Recommended Comment Considerations

When commenting, please consider the three doors that charitable speech must pass through. The gatekeeper at the door asks, "Is it true?" The second gatekeeper asks, "Is it helpful?" The third gatekeeper asks, "Is it kind?" (adapted from the writings of Krishnamurti by James Martin on p. 169 of his book "Between Heaven and Mirth.)

Help us reach our 2026 goal of $1200 in donations!
We didn't achieve our 2025 goal of $1200 and only received $970 in donations. Hoping for a better year this year!
