rfa. no. 1

Last fiscal year, I inadvertently gave something approaching 10% of my income to charity. (This is probably only a slight exaggeration.) And that's all well and good, except that I was a grad student living far below the poverty line (not much has changed). Finally accepting that making donations with my credit card is a bad practice, I am on a philanthropic hiatus until further notice. (Ok, I still have one automatic monthly donation that I need to cancel... soon...) To make up for what I'm missing, I'll use my blog (hopefully sparingly) to make some specific requests for action. This one is a forwarded request from PostSecret. My appeal, this time, is short and sweet.

To those of us who understand and to those who, thankfully, never will:

Donate to 1-800-SUICIDE.

This is great and all, but I swear, the one time I called I got an answering machine.
