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:

Guys I like to ship characters with characters I see myself on, especially sparkle that is like my kin (and mangle/ink too).
The thing is, I ship them with characters I love, which ends up creating a bunch of rarepairs
But people don't usually like rarepairs (for some reason? I love them, I could talk about a lot of rarepairs I like) and that means I can't talk about my ships and I can't have anyone to talk about them >:(

Hello!! I saw your requests were open so could I ask for kin tips for sparkle (hsr)? :D if you do it thank you so much!! (No pressure ofc)
KIN TIPS:
I would say Sparkle has a very unique look in a good way. I would definitely recommend trying to find some of her clothes or at least put some of her colors into your outfits.
If you can trying to recreate her mask might help you as well, specific things that remind you of what she wore would be good as well.
If you are into theatre, I’d definitely recommend that to help if you are interested. If you are nervous about actually preforming, doing stuff in the safety of your room could be really fun.
Try recreating areas she frequents in your room or make/buy certain objects that she has or remind you of her.
Roleplaying could be super fun if you are into that sort of thing, maybe try DND, it’s pretty fun.
I hope some of this is up your alley, I hope this helped!!!
