I feel like it is a very great privilege to be able to post this to Hacker News, soliciting donations.
Just curious -- are you implying that this is exempted from the rules because the poster is famous? I'm not familiar with any HN rule that forbids "soliciting donations", but also it's been a minute since I looked them up.
As a culture, HN strongly dislikes people who post their own stuff outside of ShowHN. Justine herself acknowledges in the post that she is able get away with things on the site that the majority are not allowed.
