@QiaochuYuan I completely relate to feeling lost wrt charitable donations. My junk mail is 80% charities asking for money, because I've donated to a lot of causes over the years. It is low-key upsetting to dump all the heartbreaking stories in the trash without reading...
@QiaochuYuan But I didn't ask to be contacted and emotionally I can't expose myself to a stack of heartbreak each day when I get home from work... It would send me back into hopeless depression, which is not productive for anyone.
@QiaochuYuan But as the mailings have ramped up the last few years, I am really starting to identify as "heartless Scrooge horrible human being" but I'm like resigned to it because idk what else to do- I don't want to encourage wasting money on mailings by responding
