I often describe giving as a skill: if you don’t practise it with small gestures, you’re apt to make mistakes when you try to do big gestures.
It’s the engineering mindset in me that says: start small, practise, find issues, and iteratively develop your giving strategy.

I wrote about the rule of rescue and its relation to giving.
Basically that I give only a little while I’m in the early accumulation phase, for the same reason that first responders don’t jump in harm’s way to rescue someone.
Don’t add to the victim count!

I also can’t stress enough how impactful mutual aid is, and direct giving.
Especially amongst the queer community, the joke is that we’re passing around the same $20 bill.
Outsiders adding in their money goes a long, long way to help make rent, get meds, or fill up the car before work.
