Is He…you Know…your “secret Buddy On Tatooine”? 

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

Image description: it's an illustration of Ahsoka Tano. She's wearing Minoan inspired tunics, specifically that of a young priestess. She is holding both of her lightsabers in front of her. She has a golden solid tiara, a turquoise necklace and gold bracelets. There's pearls that start from the top of her montrals and wrap around her lekku. End of description.

Here, have Anakin goofing around with Council members, as a treat.

(This is not a compilation of every friendly/positive interaction between Anakin and the Council, as I can’t take that many captures. This is just specifically Anakin and Council members - Obi-Wan excluded - bantering.)

Plo:

-

Ki-Adi:

-

Mace:

-

[Anakin’s pouty face, I just can’t.]

-

[I can’t get over Anakin’s face.]

[And by the way:]

-

Adi:

[Here, have a better look at their expressions:]

I’m so cool. Have you noticed how cool I am?

Ah, kids.

-

Even:

[Bonus close up of Anakin’s face when Even brags about being too tough for the Seps’ methods of torture.]

My family is awesome.

-

And finally…

Kit:

[About a ship in pieces:]

[The next one is a follow up to this deleted scene, which is like 500% funnier than this entire post. It’s roasting Anakin hours, and Kit brings his A-game. Anyway, here Anakin is trying to be one with the flow of the water/commune with the eels.]

[Anakin gets zapped.]

-

Yoda and Anakin get an entire post dedicated to their dynamic here.

+ Bonus Luminara (not a Council Member):

They’re having so much fun and I love it.

In case anyone needs it, I have the "library" of every clone that has an official name in the Clone Wars.

It's a sheet of gifs but it still has everyone (except the newest characters from Bad Batch they haven't been added yet.)

A gift.

Right before my chronic fatigue crash nap of the day, I thought of the perfect metaphor to describe what chronic fatigue is like:

The medical definition of chronic fatigue is "a fatigue that can not be solved by rest."

Here it is, presuming that:

-energy is a form of currency

-and that our bodies hold that energy like a bank account

-and every task requires a certain amount of energy (ex: getting dressed, showering, making dinner, dishes, laundry, taking out the trash, seeing friends, going to work or school)

-and that sleep is the labor by which we obtain income (energy), the payment system works as thus:

Able-bodied people are paying for their daily tasks with a debit card. There is no interest, and depending on how much sleep they get per day, that income will restore itself.

Disabled people, especially people with chronic fatigue or chronic pain, are paying for everything with a credit card, and that credit card has a high-interest rate. No matter how much energy they accumulate in sleep, some of that money is always getting paid to reduce some of their debt.

If they wish to attempt paying off that debt quickly, that means spending a lot less money on daily necessities: that means letting dishes stack up, not doing the laundry, skipping showers, staying home from school or work.

Which is the equivalent of someone in debt not taking their car to a mechanic, not being able to visit a doctor, not replacing shoes and jackets as they wear out, having to put off paying their electricity bill. Those financial needs will not disappear in a few weeks, but rather will begin to accumulate so that as soon as you have a little extra money, that's where it's going.

Chores, school work, and personal care are not going anywhere either.

And if those needs get taken care of, that's less money to pay off the debt, and interest grows until your card is maxed out. The physical health version of maxing out your credit card is having a medical relapse.

And if you started off reading this wondering why on earth disabled people were paying with credit instead of debit, why they had accumulated so much debt so quickly, the answer is this: a medical emergency, possibly one that required being hospitalized.

The bills of that medical emergency are steep, and that is no fault of the disabled person.

(This metaphor brought to you by my brain as I crashed on Wednesday, typed up before class on Thursday, and forgot about until Sunday)

I’ve never been more thrilled to have been wrong than having realized this weekend that the GOP and Trump don’t really know how to utilize the assassination attempt against him without being off-putting little freaks (those ear bandages?? weird.) and now the cycle has moved on and no one cares anymore
