I got my very first paycheck from my new program, yay! It's a reasonable amount bigger than my old paychecks. I figure that since I spent the last 2.5 years living on my old paychecks, I can go another month. So here's the deal: I'm donating the extra this month to various charities. If you have a charity you're particularly fond of, please rec ( Read more... )

Researching childhood cancers sounds like a very cunning plan.

I hope you like Blackadder or I sound like an idiot right now.

Hmm. I am not familiar with Blackadder, so I'm afraid this is a bit awkward.

One of the main characters is named Baldrick and has the catchphrase "I have a cunning plan" although all of his plans are incredibly asinine. I was previously unaware that there even was a St. Baldrick tbh.

Oh, this is where the headdesk gif is from! Maybe I need to watch this show.

And I didn't either, until the bf went and shaved his head and started raising money.

ReRun Inc. is a 501(c)(3) non-profit Thoroughbred adoption program whose mission is to help ex-racehorses find a second career. Horses accepted into the program are evaluated, rested and rehabilitated as needed. The Thoroughbreds are then placed with qualified adopters to begin their chance at a second career

Thank you for actually being helpful to my quest lol

I was looking to donate to at least one animal charity (and will probably donate to the local humane society), but I think this will be a great addition.

I donate through www.donorschoose.org It's a site that lets teachers post funding requests for classroom projects. It's cool because you can search for projects to fund through a variety of criteria: if it's an urban or rural school, the subject matter of the project, if it's a school in your area, if the project is urgent or not. I always feel warm and fuzzy when I get a note from a teacher saying I helped contribute to kids learning.
