my parents have been watching the latest season of white lotus and i think i might finally have a faceclaim after coming up on three years of having this character

[nokorwat]

haven't been on in a while, not dead, just very busy with work and working on my graduate thesis; still have the muse just gotta find the time

but i wanted to just make a quick post since this is something dear to my heart. as many of you may know, the trump administration has frozen funding for USAID. up until now, USAID has helped fund critical work clearing land-mines and UXOs-- about 30% of demining in cambodia is american-funded. the disruption of this work is, without any exaggeration, lethal.

so, in light of that, i just wanted to plug some quick links to a few NGOs that are doing really important stuff that you can donate to. obviously there are big, well-known ones like that halo trust and APOPO that work in multiple countries that are worth donating to but i want to focus on groups that specifically focus on cambodia.

cambodian self help demining is a cambodian NGO which focuses on low priority minefields that are usually ignored by bigger organizations, and is run by a former child soldier and genocide survivor.

landmine relief fund has been in the news lately, and works a lot with the aforementioned cambodian self help demining organization. they also help fund schools in rural parts of the country.

these are just two but they do great work and even just a couple of dollars saves lives. thank you and អរគុណ 🙏 ជយោ! កម្ពុជា!

if you were wondering for the last sixth months sovannarith has been thinking very intensely about moo deng and getting really really really mad that cambodia didn’t get a cute baby zoo animal first

[nokorwat]

what if i were active this coming week.

[nokorwat]

spent most of today at an anime con (don’t laugh) and after turning my legs into jelly with DDR (DON’T LAUGH) i have come to the conclusion that sovannarith is really good at rhythm games

When I die, I hope that I am made into a water buffalo in my next life. They seem so peaceful. They don't have to think or answer emails. I think it would be nice to not have to answer emails.

i didnt really watch any of it (im sorry) but a cambodian rapper performed at the olympic closing ceremonies and you know sovannarith was screaming, crying, and throwing up even though he has terminal boomer music taste. he doesnt get it but hes screaming and crying

cambodia consistently sits at the bottom of those world average dick size lists so unfortunately this is sovannarith

*trying to explain to an undergrad why chatgpt is not going to be helpful here" it's not good with particularities... like it has the buddha nature. it truly no longer understands the distinctions between the ten thousand things. it's an enviable state of existence but one that is ill-suited for solving package dependency issues
