God blessed me by making me transsexual for the same reason God made wheat but not bread and fruit but not wine, so that humanity might share in the act of creation

Quote
"Am I going to be dragged into this new nobility, or can I merely sit back and observe?" "I was not speaking to you, woman," David said. "I was addressing my hangover, who is a vigorous young squire of twenty-seven, with a wife and several children besides. Currently he is playing a game of horseshoes with ship anchors just underneath my skin, and cannot be disturbed. Also, you are lying down, and your eyes are closed, which would make observing anything a challenge, even for you." "Are we going to be introduced?" Alison asked. "I don't think I would like you two to meet," he said.
Daniel Ortberg, “The Wedding Party,” “The Merry Spinster”

Hi, I love your book recommendations; both the monthly ones you do and the ones you do requested by your followers. I was wondering if you could give some overly specific book recs or a favorites list or something like that. I love your works!!!
Thank you :)For general reference or possible interest, I have a goodreads account here. 
It includes what I’m reading/have read, with my various ratings of nope to this amazing out of five stars.It’s probably the best place to look for my complete archive of book recommendations from the last three years.
 Assume anything five stars is an absolute recommendation, though I also have a specifics favourites shelf on there, along with various categories like ‘noteworthy villains’, ‘LGBTQA’ and ‘fairytale-feeling’ which about covers the trifecta of my obsessions muhaha although I have other shelves too.
My new favourite writer since I last posted about books on this account is Sally Rooney, who has written ‘Normal People’ and ‘Conversations with Friends’. Oh wow. It’s not my usual and yet somehow I’m addicted. Her writing style makes my jaw drop.
As for a random overly specific list...this is the list of “top books that I really want to read but need to actually buy because the library is breaking my heart and is not in a position to order them for me for once...”
Fist of the Spider Woman: Tales of Fear and Queer Desire by Amber Dawn
Of Fire and Stars by Audrey Coulthurst
Coils by Barbara Anne Wright
Beauty and Cruelty by Meredith Katz
The Merry Spinster: Tales of Everyday Horror by Mallory Ortberg
A Cathedral of Myth and Bone by Kat Howard
And this is list 2: Books recommended to me by my gothic double
Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy
The Lonely City: Adventures in the art of being alone by Olivia Laing
The Bone Clocks by David Mitchell
Girl Meets Boy by Ali Smith
Mrs Dalloway by Virginia Woolf

Texts from Jane Eyre by Daniel Mallory Ortberg is an incredibly witty look at what some of our favourite literary characters would say if they had access to phones and could text. ✨📱✨📱✨ Spilt into four parts, this book covers a wide range and variety of cast and characters. From real people like Plato, René Descartes and Henry David Thoreau to authors including Edgar Allan Poe, Agatha Christie and William Wordsworth, and from literary classics like Great Expectations, Pride and Prejudice and The Great Gatsby to more popular reads like Harry Potter, Nancy Drew and the Hunger Games, each chapter is an absolute joy to read. Well thought out and extremely clever, I loved every single page this book had to offer! Something I think all bookworms would love, and should read immediately. ✨📱✨📱✨ Texts from Jane Eyre is book 23 for 2021. #bookstragram #books #booksofinstagram #booklover #bookphoto #reading #aussieswhoread #avidreader #bookwhore #aussiereader #bookdragon #reader #readersofig #booksofig #bookcommunity #bookish #bibliophile #readersofinstagram #bookstagrammer #booklife #bookaddict #girlswhoread #readinggoals2021 #auskiwibooksta #textsfromjaneeyre #danielmalloryortberg #booksaboutbooks #retellings #humour #shortstories https://www.instagram.com/p/CNUu25Frneh/?igshid=gj677ry4f3z0

Timely Sexiest Man Alive Jokes
I miss The Toast. When all the jokes about Blake Shelton started going around, I thought back to Mallory Ortberg’s previous efforts to turn People’s Sexiest Man Alive awards into a YA horror-thriller series, and was sad to think that we probably wouldn’t get to see her take on Shelton’s crowning. I was blessedly wrong. Enjoy this excerpt.
"You shrink from me," Gwen said placidly, "even now you lean away from my presence. You would run, if you thought you could." She tapped the mask that covered her face. "I wear this for you, that you might never have to look upon the evidence of my love for you. That you might be protected from the consequences of what you asked of me, from the proof that my love is stronger than yours. Because it shames you, that I carved the beauty from my face, that I might add it to your own. Because it frightens you that I did not flinch from it, that I did not stay my own hand." "I am not afraid of you," Blake said. "How like you," Gwen said, gesturing toward the fire and snuffing it abruptly out, "to try to lie to me, even now. May we get back to the topic at hand?" "Yes," said Blake, briefly squeezing his eyes shut until he saw stars. "You were saying –" "I was saying," Gwen continued, laying her hand gently upon his, "that there is talk." "Tell me what to do, then," Blake said, "and let us do it." He had said yes to everything the day he agreed to hold the bowl and catch her blood as she carved off her face for him. Before him – for the rest of his life – he saw nothing but yes in every direction. He did not shiver, although the room had grown cold.
Treat yourself and read the saga so far starring Adam Levine, Chris Hemsworth and David Beckham, then check out her wonderful newsletter/blog, The Shatner Chatner. It’s wonderful, in spite of her baffling love of William Shatner and equally baffling hatred for Tom Hiddleston.

• A woman gave my dad $400 so we could get an apartment. We were living in a park. That’s how we got started: Four hundred bucks, and look at me. When I donate a computer to a school, I never know what’s going to come out of it. – Gilbert Arenas • Americans are known for their strength, fortitude, and generosity in times of need. We encourage people in the U.S. and everywhere to give with their hearts, reach out to these victims, and donate what they can to the relief efforts. – Michael Dell • And when those bombs went off, there were runners who, after finishing a marathon, kept running for another two miles to the hospital to donate blood. So, here’s what I know – these maniacs may have tried to make life bad for the people of Boston, but all they can ever do, is show just how good those people are. – Stephen Colbert
jQuery(document).ready(function($) var data = action: 'polyxgo_products_search', type: 'Product', keywords: 'Donate', orderby: 'rand', order: 'DESC', template: '1', limit: '68', columns: '4', viewall:'Shop All', ; jQuery.post(spyr_params.ajaxurl,data, function(response) var obj = jQuery.parseJSON(response); jQuery('#thelovesof_donate').html(obj); jQuery('#thelovesof_donate img.swiper-lazy:not(.swiper-lazy-loaded)' ).each(function () var img = jQuery(this); img.attr("src",img.data('src')); img.addClass( 'swiper-lazy-loaded' ); img.removeAttr('data-src'); ); ); ); • Being willing to donate the taxpayers’ money is not the same as being willing to put your own money where your mouth is. – Thomas Sowell • Big Data allows us to see patterns we have never seen before. This will clearly show us interdependence and connections that will lead to a new way of looking at everything. It will let us see the ‘real-time’ cause and effect of our actions. What we buy, eat, donate, and throw away will be visual in a real-time map to see the ripple effect of our actions. That could only lead to mores-conscious behavior. – Tiffany Shlain • Do you know what the actual percentage of money the Clinton Foundation has raised that they donate so far to charity is? It’s like 5%. Five percent of what they have collected they have donated – and of course, nobody reports that, either. – Rush Limbaugh • Donate and do not talk about it, they say you do nothing for the society; do and talk about it, they say you seek publicity! – Amitabh Bachchan • Donate time, food, or money to organizations that fight the good fight. We can act individually for the collective good. We can all do something. – Joy Bryant • Donate to the extent that you don’t have food for yourself after feeding the needy. – Sivaji Ganesan • Don’t spend two dollars to dry clean a shirt. Donate it to the Salvation Army instead. They’ll clean it and put it on a hanger. Next morning buy it back for seventy-five cents. – Billiam Coronel • Flint is a city of a hundred thousand that was having a rough go of it even before its water was poisoned by lead. And when the water crisis finally grabbed national headlines this winter, the Democratic presidential candidates noticed. Hillary Clinton sent senior staff to investigate and asked her supporters to donate to a fund for Flint’s kids. Bernie Sanders called on Michigan’s Republican governor, Rick Snyder, to resign. – Tamara Keith • For people who don’t know, the fundraiser works like this: people donate to Worldbuilders and they’re automatically entered to win geeky swag in the lottery. We’re just starting week two and we’re already giving away more than $40,000 of books and games. – Patrick Rothfuss • Frazier is so ugly that he should donate his face to the US Bureau of Wild Life. – Muhammad Ali • Go into business, sell a product, sell a service, you’re automatically a suspect to people like Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton – unless you donate to them, and then you become their closest friends, and then we get cronyism. – Rush Limbaugh • He whipped the chair around and actually split one of the things in half with the impact, spilling the spray of blood that was reflective, like mercury. John bellowed, “Anyone else want to donate blood to chair-ity?” He ducked into the the door and bashed one monster right in the wig, screaming, “There’s some dessert! With a chair-y on top! – David Wong • Hey Everyone! Parts of the US are getting hit really hard and need our help. Reach Out Worldwide is proud to announce that we’ve sent out a team and are already on the ground helping out. Please help us make a bigger impact by donating to this cause at http:// donate.ROWW.org/ arkansasrelief . Our thoughts are with all of the people in this devastated region. Thank you! – Cody Walker • How come you like Josh so much anyway? All he does is sit around drinking overpriced coffee and bitching about how awful things are” “He cares about the world.” “If he cared about the world, he’d donate the ten thousand dollars he must spend on coffee every year to charity. That would be doing something. – Elizabeth Scott • I am happy to donate funds to various organizations that help people in need. – Carl Karcher • I do a fair bit for children’s charities. The big ones I support in Liverpool are Zoe’s Place Baby Hospice, and Claire House Children’s Hospice. I donate money and time but the time is what they value the most. If my inclusion at any event they’re doing, helps them to raise more money, then of course I’ll be there. – Robbie Fowler • I do not think it is selfish to want to donate a kidney “only” to family members. – Mallory Ortberg • I donate heavily to the church and various churches in the Detroit community and food banks. – Aretha Franklin • I donate lots to charity. I don’t necessarily tell everybody the number or what I do. – Lindsay Davenport • I donate money to the existing foundation that funds the US Ski Team kids. – Picabo Street • I have a healthy respect for those individuals and the businesses that they represent. Their involvement only solidifies my belief that the United Way is a worthy organization to donate my time and efforts to. – Bill Vaughan • I owe my life to blood donors. I’m forever grateful to people who donate. – Niki Taylor • I think I actually made a very kind gesture out of nowhere; I decided in the middle of that match that for every ace I hit I want to donate money. I just think people should honestly look at themselves before they judge another person. I’ve never been spoiled. I want a Range Rover very bad, but I refuse to spend the money to buy a Range…The diamonds are borrowed. I won’t buy them because I’m too cheap. – Serena Williams • I think you should automatically donate your organs because that would turn the balance of organ donation in a huge way. I would donate whatever anybody would take, and I’d probably do the cremation bit. – George Clooney • I used to get taxed on my allowance. Yeah, I’ve been taxed since I was a little kid. And at the end of the year I had to pick a charity to donate my taxes to. – Lauren Conrad • I went to a pizzeria. The guy gave me the smallest slice possible. If the pizza was a pie chart with what would you do if you found a million dollars, he gave me the “Donate it to charity” slice. “I’d like to exchange this for the ‘Keep it!'” – Mitch Hedberg • I wondered if it was possible to donate my body to science before I was actually dead. I wondered if a disease were to be named after me what the symptoms would be. – Miriam Toews • I work with a charity called Donate My Dress. It’s got chapters all over the country where you can donate special-occasion dresses. Prom is a big deal when you’re 15 years old, and it enables girls who don’t have the money to come in and choose something special. – Ashley Greene • I wouldn’t want to donate my body for scientific study. – Patricia Cornwell • I’ve had so much plastic surgery, when I die they will donate my body to Tupperware. – Joan Rivers • If it feels right to recycle our waste or purchase solar panels for our house or rescue an animal or adopt a child or stop someone from hurting another or donate our time, money, or goods to charity, then do it. – Bryan Kest • If I’ve learned anything in the more than 50 years that I’ve led MDA, it’s that the generosity of the American people knows no bounds. I’m sure that with their fellow citizens in such dire need, they’ll dig deep and do everything they can to help. I’m hopeful that many people will be willing to make two phone calls and donate to both causes. – Jerry Lewis • If someone does not have a specific charity they would like to donate to, that’s OK. An undesignated donation would be split up evenly amongst all the charities supported by the Annapolis Area Complex. – Derren Brown • If something is important enough to you that you feel the urge to donate your money or time to it, I think it’s best to try to express that form of giving through your career, not just as something you do on the side. If you enjoy your volunteering and charitable activities more than your career, it means your career is in serious need of an upgrade. In my opinion your career should be your best outlet for giving. – Steve Pavlina • If the money we donate helps one child or can ease the pain of one parent, those funds are well spent. – Carl Karcher • If you don’t donate to Obama and you’re a major corporation like Big Oil, then they’re gonna blame you for climate change, destroying the planet and they’re gonna get everybody turned against you and hating your guts and so forth, and that’s how they operate. That’s not how Trump operates. That’s not how Mike Pence operates. They understand the simple mathematics of economics. – Rush Limbaugh • If you take all the food aid, America is by far the most generous country. If you take the direct aid, we’re very generous. But when you add on our private contributions – see, our tax system encourages private citizens to donate to organisations that, for example, help the folks in Africa. And when you take the combined effort of US taxpayers’ money plus US citizens’ donations, we’re very generous. And we’ll do more. – George W. Bush • I’ll go through all of [12 steps for people who say are traumatized by the election], but a sample: Volunteer to fight Islamaphobia. Join the ACLU. Donate to Planned Parenthood. Take down sexism and misogyny. Sort of all the stations of the cross of liberalism. Sort of all the stations of the cross of liberalism. – Tucker Carlson • I’ll tell ya, my wife and I, we don’t think alike. She donates money to the homeless, and I donate money to the topless! – Rodney Dangerfield • I’m a good son, a good father, a good husband – I’ve been married to the same woman for 30 years. I’m a good friend. I finished college, I have my education, I donate money anonymously. So when people criticize the kind of characters that I play on screen, I go, ‘You know, that’s part of history.’ – Samuel L. Jackson • I’m blessed. I have a 13-year-old girl’s eye and a 14 year-old boy’s eye. I’ve been given the gift of sight by people who decided to donate organs. I try to do as much organ-donor work as I can. – Mandy Patinkin • Imagine, just for the sake of discussion, that you had a few hours a week and a few dollars a month to donate to a cause – and you wanted to spend that time and money where it would have the greatest impact in saving and improving lives. Where would you spend it? – Bill Gates • In Japan, it’s strange to openly take credit for giving to charity or even to donate publicly. – Robert Paul Weston • It is easier to donate a few thousand to charity and think oneself noble than to base self-respect on personal standards of personal achievement. – Ayn Rand • It is important to note that there are no age limitations on who can donate organs and tissue. Newborns as well as senior citizens have been organ donors. – Vic Snyder • It is worthwhile to engage in something that is close to one’s heart. I had a scholarship. So if I donate money to give brilliant Chinese students an opportunity to study abroad, then this embodies everything I believe in: education, globalization, social mobility. I am an example of social mobility. – Zhang Xin • It’s easy to run to others. It’s so hard to stand on one’s own record. You can fake virtue for an audience. You can’t fake it in your own eyes. Your ego is your strictest judge. They run from it. They spend their lives running. It’s easier to donate a few thousand to charity and think oneself noble than to base self-respect on personal standards of personal achievement. It’s simple to seek substitutes for competence–such easy substitutes: love, charm, kindness, charity. But there is no substitute for competence. – Ayn Rand • It’s one thing to donate money. It’s a whole other thing to give an opportunity for someone to make his own money. – Liya Kebede • Jesus, that ear. He should donate it to The Smithsonian. Brian Wilson, he made all his records with four tracks, but you couldn’t make his records if you had a hundred tracks today. – Bob Dylan • Joe Lieberman frightens me. Why should we, an Hollywood voter, donate money to a man who threatens our creative freedom, our freedom of expression. – Joe Eszterhas • Ladies, you may not realize this, understand this, or even believe this, but everything else we do is ultimately for you. Men don’t do anything-create art, build businesses, donate to charity, invent things, or do anything noteworthy-for any reason other than to impress women, and thus get them to have sex with us. If women didn’t exist, we’d still just be naked grunting apes living in caves. In a very real way, pussy is the key to human civilization. You don’t have to like it, but it’s a fact; if you understand it, you understand men. – Tucker Max • Less mess, less stress. That’s my rule! If you don’t stay on top of decluttering, it can get out of control. I maintain as much as possible. I’ll do seasonal edits and decide what we can toss or donate. If we don’t love it, need it or haven’t used it in the past year, it’s gone. – Molly Sims • Let Pascal say that man is a thinking reed. He is wrong; man is a thinking erratum. Each period in life is a new edition that corrects the preceding one and that in turn will be corrected by the next, until publication of the definitive edition, which the publisher donates to the worms. – Machado de Assis • Mark Zuckerberg recently announced that he will donate $45 billion of his wealth to philanthropy. Two years ago, my husband and I decided to endow $100 million to set up the SOHO China Scholars. This program will give financial aid to Chinese students so they can attend the best universities in the world. – Zhang Xin • Maybe instead of buying myself another Barbie, I could donate that to the Kmart Wishing Tree. – Hamish Blake • Mitt Romney has a new fundraising gimmick. If you donate $3 or more to his campaign, your name will be entered into a drawing to win a dinner with Mitt Romney and Donald Trump. If you donate more than $10, you get to sit at a different table. – Jay Leno • My mother always told me if I really didn’t wan to do something, if I was really tired, but if I had helped someone and I really went out of my way for them but I asked nothing for it, that I should donate my energy to the souls in purgatory-meaning that to give my goodness to those who are trapped. This is purgatory/limbo. This is a very Catholic thing that very few people really understand. – Peter Steele • No. But it’s like the argument `don’t donate to third-world countries because the money mightn’t get to them.’ People only say that because it makes them feel better about the fact that they do nothing. – Melina Marchetta • Of all the things that it is possible to donate, to donate your own body is infinitely more worthwhile. – William Jones • Okay, God, I thought. Get me out of this and I’ll stop my half-assed church-going ways. You got me past a pack of Strigoi tonight. I mean, trapping that one between the doors really shouldn’t have worked, so clearly you’re on board. Let me get out of here, and I’ll…I don’t know. Donate Adrian’s money to the poor. Get baptized. Join a convent. Well, no. Not that last one. – Richelle Mead • One ought not to encourage beggars, and yes, you are right, it is far better to donate to charities that address the causes of poverty rather than to him, a creature who is merely its symptom. – Mohsin Hamid • People are going to have a good time, you know. One can go have a good time at these big openings in museums. And people go to have a good time. But the thing has another purpose.In the case of museums, it’s always got to do with money, people who donate and things like that. And I believe a certain kind of interest has to be demonstrated. – Garry Winogrand • People get together and they donate to organizations so that a pile of money can be used to create a message that can be broadcast en masse as part of the a political campaign. They are the lifeblood of Hillary Clinton campaign, the banks and all these big time rich people from Hollywood and Silicon Valley are the mother’s milk of her campaign. They are the money. She just doesn’t want Donald Trump to have it or any other Republican to have it or any average citizen to be able to bundle his money with other people’s money and create an ad or a campaign. – Rush Limbaugh • People who identify themselves as conservatives donate money to charity more often than people who identify themselves as liberals. They donate more money and a higher percentage of their incomes. – Thomas Sowell • Perhaps we have failed as human beings. Perhaps we have embarrassed ourselves to the natural world. We have been rigorous and willful in all the wrong ways. But it doesn’t have to be this way. Maybe you don’t want to deal with (marching), the permanent marker and poster board. But try something else. Carry someone’s groceries. Chat with the custodian in your office building. Donate blood. Live in Rwanda for a year. Write letters to the Department of Buildings. Learn to knit. It is only going to get better from here on out. – Sufjan Stevens • Presumed consent preserves freedom of choice, but it is different from explicit consent because it shifts the default rule. Under this policy, all citizens would be presumed to be consenting donors, but they would have the opportunity to register their unwillingness to donate. – Cass Sunstein • Scott has to be one of the most talented artists I’ve ever seen. He really captures his subjects in a unique way. He is extremely generous as well. How many artists are willing to donate some of their best works to charity? The Texas Sports Hall of Fame has benefited greatly from Medlock’s donated paintings, which are the cornerstones of our auction! – Bob Lilly • Since time is the one immaterial object which we cannot influence – neither speed up nor slow down, add to nor diminish – it is an imponderably valuable gift. Each of us has a few minutes a day or a few hours a week which we could donate to an old folks home or a children’s hospital ward. The elderly whose pillows we plump or whose water pitchers we refill may or may not thank us for our gift, but the gift is upholding the foundation of the universe. – Maya Angelou • Sometimes when I’m swimming, I think that maybe someday I’ll put my red Speedo up for auction. Or maybe I’ll donate it to the Smithsonian. They can stuff it with two plums and a gherkin and put it on display. – David Duchovny • That is not true I am not a greedy man because if I was why would i donate money to charity?I care about others as well. – John D. Rockefeller • The Clinton Foundation does nothing but donate to charities.” They can’t find any evidence that what Schweizer has written about the Clintons and their foundation and the fund-raising and the getting paid for speeches is wrong. They can’t find anything where he’s wrong. The book has not been “discredited.” So [Donald] Trump delivers this massive speech. It hit home run after home run after home run. – Rush Limbaugh • The great thing is these days I no longer have to work for a living and that all of the things that I’m able to do where money is paid as compensation for whatever it be, I’m able to donate all of that to charity. That’s a wonderful position to find yourself in at the latest stages of your life and I’m proud to have walked the path that I have and I’m proud to be able to continue working and to be able to give away what I earn to some very good causes here in the Southwest. – Robin Leach • The ideal set-up would be the story man, the director, and the layout man, as well as musician, operating as a sort of story unit. They all should be keenly interested in the picture. No one in person should donate to an extent where he would keep the others from entering into the production and freely expressing themselves. – Walt Disney • The Oscars is the one night of the year when you can see all your favorite stars without having to donate any money to the Democratic Party – Jon Stewart • The Pacifica Network is a vital cornerstone of our independent media landscape that depends on your financial support. Please donate today to safeguard the future of listener-powered community radio. – Amy Goodman • The point is that no matter what you choose to do with your body when you die, it won’t, ultimately, be very appealing. If you are inclined to donate yourself to science, you should not let images of dissection or dismemberment put you off. They are no more or less gruesome, in my opinion, than ordinary decay or the sewing shut of your jaws via your nostrils for a funeral viewing. – Mary Roach • The shape I’m in, I could donate my body to science fiction. – Rodney Dangerfield • There are lots of issues more important than where billionaires donate their money. – Malcolm Gladwell • There can be no clearer indication of how undemocratic the way we finance campaigns is than the fact that only one-quarter of 1% donate $200 or more, and only one-tenth of 1% gives $1,000 or more. – Arianna Huffington • There could be a powerful international women’s rights movement if only philanthropists would donate as much to real women as to paintings and sculptures of women. – Nicholas D. Kristof • They are miserly, the princes of Austria, you need not grieve about it; they may not donate anything, but they allow themselves tobe fleeced, the good lords. – Franz Grillparzer • To be able to donate money to effect change is extremely exciting. I think I’m very determined and persistent. All the things that you need to deliver a successful business and I think these qualities will be useful in the campaign with the Animal Justice Fund. – Jan Cameron • To see change in your own area code is very powerful. There’s a little orphanage down the street from my company, and we donate $1 from the sale of each CD we sell to the orphanage. – Henry Rollins • Tom [Cargil]s suggestion with a further idea: Propsers of new [C++] features should be required to donate a kidney. That would – Jim [Waldo] pointed out – make people think hard before proposing, and even people without any sense would propose at most two extensions. – Bjarne Stroustrup • URGE is a grassroots charity. We organized to get some incubators to give to the hospital for the kids. We donate money to orphanages. – Ziggy Marley • We cannot wait for others to make a difference, we have to be the change ourselves. To be a part of the making of yet another cancer hospital is a blessing in itself.’ Watch me live on ARY Digital and donate to Shaukat Khanum Memorial Cancer Hospital and Research Centre in Peshawar as much as you can. – Hadiqa Kiani • We must “Bring Back Our Girls” and support Nigerians working every day to create change. Please donate now to support Nigerian organizations educating and standing up for girls – Malala Yousafzai • We’re raising our girls to understand the real meaning of Christmas, and to know that it’s most important to have Christmas in your heart. We go to our local mall and donate toys, and we say prayers for all the people in the world who might not be as lucky as we are. – Faith Hill • What took you so long?” Nash asked, as he slid into the passenger seat and pulled the door closed. “I stopped to donate all your underwear to the homeless. You’re gonna wanna take care of those tighty whities—they’re all you’ve got left.” He leaned against the door, either too tired or too drunk to sit up. “And to think, most people don’t understand your sense of humor.” “Fools, all of them. – Rachel Vincent • When Al Gore picked Joe Lieberman to be his running mate in the 2000 presidential campaign, Eszterhas wrote “Joe Lieberman frightens me. Why should we, an Hollywood voter, donate money to a man who threatens our creative freedom, our freedom of expression.” – David Shuster • When the Haiti earthquake happened, I registered with UNICEF to set up an account, and posted to Twitter for people to donate to it. In a matter of a couple of hours, $30,000 had been donated. That, to me, was eye-opening. – Misha Collins • Whenever I donate a hunting trip for the Children’s Leukemia Foundation, Ronald McDonald Cancer House, all these children’s charities, I offer the anti-hunters an opportunity: if you donate more to the children’s charity than the hunters donate we won’t go hunting. – Ted Nugent • You can give your Social Security check to any organization, public or private, or to individuals. You can donate it to your favorite political party. You can give the funds to a student scholarship – for your grandchildren, for example – or to somebody who has a medical need. Or you can invest your government check in free enterprise. – Mark Skousen • You don’t have to donate money, it can be clothes, or books, or mediavl supplies. So there’s so much that can be done [for refugees], the most difficult thing is that first step that decision to do something. – Khaled Hosseini • You may have heard of Black Friday and Cyber Monday. There’s another day you might want to know about: Giving Tuesday. The idea is pretty straightforward. On the Tuesday after Thanksgiving, shoppers take a break from their gift-buying and donate what they can to charity. – Bill Gates

• A woman gave my dad $400 so we could get an apartment. We were living in a park. That’s how we got started: Four hundred bucks, and look at me. When I donate a computer to a school, I never know what’s going to come out of it. – Gilbert Arenas • Americans are known for their strength, fortitude, and generosity in times of need. We encourage people in the U.S. and everywhere to give with their hearts, reach out to these victims, and donate what they can to the relief efforts. – Michael Dell • And when those bombs went off, there were runners who, after finishing a marathon, kept running for another two miles to the hospital to donate blood. So, here’s what I know – these maniacs may have tried to make life bad for the people of Boston, but all they can ever do, is show just how good those people are. – Stephen Colbert

This will clearly show us interdependence and connections that will lead to a new way of looking at everything. It will let us see the ‘real-time’ cause and effect of our actions. What we buy, eat, donate, and throw away will be visual in a real-time map to see the ripple effect of our actions. That could only lead to mores-conscious behavior. – Tiffany Shlain • Do you know what the actual percentage of money the Clinton Foundation has raised that they donate so far to charity is? It’s like 5%. Five percent of what they have collected they have donated – and of course, nobody reports that, either. – Rush Limbaugh • Donate and do not talk about it, they say you do nothing for the society; do and talk about it, they say you seek publicity! – Amitabh Bachchan • Donate time, food, or money to organizations that fight the good fight. We can act individually for the collective good. We can all do something. – Joy Bryant • Donate to the extent that you don’t have food for yourself after feeding the needy. – Sivaji Ganesan • Don’t spend two dollars to dry clean a shirt. Donate it to the Salvation Army instead. They’ll clean it and put it on a hanger. Next morning buy it back for seventy-five cents. – Billiam Coronel • Flint is a city of a hundred thousand that was having a rough go of it even before its water was poisoned by lead. And when the water crisis finally grabbed national headlines this winter, the Democratic presidential candidates noticed. Hillary Clinton sent senior staff to investigate and asked her supporters to donate to a fund for Flint’s kids. Bernie Sanders called on Michigan’s Republican governor, Rick Snyder, to resign. – Tamara Keith • For people who don’t know, the fundraiser works like this: people donate to Worldbuilders and they’re automatically entered to win geeky swag in the lottery. We’re just starting week two and we’re already giving away more than $40,000 of books and games. – Patrick Rothfuss • Frazier is so ugly that he should donate his face to the US Bureau of Wild Life. – Muhammad Ali • Go into business, sell a product, sell a service, you’re automatically a suspect to people like Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton – unless you donate to them, and then you become their closest friends, and then we get cronyism. – Rush Limbaugh • He whipped the chair around and actually split one of the things in half with the impact, spilling the spray of blood that was reflective, like mercury. John bellowed, “Anyone else want to donate blood to chair-ity?” He ducked into the the door and bashed one monster right in the wig, screaming, “There’s some dessert! With a chair-y on top! – David Wong • Hey Everyone! Parts of the US are getting hit really hard and need our help. Reach Out Worldwide is proud to announce that we’ve sent out a team and are already on the ground helping out. Please help us make a bigger impact by donating to this cause at http:// donate.ROWW.org/ arkansasrelief . Our thoughts are with all of the people in this devastated region. Thank you! – Cody Walker • How come you like Josh so much anyway? All he does is sit around drinking overpriced coffee and bitching about how awful things are” “He cares about the world.” “If he cared about the world, he’d donate the ten thousand dollars he must spend on coffee every year to charity. That would be doing something. – Elizabeth Scott • I am happy to donate funds to various organizations that help people in need. – Carl Karcher • I do a fair bit for children’s charities. The big ones I support in Liverpool are Zoe’s Place Baby Hospice, and Claire House Children’s Hospice. I donate money and time but the time is what they value the most. If my inclusion at any event they’re doing, helps them to raise more money, then of course I’ll be there. – Robbie Fowler • I do not think it is selfish to want to donate a kidney “only” to family members. – Mallory Ortberg • I donate heavily to the church and various churches in the Detroit community and food banks. – Aretha Franklin • I donate lots to charity. I don’t necessarily tell everybody the number or what I do. – Lindsay Davenport • I donate money to the existing foundation that funds the US Ski Team kids. – Picabo Street • I have a healthy respect for those individuals and the businesses that they represent. Their involvement only solidifies my belief that the United Way is a worthy organization to donate my time and efforts to. – Bill Vaughan • I owe my life to blood donors. I’m forever grateful to people who donate. – Niki Taylor • I think I actually made a very kind gesture out of nowhere; I decided in the middle of that match that for every ace I hit I want to donate money. I just think people should honestly look at themselves before they judge another person. I’ve never been spoiled. I want a Range Rover very bad, but I refuse to spend the money to buy a Range…The diamonds are borrowed. I won’t buy them because I’m too cheap. – Serena Williams • I think you should automatically donate your organs because that would turn the balance of organ donation in a huge way. I would donate whatever anybody would take, and I’d probably do the cremation bit. – George Clooney • I used to get taxed on my allowance. Yeah, I’ve been taxed since I was a little kid. And at the end of the year I had to pick a charity to donate my taxes to. – Lauren Conrad • I went to a pizzeria. The guy gave me the smallest slice possible. If the pizza was a pie chart with what would you do if you found a million dollars, he gave me the “Donate it to charity” slice. “I’d like to exchange this for the ‘Keep it!'” – Mitch Hedberg • I wondered if it was possible to donate my body to science before I was actually dead. I wondered if a disease were to be named after me what the symptoms would be. – Miriam Toews • I work with a charity called Donate My Dress. It’s got chapters all over the country where you can donate special-occasion dresses. Prom is a big deal when you’re 15 years old, and it enables girls who don’t have the money to come in and choose something special. – Ashley Greene • I wouldn’t want to donate my body for scientific study. – Patricia Cornwell • I’ve had so much plastic surgery, when I die they will donate my body to Tupperware. – Joan Rivers • If it feels right to recycle our waste or purchase solar panels for our house or rescue an animal or adopt a child or stop someone from hurting another or donate our time, money, or goods to charity, then do it. – Bryan Kest • If I’ve learned anything in the more than 50 years that I’ve led MDA, it’s that the generosity of the American people knows no bounds. I’m sure that with their fellow citizens in such dire need, they’ll dig deep and do everything they can to help. I’m hopeful that many people will be willing to make two phone calls and donate to both causes. – Jerry Lewis • If someone does not have a specific charity they would like to donate to, that’s OK. An undesignated donation would be split up evenly amongst all the charities supported by the Annapolis Area Complex. – Derren Brown • If something is important enough to you that you feel the urge to donate your money or time to it, I think it’s best to try to express that form of giving through your career, not just as something you do on the side. If you enjoy your volunteering and charitable activities more than your career, it means your career is in serious need of an upgrade. In my opinion your career should be your best outlet for giving. – Steve Pavlina • If the money we donate helps one child or can ease the pain of one parent, those funds are well spent. – Carl Karcher • If you don’t donate to Obama and you’re a major corporation like Big Oil, then they’re gonna blame you for climate change, destroying the planet and they’re gonna get everybody turned against you and hating your guts and so forth, and that’s how they operate. That’s not how Trump operates. That’s not how Mike Pence operates. They understand the simple mathematics of economics. – Rush Limbaugh • If you take all the food aid, America is by far the most generous country. If you take the direct aid, we’re very generous. But when you add on our private contributions – see, our tax system encourages private citizens to donate to organisations that, for example, help the folks in Africa. And when you take the combined effort of US taxpayers’ money plus US citizens’ donations, we’re very generous. And we’ll do more. – George W. Bush • I’ll go through all of [12 steps for people who say are traumatized by the election], but a sample: Volunteer to fight Islamaphobia. Join the ACLU. Donate to Planned Parenthood. Take down sexism and misogyny. Sort of all the stations of the cross of liberalism. Sort of all the stations of the cross of liberalism. – Tucker Carlson • I’ll tell ya, my wife and I, we don’t think alike. She donates money to the homeless, and I donate money to the topless! – Rodney Dangerfield • I’m a good son, a good father, a good husband – I’ve been married to the same woman for 30 years. I’m a good friend. I finished college, I have my education, I donate money anonymously. So when people criticize the kind of characters that I play on screen, I go, ‘You know, that’s part of history.’ – Samuel L. Jackson • I’m blessed. I have a 13-year-old girl’s eye and a 14 year-old boy’s eye. I’ve been given the gift of sight by people who decided to donate organs. I try to do as much organ-donor work as I can. – Mandy Patinkin • Imagine, just for the sake of discussion, that you had a few hours a week and a few dollars a month to donate to a cause – and you wanted to spend that time and money where it would have the greatest impact in saving and improving lives. Where would you spend it? – Bill Gates • In Japan, it’s strange to openly take credit for giving to charity or even to donate publicly. – Robert Paul Weston • It is easier to donate a few thousand to charity and think oneself noble than to base self-respect on personal standards of personal achievement. – Ayn Rand • It is important to note that there are no age limitations on who can donate organs and tissue. Newborns as well as senior citizens have been organ donors. – Vic Snyder • It is worthwhile to engage in something that is close to one’s heart. I had a scholarship. So if I donate money to give brilliant Chinese students an opportunity to study abroad, then this embodies everything I believe in: education, globalization, social mobility. I am an example of social mobility. – Zhang Xin • It’s easy to run to others. It’s so hard to stand on one’s own record. You can fake virtue for an audience. You can’t fake it in your own eyes. Your ego is your strictest judge. They run from it. They spend their lives running. It’s easier to donate a few thousand to charity and think oneself noble than to base self-respect on personal standards of personal achievement. It’s simple to seek substitutes for competence–such easy substitutes: love, charm, kindness, charity. But there is no substitute for competence. – Ayn Rand • It’s one thing to donate money. It’s a whole other thing to give an opportunity for someone to make his own money. – Liya Kebede • Jesus, that ear. He should donate it to The Smithsonian. Brian Wilson, he made all his records with four tracks, but you couldn’t make his records if you had a hundred tracks today. – Bob Dylan • Joe Lieberman frightens me. Why should we, an Hollywood voter, donate money to a man who threatens our creative freedom, our freedom of expression. – Joe Eszterhas • Ladies, you may not realize this, understand this, or even believe this, but everything else we do is ultimately for you. Men don’t do anything-create art, build businesses, donate to charity, invent things, or do anything noteworthy-for any reason other than to impress women, and thus get them to have sex with us. If women didn’t exist, we’d still just be naked grunting apes living in caves. In a very real way, pussy is the key to human civilization. You don’t have to like it, but it’s a fact; if you understand it, you understand men. – Tucker Max • Less mess, less stress. That’s my rule! If you don’t stay on top of decluttering, it can get out of control. I maintain as much as possible. I’ll do seasonal edits and decide what we can toss or donate. If we don’t love it, need it or haven’t used it in the past year, it’s gone. – Molly Sims • Let Pascal say that man is a thinking reed. He is wrong; man is a thinking erratum. Each period in life is a new edition that corrects the preceding one and that in turn will be corrected by the next, until publication of the definitive edition, which the publisher donates to the worms. – Machado de Assis • Mark Zuckerberg recently announced that he will donate $45 billion of his wealth to philanthropy. Two years ago, my husband and I decided to endow $100 million to set up the SOHO China Scholars. This program will give financial aid to Chinese students so they can attend the best universities in the world. – Zhang Xin • Maybe instead of buying myself another Barbie, I could donate that to the Kmart Wishing Tree. – Hamish Blake • Mitt Romney has a new fundraising gimmick. If you donate $3 or more to his campaign, your name will be entered into a drawing to win a dinner with Mitt Romney and Donald Trump. If you donate more than $10, you get to sit at a different table. – Jay Leno • My mother always told me if I really didn’t wan to do something, if I was really tired, but if I had helped someone and I really went out of my way for them but I asked nothing for it, that I should donate my energy to the souls in purgatory-meaning that to give my goodness to those who are trapped. This is purgatory/limbo. This is a very Catholic thing that very few people really understand. – Peter Steele • No. But it’s like the argument `don’t donate to third-world countries because the money mightn’t get to them.’ People only say that because it makes them feel better about the fact that they do nothing. – Melina Marchetta • Of all the things that it is possible to donate, to donate your own body is infinitely more worthwhile. – William Jones • Okay, God, I thought. Get me out of this and I’ll stop my half-assed church-going ways. You got me past a pack of Strigoi tonight. I mean, trapping that one between the doors really shouldn’t have worked, so clearly you’re on board. Let me get out of here, and I’ll…I don’t know. Donate Adrian’s money to the poor. Get baptized. Join a convent. Well, no. Not that last one. – Richelle Mead • One ought not to encourage beggars, and yes, you are right, it is far better to donate to charities that address the causes of poverty rather than to him, a creature who is merely its symptom. – Mohsin Hamid • People are going to have a good time, you know. One can go have a good time at these big openings in museums. And people go to have a good time. But the thing has another purpose.In the case of museums, it’s always got to do with money, people who donate and things like that. And I believe a certain kind of interest has to be demonstrated. – Garry Winogrand • People get together and they donate to organizations so that a pile of money can be used to create a message that can be broadcast en masse as part of the a political campaign. They are the lifeblood of Hillary Clinton campaign, the banks and all these big time rich people from Hollywood and Silicon Valley are the mother’s milk of her campaign. They are the money. She just doesn’t want Donald Trump to have it or any other Republican to have it or any average citizen to be able to bundle his money with other people’s money and create an ad or a campaign. – Rush Limbaugh • People who identify themselves as conservatives donate money to charity more often than people who identify themselves as liberals. They donate more money and a higher percentage of their incomes. – Thomas Sowell • Perhaps we have failed as human beings. Perhaps we have embarrassed ourselves to the natural world. We have been rigorous and willful in all the wrong ways. But it doesn’t have to be this way. Maybe you don’t want to deal with (marching), the permanent marker and poster board. But try something else. Carry someone’s groceries. Chat with the custodian in your office building. Donate blood. Live in Rwanda for a year. Write letters to the Department of Buildings. Learn to knit. It is only going to get better from here on out. – Sufjan Stevens • Presumed consent preserves freedom of choice, but it is different from explicit consent because it shifts the default rule. Under this policy, all citizens would be presumed to be consenting donors, but they would have the opportunity to register their unwillingness to donate. – Cass Sunstein • Scott has to be one of the most talented artists I’ve ever seen. He really captures his subjects in a unique way. He is extremely generous as well. How many artists are willing to donate some of their best works to charity? The Texas Sports Hall of Fame has benefited greatly from Medlock’s donated paintings, which are the cornerstones of our auction! – Bob Lilly • Since time is the one immaterial object which we cannot influence – neither speed up nor slow down, add to nor diminish – it is an imponderably valuable gift. Each of us has a few minutes a day or a few hours a week which we could donate to an old folks home or a children’s hospital ward. The elderly whose pillows we plump or whose water pitchers we refill may or may not thank us for our gift, but the gift is upholding the foundation of the universe. – Maya Angelou • Sometimes when I’m swimming, I think that maybe someday I’ll put my red Speedo up for auction. Or maybe I’ll donate it to the Smithsonian. They can stuff it with two plums and a gherkin and put it on display. – David Duchovny • That is not true I am not a greedy man because if I was why would i donate money to charity?I care about others as well. – John D. Rockefeller • The Clinton Foundation does nothing but donate to charities.” They can’t find any evidence that what Schweizer has written about the Clintons and their foundation and the fund-raising and the getting paid for speeches is wrong. They can’t find anything where he’s wrong. The book has not been “discredited.” So [Donald] Trump delivers this massive speech. It hit home run after home run after home run. – Rush Limbaugh • The great thing is these days I no longer have to work for a living and that all of the things that I’m able to do where money is paid as compensation for whatever it be, I’m able to donate all of that to charity. That’s a wonderful position to find yourself in at the latest stages of your life and I’m proud to have walked the path that I have and I’m proud to be able to continue working and to be able to give away what I earn to some very good causes here in the Southwest. – Robin Leach • The ideal set-up would be the story man, the director, and the layout man, as well as musician, operating as a sort of story unit. They all should be keenly interested in the picture. No one in person should donate to an extent where he would keep the others from entering into the production and freely expressing themselves. – Walt Disney • The Oscars is the one night of the year when you can see all your favorite stars without having to donate any money to the Democratic Party – Jon Stewart • The Pacifica Network is a vital cornerstone of our independent media landscape that depends on your financial support. Please donate today to safeguard the future of listener-powered community radio. – Amy Goodman • The point is that no matter what you choose to do with your body when you die, it won’t, ultimately, be very appealing. If you are inclined to donate yourself to science, you should not let images of dissection or dismemberment put you off. They are no more or less gruesome, in my opinion, than ordinary decay or the sewing shut of your jaws via your nostrils for a funeral viewing. – Mary Roach • The shape I’m in, I could donate my body to science fiction. – Rodney Dangerfield • There are lots of issues more important than where billionaires donate their money. – Malcolm Gladwell • There can be no clearer indication of how undemocratic the way we finance campaigns is than the fact that only one-quarter of 1% donate $200 or more, and only one-tenth of 1% gives $1,000 or more. – Arianna Huffington • There could be a powerful international women’s rights movement if only philanthropists would donate as much to real women as to paintings and sculptures of women. – Nicholas D. Kristof • They are miserly, the princes of Austria, you need not grieve about it; they may not donate anything, but they allow themselves tobe fleeced, the good lords. – Franz Grillparzer • To be able to donate money to effect change is extremely exciting. I think I’m very determined and persistent. All the things that you need to deliver a successful business and I think these qualities will be useful in the campaign with the Animal Justice Fund. – Jan Cameron • To see change in your own area code is very powerful. There’s a little orphanage down the street from my company, and we donate $1 from the sale of each CD we sell to the orphanage. – Henry Rollins • Tom [Cargil]s suggestion with a further idea: Propsers of new [C++] features should be required to donate a kidney. That would – Jim [Waldo] pointed out – make people think hard before proposing, and even people without any sense would propose at most two extensions. – Bjarne Stroustrup • URGE is a grassroots charity. We organized to get some incubators to give to the hospital for the kids. We donate money to orphanages. – Ziggy Marley • We cannot wait for others to make a difference, we have to be the change ourselves. To be a part of the making of yet another cancer hospital is a blessing in itself.’ Watch me live on ARY Digital and donate to Shaukat Khanum Memorial Cancer Hospital and Research Centre in Peshawar as much as you can. – Hadiqa Kiani • We must “Bring Back Our Girls” and support Nigerians working every day to create change. Please donate now to support Nigerian organizations educating and standing up for girls – Malala Yousafzai • We’re raising our girls to understand the real meaning of Christmas, and to know that it’s most important to have Christmas in your heart. We go to our local mall and donate toys, and we say prayers for all the people in the world who might not be as lucky as we are. – Faith Hill • What took you so long?” Nash asked, as he slid into the passenger seat and pulled the door closed. “I stopped to donate all your underwear to the homeless. You’re gonna wanna take care of those tighty whities—they’re all you’ve got left.” He leaned against the door, either too tired or too drunk to sit up. “And to think, most people don’t understand your sense of humor.” “Fools, all of them. – Rachel Vincent • When Al Gore picked Joe Lieberman to be his running mate in the 2000 presidential campaign, Eszterhas wrote “Joe Lieberman frightens me. Why should we, an Hollywood voter, donate money to a man who threatens our creative freedom, our freedom of expression.” – David Shuster • When the Haiti earthquake happened, I registered with UNICEF to set up an account, and posted to Twitter for people to donate to it. In a matter of a couple of hours, $30,000 had been donated. That, to me, was eye-opening. – Misha Collins • Whenever I donate a hunting trip for the Children’s Leukemia Foundation, Ronald McDonald Cancer House, all these children’s charities, I offer the anti-hunters an opportunity: if you donate more to the children’s charity than the hunters donate we won’t go hunting. – Ted Nugent • You can give your Social Security check to any organization, public or private, or to individuals. You can donate it to your favorite political party. You can give the funds to a student scholarship – for your grandchildren, for example – or to somebody who has a medical need. Or you can invest your government check in free enterprise. – Mark Skousen • You don’t have to donate money, it can be clothes, or books, or mediavl supplies. So there’s so much that can be done [for refugees], the most difficult thing is that first step that decision to do something. – Khaled Hosseini • You may have heard of Black Friday and Cyber Monday. There’s another day you might want to know about: Giving Tuesday. The idea is pretty straightforward.
