Japan

So, like many people, I have been watching and reading about the total devastation in Japan. Like several people on my f-list, I would like to do something to help. Also, like several people on my f-list, I was not 100% comfortable about some of the pictures being used to urge people to donate to the different charities.

I could not look at the houses on fire or flooded with water and not think, "Someone lives there. That's someone's home." So I made something that I hope would not be quite so triggering for people who have friends and loved ones actually living through the disaster right now. If it is still too much, please let me know and I will take it down.

So, yeah, needless to say, there's about a 99.9% chance I will be offering something up at the help_japan/help_japan auction going on. In the interim, I have made both the icon you see above and the banner below for anyone and everyone to use if they so desire. My only request is no hotlinking as I have no idea what LJ would do about that.
