“Hot and bothered” in the sense that it is 90 degrees out and I am extremely annoyed

*in the middle of a breakdown* Omg wait. this is just like the character

The scene where Grace shows Rocky the clock to communicate he’s leaving to take a nap amuses me because like… A ticking clock? That he just left behind? No explanation of what it’s counting down to? That’s a bomb threat, babey.

Most of the time I’m comfortable being the nice weird girl you talk to in class but don’t make plans with.

But sometimes it’s kinda lonely.

Would you like to round up your total to donate to charity?

If you've ever heard those words, please, PLEASE don't respond yes.

It wasn't until I worked in the fundraising world that I learned how this worked, and it massively fucking sucks.

These are called "scan campaigns"

Okay, you say, but what is a Scan Campaign? Scan campaigns are those donation requests you get when you try and check out of somewhere. Like, “Would you like to round up?” or “Donate $1 to XYZ?” These are often framed like they're quick, feel good ways to help a cause and it can feel so gross to say no.

However, here’s what’s really happening:

You are the one who donates the money.

The company collects and bundles those donations.

The company then donates the full amount in its name.

The company gets the PR benefit and tax deduction.

You get… a receipt.

Yes, you read that right. The company gets a TAX DEDUCTION, based on YOUR PAYMENT. Sometimes they will match (like $10,000 to $10,000 raised, but they will still get the deduction and the headline for $20,000).

So, what do you do? Give money to a cause, yourself. You should always go to the source with any kind of charitable giving anyways (And I STRONGLY encourage checking out organization 990s on ProPublica - I should make a post about this too) because you need to know where your money is going.

I'm not saying NOT to give. I'm saying don't give corporations the ability to get goodwill they DON'T deserve. It may feel strange to say no when you're asked to give money to Childrens Miracle Network, but you can also come home and give right here - https://donate.childrensmiraclenetworkhospitals.org/ but look at their 990 first - https://projects.propublica.org/nonprofits/organizations/870387205

This is actually pretty high, it should be about 25% or lower for salaries and wages. But that's another post.
