LISTEN! LISTEN!
If you’re not aware of what’s happening in the Philippines right now then you need to read about it because it’s important.
I know people hate having to go the lengths of googling or yahooing things themselves, so I’m gonna make it so!! easy!!!
_______
Here are links to read about what is happening:
_______
How can I help?
- Link to a carrd full of organisations to donate to
- Here’s a link to a Tumblr post full of more places to donate to
- Or just scroll through my recent reblog for more donation resources!
_______
How can I help (if I can’t donate)?
Use your platforms to spread donation links and information about what’s happening, please!!
— (and I’m not talking about bare minimum! go HARD with boosting donation links and information! I’m talking 10 posts a day! if you can queue 30+ edits of yabooks then you can queue 10 posts of important resources!)
• watch this playlist of videos!

LISTEN!
The US elections are over and though I know Tumblr likes to focus on US-centric drama and news, you have to pay Southeast Asia attention.
People are dying from this typhoon and their homes are being flooded ON TOP of having to deal with a pandemic.
There are videos out there of people crying for help and whole areas being flooded.
For contextualisation: Keep in mind that Typhoon Ulysses is roughly equivalent to a Category-2 Hurricane.
Boost this. Donate if you can. If not, boost donation links.
** please feel free add to this post! if there are any inaccuracies in this post please tell me and I’ll edit it. thank you!
Important info abt the donation playlist: Use the playlist as a list, but the ad money won’t count if you’re actually playing the videos from the playlist! Search up the titles individually. Make sure you turn your ad blocker off, and you have the video playing at full volume. If you want to play it in the background while doing other stuff, here’s a chrome extension that lets you mute a tab: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/mute-tab/blljobffcekcbopmkgfhpcjmbfnelkfg?hl=en
And don’t loop the videos or play them on repeat. Make sure that you watch 3-5 videos in between each donation vid.
Also, COMMENT ON THE VIDEOS TO BOOST THEM! But don’t use the words “spam,” “algorithm,” or “fun fact.” And on YouTube donation videos, you’ll often see a copy-pasted lists of keywords like “Heartwarming, life-changing, inspiring, educational, etc.” Don’t paste those lists because they’ll get the vids marked as spam!! Instead, I usually say something like “Pteronophobia is the fear of being tickled by feathers. By the way, very heartwarming and inspiring video!” Obviously, liking and sharing the vids helps as well. And so does going into the comments section and liking comments!
