Six days in, we've crossed the $2,000 barrier—which is beyond anything we'd expected.

As evidence of our excitement, we've debuted a new page on our blog, so we don't send you to a random Google Form link.

Want to help feed people? You've got 8 days left to pledge:
nosubsplease.org/1st-annual-n...
A daily report of the NSP fundraiser for November 17, which is 8 days before the stream: 21 organizations in 13 states (Alabama, Florida, Illinois, Michigan, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, North Dakota, Rhode Island, Texas, Tennessee and Washington) and one territory (Puerto Rico) are pledged, up to a potential maximum of $2,010, calculated by multiplying 66 possible correct answers by the average of the two contestants' pledges per right answer. Louisa's lead holds strong: she's at $34 per right answer, while Noah lags behind at $27. In very translucent text, on the back, you can see the list of organizations that have received pledges: American Indian Center of Chicago, City Harvest, El Comedor de la Kennedy, Denton Community Food Center, Feeding America, Food Bank of North Alabama, Food Bank of South Jersey, Food Bank of the Southern Tier, Foodlink Rochester, Forgotten Harvest, Greater Chicago Food Depository, Houston Food Bank, Irondequoit Community Cupboard, North Texas Food Bank, Northlands Rescue Mission, Pike Market Food Bank, Rhode Island Community Food Bank, Second Harvest Food Bank of Central Florida, Second Harvest Food Bank of Nashville, Southside Community Garden of Asheville, and the INN.

Day 5:
I'm sure there are English words that express my gratitude, but it's late, I'm tired, and I don't have them just now.

This is wonderful—but we'd have to get all 66 questions right for that, and I want to get food banks as much money as possible.

So help me do that!

Day 4: I know I speak for my co-host when I say we are blown away by the incredible generosity our donors have shown.

I do *not,* however, speak for her when I say that I would really like to catch up to her lead!

Help me get a little closer, won't you? Pledge here:

Three days in, thanks to your astonishing generosity, we've crossed the four-digit barrier for our potential max.

But I let Louisa have her favorite color on the report, and this is how she pays me back. So y'all have 11 days to help me! Pledge for your local food bank!

You know, I expected to see a bit of a jump in Day 2.

I did not expect to see this. Our potential max is up to nearly $700, before matching!

So why not join us? Just twelve days until Louisa and I go head-to-head to raise money for local food banks across the US:

A daily report of the NSP fundraiser for November 13, which is twelve days left until the stream: 8 organizations in 6 states (Alabama, Florida, Illinois, New York, Rhode Island and Texas) are pledged, up to a potential maximum of $693, calculated by multiplying 66 possible correct answers by the average of the two contestants' pledges per right answer. Noah currently has a razor-thin lead on Louisa: every right answer from him will earn $11, while Louisa earns $10 for each right answer.

The frame of Bill Wurtz’s History of Japan where Commodore Matthew Perry is saying “open the country. Stop having it be closed,” but I changed it to “open the gates of hell. Stop having them be closed,” because that’s where Dick Cheney is for sure going.

I wore your colors to work, @bluejays.com. Don’t disappoint me tonight.
Noah, a Hispanic man with dark brown hair, eyebrows, and beard, is wearing a red mask and necktie over a powder blue shirt and navy sweater vest. Noah is wearing navy pants with black shoes; peeking in between them are red socks with an argyle pattern of navy and light blue, with white printed “thread.”

new most niche meme I’ve ever made:
It’s the “awww, you’re sweet / hello Human Resources” meme, where the handsome guy in a suit is “Jo Nesbø writing what is clearly just a Wikipedia binge for three pages” and the guy with glasses and a gut is “Jussi Adler-Olsen dropping the most random infodump of all time 80% of the way through the novel.”

On a dusty pink pillow (that’s the color, the pillow is clean, shut up), my cat Minerva—an adorable dilute tortie, gray with latte swirls around her left eye, down her chest and stomach, and circling her paws—purrs contentedly, her eyes closed, as I scritch her furry tummy.

Finally got around to reading @dirtbagqueer.rocks’s Bills profile for Why Your Team Sucks, and on top of the article being excellent (if you’re the only other person who hasn’t read it, you should), there’s the fact that it has the only comment across all 32 profiles that made me laugh out loud.
When Josh Allen makes a good play and Sean McDermott is on the sidelines clapping and yelling "ATTA BOY" you have to understand that this is the highest praise Sean McDermott can give (comparing someone to Mohammad Atta)
