About the Russian invasion - how is everyone feeling there? What can we do to help?

Thank you so much for asking!

A little bit of history: it's actually been 8 years since russia first invaded our country. But for the last years it was getting more and more quiet. And now BOOM again

Many people evacuated from the destroyed by war cities in 2014 and some still live there even though they support Ukraine. It's hard to leave your home. So it's emotionally different for everyone. There was a joke that people from Kyiv worry more than people from Eastern Ukraine. Because they have experienced a similar thing in 2014 and now they're more prepared than ever before.

Personally, I'm panicking from time to time, because, yup, it's stressful. Most people don't really speak about the war and evacuation because it's scary. But I feel like everyone's trying to be prepared for the evacuation or fighting. Every night does feel like a last one, after all.

Since the beginning of the war, our people have been giving money to military charity. One of the most famous military charities is "Return alive" (Povernysya zhivim). Many Ukrainians donate here every month. Here is a link for Facebook page of the charity, let me know if it translates to English or if i should make a post with translation:

There is also a charity that helps military. Yana Zinkevych, a Ukrainian politician and a commander of the Hospitallers Medical Battalion, leads this charity. In 2015 she was paralyzed during a mission and since then she has been using a wheelchair. She has personally saved more than 200 soldiers and she's awesome.

In her post here she makes a list of needed ammunition and the needed money.

I tried to write about the charities that Ukrainians trust in. They are famous, they have been trusted by people all these years, so as far as I am concerned, they can be trusted.

Here is a post by @everlasting-burnout who provided more links. They seem trustworthy.

Thank you so much for reading and I encourage to reblog. Just to remind you, I'm trying to tell about Ukrainian situation as objectively and as truthfully as I can

Anne and Gilbert still really are that slowburn couple

Are there Adrien Salt takes that you agree with?

I mean, the thing about salt that I inherently disagree with is how it often equates "a character making a mistake / doing something 'bad' " to "a bad character / poor writing / a bad person".

Like, I could sit here and list out all the mistakes that Adrien has made, but that doesn't mean I agree with the salt interpretation of those mistakes. I kind of equate "[character] salt" in the fandom at this point with "bad faith criticism of the character", and no, I don't have any 'bad faith' criticisms of Adrien.

I think at the end of the day, Adrien and Marinette are both flawed characters who have done things I disagree with, but those flaws and decisions are what make them compelling characters. And even when I don't agree with their choices, I always understand why they made them (and it's almost always either some kind of trauma response or a misguided attempt to do good), and that's why I love them.

They're just kids, they're genuinely trying their best, and they're going to make some interesting mistakes along the way. I don't personally see any point in fixating on those mistakes. That's just not how I enjoy the show.

( also, please no one add salt to this post. just wanted to answer the question and honestly I'd prefer to stay sodium-free. make your own post if you must. )

Violet smiled as the telegram finished printing, her finger touching the Q in her friend’s name. It was almost as if knowing that Quigley was alive was enough of a message.

Where’s the difference?

JATP characters/relationships as text messages
