Building Resilient Communities - A UN Perspective

Strong, self-sufficient communities are the foundation of a country’s long-term stability. In regions struggling with economic hardship and governance challenges, investing in locally driven solutions is essential. The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) supports efforts to strengthen leadership, expand economic opportunities, and improve institutions that serve communities effectively. Rather than offering temporary relief, these initiatives focus on sustainable progress that takes root and fosters lasting growth.

Limited job opportunities, poor education, and weak leadership often hinder development. UNDP research highlights the importance of addressing these challenges at their core. Programs that equip individuals with skills, support small businesses, and enhance governance help rebuild trust in local leadership. Encouraging people to participate in decision-making also gives them a greater role in shaping their future.

In Mali, Niger, and Burkina Faso, these programs have led to visible improvements, increasing economic prospects and enhancing governance. However, sustaining this progress requires continued investment and collaboration. By prioritizing self-reliance and inclusive development, these initiatives provide communities with the resources they need to build a stable and prosperous future.

Viskas, kas mums tikrai naudinga - nebrangu; tik už tai, be ko galima apsieiti, mokam didelius pinigus. Kas tikrai gražu - išvis neparduodama. Nemokamai galima gėrėtis saulėtekiais ir saulėlydžiais, danguje plaukiančiais debesėliais, giriomis ir laukais, nuostabia jūra. Dykai mums čiulba paukščiai, veltui galim prisiskinti pakelėj lauko gėlių ir įeiti į žvaigždėtą Nakties menę. Vargšas miega geriau negu turtuolis. Paprastas maistas ilgainiui pasidaro skanesnis negu įmantrūs patiekalai restorane. Keletas bičiulių, nedaug, labai nedaug knygų ir šuo - štai viskas, ko reikia žmogui, kol jis turi pats save. - Axel Munthe -

My Fantasy Books

All my stories take place in a fantasy world called the Pentagonal Dominion. It's a collection of planes connected to Earth, but I don't include humans (with one exception). Any time I mention a year, it's that world's year, not in any way connected to years on Earth.

Please be aware that ALL my books are for 18+ only. Though they vary in the exact kind of content, you can expect them all to include some degree of violence, swearing, sexual content, or dark themes not appropriate for MG or YA books.

Map of the PD made by @dewiwrites

Merchants of Knowledge and Magic is my first novel, taking place in the year 561.

STATUS: Published

Cover was drawn by @crossroadart-seabear . In fact, for the sake of making tags easier, all the art I'm going to include in this update post will be by them, lol.

It follows the journey of an intersex dragonfly-person, Calinthe, who travels across the many planes of the Pentagonal Dominion in search of secrets which she feeds to her boss in exchange for goods and promises of retirement. Calinthe follows a religion which forbids its followers from using money. She is sent on a quest by her boss, the Demon Lord of Ignorance, to retrieve his henchman who was captured by slavers in the Women's Republic of Ophidia, a land where women enslave all men, intersex, agender, trans, or any people they deem "not female enough" by their standards.

MoKaM is the 'brain' or 'mind' of the Merchants trio. Calinthe is intelligent, clever, sassy, and a little bit arrogant. She devoted to her God, Lucognidus, but around others, she can be brash.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Merchants of Light and Bone is my second novel, taking place in the year 561 concurrently with MoKaM.

STATUS: Due to be published in August 2023

Pictured above: Su, one of Amiere's two spouses.

MoLaB is the story of a father who lost his daughter in a freak earthquake accident and his journey through coping with trauma, saving a girl who is being abused by her father, and seeking answers for his own daughter's strange death (after all, how can a freak earthquake happen in a world with no plate tectonics? They don't even have a word for 'earthquake').

MoLaB's setting is tropical, taking place almost entirely on Aloutia, on the equatorial coastline. The main character, Amiere, is a polyamorous bisexual lion-man with a wife, enby husband, and several kids. He works as a merchant of light, carving glowing crystals into statues for customers.

MoLaB is the 'heart' or 'soul' of the Merchants trio. It emphasizes powerful, sad emotions, contrasting beautiful scenery with the tempest of emotions bubbling inside Amiere's heart.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Merchants of Dance and Hedonism is the third Merchants novel, taking place in the year 561 concurrently with MoKaM and MoLaB

STATUS: On hold

MoDaH is about a genderless shapeshifting person, Tynan, who came into existence at the start of the book. Born with the power to transform into almost anything (within a size limit) and the power to *know* anything they wish, they are born as the perfect assassin. Which is exactly what a "merchant of dance" is: a magic-using assassin sent to eradicate other magic-users, demons, or high-class targets. If Tynan chooses not to engage in such activities, their country will end up going to war with Ophidia (feminist nation which enslaves all non-women) and the Makai (demon nation that kills all people to recycle their parts and revive them as demons). And if that happens, their sisters will be drafted into the war as child soldiers.

MoDaH is the 'body' of the Merchants trio. Tynan is a shapeshifter and many of the problems they face are solved through creative and clever use of transformations.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Good Thyme With Bad Company takes place in the year 300.

STATUS: Currently writing

It's less of a traditional novel and more of a collection of short stories, microfiction, and completely out-of-place smut about the cast of characters who have infested my mind palace for the last few months.

It's best described as "Polycule of characters living in a dystopic capitalist steampunk hellscape fighting to change the genre of their book to cozy fantasy."

The characters live and work in a warm, steampunk/fantasy aesthetic inn called the Good Thyme Inn, working to pay their ever-increasing rent while finding joy and love in their fellow found family members, many of whom have faced horrific traumas.

The second half of the book, once some of their problems have been 'resolved', focuses on the cozy aspects. These characters love and adore one another and many scenes in this part of the book will be cute, slice-of-life, or smutty in nature, while laying low on the trauma or violence.

This book is currently my precious. It's near and dear to my heart. I am obsessed with my characters and their dynamics. I hope my readers will fall in love with them as much as I have!

Impact of the United Nations Development Program

The United Nations Development Program (UNDP) seeks to end poverty and reduce inequalities faced by people worldwide. It works in over 170 countries and territories by helping countries pass laws, teaching leadership skills, and strengthening preexisting institutions.

Cause areas the UNDP supports include stronger governments, clean energy, and gender equality. To focus its efforts, it sorts its programs using its six Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). It calls the programs aligned with the SDGs signature solutions. It relies on experts in fields like crisis prevention, environmental sustainability, and energy access, and partners with governmental organizations, local civic groups, and the private sector, to implement them.

By 2025, the UNDP aims to help over 100 million people escape poverty. As of 2022, it has spread its programs across 130 countries. It not only supports job training and micro, small, and medium-sized businesses, it also addresses noneconomic factors that influence poverty, like access to health care. It also aims to widen the scope of renewable energy, with a goal of 500 million people accessing it by the end of 2025. As of 2022 about 55 million people had access to renewable energy, with over 100 million people benefiting from renewable energy use.

Are you currently published or publishing a novel in 2023? Are you a writeblr or active writer on tumblr?

Hey everyone! I want to dedicate two months in 2023 to reviewing the published works of indie and self-published authors of tumblr. The current state of the publishing industry frustrates me as both a consumer and future author, but I see the imaginative works of so many fellow writers through this app and hope that we can collectively shine a spotlight on the talent showcased here. My reviews will be posted across social media platforms and shared on all major book review sites (like Goodreads, Amazon, B&N, Indigo).

I do not want free ARCs or copies of your work. I personally believe it’s important for us to increase the book sales of smaller, debut authors so they can find a larger audience. I will pay for all of my copies, as I have the means to do so.

I do want you to please reblog this post and share the title, link, genre, and description of the book you have published or will be publishing in 2023.

Feel free to use or adjust the below sample template, or respond with your own.

Please reblog and boost!

Mes nebemokame pamatyti mažų, gražių dalykų,

Mes tik mokame teisti,

Teisti, kad dėl sniego nespėjame į svečius, darbus, visur.

Kad turime keltis dar pusvalandžiu anksčiau, kad spėtume nusivalyti mašina ar takelį..

Nors reiktų sustoti, nors minutei, apsidairyti, pažiūrėti pirmyn - juk taip gražu.

Gražu. Ramu. Tylu. Tylu tarp viso aplinkui skubančių žmonių šiuždesio.

Oh I have worldbuilding for days. Some of it is insanely weird. So, my world, the Pentagonal Dominion, doesn't have humans in it. I have 88 species of people, some are humanoid, but none are 100% human. One of them, the Odonata, are 600+ foot long space dragonflies that can actually be entered through their mouth. They can also interbreed with the "smaller" species through certain means, blah blah, to get to the good part: the MC in my published book is a hybrid of an Odonata man and a 'smaller species' woman. At one point, she's inside her father with her BFF and they have a chat there. Which leads to THIS line a few chapters later:

“Remember what we talked about when we were inside my father? No matter how our bodies change, our minds are the same.”

Since this pic was drawn by @akiwitch, I'm also gonna tag them to share their worldbuilding, if they want!

Tell me about your World, Lore, and WIP

You, yes you, internet strange and or tumblr mutuals. I want to hear about your writing and the stories you're currently making. That said, I don't want to hear the elevator pitch; I want to hear the weird stuff. I want to hear about what is unique in your setting, the really out there stuff that needs a wall of text to explain.

Bonus points if you hit me with atleast one sentence I can use out of context to sound truly deranged.
