Right now, predictions are 4-5 million refugees to come from Ukraine to Europe and other parts of the world - women and children, and those over the age of 60, as all men between 18-60 must stay in Ukraine to aid in the defense. The humanitarian crisis is something not seen since world war II in Europe. The most will come to Poland, Slovakia, Moldavia, Romania and Hungary, the neighboring countries. The whole of Europe is opening their borders unconditionally, and the EU is going to give all the aid they can to the neighboring countries of Ukraine.

But, if you want to and can help, there are always the large international aid organisations to support, for example the Red Cross, or UNHCR. They do very important work in the areas and in Ukraine.

@geeklure Those are freaking amazing!

Getting invited to do something absolutely crazy - and yet logical within the context of the plot - something that might get my character killed, but it would be absolutely fine. I love it when crazy ideas get to be made reality by staff.

Additionally, speaking with someone about plot elements that encourages THEM to pitch another crazy idea! Makes me feel all warm inside.

@macha Been rooting for you quietly in the background and seeing your post now made me genuinely happy for you. Congratulations!

Adding another, cause I am also right now obsessed with Korean shows, so much so that I think my co-workers are annoyed with me cause I talk about them a lot. It's all I watch apart from the other random few shows (The Witcher just came out after all, and I watch Wheel of Time.)

I watch videos on youtube that tend to be in the same ballpark:

Cleaning extremely cluttered/dirty houses.
Fixing up extremely overgrown yards.
Renovating old houses.

Definitely a theme. I think I get extreme enjoyment seeing the results, the tangible results.

Also love watching reactions to music, especially music I know well. I wonder what that is, but clearly I am not alone. Might be the sense of sharing love over that good song with someone who's never heard it before. Like how sometimes you've excitedly 'forced' friends to listen to that song you just found and love.

My two oldest and best IRL friends I met via Mu*s. I now have another friend via one of those friends, and he is our DM for our now 5-year old Pathfinder campaign. Haven't met him that many times, but consider him one of my best buddies.

We don't meet much - we live too far apart. Nor am I the best at keeping in touch, I'm a bit of a hermit. But we try to meet a couple of times a year (except now due to the virus, we haven't for nearly 2 years). I also lived in the same town as one of them for 4 years, he even basically got me the job I had there.

None of them still Mu* however - but I can talk about it a bit now and then, since they used to do it.

@tek I actually tried some tablet weaving - it's one of those skills in SCA I figured even I could learn, but I didn't really have the patience. But it was fascinating how it works, and some people - they MUST be using magic when making them.

So many uses for those bands too. I hope you sell loads, they do look freaking awesome.

@tek Tablet weaving? I swear that is some magical shit happening! They look great!

@silverfox Maybe your students would enjoy watching this too

This was cute and I'm sure some of you can relate. (I went to work throughout the whole thing, essential worker or something.) Just made me smile though. SFW!

I sat down and watched Beastars cause it was brought up in this thread and was sort of horrifiedly fascinated. Some parts made me go 'what the actual fuck' - but I thought the characters were pretty cool, the voices were great, so I found myself watching the whole thing.

@arkandel It was epic.

***=NSFW content***

Well well well! This looks fun. Marvel's 'What if...?'

@arkandel Loki was always my favorite character in the movies but I agree - this brought him up a level. I wasn't joking, I am totally obsessed, been watching Youtube clips every free moment today, haha. I just learned there's now a season break till next episode and I'm crying. Cryyyying.

Edit to add: Just saw there is NO season break and it'll only be 6 episodes. My mate was misinformed I think.

I am obsessed with Loki right now. I love it and I wish it never ends.

@icanbeyourmuse Based on what I see people playing on Arx? Yes. Scholars are popular.

I have only listened to this Israeli song and the Swedish one - I won't even watch it - but I agree on the Swedish one this time, it's not good enough. And the Israeli one, though good, is not memorable enough either I think. But who knows!

Roleplaying with someone you love rping with whom you have not Rped with in a long time.
