Went to quilt club today. Its amazing how a little bit of time being creative, with genuinely kind and nice people can really make you feel good. This quilt is being donated to a soup kitchen. Next month we are making lap quilts for hospice.

A quilt of different styles based on the theme of "spoons". In the center is a quote from Pete Seeger. "The world is like a see-saw out of balance. On one side is a box of big rocks, tilting it its way, and on the other side is a box, and a bunch of us with teaspoons, adding a little sand at a time. One day all our teaspoons will add up, and the whole thing will tip, and people will say 'How did it happen so fast?'"

If you're in Austin and want to attend #LonghornPHP next week but can't swing the ticket price, we still have some donated in-person tickets available. Pay $20 now, then get that $20 refunded when you show up.

Here's my (probably not complete) list of #FLOSS projects I've donated to or financially supported over the year - and especially now in the holiday season.
If you've recently started moving away from big tech and replaced their tools with FLOSS alternatives, maybe consider sharing a bit of your savings with the people that make the tools you now rely on 🙏
Which tools would that be for you?

For the first time ever, I'm looking at sponsored commits to tell whether any fraction of money that I donated, over the years, might have gone in the pocket of someone whose rule-breaking wasn't worth a penny.

Yesterday I installed some OpenSource Software on my Laptop. As it also has a donation page, I donated 5€.
Since a couple of years I try to donate whenever I install OpenSource Software. Something between 5€-15€. Especially in the age of "Free"Apps that are bloated with Ads, I want to honor when a software comes just as is with a friendly hint to a donation page.
(I really try to avoid resetting my machines as this always comes with a couple of donations...)

Screenshot of the Liberapay ‘Giving’ page for the user midtsveen. The page shows a single active monthly donation of €10 to ‘autistici.org,’ marked as a private donation with manual renewal. It notes the donation started 6 minutes ago and was modified 2 minutes ago, with the next payment due in one month.

Got an email from the US DOJ. I initially clocked it as spam, but no, it's the real deal:
I donated to some charity drive years ago, the guy who ran the charity pled guilty to embezzling $2.5MM, and as a result I have been identified by the DOJ as a ***VICTIM***. Wild shit!
