#RS floods

[ogamipukobye]

You have no idea the pain it is. I´ve lived 10 years in Rio Grande do Sul. My wife was born there. This beautiful pink building, a museum Casa de Cultura Mario Quintana, is now flooded, to the second floor. #Rio Grande Do Sul

My fandom connection really, really is yet again my source of sanity. I'm in the middle of the worst natural ecological disaster in the history of the country and everywhere I look the feeling of helplessness is indescribable. 75% of cities of the state are completely underwater due to massive rain and there's no forecast predicting to stop raining. Because of terrible political decisions (that honestly, could see all of them coming as well as many people, but actually living the bad decisions happen is much worse and maddening) we're basically on our own, the civil population is doing everything: rescuing, collecting donations, gathering information, organising shelter.

The most panic inducing part is that May isn't even a rainy season. It rains, alright, but it's supposed to be the easiest of the rainy seasons. September and February are much, much worse.

It's not even a matter of being prepared for the next one because there isn't a way to contain this amount of water. When I say cities are completely underwater I don't mean people are able to walk on it---I mean the light polls of public illumination are underwater. That's above the roof height of a normal one-floor house

We can't protect ourselves for the next one and the next one will happen. This is not something we can control because that's the consequences of decades of abusing natural resources and overheating the planet. It's 120% a consequence of global warming.

Did you know that one European baby already consumes more natural resources than an adult of an in development country? And then of course, because the global north has (all) the resources, they feel much lighter consequences. Meanwhile, we get the heavy rains.

But sure, continue to build your not-walkable cities so you can take your car to go cross the street. Continue to over produce food. Continue to explore global south countries for their resources, to buy foreign lands to burn the native ecosystem for monoculture, to take airplanes to travel 50km, to buy from big international franchises while ignoring local economy, to overconsume and posses more than you can store, to wrap every organic food in 3kg of plastic or big boxes, to produce as much trash as you could, to make a pollutant factory just to overprocess your food, to not consume your own natural resources, to demand out-of-season foods, to put poison in your plantations, to allow your governments to continue to not do anything about it, and to feed your billionaires. Because they aren't ours.

I'm fine, I'm safe. I have food, energy, water and even internet. For now, I live a relatively safe place.

It's just distressing to know there's absolutely nothing, zero things about this whole catastrophe that is in our reach of prevention because it's bigger, much much bigger than all of us together.

And that we won't even be news until somewhere in Europe or in the US get their own catastrophe.

Hey there, I feel like this is a necessary post because we have some Brazilian girlies here.

The southern state of Brazil, my state, is literally underwater right now, thousands of people lost their homes, some died and some are missing due to heavy flooding. If you're in one of the affected areas, please be careful, pay attention to the news as some emergency numbers aren't working anymore, they're sharing new ones. Seek safe shelter, either with family members or the public ones. There's also a risk of dam failure, the Civil Defense is constantly updating on those, be aware to know when you have to evacuate the area. If you can help with donations or even sharing the news to get to more people, you're more than welcome. I'll leave some links showing how to help. Please be safe, it's a disaster out there! And no matter what your personal belief is, please pray for those people.

Civil Defense - To get updates on the situation

SC Internacional - To donate

Grêmio - To donate

Public shelter in Porto Alegre

Civil Defense - To donate

Hey guys.. I decided to come here and talk about a serious topic today.

The southern of Brazil (my state) has been going through some really tough times.. last week in 48 hours rained the equivalent of three months of rain.. 330 cities of our 493 were affected… entire cities were destroyed and are still underwater.. is hard to put everything into words but we basically have to build our state from zero.. so I’m leaving this link were you can find a place to donate if you can or just share this post to spread the word! Even if you can only donate an small amount remember that U$1 is equivalent to R$5

HUNDREDS OF BRAZILIAN CITIES ARE UNDER WATER

Hello, my non brazilian followers! I don't know if you already know the situation in Brazil right now, but heavy rains caused widespread flooding in the southern Brazilian state of Rio Grande do Sul. Now, hundreds of towns under water. People lost their houses, animals, everything, a lot of people died and a lot are still not found.

A video explaining the situation (in Portuguese with subtitles):

A lot of people here are helping how they can. Donations here are almost all done by Pix (a Brazilian form of payment that is fast and direct). I know pix does not exist in other countries, so I was searching for ways to help if you're not in Brazil so I could share here, since the majority of my followers are not Brazilians.

‼️‼️STOP SCROLLING AND READ THIS PLEASE‼️‼️

In brazil, there's been having a lot of floods in the southern region of the country, more specifically in the state of Rio Grande do Sul

Every day people are dying , cities are submerged, a single city was erased from the map for being totally underwater.

"Sadly the city of Eldorado RS, doesn't exist anymore - The city was totally covered by water"

Everyday, people have to witness everything they've built get lost admist the water, people have to live with floating bodies of adults, children, toddlers, newborns, animals, dogs, cats, elders, every possible life in these cities are being taken away by the floods.

People spend day and night on rooftops, waiting for boats to save them, but not everyone comes out alive.

Hear this audio:

The man says: "Hey Gabriela, deal with what I'll tell you now, there was three children at the boat with me, one of them asked me to pick up a doll that was floating, and I went to grab the doll. It wasn't a doll, it was a baby, a dead baby."

It's the reality of what's happening in Brazil right now when you're reading this.

Sadly, I can't share more than one video here on Tumblr, but theres an audio of a woman thanking her parents for everything, saying she loved them and asking them to take care of her dog Maicon, in the audio, she said she didn't feel her legs, that she felt like she was hallucinating, that the water was almost at her chin, that she was about to die, that her other dog died. After the woman spoke, the sound of the roof breaking and falling was heard in the background, sounds of water splashing, and after the audio was sent, she died, submerged in the ruins of her own underwater house.

We can't do much, but if whoever is seeing this post could donate for help, it would be a step closer to salvation of more and more people.

Here's the link if you want to donate for Rio Grande do Sul: Vakinhahttps://www.vakinha.com.br › a-ma...A Maior Campanha Solidária do RS

Water/sea/storm/river deities say: fuck climate change and lets help the people in Rio Grande do Sul

[blackvahana]

i am really never going to understand why people post "shifting antis dni" in the astral projection tag. "here practice that constantly gets appropriated by us and used as a weird justification for a new set of beliefs that aren't really based in the same reality you work with, and that also gets completely misunderstood by our community because we don't care to understand what you do and just pretend we know it's what we do like christians saying other religions worship the christian god, have a post! Also dni if you don't like our practice that has nothing to do with the one whose tag we just shoved this into"

if you're not astral projecting don't put shit in the ap tag. if you don't even know the difference between AP and RS I dont think your opinion holds enough weight to counter the pushback against flooding a separate practice's tag with "if you dont like the practice I'm talking about in your tags dni"

Hello everyone,

Brazil is underwater, and we come here asking you for your help.

As some of you may know, the state of Rio Grande do Sul (RS) has been getting torrential rains since last Monday (29/04/24).

In four days, it has rained 436,2 millimeters (17,2 inches), which’s triple the normal amount in a month, which is 140 millimeters (5,5 inches) 

More than two great rivers in our region had their volume duplicated, or sometimes, triplicated in size.

This means all the cities that are close to these rivers ended up completely underwater

There were more than 110 towns flooded and the estimate is that more than half a million people have been affected by this climate disaster. There are also thousands of people who are arriving in my city (the state capital, Porto Alegre) as climate refugees, coming from communities displaced by the floods.

Through this unprecedented tragedy we have been really happy to see entire communities mobilizing to help others. Still, there are people who have lost everything, especially those in marginalized communities living in precarious, unsafe and unsanitary housing.

That’s where you come in. We need money. Money to buy food, clothes, medicine, basic hygiene products, mattresses so that refugees have a place to sleep, basically everything.

Right now, the biggest demand is drinkable water: my city is almost completely out of water, because the water treatment stations have been flooded. 

We understand that you may be able to give very little, but also what is little to you means A Lot more to us. Just a dollar is enough to buy 5 liters of fresh water. 

Here are the links for international donations: 

(these donations are managed by people I know and trust. if you can, donate to them and not the government, but I’ll include that below as well. we don't trust the government to do anything right now, basically) 

This is another option:

Government donations:

And here is some international news coverage of what’s happening:

PLEASE share and donate anything you can. Everything is greatly appreciated.

let him cook!

despite having a whole bakery, perhaps wriothesley was never fated to be an excellent baker. warnings: established rs, gn! reader, usage of pet names, wrio being an idiot (affectionate) wc: 730  a/n: hehehe specially dedicated to @poessiblyfedya !! happy birthday to my favourite big sibling in the entire world <3 reblogs w/ tags & comments highly appreciated <3

“not again…” a loud sigh echoes as the kitchen fills with the acrid scent of burnt sugar and overcooked batter. 

wriothesley stares at the cake pan in his oven-mitt hand, at the tragic sight sitting before him. what was meant to be the cake’s golden crust has become utterly scorched, with the cracks running across almost akin to those jagged lines that stretched across the walls of the central laboratory ruins. he cannot help but wrinkle his nose at the bitter note that lingers in the air, and at the burnt patches scattered all over the top that continue to bubble, as though mocking him for yet another failure. 

wriothesley sighs in defeat. 

“sigewinne!”

the head nurse pokes her head around the doorway. “yes, your grace?”

“a little help… please?” 

sigewinne fights to hold back her giggles at the sight of the seemingly infallible duke of the fortress of meropide looking like a kicked puppy in the face of his failed bakes. 

“alright, how long do we have?”

they glance at the clock, before looking back at each other in panic. five o’clock. only one hour before you said you’d be back. “let’s… get to work?”

“yeah, let’s.”

they work almost in silence, sigewinne doing most of the work while wriothesley mixes the batter vigorously. with her added help, he achieves his best attempt yet — though the cake still carries a slightly charred scent, and its base looks a little too brown, clearly, it isn’t burnt and looks (hopefully) quite edible. well, it’s not as if he’ll have time to bake another one if he wants to get the surprise done in time, so he grabs the piping bag and gets to work. 

when he finally squeezes out the last of the icing onto the cake, the sense of relief washing over him is comparable to what one would feel when declared innocent by the oratrice. he steps back to admire his work, and exchanges a high-five with sigewinne just as you walk in with your nose scrunched up.

“why do i smell something burning?”

“never mind that,” wriothesley replies hastily, linking his arm with yours as he steers you toward the kitchen counter. “i made you a lil’ something, come see.”

he finally lets go, and your jaw drops when you see the cake, with the words “happy birthday, [name]!” messily written on the top, hearts scrawled in icing of your favourite colour. a simple cake compared to those you’d find in bakeries all around fontaine, but still beautiful to you nonetheless. 

“you… remembered?” your eyes shift between the cake and the very proud wriothesley standing before you.

“of course i did, darling, why would i ever forget?” he smiles, a mischievous twinkle in his eyes, “did you not find it odd that clorinde took a sudden day off from work?”

and realisation floods in as you finally figure out why your friend had been acting odd the entire day— avoiding any topic related to wriothesley, almost begging you to stay for “just an hour longer” when you mentioned it was about time you headed back home.

“it was you!” you accuse, almost affronted, “no wonder she wanted to meet up so early today!”

“guilty as charged,” he laughs, pressing a quick kiss to your forehead as an apology. “will my love accept their cake as my apology?”

“only if it’s good.” you huff, helping yourself to a slice. you almost spit it right back out the second it touches your tongue, and while fighting to keep a straight face, you watch in silent horror as wriothesley feeds himself a big spoonful — only for him to start choking as he looks for a glass of water. 

“what did you put in it?” you ask when he finally recovers.

“nothing the recipe didn’t state, i don’t know why it came out so… salty…”

realisation slowly dawns on his face, and he turns to rummage through the cabinet. 

for the nth time that day, wriothesley sighs. “i think i– or rather, i think sigewinne may have mistaken the salt for sugar, and– well, you know how that ended.” 

you laugh, reaching out to pat his back. “that’s alright, it happens to the best of us. now you know to check your ingredients before putting them in, right?”

the kicked puppy expression returns on his face. 

“i should’ve asked navia for help.”

Omggg how would omega r x omega Leah work?? Regarding to mating and claiming (that would be so cute staphhh ) I can only imagine the sass from Leah and the fact her purs sound deeper like an alphas would probably make omega r feel more safe

I can just imagine omega Leah constantly whisking away HER you heard .. H E R omega so the alphas are shit out of luck

The nest would probably be the cutest blend of masculine and feminine with two poutty omegas with swollen lips & covered necks

Omega!Leah x Omega!Reader General HCs

Meeting -

Obviously we know how they met, i did that small drabble but

Rs first day

She has scent patches on

Everyone thinks Leahs gonna be stand off ish and mean because she’s used to being the only omega at arsenal

They think she’ll be possesive of the alphas

But the second R comes in shes huffing over not being able to smell her

Grumpily tugging R to the nest and ripping the patches off to sniff at her and get her scent

Immediately deciding R is her mate now

Soft nest sex and cuddles after

Getting together -

They got together after the nest sex and cuddles

R sleeping in Leahs chest as leah held her so so so soooo close

Nibbling at your neck till her teeth break skin

It’s harder since shes an omega

But her teeth are sharper than a regular omega so she manages

Biting deep and flooding R with her venom and marking her as Leahs

This makes R very vulnerable and Leahs on high alert growling at anyone who passes by the door as R purrs deep asleep

When R wakes up Leah is ready for round 2

More messy sex and needy kisses

Then R has to really try to break Leahs skin to bite her mate mark

Once she manages Leah lets out her purr

She gets so shy and tries to stop it because its deeper and more rumbly than it should be

But R just kisses across her face and neck till Leah cant help purr and she compliments her

Telling Leah how safe her purr makes her feel and then purring RIGHT back

The two inseparable from then on.

Heats together -

Heats are hard being a couple of 2 omegas

There’s only so long they can go with just fingering, oral and tribbing

Their Omegas making them crave a knot

Its just their biology

If either wants one of the alphas then they just call

Sometimes they all come over if requested

Often the two just use toys.

Leah gets a knot toy

Its one of them straps that go in the wearer too

Both ends have the ability to knot with a click of the remote

They both vibrate too

Just the two if you taking turns using that and cum everywhere

Just needy messy sex and biting

Your heats lasts 2 weeks if theres no alphas so your all needy and sore by the end if it

Wrapped up in each other’s arms.

Nesting and mate stuff -

The two of you share a nest

Both at home and at the training grounds

Both of you just huddled together nuzzling and purring

Leah often nests more than you

She just sits in the pile of blankets till u find her pouting at u

Or if u take too long she’ll waddle out with a blanket around her from clear on her face and growling and shoving everyone away till she finds you

Then your being tugged away by her as she grumble “Mine” or “nest time now”

She often tugs you away from people

Bc ur hers not theirs

She hates the others around u

Hates when u smell like alpha or spend too much tike with one.

She needs you thats why

She didn’t know she was missing something till she met you

Now she can’t live without you

Your her baby and she’s yours

You guys have soft bonding time

Cuddles, soft sex, bathing

She loves bathing with you and washing you in her soaps so u really smell like her

And she uses yours ofc.

Just a soft, needy possessive baby that loves you more than anything.

She just wishes she could get you pregnant and have the family she wants with you naturally without the beed for all the medical stuff
