RationalWiki's 2019 Fundraiser

There is no RationalWiki without you. We are a small non-profit with no staff – we are hundreds of volunteers who document pseudoscience and crankery around the world every day. We will never allow ads because we must remain independent. We cannot rely on big donors with corresponding big agendas. We are not the largest website around, but we believe we play an important role in defending truth and objectivity.

If everyone who saw this today donated $5, we would meet our goal for 2019.

Fighting pseudoscience isn't free.
We are 100% user-supported! Help and donate $5, $20 or whatever you can today with PayPal Logo.png!

Donations so far: $3220Goal: $6000

Hey, you know that thing where argumentative people visit you at Christmas/New Year?

Yes, we've been over this baconphobia of yours. But I would agree not to eat, at the very least, bacon, while ill. Unless it's one of those illnesses where you should eat more.

You have quite an varied musical taste. Got any other suggestions?

Despite all evidence to the contrary (and believe me, there is more every day), I am actually alive! And I have the ability to talk to people!

On your advice (OK, not really advice, but I chose to take it as advice for some reason), I listened to some of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, and it's actually very nice. It reminds me of this, which is a thing I like.

I tried to think of something really amazing to suggest, ignoring the obvious fact that I cannot do anything, but I couldn't think of anything I like which seemed like anyone else would like it (this is probably related to the fact that I cannot do anything). So now I'm just linking you to the last couple of songs I have been obsessed with.

Yeah yeah. Yeah yeah yeah yeah.

Also, apparently there was some kind of accident with Time, since you're in January and I'm all the way over here in February. We apologise for the inconvenience.

Oh, Pink, I am far more grossly inadequate in such conversation as this. You see? I can't even grammar right. WaitingforGodot thought I was a non-native English speaker. And there was that emaily thing at which I completely failed. Heavens truly to Betsy, Pink. Heavens to Betsy.

On account of me being in an inappropriate situation to play music, especially the good music you share, I must wait to respond in kind. But make no mistake: expect it.

You don't seem that inadequate from where I'm standing. :) Although I do agree with the phrase "Heavens truly to Betsy", just because its generally awesome, regardless of the specific meaning, and I now intend to steal it when your attention is diverted.

And if you're going to listen later (which is definitely a good idea. Seriously), I am going to take the opportunity to choose a better version of the first link. Fear my comment editing powerz.
