Harvey has dropped 11 trillion gallons of water of Texas so far, forced 5,500 people into shelters, necessitated 2,000 water rescues, and left at least five people dead. And, on top of all that, rains are expected to continue throughout the week, further aggravating this unprecedented disaster.
This is where you come in.
There are plenty of ways you can donate, volunteer, and otherwise provide relief to those in need. We’ve listed a bunch below, but you should feel free to reblog and add your own suggestions. We all need each other right now.
The mayor of Houston has put together a Hurricane Harvey Relief Fund through the Greater Houston Community Foundation.
You can provide essential relief to the young, the elderly, and the disabled through donations to the Texas Diaper Bank.
SBP is “dedicated to shrinking the time between disaster and recovery.” Click through for some examples of what your donation can pay for.
Don’t forget about the animals that have been displaced. The San Antonio Humane Society is here for them.
Beyond donations, FEMA is actively seeking volunteers, stating that the scope of the disaster is greater than the government can handle. If you have space for refugees, you can offer that space for free through Airbnb. And if you have a boat, you can help the Houston Police in their water rescue efforts. Just call 713-881-3100.
Like Ghibli has that perfect look of water where yeah, it’s not exactly -realistic- but they capture the perfect feeling.
I love this and now I need to find a collection of gifs oh Ghibli hair. I love when it does the poof thing. None of this is realistic, but it is wonderfully emotive. Emotions usually feel more talk than physics anyways.
Ghibli movies tend to exude an almost dreamlike feeling or a feeling like nostalgia– like, the general mood of the films feel like summer in the country when the sun is shining and it’s quiet and there’s a breeze going, or the smell of fresh cookies from the oven or the way a freshly-laundered quilt feels when it’s wrapped around you by someone you love.
studio ghibli has a weird way of having both very little and alot of movement at the same time
I’m not alone. Dude every movie does this to me.
Every movie has a sense of home to it. Like you belong here, you aren’t on the outside looking in but immersed into the film and are simultaneously experiencing it as it happens.
