"And I am a pioneer naïve enough to believe this"

[hermionesviolin]

samfeasor pointed out that if each member of fandom_counts donated just one dollar to charity, that would be over $25,000 donated to charity.

I'd been thinking recently about how I don't actually tithe but I feel like I should, so this was the additional motivator I needed to actually bust out my debit card/checkbook.

This is what my list currently looks like:

* Queer Soup
* Doctors Without Borders
* Boston Area Rape Crisis Center (BARCC)
* First Book
* Heifer International

I need to check my bank account and figure out how much I can afford to donate.

(In lighter news, if anyone wants to come up with a reason we could invent for me to travel using FormerUnitHead's remaining research budget funds? :) )

Yeah, I was thinking about that last night... I'm arguing that we're paying customers, that I paid $150 USD for this permanent account, etc.

But if I can give the same amount to an abuse survivor organisation or similarly worthy charity, then I've truly spoken with my paycheque.

I do remember you. Layna's friend. I think of you sometimes and miss you.

I haven't made my donations yet, and now I'm really interested to hear why you don't like BARCC. A local friend of mine who's a sexual assault survivor recommended it as a place to support, so I haven't done a lot of research into it myself.

Hello

I found your journal through googling BARCC livejournal since I wanted to learn more about BARCC.

Regardless I'm enjoying reading your livejournal. We have a few things in common. I used to go to Smith as well, but I transferred. And I'm now living in Somerville though temporarily.

I don't use my livejournal anymore, but if you add me I'll keep reading yours


Take care,

Erin

Hey.

I'm really curious to hear why its the worst place ever, because I just got an internship there. I haven't started yet.. What should I be watching out for? What was your experience?
