All you employed people:
Bonuses just arrived at work, at least where I work. Whether you’re working at a large company, or with a small firm or self-employed, whether you’re Republican, Democrat, Green, or hell, even Communist, whatever you are, take a moment to think about your life, about where you are, and how events have shaped your life.
Still with me? Not bored sick? Good, now take another moment and think about what charities you might be willing to help:
The ACLU? (only the ACLU Foundation itself is an entity that can accept tax-deductable contributions, not to be confused with the "card carrying" ACLU, read this to learn the distinction) Both are good institutions, although definitely not nearly as helpful as the other institutions listed here.
Doctors without Borders? (Nobel Prize winners 1999, and a charity who actually uses the money you send it to help people)
Carnegie Mellon University. Yes, they took my money. Yes, it was expensive. Yes it was a shitload of work. Was it worth it? Yes. Now shut up and pay up, unless you had absolutely NO loans/grants helping with your tuition. Tax deductable too.
Don’t like these? Hit up Charity Navigator and find a reputable one to give to. Honestly, is another $50 really going to make that much of a difference in your life? Depending which charity you give to, someone else could greatly benefit from it. At very least, consider the option.
No animals were harmed in this hopefully guilt trip inducing post. Especially the platypus. Its had a rough time anyways. I mean come on, they ripped it in the movie Dogma:
"Even God has a sense of humor… just look at the platypus."
