Giving in to the donation mechanism...

Yes brilliant readers, you'll notice that I've added a PayPal Donate button to the right upper column of this blog.

Why you may ask?

Well I could choose to talk about all that I've talked about before - working in childcare, low wages for women, being a student, student loans, etc etc - which of course all adds up to the fact that I am struggling each month to pay my rent and bills, much less the monthly fee for this blog. Which I love and adore and want to keep going for you readers (and for myself) each month.

My blog, though at times is sparse, is a way to keep myself active in my feminisms even when busy in my own life. It is a way for me to vent and write and write and write and WRITE - which is something that my soul cannot exist fully without doing on a regular basis. There is something about writing in anonynimity in the blogosphere, in knowing there is an audience without having one's own identity in name, that creates a new layer to writing.

So I have added this PayPal donation button. Should you choose to make a donation, know that the $8.95/month will be given to PayPal, while any extra funds shall be given directly to my campus Women's Resource Centre - which is brilliant, amazing, and has contributed more than I can say not only to my own development of feminism and activism, but also to my community. Through producing The Vagina Monologues each year and donating funds to campus organizations, to advocating for women and men on campus, to donating free products such as condoms, tampons, pads, diapers, to doing sexual health presentations, sexual harassment presentations, and safe space presentations for groups that ask, and to simply being a support to women and men on campus and promoting a safe climate to get an education in - the WRC is brilliant.

So lovely readers, do as you will, and I shall return regardless with post after post after post for those who choose to read, or simply for my own self and purpose.
