Pixels fishing: the best part of my day

Nov 02, 2010 18:42

I am having a Not Good Day--not quite a Bad Day, but definitely Not Good--for no particular reason at all. I've spent the entire day feeling aimlessly pitiful and wanting to cry. Mostly, I stare at an open Word document for several minutes at a stretch, then check on my Godfinger All-Stars phone app.

"I've done the research and I'm here to tell you that there are far more sources of funding available to starving children in Africa than there are to fan-oriented websites."

Oh god they didn't.

Well, they apparently quietly revised that to "traditional charities," but YEAH.

I just want to yell, because I'm on the board of a non-profit, and my brother's group has an idea in the running for the Pepsi Refresh grant. Charities have more sources of funding BECAUSE THEY HELP PEOPLE.

Sorry, fanfic archieves are not going to feed hungry families, teach children, or help domestic abuse survivors. And those sorts of groups - they're struggling. I can tell you that from my time spent at the YWCA Canada national meeting, a lot of traditional routes for funding have been cut off.

If they win a grant I will need to punch things.

"I will need to punch things."
You could send a complaint to Pepsi Corp about the true nature of the this applicant. Or publicity Google bomb them to death.

if they are supposed to be the "traditional charities"

Well, they were saying that there were more resources for "traditional charities" as opposed to fanfic websites.

How do they even begin to think that A.) They deserve more money than a charity to fight world hunger and B.) That people would...like...agree.
