MYANMAR RELIEF AFTER EARTHQUAKE
I have seen calls to donations for the Red Cross, Doctors Without Borders, and World Central Kitchen. Here are two other, smaller associations you might not have heard of. They are not linked to the government and work onsite with local partners.
Doh Eain: a social business that is very well connected to grassroots organisations and is doing a special fundraising. They already successfully coordinated relief after typhoon Yagi last year, and have local architects on their team.
Sonne: If you're like me, you might find pictures of helpful white people surrounded by smiling locals a little aggravating. But Sonne Myanmar is a trustworthy org with a lot of experience.
Any help is appreciated.

Today, my family was displaced under heavy bombardment after a three-day siege in a tent. They left behind everything: clothes, food, and medicine. Please look at us with compassion. Do something. Participate. Protest. Donate.
Aboud Al-Qudra was a business owner in Gaza. He had built a life, a home, a future. Then the war came.
- His business—destroyed.
- His home—reduced to rubble.
- His family—displaced, mourning the loss of loved ones.
Now Aboud and his family are struggling to survive in a tiny, overcrowded tent, facing:
- No clean drinking water
- Severe food shortages
- Lack of medicine and medical care
- Scorching heat in summer, no protection from the cold in winter
After surviving a three-day siege in a tent, they were forced to flee under heavy bombardment, leaving behind their clothes, food, and medicine. Now, they have nothing.
- ➡️ Prices have skyrocketed, if even available.
- ➡️ Their tent collapsed due to rain and wind—22 people are now crammed into a 4x6 meter space.
- ➡️ His little brother had a seizure from the terror of an explosion nearby—Aboud saved him just in time.
📢 Donate if you can, reblog if you can’t. Every share helps amplify his voice.
THE PAIN IS UNBEARABLE
They killed the children in the early morning of the Eid
Instead of wearing new clothes for Eid, children have been wrapped in shrouds, making it the last thing they will ever wear in their lives.
If it doesn't matter for you to see us die, do nothing but If you would like to see us alive please donate here and share

Its come to my attention that a lot of people do not know how to deal with a hot car in summer. A lot of people will get back to their car, after hours of it being parked in the full sun, and will open the door to be blasted in the face with furnace-level temperatures, and you'll just clamber in and shut the doors and leave the windows closed and you'll start driving that thing, and you'll wait for the air-conditioning to battle and overcome the heat.
Thats. Insane to me.
The inside of a car can get up to 40°C/104°F hotter than the outside temperature. Why would anyone get inside that????? It's gonna take your air-conditioning at least half an hour to combat that and bring the temperature down to something even remotely reasonable, and in the meantime you're sitting there risking heatstroke.
Now, I understand that it's currently winter in the northern hemisphere, which is where most of this site lives, but a) I'm in the southern hemisphere and today was Lots Of Degrees, and b) y'all should read this now and commit it to memory or queue it to reblog in summer or whatever, because it boggles my mind that some of you get into a car whose interior is literally oven-hot.
So!!!! Some tips!!!!!
- Get a sun visor. One of the big ones that goes inside your windshield. You will not believe how much cooler those things keep your car. Get one, use it. Leave it to bounce around in your back-seat on cooler days, but have it on hand for the stinkers. They range in price but two-dollar stores usually have them for pretty cheap.
- Leave the windows of your car cracked open. It doesn't have to be much. Literally just the tiniest amount will mean that the heat building inside your car has a way to escape, meaning the interior temp will naturally be kept lower. The larger the opening, the better, but depending on the neighbourhood you're parking in, maybe it would be better to have them open just a sliver. Even the tiniest crack will help. Ever tried warming up an oven with the door open? It doesn't work well. This is the same concept. If there is a way for the hot air to escape, the inside of your car will stay a lot cooler than it otherwise would have.
- If you're fancy enough to have an openable sunroof (that's the dream) then leave that open a bit as well.
- Youve just gotten back to your car and opened the door, and its hot as fuck in there. Open another door, ideally on the other side of the car, and let the hot air escape. If you can open all four doors and the boot, then thats even better. A bunch of the hot air will flush out. Not all!!! But a lot. Give it anywhere from a few moments to a few minutes, depending on how much of a hurry you're in.
- Get in, start the car, open all the windows. Yes, even if you hate having the windows open.
- Put the air-conditioning on full blast, and make sure the recycle is turned OFF. This means it pulls fresh air from outside the car (hot, but less hot than inside) and pumps that into the car, further displacing the heat inside the vehicle.
- Start driving, still with the windows down. Once you get up enough speed, the force of the air from outside coming in will blast the rest of the excess heat out of the car.
- The temp inside the car will now be roughly equivalent to the temp outside the car. Still hot!!!! But MAJORLY less so, and majority more handle-able by your air-conditioner.
- Put all your windows up, and switch the air-con over to recycle. This means it takes the air in the car and cools it, then spits it back into the car, meaning that with each cycle, the air gets progressively cooler a lot faster.
If you do this, your car will be a hell of a lot more comfortable a hell of a lot sooner than it would be if you got into a 60°C/140°F cabin and just.... endured that, until your aircon could overcome it.
This post has been brought to you by an Australian who knows not one but TWO people who get into 60°C cars and wait 15 to 30 minutes for their car to drop back down to a temperature that's even REMOTELY tolerable.

What Strength Really Means 💪
✅️ Vetted by @gazavetters {537}✅️
Hey everyone, my name is Abdelmajed. I don’t usually talk much about myself, but today, I want to share a little piece of my story.
I was born and raised in Gaza, a place that has always been my home 🏡. I grew up surrounded by my family, my friends, and the streets that I knew like the back of my hand. Life wasn’t always easy, but we had love, laughter, and dreams. I used to think that no matter what happened, home would always be here. But life has a way of changing things in ways we never expect.
Over the past months, everything I once knew has disappeared. The streets that were once filled with children playing are now silent. The houses that held so many memories are now just rubble. And the people I loved—some of them are gone forever. 💔

Still thinking about the pitch letter that told freelance writers for DS9 season 5 not to send them any OdoPreg.
I don't want to be insane in Mr Wolfe's notes so hi we're getting weird about that here.
Now, as Star Trek is a very science focused science fiction show, I have to assume this would be asexual reproduction.
That being said, they specify "getting pregnant", and, this specifically being for season 5, the season where Odo is a solid, makes potential implications much funnier. Either way, I have so many questions:
Did the Founders give Solid!Odo a womb?
Did they hot potato the O'Brien's baby again?
Does Odo hit a secret Changeling birthday that's their age of maturity and they just pop out some goo at that time?
Was this bc he didn't use protection with Arissa?
If Odo gives himself a womb for the day, what happens when he returns to goop?
Was this bc he didn't use protection when linking?
If you slice him perfectly in half does that grow a second Odo?
