the worst climatic crisis ever seen.

i live in the southernmost state, Rio Grande do Sul. we have been suffering from extreme, nonstop rainstorms for a week now. the rivers are flooding, reaching 4-6 meters above their natural level. people are being rescued by helicopters, neighborhoods are being evacuated. entire cities are slowly but surely becoming submerged in water. 60 people missing and counting. 32 deaths and counting.

and this is not new. last november also had a flood like this one. 50 dead, many material losses. it happened again this january, with thousands being left without power or water for days.

three catastrophical disasters within less than a year. three disasters only a few months apart.

this is not natural.

unsustainable agricultural practices and politics led to this. a complete disregard for nature led to this. greed led to this. always greed.

when it comes to the climate crisis, i cannot stress this enough: we need to act now if we still want to live. disasters like this are going to happen more often and they're going to be much, much worse. this flood is being considered the worst climatic catastrophe in the history of my state. i don't know how long it will take for another bigger one to happen and take its place. i just know it will be sooner than it should.

links to donate (if you can't donate, sharing already helps a lot):

will update more links later. in the meantime, pray for us.

Dungeon Meshi's end spoilers

I sometimes see posts entertaining the idea of the people who loved Laios each having a piece of him after his death, that way they wouldn't ever worry about monsters again Senshi would pass tho

I get it, but even though it's a way of honoring his death and his place in their lives, isn't that uncomfortably close to consuming and using something? In some ways that's awfully similar to cannibalism-

-post fucking cancelled the little finger's bones go to the Tims (Chils, actually, that's his kids' actual surname), Marcille gets a clavicle and if Kabru's still around he can get a rib

The shapeshifters are fascinating from a character standpoint.

Perception of Laios:

  • Everyone has an exaggerated and flattened view of Laios, emphasizing his worst qualities.
  • They're at least somewhat aware of this fact, and their versions of Laios are completely incompatible.

Laios's perception of others:

  • He misses the details but has a better understanding of the other party members than they do of him.
  • His version of Marcille is the most accurate.
  • It's highly affected by recent events and idealized (the real Marcille is more careless than fake)
  • He's the only one capable of self-crit on the level to recognize his own flawed perspective

Perception of Marcille:

  • Nobody understands how her hair works.
  • Everyone knows it's important

Marcille's perception of others:

  • No understanding of other people's methods and tools due to hyperfocus on magic
  • Everyone is slightly exaggerated (Laios, more so, due to contrast with Falin)

Perception of Chilchuck:

  • Laios is the only one who really understands that Chilchuck is an adult

Chilchuck's perception of others:

  • Thinks everyone is a reckless idiot

Perceptions of Senshi

  • Everyone has a pretty good grasp on him as a character, even if some aspects are exaggerated or flattened out

Senshi's perception of others:

  • A lot more racist than he lets on

btw! I was made aware that many people don't know that we're boycotting Eurovision this year, so.

we are boycotting Eurovision, as per BDS guidelines.

don't watch the stream, don't engage with the videos, don't post it about it on social media using hashtags that are going to trend.

I'm absolutely obsessed with Laios' logic that the other shapeshifters made mistakes the real party members were too knowledgeable/careful/wise to make

but for Marcille he's like "only the real Marcille would do something that fucking stupid"

As complicated as Kabru’s relationship with Milsiril is, this comic is so cute to me because it does show that she did truly care for him on some level and is willing to entertain him on his interest in the party. Also, it’s kind of funny to see Kabru be so excited to sit in the middle and hear all of the family gossip and drama…like wow he really has just always been Like That.

The way ryoko kui draws such expressive faces even with very little space kills me. Look at milsiril being the picture of misery while kabru is like :o woah... so much gossip... so many names and peoples...

its so cute I want to pinch his cheeks and pat milsiril on the back for trying her best

Another aspect of the Gaza Genocide that I want to talk about is the complicity of Internet banking and crowdfunding websites like GoFundMe.

I have seen multiple Gazans raise enough money to leave for Egypt, but the banks and the crowdfunding websites freeze their money or cancel their funds for "suspicious activity" or whatever. Every day that passes in Gaza supplies get more scarce, conditions get more deadly, and the price to cross into Egypt gets more expensive. I've seen people, like ghost-90 here on Tumblr, raise the full amount to get their entire family out of Gaza, but their money gets frozen for so long that the original goal is only a fraction of the price now needed to cross the boarder.

These financial institutions should not be allowed to get away with contributing to the death toll in Gaza. They are intentionally keeping people trapped in a kill zone by withholding money that is rightfully theirs.

I'm so pissed and angry that every avenue for relief for Palestinians is being cut of left and right. It is vile that Gazans are being extorted for 10s of thousands of dollars by the Egyptian gov just to save their family's lives, but even when they play by this corrupt game, the world still finds a way to make them suffer.

My heart is with every Palestinian for the rest of time, from river to sea you will all be free. 🇵🇸❤️

Some more information from killy, the organizer of ghost-90's crowdfund, about how fucked the process is for Gazans to actually get paid out by GoFundMe.

And this is just one story from one person who had a little visibility at the time. How many funds have been frozen that no one knows about cuz they don't have any visibility? How many do we not know about cuz the recipient died while waiting for their funds to be released?

These financial institutions have blood on their hands just as much as the bastards dropping the bombs.

And for the people in the notes saying that the banks are just fallowing the law, laws that allow free transfer of money to Western countries but heavily criticizes and restricts money sent to the Middle East (or really any country that isnt part of the West) is racist and imperialist. Fallowing racist laws is still racist. But I think y'all might be understating how much power the banks have in this situation, they are choosing to fallow these "laws" of their own volition.

Don't try to cover for multi-billion dollar organizations that are directly profiting off genocide and people's desire to save their families from brutal death.
