Playing the money card

I make no secret that I support my local NPR station, and when there was noise about the federal government cutting funding, I bumped my annual contribution by an order of magnitude, because fuck those guys.

This puts me in the amusing position of occasionally abusing my privilege as a donor for personal reasons. The usual perks are stuff like access to cultural events or social soirees, which I have never taken advantage of. Instead I ask for inexpensive swag - an extra 4oth anniversary travel mug, or, this morning, a set of NPR temporary tattoos.

Because, fuck yeah, I will wear the shit out of those.
