Macklemore & Ryan Lewis and Pearl Jam have combined forces with Slog this holiday season to raise money for the Orion Center*, which houses homeless teens right here in our city.

** Seattlish is a blog that isn’t Slog that is nevertheless accessible to readers in the United States—a clear violation of the royal charter that created Slog. (What part of “America’s only blog” don’t they understand?) But in all fairness to Seattlish fans… there’s no landing page where Seattlish fans can donate as Seattlish fans, and it’s possible that many Seattlish fans are also fans of Macklemore & Ryan Lewis or Pearl Jam or Slog or all the above. But still: zero dollars from Seattlish fans?!? A real Seattle blog would care about homeless teenagers in our area and they wouldn’t sit around waiting for someone else to create a landing page where their readers can donate. They would find a way to GIVE!
