I have a quick update on the NCAAT fundraising.
We are at $17,000, which is awesome.
Side note: For some reason I can’t quite recall (!) I didn’t manage to get any client work done last evening! I am not where I need to be, so I will be MIA for most of today. So this one is simple. No reporting of NCAAT donations is necessary, just get the thermometer to $21,000, please. :-)
Why? Because we have a Balloon Juice Angel who will complete the match for us as soon as the thermometer hist $21,000.
This Angel writes a check rather than adding to the thermometer, so for now I have changed our goal to $21,000 to be more clear that once we hit that amount in the thermometer, we will have met our goal!
Because we have a double external match + a BJ Angel, all donations to NCAAT of any amount are 6x!
You’re still free to note a donation in the comments to inspire other people, if you want, but no reporting is necessary.
I am going to take a quick peek to see how the debate is being reported and then it’s work, work, work for me. Hoping that between Kamala being was so great last night and him being so weak, that maybe the media wasn’t able to go with their prepared take on the debate. (Either he won or it was a toss-up.)
Open thread!

Quick note about the Nebraska fundraising. Waiting for our $2,500 Angel to add their donation, seven though the thermometer says $5k, we’re really 3/4 of the way to our $10,000 goal!

I predict that NCAAT will get even more value for our Jackal Dollars after yesterday’s Taylor Swift endorsement of Harris.
NCAAT is doing GOTV outreach to youth… and there are a whole lot of Swifties in that demographic.

Just donated $270. I had to get the thermometer over the 18000 mark, otherwise it would have bugged the hell out of me.
