I’m very tired. you probably heard that Russia destroyed the Kakhovka Dam to slow Ukraine’s counter offensive. here’s something I didn’t quite realize: since this February, the Russians operated the dam in juuuuust the right way so that as much water would build up as possible when the snow melted and spring showers started. and then they blew the whole thing up.
40,000 people may need to be evacuated. I don’t really have the energy to say anything else right now.
Hospitallers Medical Battalion: actual angels can confirm. they’re combat-zone medical services - you know how humanitarian groups like MFS and Red Cross have to pause operations due to the Russians fucking shooting at humanitarian zones? yeah, these guys don’t pause for bullets, they fucking walk into them and they bring out anyone they can.
Serhiy Prytula Charity Foundation: you can choose from a number of various fundraiser projects here, if you’re feeling particularly picky. for those of you who balk at the idea of supporting anything military just please remember that things like vehicles and drones aren’t just for military use, they’re also for evacuation and finding the wounded and they’re fucking vital.
KSE Foundation: similar to the above, KSE has multiple projects you can choose from to donate to. looking at it right now, one of the projects with the lowest amounts of money raised thus far - despite being started in April - is Seeds for Ukraine, which will help Ukraine recover from the ecological devastation Russia has been wreaking (and with Ukraine, the countries that rely on Ukraine’s grain exports that Russia keeps trying to steal).
Come Back Alive: do these guys even need the introduction? they’re Come Back Alive. I’m kissing all of them.
United24: Zelenskyy’s brain child, and the official fundraising platform of Ukraine. Mark Hamill recommends the fundraisers for drones in particular.
UAnimals: Nova Kakhovka’s zoo got... pretty much completely swept away. all zoo residents except the birds have drowned. UAnimals has tried throughout the occupation to keep the animals safe, and they’ve been reporting on the status of the zoo. I don’t really know what to say except that I hope they’re able to save the pets and strays in the towns along the river.
You can find NGOs specific to evacuation efforts in this post; please signal boost it as well. I’ve listed them but am leaving the links for the op post.

Relief India Trust Review a hope to Vulnerable Class
I am impressed by the Relief India Trust, as they have an innovative approach to reaching out to vulnerable sections. Today, in this article, I am going to write about the Relief India Trust Review to tell you about the commendable work they have done in the field for children and the environment. They always work tirelessly for the poor section to ensure happier and healthier childhoods for them. Always address the needs of children’s health care, nutrition, education, and protection from child labour. Read More

imagine for me
a robot who wants to be a human- no, a breathing, pulsing living being.
it felt like its code doesn't match well with its body, and has always refer to itself as a soul trapped in a metal bar cage.
it wants its wires to be veins, its chest plate as an actual chest, its sensors to explore more of the living's natural senses, its arms travelling and transferring blood instesad oil and motor
so what does it do?
stuff the organs it harvested into its body to feel whole
it crouches on its idol's body, scooping its remains and shoved them into its opening chest plate. lungs, hearts, guts and livers
everything it could get its cold, bloodied, deserving hands on
it felt fleeting, heavenly, the bloody pool beneath it growing as its body shuts it tight, the stolen organs kept safe in it
it felt like it's finally living.
anyways teehees :3 :3

THIS WAS LITERALLY SEN5 BACK IN FEBRUARY BUT YAAAAAYYYYY!!!!!!!
YESYESYES THIS IS SO EVERYTHING!!!!!! Seeing the dripping, red flesh secreting from its own body and, if only for a moment, it feels like it is truly just as organic as the corpse laid its feet, and its perfect <3 UGH BRILLIANT I LOVE IT
There's so many ways to interpret this and have it explored and frankly I will embarrass myself if I elaborate but know that I have been thinking about this ask since the day I got it <3<3<3

speaking of Haiti,
uuuhhh yall know that the situation is really, really bad there, right? like “the government is holed up in a handful of buildings because gangs control the capital and the country is about to be a failed state” bad. it’s “the Haitian government asked for other countries to literally invade it and restore order” bad. uuuhhhh here are some charities you can donate to.
Doctors Without Borders: you know who these people are and I say that with immense affection in my heart.
Hope for Haiti (!!!!!!) okay Charity Navigator gives these guys a full 100% what the fuck. I knew they were good but holy fuck they’ve been one of the top ten since 2010. they focus on supporting education, healthcare especially for women, clean water, and providing Haitians with grants and loans.
Haitian Health Foundation focuses on, uh, health. they have clinics and also make home visits for patients unable to travel, and they provide emergency transport and mobile health clinics as well. they do vaccinations, food, dental care and mental health care. if you want to focus on the healthcare side of things (other than DWB), these guys are great.
Fonkoze another Haitian-focused charity group, this one provides Haitian women with education, health services, and other resources to help them escape poverty. very very neat, also a great score on charity navigator.
Save the Children in Haiti: same organization that is very busy in Ukraine right now, it’s a charity that focuses on children. exactly what it says. they are wonderful though and I do love them.
UNICEF - Haiti: UNICEF doing what UNICEF does.

Cancer is regarded as one of the most notorious illnesses in the world, and it is one of the world’s leading causes of death. Cancer, in just about any form, is a life-threatening disease that many people avoid trying to discuss. On the other hand, cancer awareness can be extremely beneficial to the general public. On World Cancer Day, the Relief Organization will discuss all about the deadly disease. Read More

Had a very funny thought in my head of bill successfully getting a cult started at some point between reincarnations just bc he’s bored. By coincidence dipper gets reincarnated into a kid who grows up in said cult and bein all culty n stuff. When it’s finally time for bill to pick up his human he’s low key annoyed that dippin dorks all culty. Problem is immediately fixed when dipper remembers everything and goes back to normal.
The experience becomes a very funny story at dinner parties where dipper cringes and bill thinks it was a wacky time. I imagine the cult gets broken up by dipper bc i want to give them a happy ending too.
Oh boy, poor, poor Bill. It's one thing for Dipper to pretend to be subservient - that's all fun and games, not real. But a version of Dipper where he's actually, sincerely, bowing and kneeling before Bill? That gets a full on 😬 Sure, he likes weird! This is certainly that!
But it's like. The flipped version of Dipper watching Bill cheerfully working at a soup kitchen, or tenderly nursing a baby bunny back to health or something. Not what he should be doing. Bad. Just so wrong. Man, he's gonna be glad when his feisty little guy gets his brains back
Also contains: One confused Dipper, whose 'god' is actually really... annoying?? And for some weird reason, it seems to make said 'god' happy when he finally gets fed up enough to be bitchy about it.
