Well, I wasn’t sure about donating this year, this sealed the deal for me. What an asshole.

Wikipedia also has some neat merch, for those who want to support the project and also get some cool gear

No, but I’m guessing it will be if this news spreads.

You mean the orange man’s hog? I think it’s more the other way around.

Yeah it’s been a while since I last donated and there is some light controversy around how Wikipedia goes about asking for money but I still believe in their mission.

So fuck you Musk, have a twenty Wikipedia.

I’m sure the bar for membership is low, about waist high, but you will have to practice your spinning kick.

There’s a zim for kiwix(an offline client for wiki sites) that’s around 100GB with photos.

Latest is updated to January 2024.

I usually donate a low amount, but I’m going to drop a $50 this year now. We know this asshat’s threats are random, but we can’t risk it.
