im tired of black friday being an orgy of spending and commercialism in the name of "deals"
so here's my black friday deal: if you're struggling financially or are having trouble making ends meet, i'll pitch in a bit to help you out: just reply to this post with a link to somewhere i can donate. i can't spare much but i'll do the best i can.
if you're someone privileged like me, consider doing one of these as well with the tag #givebackfriday or donating to links in the replies.

"But how will my mum use [social networks]?"
