keep the outdated newspaper contribution info feed

2025/12/17 Edited to

... Read moreYou know, I recently stumbled upon a fundraising appeal that really caught my attention – it was from Wikipedia, featuring Lisa Seitz Gruwell, the Deputy to the CEO of Wikimedia. Like many of you, I use Wikipedia almost daily for everything from quick facts to deep dives into complex topics. It’s a resource I often take for granted, but seeing her appeal made me pause and think about the immense value Wikipedia provides to literally billions of people around the globe. It’s easy to forget that Wikipedia isn't some giant corporation. It's a nonprofit foundation, Wikimedia, powered by dedicated volunteers and sustained by donations. When I saw their request for support, specifically mentioning a modest $2.75 contribution by December 17, it really resonated with me. I mean, where else can you find such a vast, openly accessible encyclopedia, free of ads and paywalls? Its independence is what makes it so trustworthy and invaluable. This appeal isn't just about money; it's about preserving a cornerstone of free knowledge in our digital age. Lisa Seitz Gruwell, in her capacity at Wikimedia, really highlighted the mission behind this. She emphasized that these Wikipedia donations are crucial for maintaining the infrastructure, developing new features, and most importantly, ensuring that information remains freely available to everyone, everywhere. It's not about making profits; it's about making knowledge accessible. I've often wondered how such a massive project sustains itself, and this appeal made it clear: it's through the collective goodwill of its users. Think about it: every time you quickly look up a historical event, a scientific concept, or even a pop culture reference, you're benefiting from this incredible global effort. Imagine a world without it – it would be a significantly less informed place. That small $2.75 contribution they're asking for is less than a cup of coffee, yet it goes towards something that impacts education, research, and general curiosity on a daily basis for countless individuals. It's truly an investment in global literacy. I decided to make my Wikipedia donation because I believe in the principle of free and open access to information. It’s hard to put a price on something so fundamental. This isn't just a charity; it's a fundamental utility in the internet landscape. The appeal underscored the urgency, reminding me that these contributions are what keep the lights on, metaphorically speaking, for one of the most visited websites in the world. So, if you've ever found value in Wikipedia, I encourage you to consider answering Lisa Seitz Gruwell's call to support this amazing nonprofit before the December 17 deadline. Every little bit truly helps keep this vital resource alive and thriving for future generations.

A smiling baby in a cream knitted hat with bear ears and a blue and white patterned snowsuit sits in the snow. The text overlay reads, 'BABY FEEDING RULES THAT ARE OUTDATED... AND WHAT TO DO INSTEAD.'
The image features text on a snowy background, discussing 'FEEDING SCHEDULES & PRACTICES.' It highlights that strict schedules, giving water/sugar water, and bottle propping are outdated or dangerous feeding methods for babies.
Text on a snowy background addresses 'STARTING SOLIDS & ALLERGENS.' It debunks the 3-day wait rule for new foods, warns against cereal in bottles, and clarifies that infant cereal isn't the only first food.
Baby Feeding Rules That Are Outdated…
Many people still follow some of these outdated feeding methods like “knockout bottles” and propping bottles up. They are not just dangerous, but the knockout bottle is filling them up on empty calories. Now if your baby’s pediatrician tells your to use rice cereal to thicken your baby’s formula
