lila — reading under a tree somewhere, surrounded by cows — what novelty is worth that sweet monotony where everything is known and loved because it is known? 💫
“Reading good books, always studying, regardless of the work she intends to do, should be a part of every girl’s plan for her life. The only way not to let what we’ve gained be taken away from us is to be smart and capable, to learn to design the world better than men have so far done.”
i keep seeing posts from people about how they’re shocked robby pulls all these hot women, and like… guys. he’s a tall, bearded, enormously competent doctor with big steady hands, sad eyes, and a motorcycle. if you don’t get it i fear you may just not be old enough yet.
Saw your recent post. . . I've donated to the UNICEF Ukraine campaign in the past, and the Red Cross, but I was wondering if there are any other charitable funds/initiatives that would benefit from international donations, but might not be readily on the radar of the international community? I've done a little bit of research on different charitable causes, but I want to ensure my money is going to the right places to best help affected communities!
donate to local ngos/fundraisers over big international orgs. there’s a consensus here in ukraine that WCK is the only international humanitarian org that actually does shit, UN/ICRC in particular are known for being out of touch and ineffective (red cross ukraine might be better? haven’t heard much about them). many ukrainian charities accept donations internationally, and if you follow ukrainian artists/creators/blogs on tumblr they will reliably be posting links to fundraisers they recommend every now and then
donating for humanitarian aid helps alleviate the symptoms, but donating for the ukrainian army helps treat the cause. ukraine’s biggest fundraising orgs (come back alive, prytula foundation, sternenko fund) focus on supporting the army for a reason, and giving your money to them is always a good choice
another big one is united24, which is zelensky’s initiative and lets you choose a cause you would like to donate for.
if humanitarian relief speaks to you more, bring kids back (also by zelensky) and save ukraine work to rescue the children trafficked to russia; proliska evacuates people from the combat zone; sylni supports sexual assault survivors; and here are somehelpfulposts i’ve reblogged in the past with more options, including some niche ones.
