My ten year old kid said "Bring out your dead!" The last time we walked by one of the bell ringers. Im not sure if I should be proud or not.

[-] kryptonianCodeMonkey@lemmy.world 48 points 9 months ago

A ten year old that even gets that reference is ahead of the curve. That kid is a meme prodigy.

[-] CADmonkey@lemmy.world 20 points 9 months ago

Well... that and she has seen Monty Python and the Holy Grail.

And... she remembered me doing it last year.

I wish to be enlightened. I'm not privy to this meme

[-] muffedtrims@lemmy.world 15 points 9 months ago

It is a quote from the movie, Monty Python and The Holy Grail. The scene is in a village in the middle ages when everyone was dying of the plague.

Ahhh, from before we called anything funny worth sharing a meme. Good times, good times...

Remember: the Salvation Army funds homophobic genocide

[-] onlooker@lemmy.ml 17 points 9 months ago

I know the Salvation Army has an antagonistic stance towards non-heterosexual relationships, but could you elaborate on the genocide part?

[-] HurlingDurling@lemm.ee 5 points 9 months ago

I didn't remember, because I didn't know about this. Any links for self referencing?

[-] Cap@lemm.ee 1 points 9 months ago

As far as I know they changed their stance. Even their website now says they accept anyone even lgbtq+ community.

Talk is cheap, any nazi can say they're good guys now while continuing their evil actions. Just look at every billionaire. PR carries continents.

[-] robocall@lemmy.world 19 points 9 months ago

Gdq are clowns now and if you say it you're transphobic and don't support LBGTQ rights

[-] LinkOpensChest_wav@lemmy.one 4 points 9 months ago

I'd like to add Lakota People's Law Project and Minnesota Freedom Fund

[-] Crashumbc@lemmy.world 60 points 9 months ago

One with a better track record of using donations for charity and not spending money on anti gay agendas.

They got Dolly Parton for a football game that's the definition of excess.

I love Dolly, all us Tennesseans do, but come on.

But christmas is the season of giving, and bigots are people too 🥺

[-] AVincentInSpace@pawb.social 1 points 9 months ago

Toys for Tots was pretty good last I checked

[-] Cap@lemm.ee 0 points 9 months ago

They changed their stance a quite a while ago. Even their website states they accept everyone including LGBT+

[-] Grayox@lemmy.ml 37 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

eff.org too

[-] jackoneill@lemmy.world 7 points 9 months ago

Nowhere, not rich enough to be able to donate when we can barely cover our own expenses

[-] ignotum@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago

You're prioritizing your own survival over filling the pockets of the salvation army leadership? (They are quite well "compensated" for their "efforts")

And this during christmas, the season of giving?

Have you no compassion?

I always give my money to local animal shelters + archive.org

[-] Omega_Haxors@lemmy.ml 2 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

I actually got a grant from a local animal shelter and I was planning on giving back... until I checked my email to see if I got any clients and found out that they've been sending astronomical amounts of spam there (I definitely never consented to that, it was my professional email) and quickly reconsidered. Same reason i'm never donating to wikipedia ever again. I didn't give you my email so you could slam it with commercials... Hope that quarter of a penny you got was worth it, assholes, because once i'm done cleaning up you're never seeing another cent from me ever again. Donated to antifa once, got a single email saying "Remember that cause you donated for? We won."

I use that as a litmus test. I now have a "spam" email and donate small amounts. If they spam that email, I won't donate again.

[-] AVincentInSpace@pawb.social 1 points 9 months ago

I'm a fan of Toys For Tots as a direct alternative. They don't accept money; you just buy a toy and put it in the donation bin, and they distribute them

"Sure, when you sit through one of my sermons."
