This is your yearly reminder that for many people it is entirely possible to donate some percentage of their income - perhaps just 1% or perhaps even 10% - to good causes without changing much in their lifestyle. And if donated wisely, this can make a big positive difference in the lives of many people or animals, or help prevent some very bad things from happening. It's true that it won't solve any systemic issues and it won't release you from your duty to vote and advocate and protest and protect and build communities. All these things still need to happen, and they're important. But donating might help to make you feel like you're part of the solution rather than the problem. Anyway, that's what I've been doing for the past eight years and what I will continue to do. I promise I'll try to shut up about it again until next year.
