Matching donations

The Great Slate currently has someone matching donations (so anything you donate is doubled)

Over $20,000 of matching left at last tweet: https://twitter.com/Pinboard/status/1053858998355673088

So if you'd like to donate to them but haven't gotten around to it yet, now might be a good time.
