DO. NOT. STORE. YOUR. VALUABLES. IN. THE. DISHWASHER
sorry for the non-art post but as hurricane Florence continues slowly through the Carolinas, a hoax that started circulating in 2017 is making rounds again and I’ve already seen it on tumblr even though appliance experts and flooding victims advice NOT to store your important items inside a dishwasher
people spreading this misinformation are prefacing it with ‘’my cousin/aunt/whatever who survived hurricane Katrina said…” so it sounds like sincere advice from a trusted person who actually tried it, and I don’t get WHY they feel the need to lie about something so simple when it could endanger people
A dishwasher isn’t waterproof. It is not designed to keep flooding water OUT.
Dishwashers can also get loose under hurricane winds and end up somewhere outside the house.
People WILL lose their most priced stuff because of this!!
The largest storm ‘since records began’ is currently building in south east Asia/ the Pacific – its looks like it’ll be skirting the Phillipines and hitting the area around Hong Kong and Macau around Monday the 17th.
This is Typhoon Mangkhut
Those little green lines are islands and countries.
It is LARGER/STRONGER THAN FLORENCE
It’s currently typhoon 10. The highest cataorgoy and equivalent to a category 5 for American hurricanes.
Jfc, pray for South East Asia
Here are some statistics that show how powerful Mangkhut is:
At its peak on Wednesday, Mangkhut became the strongest storm of 2018, with wind speeds of 285 kph (180 mph).
Typhoon-force winds stretch for 270 kilometers (168 miles), which is the distance between Paris and Brussels.
Tropical storm-force winds are expected to extend all the way south to the Philippines’ capital, Manila, and as far north as Taiwan.
On the Philippines’ island of Luzon, more than 30 million people are expected to face tropical storm-force winds.
More than 4 million people are in the path of the most destructive typhoon-force winds in northern Luzon.
Satellite images from Wednesday show the comparative sizes of Florence and Mangkhut.
30 million people. That’s a lot of fucking people.

You may have heard about the efforts in Europe to reform copyright law. The debate has been ongoing in the European Parliament for months. If approved next week, these new regulations would require us to automatically filter and block content that you upload without meaningful consideration of your right to free expression.
We respect the copyrights and trademarks of others, and we take all reports seriously to ensure that your creative expression is protected. We make this clear in our Community Guidelines. There’s already a legal framework that works and is fair: Todaywe take down posts and media that contain allegedly infringing content when we receive a valid DMCA (Digital Millennium Copyright Act) takedown request. We also provide clear-cut ways for people to fight back if they believe their removed content was not a true violation. These instances are monitored and reported and live in our biannual transparency report.
The suggestion to use automated filters for issues of copyright is short-sighted at best and harmful at worst. Automated filters are unable to determine whether a use should be considered “fair use” under the law and are unable to determine whether a use is authorized by a license agreement. They are unable to distinguish legitimate parody, satire, or even your own personal pictures that could be matched with similar photographs that have been protected by someone else. We don’t believe that technology should replace human judgment.
Tumblr is and always has been a place for creative expression, and these new regulations would only make it harder for you to express yourself with the freedom and clarity you do so now.
If you access Tumblr from Europe and want to act, you can find more information on saveyourinternet.eu.
Please reblog this as much as you reblogged the posts about Net Neutrality.
If Article 13 is approved, European People might be basically banned from uploading any fan content.
You won’t get new fanfics from people in Europe.
You won’t get new gifs from people in Europe.
You won’t get new fanart from people in Europe.
Because they’ll be automatically filtered and blocked!
We might leave Tumblr and other fandom pages.
And if we’re getting all our content blocked?
You might lose some of your favourite followers/mutuals.
You might not get to read the rest of that fic you’re dying to read – simply because the writer lives in the wrong country.
So do whatever you can to help us stop this.
Reblog this.
CONTACT YOUR REPRESENTATIVES TO TELL THEM YOU DON’T WANT ARTICLE 13 TO BE APPROVED IF YOU’RE EUROPEAN! DO IT VIA THE HOMEPAGE
SIGNAL BOOST PLEASE
THIS IS IMPORTANT AGAIN
Reblog friends!!!
reblogging again because our govern is shit please help us
1. if your area is under mandatory evacuation, you NEED to leave. there will no no emergency services when the storm hits, this includes 911. there are no hospitals, you will be on your own. if you are under mandatory evacuation and choose to stay, write your full name and social security # on your arm so that you can be identified if you are found unresponsive.
2. fill the tubs/sinks with water, the power will be out for 2-3 days at least. fill bowls and cover them so they don’t get dust or debris in them.
3. don’t go to the attic. floods are scary, and your first instinct may be to get to higher ground once water enters your home. if you have a second floor, go there. if not, get to the ROOF. DO NOT TAKE SHELTER IN YOUR ATTIC!! the water may rise and trap you in there. always be in a place where you can escape if the water gets too high.
4. buy spray paint. this saved lots of lives in nola. if you get to the roof, you can write a message so that rescue crews can see. keep it simple, ex: “4 survivors. 1 elderly diabetic. 1 child.” if/when you escape your home, cross your message out and/or write “rescued” so that emergency crews know you don’t need help anymore. (if you have enough paint try to include your last name)
5. don’t go in the water, please. you don’t know what’s in there, you don’t know how deep it is. turn around, don’t drown. under NO circumstances should you drive a vehicle through flood waters.
6. mail important documents to relatives and take pictures of everything, and make insurance claims early. take EVERYTHING off the floor and put it on a table.
7. charge your phones, and buy an old fashioned radio and program it to the weather center.
i know it’s scary. it’ll be ok, this happened before and it’ll happen again. stay safe, don’t take any chances out there.
Ok so I know I already technically have a promo for this blog but… I need to follow some more oso blogs!
So if you’re an osomatsu-san ask blog that is b/l/matsu free and would like to interact w/ this blog, please REBLOG this and I’ll check you out!
Ocs/other aus are fine! also since this is a sideblog I’ll be following with my main blog (pinklemonfruit)
((my entire writing process has been in complete shambles recently due to irl stress and constant anxiety, i really am sorry for not doing what I promised to do this summer. i’ll try to pick things up again soon, and hopefully i can get my hands on some of the stage show and concert tour material to incorporate them into here. i promise, i’ll make it up to you all.))
