words for everything:

vivatregina:

Manila is experiencing the worst flooding it’s had in decades. Twitter is abuzz with hotlines and horrible news of loved ones stranded on their rooftops, waiting for rescue. Houses are flooded, property is being destroyed, and that’s only for the people who actually have homes. I shudder to think of what’s going unreported and what it must be like for the people who haven’t got a roof over their heads.

I’m so thankful to be safely at home on high ground.

Please, keep Manila in your prayers, and try to gather relief goods — old clothes, canned goods, etcetera, because when this storm is over, there are going to be people who will need them. We need to do what we can to help.
