Early charities aimed to “rationalize” the human inclination toward generosity, Soskis said, by weeding out fraud and du

“One of the few positive things that has come out of all this, I think, is that it ‘de-shamed’ needing help,” Gaeta said. “Because everybody realized on a mass scale, ‘oh, it’s not me that’s fucked. We’re all fucked’… and the internet has increased the visibility of that.”,You can see the segregation between male and female in the plot. ‘hue’ parameter does the segregation. It is obvious in the picture that height and weight are higher in the male population overall. There are linear regression lines for both male and female data.,In its last annual “Trust Barometer,” released in January, the communications megafirm Edelman found that only half of Americans say they trust nongovernmental organizations. Generational declines in annual giving seem to reflect that disillusionment: The average young adult household now gives $443 to charity in real terms, one 2018 study estimated, compared to $624 two generations ago.,We put male and female data both in the same plot and it works because there is clear segregation and it’s only two types. But sometimes segregation is not clear and there are too many categories.,It shows the marital status for each age range. Look at the violin for ‘married’. Throughout it is almost stable with some little bumps. ‘Living with partner’ is very high in the age range of the 30s. It drastically lowers after 40. In the same way, you can infer the ideas from the rest of the plots.,Gaeta, who is disabled and active in online disability justice circles, said mutual aid as a form of giving thrived in her peer group already. But it exploded as more communities looked for ways to move money, food, and other aid to neighbors hit by the pandemic. Since Juneteenth, in particular, Gaeta has personally Venmo’d a number of both individuals and small, unaffiliated organizations.,Over the last 10 years, a broader swath of Americans has grown more familiar with the once-foreign concept of direct digital giving. Patronage platforms like Patreon and Kickstarter, and crowdfunding platforms like GoFundMe — which still offer some guarantees against fraud and deception — acclimated their users to the concept of sending and receiving funds from distant acquaintances or all-out strangers. So too did Twitter sweepstakes like the much-hyped “Cash App Fridays,” in which Cash App’s marketing team sent money to random users and which drove much of the app’s initial growth. The Detroit millionaire Bill Pulte, who claims to have used Cash App to send more than $834,000 to his followers in viral giveaways, coined the term “Twitter philanthropy” in 2019.,These older models of giving often surge to prominence in the wake of disasters, such as Hurricane Katrina, when grassroots community networks distributed groceries and operated health clinics in New Orleans. Groups associated with Occupy Wall Street organized door-to-door donation drives and food distributions when Hurricane Sandy hit New York City, publicizing their efforts under the hashtag #occupysandy. Even then, a mere three years after the launch of Venmo and a year before the release of Cash App, organizers asked supporters on Facebook and Twitter to send them donations directly through online payment apps.,Almost 130 years later, Americans still donate hundreds of billions of dollars to charities each year — $450 billion in 2019, according to the Giving USA Foundation. But almsgiving and mutual aid never disappeared, particularly in Black and diasporic communities long denied care and support from America’s institutions.,The trend goes hand-in-hand with Americans’ plummeting trust in institutions, including the charitable institutions that some mutual-aid backers collectively pan as the “nonprofit industrial complex.” To their critics, large charities waste money on fundraising and overhead expenses, act too slowly to help the most desperate, and — in some cases — apply condescending, bureaucratic criteria for aid that mimics the Victorians’ obsession with “deservingness.” While it’s impossible to generalize across a vast sector, there’s little doubt that these criticisms hold some water. Many detractors point to the Red Cross, for instance, which infamously raised half a billion dollars for Haitian earthquake relief — and for years, according to a ProPublica investigation, failed to provide much, if any, help on the ground.,Within those communities — as well as within queer, disabled, indigenous, and working-class circles — mutual aid has functioned as a kind of ongoing, holistic community support, a way for people to care for each other outside unjust social systems. In an October book about mutual aid, the activist and Seattle University law professor Dean Spade argues such communities have embraced the practice not just to “meet people’s survival needs,” but also to address their “shared understanding that the conditions in which we are made to live” are racist, classist, and exploitative.,“By starting Twitter Philanthropy, I am able to directly deposit money to people most in need,” Pulte tweeted at the time. “There is no other cause like this. This will be the future of giving.”,Let’s do that. Instead of age, let’s go back to Diastolic blood pressure. This time we will see Diastolic blood pressure vs Marital status segregated by gender. Also distribution of diastolic blood pressure by the side.,Highlights or Summaries — Putting short and punchy bullets simply as headers or placeholders on a slide can help summarize the overall message. This, when supplemented by the presenter’s explanation can often help the audience build a recall around the core of the messaging.,So when more than 20 million American workers lost their jobs in March and April — and later when Hurricane Laura flattened swaths of Louisiana, a chemical explosion killed 200 people in Beirut, and the death of George Floyd sparked a national reckoning over systemic racism — tens of thousands of Americans reached for Venmo and Cash App, said Amy Gaeta, a PhD candidate at the University of Wisconsin, Madison who studies disability and tech.
