On October 22nd starting at 10:00am Pacific Time, Every.org is matching donations to select animal welfare organizations at a 2:1 rate, up to $2,000 per donor per nonprofit (so if you give up to $2,000, they will contribute up to $4,000 and the nonprofit will get up to $6,000).

TLDR: We should spread idea's to people taking a dump through a Page a Day calendar.
We should make a PAGE A DAY CALENDAR where people will get 365 pages of EA content (through stories, vegan recipes and cartoons), where they can tear off one page daily. It's low-cost, low-key (if it includes cartoons), easy to use as a small present and it might suit a great public.
Inspired by this vid, from the timestamp until 15:00 (rest is worthwhile too though) https://youtu.be/Eqcdb8kpujI?t=11m50s
Sounds like something @Hamish Doodles could do (if they were interested / thought this was sufficiently worthwhile)
I'm not not interested in this idea.
I think the hard part would be coming up with ideas and writing copy for the calendar. Illustrations are time consuming but straightforward (and fun), and there are probably plug-and-play services for manufacture and distribution.
One project I'm working on is compressing EA-related material into tweet form (eg), and a curated selection of these could form the backbone of the copy.
I've made a note in my calendar on September 1 next year to revisit this idea and see if I've got enough raw material for put something together for 2024.
If someone else wants to participate (writing, ideas, illustrations, or even accountability check-ins), DM me or leave a comment and this'll be much more likely to happen.
