If you want to support Ukrainians, DO NOT donate to Red Cross. Can't speak about their work in other countries, but they're useless in Ukraine. The only trustworthy international organisation I can think of is World Central Kitchen.

Donate to World Central Kitchen

And it's even better to donate directly to Ukrainian organisations. Here are a few good legit places:

hospitallers.life - "Hospitallers", Ukrainian paramedics on the frontlines

savelife.in.ua - "Come Back Alive", assistance to the army

prytulafoundation.org - "Prytula Foundation", assistance to the army, humanitarian causes

starenki.com.ua - "Starenki", helping elderly people

everybodycan.com.ua - "Everybody Can", helping disabled children, elders and hospitals

uanimals.org - "UAnimals", saving animals

Adding this one post I made so I can keep it all pinned to the top of my blog.

If you don't know before then you know now that Russia is sending drone after drone after drone to rain down on Ukraine, destroying homes, people's lives, and wrecking livelihoods all around. They're hitting roads, raining down on civilians, and targeting vital infrastructure, like hospitals and shelters.

Russian drones recently attacked PLENTY of power stations, too. Enough that they've knocked out power in so many parts of Ukraine that many Ukrainians spent the holidays without power, and are STILL dealing with minimal electrical access, which is an important part of Russia's warfare on Ukraine (disabling Ukraine's ability to use the technology needed to defend themselves against Russia's attacks).

A fundraiser is being raised for the production of interceptor drones that can help block Russian drones by intercepting them before the Russian drones can make their target. It is currently at 28%, and could use our help getting the word out.

Shahedoriz | Sternenko Community Foundation

Fundraising for interceptor drones that destroy enemy Shahed and Gerbera UA and save the lives of Ukrainians. Let's protect our sky together

edit::: IT IS NOW AT 30%!!! Keep donating!!!!

Kenya unbans groundbreaking lesbian film Rafiki in major victory for queer visibility

"This ruling encourages diverse, bold and authentic filmmaking. Rafiki walked so many stories could run.”

Kenya’s Court of Appeal has overturned its decision to ban Rafiki, the groundbreaking 2018 drama that depicts a lesbian romance between two Kenyan women.

The Kenya Film Classification Board (KFCB) banned the film in April 2018 due to its “homosexual theme and clear intent to promote lesbianism in Kenya contrary to the law”. The decision came after director Wanuri Kahiu declined to give in to demands to change the ending, which the board deemed too positive.

i do actually get tired sometimes of having the same basic decency discussions around native culture. stop using the term spirit animal. don't use the skin word for shapeshifters. i saw a plushie kickstarter with the W word for a small skull deer plushie and it had already met it's goal. people just blithely repeating terms with no connection to their culture. actively profiting off of it.

[subversivecynic]

Ok, so I'm down but a sentence here gave me confused and I'm hoping you have spoons to help me clarify my brain.

"don't use the skin word for shapeshifters"

I know that the We---- word is a closed cultural word, and I'm careful to not say it because I don't want to be an asshole

Is 'skin wa-----' offensive as well?

[theunfairfolk]

yes! though "offensive" is a bit reductive; it's not a swear or a slur, it's just a concept that the navajo would prefer non-navajo not to talk about, both because of their belief about how using it's name invokes/summons the being in some way and because of the ongoing appropriation and erasure of native culture.

[theunfairfolk]

so apparently netflix is coming out with another season of the tv series "Skin--- Ranch".

reminder that the original name of the ranch was Sherman Ranch and you can refer to it as such. secondary reminder this is all being driven by the white mormon ranch owner as a PR piece for his shitass UFO ranch.

Another massive attack on Ukraine…..

[majorarc]

Fuck Russia.

[justacynicalromantic]

Residents of Kyiv are flooding the metro stations to spend the night there following Ukraine's intelligence services warning that ruZZians have prepared for the next mass air attack on Ukraine. Russian reconnaissance drones have been flying over Kyiv for the whole evening. Putin also did a sudden late evening meeting an hour ago where he talked to some of his officials saying how Kyiv Junta must be destroyed.

TL: There are so many people in Dorogozhychy that the staff asks people to take the train to Pecherska, Klovska, Zoloti Vorota.

Turns out a metro station has the capacity to take in up to 2000 people.
