Thank you so much to everyone who donated! In the end we raised $32.8k, or about 1% of AWF's total donations for 2024. Based on the historical cost-effectiveness of AWF's grants, I expect the money will greatly benefit the lives of hundreds of thousands of farmed animals!

The fundraiser is now over $12.5k! To celebrate, here's a look back at all the crazy antics we did as a result of last years, which raised $35k in the end:

Just donated. Don’t know if that means I qualify as terminally online; but at least it will help animals! Props to the organizers 🫶

I was the one who came up with "Vegan Hot Ones" so if we don't hit that goal it means you personally hate me

It's that time of year again 🎉 Another virtual fundraiser for the EA Animal Welfare Fund! Help reduce the suffering of animals while maybe increasing ours a bit (drinking huel)

Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow is probably my favorite comic of all time I think it really captures, sometimes subtly, a kind of hopeful existential I deeply feel -- while also making Supergirl unbelievably cool

Kieron Gillen wrote an entertaining Professor X in his final X-Men series, and then somehow radically one-uped himself with Etienne Lux

New here and missing all the prompts. Here is my day late #sequentialSaturday . Loved drawing this sequence from issue 2 of the power fantasy, jumping back and forth between a sunny morning in Tokyo to a raining evening in NYC while capturing the subtle intensity of this telepathic conversation. 😊

One issue for religious realism, even if you grant god does exist, is that you still haven't done anything to figure out which god does. You no justification for being a Christian, for example I think moral realism suffers a similar issue — there's an endless number of possibly right moral systems!

Huge problem with twitter is that buying the subscription for it makes it a worse user experience
