japan

okay, so i got super lucky and didn't get hit with any typhoons, earthquakes, or nuclear reactor partial meltdowns (yet), but japan did, and things suck over there right now. so if you were feeling charitable, it might not be a bad idea to head over to one of these websites and maybe donate a few dollars:

also, things look worse for the nuclear reactors as of this morning, there was a third explosion which may have caused damage to the reactor #2, which increases risk of more radiation being released. nothing serious yet, but that's bad news. these were the best and most up to date articles i found:

so yeah, maybe a donation would be nice, no one deserves nuclear meltdown on top of a typhoon on top of the fourth largest earthquake since 1900.
