Hurricane Helpers Collaboration 🌧️
Ansy: I’m teaming up with my friend on IG, PKMN Professor Case, to raise funds for hurricane relief efforts in areas affected by recent storms.
Case: As Hurricane Milton approaches, we’re creating special thank-you art for anyone who contributes to our fundraiser to support those in need. Details coming soon—stay tuned for how you can help!
From both of us, thank you! & if you are/were in the path of either hurricane, stay safe. 🩵
Not my meme but figured I'd share for those about to ride out the storm
My family is all in those mountains of East TN. I got married in those mountains in East TN. I've driven those back roads and ran through fields in the summer heat chasing fireflies. I've watched the sun rise and set over the vast peaks in the distance and I've smelled the thunderstorms that roll in the late afternoon sky. The fear, the unknowing. I'm thankful my family made it out alive, but the families that didn't don't deserve the hate for "not being prepared" or because of their state color is stupid and barbaric because how do you prepare for something like flooding in the mountains, the land slides, the no warning. Children ripped from their parents, grandparents who were raised on that land just like their parents before them and suddenly it's all gone under mud, rubble and fast moving water. People need help, people are missing and currently dying but hey, when you're nustled in your cozy bed with warm water and all the food you could eat, why bother to see the other side.
I’m from the south and I have family who live in Appalachia. While my family out there wasn’t within the zone of the damage caused by hurricane helene, their homes were decimated by another natural disaster a couple of years ago.
The response to their suffering then is the same as it is now, to the victims of Helene. That somehow, they deserved it, because they live in an area that votes red, or maybe vote red themselves.
This is elitist and classist bullshit and it’s fucking disgusting. Any person who claims to want a world in which we establish self-sustaining communities who, in the same breath, condemns people to death is not the progressive they tout themselves to be. They are vile and cruel.
You do not get to speak on Appalachia’s voting patterns if you do not understand the history and context that created it. You do not get to wish death upon hundreds or thousands of children or disabled persons or any marginalized community simply because they happened to be born in an area you’ve written off as irredeemable. You do not get to cower behind the generalizations you make about an entire region simply because its poverty and disenfranchisement make you uncomfortable.
I am so, so sick of coastal liberals speaking on the South/Appalachia when they have neither the interest nor desire to help the people here. Who seek only to condescend and then have the gall to act confused why they won’t side with the very people who tell them they deserve to lose their homes, their families, their lives, because they don’t vote for certain candidates. If you can’t be fucked to learn the first thing about the area, keep its people out of your mouth.
People seeing this please support them and share this!!!!
I can't donate anything but I really hope you guys are able to get the money that you need and that you guys are able to stay as safe as possible!! <333
TWO DISABLED PEOPLE NEED HELP AFTER HURRICANE HELENE
hi, i dont like making these posts, but at this time im genuinely at such a loss that i dont know what to do.
helene ripped through where me and my partner live and we arent doing good and we need help.
i work a $15/hr job but i cant work more than 20hrs a week due to my disability, and this is only enough to pay my share of rent and sort of feed us and our animals.
my partners job got absolutely fucking decimated. he worked for a small business dog boarding kennel and it flooded. all of the dogs are safe but the kennel is in no state to be working at and is not safe or useable for animals or people. the bridge to the road its on is also completely gone and we have no idea when it will be rebuilt.
we were mostly relying on my partners income, and due to our local walmart being shut down our only options are more expensive/higher end grocery stores. he also needs to make rent. neither of us can take being separated after all of this and we no longer have the money to move out or get a separate vehicle as we were planning.
for the record. we are no where near rich. we already struggled to make ends meet. his car was going to be a free(ish) handmedown from his mom but without his high paying job he cant afford car insurance, and now his only option is a 10/h job and that just isnt enough.
he cannot make rent, i dont know if i can afford to care for our cats. we wernt planned for this to happen because a fucking hurricane in the mountains shouldve been impossible.
commission my partner directly here: https://www.tumblr.com/showf4ll-media/763189903486042112/these-were-the-damages-done
you can support me by watching and sharing this video as it is fully monetized, as well as the other monetized content on my channel. if i can make just $50 off this video ill have enough built up ad revenue from a year+ for google to release my money (they release at $100):
i hesitate to ask for direct donations but anything helps. at the moment we have people who can feed us but we need rent money.
if i decide to ask for direct donations it would be to pay off about $300 worth of vet bill debt but i dont know how to set that up and i dont know exact amounts, etc
i cant take commissions right now because between work and all of this i cant manage that ontop of everything. i have a few characters for sale so if youre interested in that you can find them here:

thank you.
shocked i haven't seen more postings about Hurricane Helene—there has been apocalyptic level flooding happening throughout huge areas of the southeastern USA. Roads providing the only access to remote areas have been totally obliterated.
My moms facebook groups from the western NC area where her family is from are overrun with posts of people pleading for information about their loved ones
Not my meme but figured I'd share for those about to ride out the storm
Edit bc I'm seeing a lot of confused international reblogs: this was posted because of Hurricane Milton absolutely demolishing Florida this week after Helene went through and because US insurance agencies are kind of assholes. Stay safe out there and thanks for signal boosting!
So beautiful. Working on Elk Mountain. Low clouds coming over the mountains
