Subject: Buy LINGUIST List a Weird Gadget!

 
There are a lot of weird, and probably unnecessary, gadgets on Amazon.com. For
instance, for $10, you could buy one of the following:

- a waterproof notepad to record genius ideas that strike you in the shower
- an umbrella hat, because why hold an umbrella when you can wear it on your
head?
- a mold to make perfectly spherical ice balls, which apparently melt slower
than cubes
- a clay bear that keeps brown sugar from clumping, for those of us who only
bake sporadically
- garden gloves with plastic claws on the ends of the fingers, to help you dig
(or pretend you’re a Mutant from X-Men)
- bandages that look like strips of bacon

OR, instead, you could invest in your favorite essential linguistic resource!
We invite you to donate $10 (or any amount) to LINGUIST List. Your donation
will help make sure that linguists around the world can continue to freely
access our services and resources.

Donations are tax-deductible (in the U.S.) and can be made here:
https://funddrive.linguistlist.org/donate/.

You can also set up a recurring gift here:
https://www.myiu.org/recurring-gift?sc=AG21GANIUFO4GNWETF25M by typing
“Linguist List” in the ‘search more funds’ field.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts to those who have already donated!
