Some people say that clutter is ugly. Those people just lack vision. Show us a beautiful accessory (a hat, necklace, broach, or corsage), created entirely out of objects from your junk drawer. (You may not use rubber bands or paperclips.)

Using distance to create perspective, let’s see your loved one or quarantine mate, miniaturized, being pursued or eaten by an inanimate object or creature in your house. For example, a stapler could be biting your husband’s head off, if you get the perspective right. But we need to see the fear in his eyes to sell this.

Watch Ava Duvernay’s 13th. Take a photo of yourself watching it and holding up a note with a word that encapsulates how you feel about what you viewed.

Write a haiku illustrating some silver lining of pandemic life that you have discovered.

Grown-up cereal is so boring. Create a re-imagined box of Boring Bran Flakes with a snazzy character in a suit, marshmallows shaped like household bills, etc. and puzzles and games all on the back. This can be a painting/drawing or digital recreation.

Using this link, create a Fundraising page for your team, and get family, friends, and others to donate. Since this is GISH and there’s always an extra twist to everything we do, here’s the deal: we also want you to get OTHERS to donate to your GoFundMe Charity page. We know you don’t need “points” as an incentive to help oppressed people, but since it is part of the Hunt, we want to maximize the power of these points to help. Get at least 10 donations from friends, family, individuals or businesses NOT on your team. You and your team members are welcome to donate to your campaign, but that is not a requirement for points- the Item requirement is to get at least 10 people to make a cumulative total of least 10 donations from donors who are NOT on your team. There is no minimum to donate for GISH purposes, but GoFundMe Charity does require a minimum $10 donation be collected, and let’s all please encourage others to be generous so we can make a profound impact.

SUBMIT a screenshot of your team’s page with a minimum of 10 donations on it. (To initially create a fundraising team, click the FUNDRAISE FOR THIS CAMPAIGN button.) If for any reason your team is unable to (or chooses not to) join this GoFundMe Charity campaign, you may still get points for this Item by supporting another organization that seeks to improve your local or the broader community through increased inclusivity, resource enrichment or education. PLEASE SUBMIT PROOF YOU HAVE DONE THIS. If your team is in the top 10% of number of donations or dollar amount, you’ll receive triple points for this Item. Our goal is to raise $40,000 at a minimum. We know it’s a lofty goal – but we believe in you. Misha and the GISH Gnomes have donated $10,000 to get us started. Let’s do this!
