As we’re all aware by now, one of the worst environmental disasters in recorded history is underway in the Gulf.

As helpless as you may feel, you can do something right now by donating to a Gulf protection group like Save Our Gulf, the National Audubon Society, or the Greater New Orleans Foundation.

To get all of you involved this week, we’re replacing Tumblr’s usual ocean blue with a new heart-of-BP-executive black and letting you donate without leaving your Dashboard.

Donating will also unlock the Limited Edition Black Dashboard as an account preference.

Name Kyoko Has a Blog
Location Maryland
First post March 2009

Kyoko Escamilla is a photographer, crafter, and apple farmer born and raised in Nagasaki, Japan. From an early age, she’s been passionate about comics and superheroes. Thanks to them, she learned english, heroism, and the fact that not everyone can pull off the cape look. “Superheroes were my first set of friends,” she says. Every weekend, she sells her knitted hats, original photos, and apples at the local farmer’s market. Kyoko has dogs named Bo, Rufio, Tink, Lux, Mowgli, and Theodore Bear. She can juggle, enjoys magic, and is better at Call of Duty: Black Ops than you are.
