Millions of people have been affected by a natural disaster in Myanmar. The U.N. estimates that 1.5 million people have been "severely affected". Aid is getting in at a slow pace, but hopefully it will help. If you have some extra cash, you can donate to either UNICEF or Direct Relief International by clicking here.
One more request. Can we call the country by its actual name? Can we stop calling it Burma? Its not Burma, its Myanmar. What is the deal with this odd colonialist nostalgia? Are we going to start calling Iran "Persia"? Are we going to call Mumbai "Bombay"? Are you going to insist on calling Uptown Charlotte "Downtown"? They've spent millions of dollars calling it Uptown, just accept it.
Um, got a little off track. Again, click here to donate.
