I stand with Ukraine

The Polish borders are open and the government has stated that as many refugees as possible will be able to come to Poland.

Below, some links that might be useful. I apologize in advance that the list is very Poland-centered, but these are the sources that I was able to verify as a Polish person.

You are more than welcome to add more verified information and links!

For the Ukrainians coming to Poland:

Ukraina - Urząd do Spraw Cudzoziemców - Portal Gov.pl

⬆️ The website of the Polish government with all the information regarding crossing the Polish border and help for the refugees. As of now, the website is available in Ukrainian, Russian, Polish, and English.

⬆️ Blank forms that will help you cross the border with your pet. There is also legal background information in Polish, Ukrainian, and Russian. The documents have been prepared by a legal professional. In order to cross the border with your pet, the pet needs to be mocrochipped and vaccinated against rabies. These are the only requirements as of now, you don't need a passport for your pet.

A Facebook group for Ukrainians seeking legal aid in Poland

⬆️ There are many legal professionals there who are willing to help free of charge.

A general help group on Facebook

⬆️ You can find information about transport from the border, where to stay etc. there.

[email protected]

⬆️ You can send them an e-mail if you're pregnant or have just given birth, they will provide help and support free of charge (consultations are held in English or in Polish).

I will hopefully be adding more links.

To everyone else:

If you have the means to do so, please consider giving your financial support.

https://www.siepomaga.pl/pah-ukraina

⬆️ A verified fundraising campaign by the Polish Humanitarian Action. The money will be used to buy food, sanitary products and other supplies for those in need.

Feel free to add more verified links and information!

Not sure how many people are going to see this post, but as a citizen of my country i should spread the information about the chaos happening here. Our country - Belarus - was always known as little peaceful place with similar to Russia culture. It's located in the center of Eurasia, between Russia, Ukraine and Poland. Recently there was election in our country, and by the results, our current president should have left his post. But government is faking actual election results, making our president (who already rules for around 40 years) to rule for more 5 years until the day he dies. A lot of young people don't want him as president anymore. There were giant lines of people to just vote against him. The amount of people voting this year is much bigger than any other year according to our history. A lot of actual evidence that people voted for other candidate. And yet, he won with ridiculous result of 80% against 9% of the candidate people were actually voting for.

THIS IS WHY PEOPLE GOT ANGRY AND STARTED TO PROTEST

Long story short, government completely cut off our internet so we don't share information (vpn is helping so far but disconnects a lot). Police attacked peaceful protestors, creating even more anger and hate. They beat up helpless women and arrest kids who joined protests. Thousands of people on streets for third day now are protesting for fair and free election.

2020 is truly becoming harder

I don't know who needs to hear this, but for my fellow Westerners and/or Americans:

Please, be aware of what is happening in Eastern and Central Europe, particularly Belarus. The extremely shortened version of what is happening in Belarus is that they have been under a dictatorship for the past 26 years, and just recently had an election where Lushenko (i.e. the man who has been head of state the past 26 years) "won" by an overwhelming majority, which has led many to believe that the election was undoubtedly rigged. Citizens then came out to peacefully protest and were met with police brutality and violence from the State.

I've been seeing a few things float around about Belarus, but not nearly enough.

Learn as much as you can (historical information +current affairs) and consume information from reputable reporting sources. My personal choice is BBC for current affairs.

Don't center the dialog around yourself. Don't say "this is what it will look like in November with Trump", because not everything should be centered around American issues and it is such a horrible, self-serving thing to do. This is about Belarus, it needs to stay focused on Belarus, and we as outsiders need to not use this as an opportunity to self-insert our own political and social issues. Belaeus deserves the same respect and support from the world that was given to the US during the BLM protests.

Continue talking about what is happening with people in your circle and urge them to stay informed on the issues at hand.

Support in ways that you can. I know there are some fundraisers and reputable organizations that you can donate funds too. If you cannot financially donate then please stay informed and use your networks as a way to distribute accurate information.

If you know someone in Belarus or who is Belarusian and are in contact with them- simply listen. Be a support person for them if needed and don't offer unsolicited advice or viewpoints. If they want advice or your opinion they will ask. This goes back to the first point, don't center yourself into this conversation. As a friend, or just a fellow human being, it may be enough just to listen and be an external person to validate their experience and feelings.

As a side note, many of the guidlines I outlined above can be applied to other issues going on in the world. Right now it seems like the world is falling apart and many people are suffering. As an external observer we cannot pit tragedies against each other in some sort of macabre Olympics of suffering which we engage with from a safe distance.

We must all work to be informed and stay responsibly engaged in the world. Take care and stay safe!

It's sickening to think how the world treats the Eastern-European countries - it's like we're barely human, just some numbers not worth noticing, or a butt of a vodka-related joke. Belarus was trending for a second just to be hidden into the convenient 'politics' tag.

My Belarusian friend is in so much stress right now, because she's worried about her family and friends. About her mom, who comes home from work late. Every minute she reads the news feverishly, because so little pours out of Minsk - people pass on USB-drives with VPN software on them, because the Internet has been shut down by the government and very soon cellular connection might be gone too.

Please read up on what's happening in Belarus!

Please spread the word about the injustice!

You really don't have to be european, slavic or Belarusian to care.

Reblog to save his life

This is Rhys, my 2 year old cat

You can do whatever you want with him, he never bites or scratches anyone and he loves playing fetch and sucking on soft plushy blankets

Another cat has bitten him and gave him this bacteria called Pyo Thorax which causes fluid behind his lungs. It's a deadly condition, but thank god my mom and I noticed on time so he's now in an animal hospital where they're cleaning his lungs and

He's doing really well at the moment

Unfortuately, the bacteria won't completely be gone unless the vets do a surgery where they open up his chest and clean every little corner of the lungs so they know that all the bacteria are gone. Then again, Rhys is a strong lil man and he's doing fine so the surgery will, according to the vets, go well and he'll recover like any other cat.

But

The surgery is expensive and my mom, who has all the money for the surgery but planned on spending that money on buying new furniture for the house, thinks

"It's a waste of money to spend it all on a cat"

This is why mom wants to put him to sleep tomorrow

I'm not asking anyone here for money.

I'm asking if you can REBLOG this post to convince my mother that little Rhysie's life is worth the money and it's sad to give up on him because he is already getting so much better and he is just soo strong

If my mom still decides to put him down, let this be the post that still keeps Rhys alive on Tumblr , which is where I got his name from❤️

He'd be so grateful if you'd introduce him to all your followers🐾

[stop-stalin-and-suck-my-dick]

This post is from today! Plz share good boy Rhys

Update

We are now waiting on a phone call that should tell us if he really needs the surgery or if there is any other option for him.

Yesterday, my mom and I visited him right after he got his treatment. They clean his lungs every few hours and suck out the fluid, which is not the most enjoyable thing for him. Anyway, he should've had not problems with breathing after that. However, when we saw him he started to have a lot of trouble breathing and it was heartbreaking to see.

This is why we decided to put him to sleep if he needs the surgery, because the treatment is really heavy and we don't want him to go through this another week while there's still a big chance that he will never fully recover. (Think of not eating now which eventually causes liver problems etc.)

For whatever happens next, whether he'll get another treatment and survive or he'll be put to sleep, Rhys and I would love to thank everyone for all the love & support (I honestly did not expect this at all holy shit)❤️💛💚💙💜

[rhysandsrevenge]

Update 3

*sorry for the spam*

Rhys is doing really good!

Besides his permanent damage on one lung (he'll never breathe like a normal cat), he's doing really well and they are gonna try to fix it without the surgery. The vets wanted to give Rhys one more chance so they'll treat him one full day without any payment at all which is absolutely amazing. After that Rhys is coming home and we're gonna see how he'll do on his own with antibiotics. If this doesn't work, we're still gonna give him a peaceful end, but if he's strong enough; he'll survive :)

So it's all on him now

And this hood was pretty completed (this was the time when I was seriously obsessed with Japan), but then I got myself fully switched to creating hood decos all the time I could spend on TS2. See these two bridges? One of those is a railway bridge. I’ve just added double railway tracks and poles to ingame stone bridge. Then I decided to create a railway set. And this is why the trains and engines based on Japanese prototypes.

This neighborhood is beyond incredible. Meticulously decorated, with so much care and detail. My TS2 nostalgia is through the roof :(

New Simblr....kinda....sort of...

Hi! 

I’m Sixamsims and I’ve rebooted my Simblr here on Tumblr. I’ve been a part of the Sim Community for about a 1000 years. I’ve taken a couple of years break from posting, but I’m back and slowly getting back into my game again.  Stricly Maxis Match and I only use recolours of in game content or conversions from TS3 to TS4. This applies to hair, clothing and furnishings etc. I am also a WCIF friendly Simblr.

I mainly Sim with my OTP, Sybok and Louise. You may or may not have heard of them. I write fanfic about them and even more awesome, they are in the Star Trek Verse! Most of my Sims are Star Trekkish, but I also do make-overs of the Premades in TS4. 

I have a huge obsessions with Vulcans. I can speak Vulcan, I know pretty much everything about Vulcans (I’m Vulcansexual). I recreate Vulcans from within the Star Trek Verse and I also create new pointy eared loves to fill my neighbourhoods.

I also create Galaxy Pets (and plan to do more). Space themed pets for your everyday Sims or Alien Sims. Have a favorite galaxy? Let me know and I can create a Space pet for you!

So if I seem to be a Simblr you would like to follow HIT THAT BUTTON! I usually follow back if your play style jives with mine. Thanks for reading and keep on Simming!

I also have a ridcoulous amount of Star Trek / Spock GIF’s. I make no apologies.
