This is Saipan, a tiny but beautiful U.S. territory out in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. This is where I was born and raised. This is my home.
On Aug. 2, 2015, it was hit directly by Earth’s most powerful storm this year: Super Typhoon Soudelor. It was the worst typhoon our island has seen in a decade, and it was devastating. It is now in a state of emergency and flagged a “disaster area.”
Damaged cars, telephone poles, roofs, fallen trees amongst other debris now dominates this once beautiful island. These pictures are just a tiny fraction of all the damage taken from Super Typhoon Soudelor.
The airports and seaports were shut down. Emergency relief planes could not land for a time, because debris had to be removed from the airstrips.
The first plane to fly in held people from FEMA.
Entire homes have been claimed, leaving over 350 families homeless and living in makeshift shelters at various schools around the island, shelters which have been maxed out.
Amongst these people are my friends and family who have lost almost everything. (My own mom and sister had to take shelter in a neighbor’s home after a portion of our roof ripped off. They were nearly trapped in there, unable to open the door because the pressure in the house was too strong. I have several other family members and friends who have had their homes damaged.)
After the storm, a total of two Shell gas stations were up and operational. The lines for gas at each station were at least two miles long. Because of a 500 gallon leakage in the storage tanks into the port of Saipan, residents are only allowed $20 worth of gas each to help conserve the dwindling supply.
Only small sections of the island have running water, and the only power that is available is that through generators.
Fortunately, no casualties have been reported, and relief efforts are underway. Saipan is going to be only one of many victims of the strongest storm of the year.
The hardest thing for me about this situation is that I’m not there, and I can’t help them recover from this. Spreading the word is literally the only thing I can do that is within my power, and I’m asking for you to do the same.
Please donate to this cause to help save Saipan and the CNMI.

I understand if you can’t (hell, I’m not able to donate either), but please help get the word out and reblog this. This is my first time reaching out to the Tumblr community for help on such a serious matter, and I’m hoping it will be the last.
Please signal boost!

Recently my job has been severely cutting hours. To the point where my partner and I have been working bare minimum and they refuse to let us take on more hours than scheduled. Which doesn’t sound like a big problem, but we barely afford everything when we work 40hrs+overtime.
With this recent cut, we can afford rent and very few bills.
Our rent is around 800$, plus car insurance, phone bills and my medical bills.
What we can NOT afford is food. We’re eating all that’s left in our cupboard right now, but that will run out soon. Even when we get paid next this week, it won’t be enough to feed us through the following week.
We get paid minimum wage. And we are about to starve.
So what can you do to help?
We’re not asking for much but every little bit helps.
You can commission me or simply donate to our paypal: soeki-pixie@live.com
My commission post is here, but you can see more examples of my art here.
Please consider helping us out. Both my partner and I would really appreciate it.
Please signal boost if you can, Thank you!!
Hey! So, Coming Out Day is coming up soon (Oct. 11) and I just want to post a very stern reminder to NOT out anyone without their explicit permission.
Do NOT out anyone.
Got it?
Okay.

hey be sure to block steven-universe-edits and stevens-alternate-universe and steven-did-nothing-wrong as they are all piss poor attempts at shitting on su characters by recoloring them white/thin as well as recoloring gemsonas
don’t interact with them, don’t feed them. they only want to get a rise out of you. it may be tempting, but reblogging their posts is only making it worse by encouraging them. i mean it. DO NOT INTERACT WITH THEM.
