And while Trout Nation is a land rich in snark and friendship, our main export is shit-stirring and that doesn&#8217;t pay for much. As such, I am inviting all ye Troutfaithful to <a href=\"https:\/\/jennytrout.com\/?page_id=7052\">email me <\/a>your URLs\u00a0with the subject line &#8220;FUNDRAISER&#8221; (don&#8217;t leave them in the comments section or tweet me, because I&#8217;m afraid they&#8217;ll be missed and not added to the post) in the hopes that those among us who can will spread the generosity of the season.<\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s a catch: I&#8217;m not posting any links to fundraisers for commercial or artistic projects or anything like that. There&#8217;s a time and a place for those, and this post is strictly for those in need of things like food, shelter, medical procedures, pet shelter donations, etc. We&#8217;ll do another Kickstarter post after the New Year.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ll keep adding to this post until New Year&#8217;s Day.
