you know, the older I get, the more I just want to punch the salvation army bell rings in the nose.

and it is really really hard to remember that violence is not the answer.

There's that--a lot of my money gets split between the food bank and the Ali Forney Center (they help provide shelter and outreach to LGBT youth experiencing homelessness), and my time usually goes to event help with the Anti-Violence Project and college and financial aid work at New Alternatives NYC (they work to transition youth in shelters into stable lives). Immigration Equality's good too, I do a fair bit of pro bono work for them. It's not my specialty, but I can at least help people fill out the forms correctly instead of wasting their money on something that will definitely get rejected.

Brilliant. I'll focus my holiday donations toward those this year, then. I have a feeling I'll spend my time at the foodbank, though.

That's the foodbank Tandy's uncle, the priest, runs from his church. I do a lot of volunteering there during holiday times when I'm not with my family - if you like, I can introduce you to Father Michael so you can talk about donations and fundraising and stuff?

That'd be lovely, thank you!

Thank you, I was drawing a blank with names.
