Joy

[thefourthvine]

It's More Joy Day! And you all bring me more joy than I could possibly describe or repay; I'm like a giant joy sponge in fandom, really. Except, wow - "giant joy sponge" sounds like a seriously unfortunate euphemism from an even worse story ("His lover caressed his pendulous spheroids, and his giant joy sponge swelled impossibly"), and I apologize for that, but you get my point. I hope.

Anyway. Today, I'd like to borrow an idea from fan_eunice and give to the causes that bring you joy, or that you think are important. I'll donate ten dollars to the first fifteen charities someone links to in the comments. And if we hit that number, feel free to keep on commenting with links and descriptions; I'd really love to know what causes all of you support. (And it will be useful for, um, later.)

Um, it won't let me donate - the donate link on their page wraps back to the how you can help page. Would you like to pick another charity?

Huh, it works for me -- maybe you have to be in Canada or something? Ah well.

What about this?

It's a very cool community centre for inner city kids in Winnipeg -- another project that brings me joy. :)

Possibly you do have to be in Canada. But I have donated to Art City, so thank you! (And, wow - very cool to donate on a site that automatically assumes I'm in Canada.)
