"Ситий по горло праведний гнів

Вчора був людиною — сьогодні озвірів

Калічив себе праведний гнів

Якщо боги це дозволили, я вб'ю всіх богів"

I hate PR sequel with whole my being, but there's one tiny concept in it, that "sparks joy" in me - unhinged disappointed Newt seeking destruction. It is totally irrelevant for the franchise itself, but I can't help but root for the (headcanon`y) concept of Newt looking at what PPDC has become, what his home has become, and being so utterly disappointed in all of this, that he willfully gives in to aliens and aids another attempted invasion. I mean, PPDC literally training children combatants? Jaegers becoming commodity for power browls? Nepotism around appointments at the headquarters? Was it worth it?

I want to push "Armand is a Crimean tatar" agenda so much 😭😭😭

[bonbalaur]

Crimean Tatar Armand is so dear to me

cause I'm a Crimean Tatar.

and for the first time in my life, I heard a mention of us in the western media

deportation, genocide and now no one knows about us. I was shocked when I heard a minor mention of Crimea.

the world needs to hear about us. and we need your support.

Crimea is under Russian occupation and 80% of political prisoners in Crimea are Crimean Tatars.

Ukraine Donation Guide Master Post

Multi-Purpose

United 24 has various fundraisers dedicated to defense and drones, medical aid, rebuilding Ukraine, humanitarian demining, and science and education. You can pick which one you want to contribute to under their various projects.

Liberty Ukraine uses funds for humanitarian aid, medical supplies, protective gear and equipment, and rehabilitation therapy. You can choose which campaign of theirs to donate to.

Come Back Alive is a charitable foundation that supports Ukraine's military with competent assistance while also focusing on security and defense. They also have projects that use sports to help veterans rehabilitate. You can choose which campaign to donate to.

Serhiy Prytula Charity Foundation works to help both civilians and Ukraine's army. You can choose to donate to an active project or any of their general campaigns. Civilian aid campaigns cover temporary housing, supporting crisis and emergency responses, schools, demining, and healthcare. Military aid campaigns cover drones, optics units, communications equipment, and support of air defense teams.

Food Aid

World Central Kitchen works with local partners wherever they are providing food aid. They make sure meals and meal kits are what the local population eats. Even though there is no separate fundraising campaign for Ukraine (that I can see), they still do great work.

Animal Rescue

Hachiko Foundation works to help displaced pets and strays in frontline areas. They help with veterinary care, outdoor shelters, setting up feeding stations, and rehoming animals..

If you're on twitter, there are a number of groups and people that fundraise for Ukraine and for specific units fighting on the frontlines.

When considering on whether to donate, always use your best judgement and donate to those you trust if you do not see what is listed is up to your standards.
