"What are you doing for Myanmar?"

I have four projects raising fund for Myanmar as my job so I spend a lot of my free time on tumblr. I don't have kofi or anything but you can send me some cash on paypal (check out the gmail in the replies) since I donate all of my cash there for Myanmar. I share the paypal with my friend so remember to write a note if you do send me stuff. "for helen" is enough!

What are my projects? Glad you asked! Why am I not promoting them on tumblr? I'm Glad You Asked.

(1) I run a paid telegram channel for tarot, divination etc and 100% of those funds is for myanmar. This is 100% in Burmese so international supporters cannot and won't be able to enjoy the benefits.

(2) I sell books and ebooks online to raise funds and 100% of it go to funds for myanmar. Since I can't ship my books from Myanmar to whereever you live, I can't promote them here.

(3) I do tarot and astrology readings and after I've fed myself and my friends, I donate a sum of it. This one you can help! My tarot questions are $2 a pop but since this is the internet, you'll have to pay upfront on paypal and I don't think people really want that. But you can support me this way! This is the only way I can get US$ to support myself! $2 equals two days worth of minimum wage in Myanmar right now. I only need your question and your name (can be a nickname, can be a chosen name, can be a blog handle whatever) but the waiting time is one or two weeks (I have a chronic illness). So you send me questions with your name and wait for at most two weeks. It's that simple.

(4) I am a language instructor and a part of my students' tuition fees go to funds for myanmar. Due to electrical outages and timezone shenenigans, even though I speak a ton of languages I can't be a guide for you. Even now, I sometimes don't have enough electricity to open my laptop and my zoom.

Aside from that, I'm a professional English-Burmese and Burmese-English translator so on the off chance you need a Burmese translation, you can hit me up!

That's all for Myanmar! If you wanna find some legit fundraisers, I can and will hook you up with Burmese fundraisers in your country so feel free to reach out!

And for the last time: don't judge me based on my tumblr account and assume I am doing well in Myanmar. If you think doing all of those above with a chronic illness during power outages and 40 degree celsius heat is a walk in the garden, I have no words for you. Since I do all of those, of course, I'll be doing my own thing in my free time. Stop judging me for "not posting the right things" or "posting things at the wrong time" like I can literally be jailed or dead by tomorrow so I am not going to adhere to your little rules. And also, if you probe me for personal information way too much, I'll block you for me and my family's safety. Thanks!

cool. another black child died in a hate crime

South Carolina jury finds store owner not guilty of murder in killing of Black teen | CNN

A South Carolina jury on Monday found a store owner not guilty of murder in the 2023 shooting of a Black 14-year-old.

apparently the murder happened in 2023 after doing some research but the murderer has been found not guilty.

black children get murdered and become victims of hate crimes every fucking day. this is ridiculous

[rabbitkinglune777]

im posting this here despite the website being extremely white centered, I want people to understand how in this country it's basically ok to murder and victimize black people, especially women and children in the name of "self defense" and white America will reward you for your antiblackness.

John Rogers is fucking crazy for this one

[laser-tripwires]

one thing people need to understand about leverage is that it quite literally invented competence porn.

[dreaminghour]

#leverage #john rogers #my posts #...hilariously this isn't a joke and john rogers actually is the person who coined the term #(back in 2009)

Taking note for the lore

[aardvaark]

john rogers on the louvre heist. for context on the "low tech" thing, they used this to access the napoleonic jewels:

…and then really just normal power tools for the glass. and they didn’t try to stop the alarms going off etc. low tech but evidently effective.

And to add:

[dont-read-this-im-dead]

Me: I just got FABULOUS news. Granted, the real news happened 10 days ago, and im just late to party, but still.

Friend: what news?

Me: Charlie kirk's mentor died 10 days ago in a pickleball accident. This is the guy that the leverage team based their "Gimmie a K Job" episode on. The one where they turn cheer into a sport. This guy made his money by risking the lives of millions of cheerleaders, and you know what our GOVERNMENT said about that? "If we turn cheer into a sport and force high schools to update their safety equipment, it'll have serious ramifications on his business, so we're not gonna do that."

Friend: ...a PICKLEBALL accident???

Me: man, I bet he's really wishing pickleball updated their safety standards or something right about now.

Friend: that is a SICK BURN, so kudos for that.

In case anyone else was wondering, since I hadn't looked into the inspiration for that episode nor had I heard anything about this:

Charlie Kirk's Mentor Jeff Webb Dead After Pickleball Accident

The cheerleading tycoon and media mogul previously described Kirk as a "future president."

Here's a link without a paywall for a NYT article about Jeff Webb and his disastrous impact on competitive cheerleading from 2024:

One of the many, many, things I love about Leverage is how often they can just make shit up because the mark is some CEO/business bro who never bothered to actually learn the field they’re fucking up. It doesn’t matter if they just string together vocab words and Wikipedia subheadings, the only person who knows less about this than them is standing right in front of them and if they were capable of listening to experts, the team wouldn’t be there!

Leverage: Redemption 3x3- "The Scared Stiff Job"

[thegroundhogdidit]

it kills me how the ot3 are absolutely 100% capable of running leverage just the three of them and the only reason that they aren't in redemption is because sophie was depressed and running cons is a pick-me-up for her, harry was in desperate need of getting kidnapped into a found family, and breanna needed something useful to do with her hacking lest she follow in her brother's footsteps and make the most wanted list before turning 25

[dykeofthedirt]

Found family? No I stole them fair and square

[transand]

we need less “trans women/men should be allowed in women’s/men’s spaces” and more “gender segregated spaces are inherently sexist and transphobic, and we should replace them with gender neutral spaces”

[smartsmears]

Shoutout to the big 6 Leverage plots, the ultimate ass-pull ridiculous episode premises that stretch the universe and would have failed if a lesser show tried them:

Convincing a guy he's being abducted by aliens for real.

Convincing a guy he stole and crashed the world's largest plane (the punch to knock him out perfectly is genuinely comical).

Convincing a guy he's dreaming so he can share company secrets (and heal from his trauma apparently).

Convincing some guys they're being haunted by ghosts (with a real 3D hologram using just a projector and smoke).

Convincing a guy he was cryogenically frozen for decades.

Convincing a polycule they're being picked off by horror movie monsters.

Make no mistake though all of these are great.
