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.

i love the fact that jack fenton is EXCEEDINGLY good at fighting possession but doesn’t fight back at all when danny overshadows him, like that’s his boy he doesn’t need to worry (even if he doesn’t quite remember right afterwards)

Imagine you're just some ex-superhero guy in a D-tier timeline who fucked up his whole life and is drinking his sorrows at an ungodly hour at some shitty bar that's half a second from banning you and then a guy in a silly little superhero suit who acts like a middle schooler on coke comes out of nowhere and drags you to an office and then almost immediately you are sent to purgatory possibly forever. A giant cloud tries to eat you, twice. A guy gets his skin ripped off by a psychic. You hang out in a diner in purgatory and drive around in a minivan and kick this dumbass superhero's ass every five seconds until eventually you become friends and hold hands and save the world. Can you imagine? I can't. But you know who can? My good friend Logan Howlett,,
