lmao at me coming back to have a chill time on Bluesky only to hammer out a “nEwSFlAsh: yoU’re WRONG!!” thread the next day
newsflash for the “I never round up for charity because corporations just want credit for my donation” crowd:

you are still saying “no” to donating to a nonprofit. which is fine, you don’t have to donate to every single cause in front of you, but maybe don’t be so smug about it?

I had too for a while, and it makes sense! totally reasonable to call these campaigns out as lazy PR stunts that cost companies nothing when they could easily cut a check themselves. but I’ve seen the money come through, so if you believe it’s a worthwhile cause, I think it’s worth rounding up!
good thread, i had hardened my heart towards this thinking it was just one of those traps of late capitalism, but it’s cool to know there’s more to it and these corporations are maybe actually helping someone somewhere
