I'm running a fundraiser for the Election Protection Hotline, 1-866-OUR-VOTE. No matter your position on the 2024 US election, I'm guessing you want the votes counted fairly. So I'm trying to raise USD $25,000 for Election Protection.

Not a US resident or US citizen? Hate all the major parties? No problem! You'd be donating to The Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights Under Law, a nonpartisan US nonprofit founded in 1963, which houses the Election Protection Coalition. Anyone, anywhere in the world, can donate.

Then, on Saturday Oct. 26th, expect 8 minutes of nerd jokes about open source software and how programming skews your brain, and none about politics. (Only 8 minutes because that's as long as a stand-up meeting should be.)

Please donate, and spread the word!

MetaFilter fundraiser auction

One of my online homes, MetaFilter, is going through a transformation to be more member-governed. It's running a fundraiser. Here's a summary of why MetaFilter's so wonderful and worth sustaining. One way to donate is to bid in the auction, and one thing you can bid on is for me to post scifi/fantasy recommendations!

I'm offering to write MetaFilter posts recommending short speculative fiction stories (all by or about BIPOC people):
  1. Fun, comforting, warm, or fluffy stories
  2. Stories published this year, eligible for awards nominations
  3. Stories by authors whom I adore and recommend at the slightest provocation
And there are a bunch of other gifts and services available - check it out! Bidding closes on Sunday the 13th.
