Last year, I matched donations to Trans Lifeline and it ended up at $2,200, which I rounded up to $2,500, split up into monthly payments.
I'd like to do the same this year, so if you donate $5 and reply to this post with proof, I'll match it again!

Something I think about a lot in relation to XKCD's "don't make fun of people for not knowing about something" is how so many of us assume everyone will eventually encounter everything on their own. The reality is anything we don't keep something alive in the cultural memory will become forgotten.
