Coming up to Christmas I generally make some small donations. Some of these I ask for as Christmas gifts because I'm old and basically have very basic wants and needs so I'm hard to buy for.

Curious to hear if / what others do.

I've expanded my annual list to include:

  • Wikipedia
  • Lemmy.world (my home instance)
  • Mozilla (I'm not happy with how they spend their money necessarily but I'm very thankful to have Firefox)
  • Signal messenger
  • A few Ukrainian things (u24.gov.ua is the official site if this is your thing but there's a great lady on Reddit I give to occasionally too)
  • The guardian (I read so many articles from there linked on here that I feel like I should and I really appreciate the lack of paywall and easy cookie rejection but never use the site logged in)

I’m a tech guy but also vegan and hate that I probably don’t do much for animals so:

  • Direct Action Everywhere
  • Sea Shepherd

I like them because both kind of kick ass at what they do.

I’d like to donate to the Humane Society but the local one is drowning in cash so I’d rather find one somewhere in the sticks (my hometown?) and donate to them.
