And this puts us over $1,000! Together, we’ve sent $2,170 today towards what I think is a great, worthwhile, and important cause. I really appreciate everyone who donated and engaged with this, and looking forward to celebrating 14 new (I think?) name days with y’all!!!

So Kelsey’s name day is now April 28! …but please hear me out, since so far this is horrible. One of the saints attached to April 28 is Przybycześć, which is a super bad-ass old-school Polish name meaning “come bearing honour and valour,” which maybe redeems it somehow!

Here is a donation from
@kayessgordon – I think your saint should be Karyna, which makes your name day November 7 (https://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karina ). We just missed it. :·( We’re now at $585, which is almost 2/3 towards the matching goal of $1,000!pic.twitter.com/Avlk8TfRfp

Thanks for your generosity,
@nlevin! You get two options, and I’m going to pick May 31! https://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noe_(imię) (↑ If you follow the footnote here you can learn the story of your patron saint and the date’s significance. There is no happy ending, but that’s often the case.)pic.twitter.com/5LkHF7JAQd

This is a reminder that the wonderful
@skuwamoto is matching the second $1,000 and we’re at almost $700 now! Sho’s name means “crystal/pure,” and there is a Polish name (via Latin) that means something similar. That name is Laudo, and your name day is thus September 21!Show this thread -
This means that if you donate before midnight to Fair Fight, you can get your money doubled = you will save our democracy TWICE AS HARD, and also will get a cool name day and maybe even a cool saint as part of the package!

Thank you so much for your generosity,
@sharonw! Your money will be matched, and your name day is now July 13! (via https://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sara_(imię) …, which seems the closest to your name that doesn’t quite exist in Polish)pic.twitter.com/0uM5daMBot

There are still two hours left in the day, and if you are feeling generous, your donation to Fair Fight up to $200 will be doubled!!!

Whoa! And
@twright0 gets us there with his donation – thank you. Tomasz is a popular name, and so you have a bunch of saints looking after you, and eight name day options: https://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tomasz . I think March 7 feels like the best one to me!pic.twitter.com/oJix3WKaOA

So here we are, all of your generosity meaning Fair Fight will now put a combined donation of $4,140 to good use! (And, personally, I didn’t get to have any geese or special croissants today, but this was even better. Thank you.)
