    The way I look at it is, you spend a lot of time curating and posting pretty amazing content to the community which is directly on-point and a perfect example of the excellentness of Lemmy, so. You should get it. Because afaik that’s the goal of the fun competition. Not to “out-cause” anyone.

    That said, if not, or even if so, everyone visiting here should note the rescue groups mentioned in the posts here, and if one strikes your fancy for being local or particularly awesome, to search them up and click that donate button!

    And whichever group you decide to go with in the event of a win, it’s all good by me. And if not, well that’s what we have now and that’s already pretty awesome.

      I appreciate that! I just worry about letting you guys down somehow. I try to treat my role here mostly seriously, and it makes me have a sense of responsibility to you all for giving me an audience.

      Most of the causes probably deserve full funding. It’s a shame many of the gaps our societies leave for people and the planet to fall through. It always blows my mind that I haven’t found any place yet that funds wildlife rehabbing. It feels a majority of people anywhere enjoy that animals exist, and much of their modern day harm comes as a result of humans, but we won’t as a collective take responsibility for it and leave it to charity. 😔
