[Zero]

i hate to be a party-pooper (and i'm sure people will either ignore or shit all over me for this) -----

but, in the grand scheme of things we are all living in a world of unearned privileges where a huge number of people are living without the most basic things like clean water, food, shelter, etc. as for me, i've decided to not give gifts for christmas and instead give donations in people's names to hiefer international (they provide livestock to impoverished people) - this will do two things: 1) piss of my spoiled brat nieces and nephews; and 2) make someone in the world suffer just a little less.

i can't change the world in one easy step, but if i can reduce suffering somewhere even just a little bit then i'm ready to do it.
