Dear Tumblr,
In the next few years there could be an affordable, multi-year, reversable, non hormonal male contraceptive. You’re Tumblr, so I’ll assume you have some idea of the many many reasons this would be glorious (despite the fact that no, it doesn’t protect against stds), but it needs you and your incredible news spreading power to make it a reality. All that’s left are the last round of animal testing and clinical trials (baboons!), but because pharmaceuticals aren’t eager to fund the end of the pill, the project lacks sufficient funding. They’ve got $14,990 from their first 413 contributors, but their website asks for public support in donations of any size to help reach their $60,000 goal— even if it’s only $5 or 10. So how ‘bout it— 20oz Blueberry Mocha, or greater gender equality in respect to ‘family planning’? More information here or here. Direct to paypal here
