Because\u2026well, why not? My Amazon wish lists are more a way for me to keep track of things I\u2019d like to pick up someday, and not really kept with any expectations that some random person out there will spend money on me. But I\u2019ve been surprised a time or two in the past. So here, in roughly ascending order from \u201cmost likely to be reasonable gifts\u201d to \u201cnot at all likely\u201d, here are my lists:<\/p>\n
Random Nifty Bits<\/a>: A catch-all list for stuff that catches my eye but doesn\u2019t fit into one of the other lists.<\/p>\n Print Media<\/a>: Books; things to read.<\/p>\n Movies<\/a>: Movies and TV shows; things to stare at while sitting on my butt.<\/p>\n Lego<\/a>: Little colored plastic bits to assemble.<\/p>\n Electronic Gagets and Gizmos<\/a>: Right now, just a DJ controller.<\/p>\n Photography Bits<\/a>: Cameras, lenses, and other accessories.<\/p>\n I\u2019d also be quite happy to hear of donations to organizations like Planned Parenthood<\/a>, the ACLU<\/a>, the EFF<\/a>, the SPLC<\/a>, Amnesty International<\/a>, Doctors Without Borders<\/a>, or other such groups.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" For holiday considerations: my Amazon wish lists, or a few organizations that I think are worth donating to.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2043],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-11630","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-personal"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11630","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=11630"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11630\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11630"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=11630"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=11630"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
