Hey all - those who see me on Facebook might already be sick of hearing about this, but TomW is doing an awesome Kickstarter creating 100 Heroines. The concepts and stories will be open source, and only $25 gets a physical copy of the book with all 100. ($5 gets a PDF). It's really cool, and he's really good at this. He's not doing it to make cash (his modest goal means he'll lose a little money fulfilling his orders) but he's passionate about it and really wants to bring more kickass and diverse heroines into the world.
Anyway, check out the page, and definitely check out the updates, he's been adding new characters there. Plus, he is working on an homage to our own moon. Tom W's 100 Heroines Kickstarter
Support, feedback, and sharing are all encouraged!
FYI, here's what Tom has come up with for the superheroine character, Moon. If you have any specific feedback to share, please do so in ita's thread. [link]
Hey everyone - only one more week for backing TomW's 100 Heroines Kickstarter project. This latest update includes a look at a very special superheroine... [link]
My dad just got sent to the hospital. We're waiting for more information but it doesn't look good at all. Frankly, and I say this as someone who adores her father, my family all hopes this is the end.
I could use some - ma towards that end. We just have to play wait and see right now and it's incredibly hard either way.
ETA: Not mentioning this on FB right now. It's just family and close friends who have been informed.
Hey, everyone. Just a quick drive by to let you know that TomW's Kickstarter is in its final hours. He's $190 short of his stretch goal, so if you've been meaning to check it out, now is the time to do so! Read his updates to see some of the new characters he's been coming out with - I think you'll find it as exciting as we do! [link]
Hello! You may have seen this on FB, but I'm in a rock band! I'm doing this thing called Rock Roulette, which is a fundraiser for Girls Rock NC, an awesome nonprofit that, among other things, runs a summer camp for girls and trans girls and other marginalized genders, where they foster empowerment and creativity through learning how to be in a rock band.
Through Rock Roulette, I've been sorted into a band with three other amazing women (and my hairdresser, whom I talked into being our guest drummer when our drummer dropped out). We have until March 31 to write two original songs and learn one cover, and then we and nine other bands perform in Durham (YIKES). We also are on a fundraising spree—each band is racing to see how much money they can raise for GRNC, and the winning band gets time in a recording studio!
Our band name is Alpaca Dreams*, and I'd love it if we blew the other bands out of the water with the power of the Buffistas! BONUS: If you donate, you get swag (self-financed, so 100% of your donation goes to GRNC). My neighbor Anny designed us a killer logo, and my friend's seven-year-old daughter drew us a secondary logo, both of which are featured prominently on the swag. Our fundraising page is here. Thank you all!!!
Just donated, amyth! I love the name Alpaca Dreams SO much...and am happy to support girls rockin'.
Now, about my last ditch pitch.
Today is the last day for voting in the Washington City Paper "Best of" poll.
I'm feeling a little sick as I tried to be all fancy by boosting a facebook post which somehow ended up sorted to THE PHILIPPINES. Seriously. No idea how that happened.
Anyhoo. I would be so grateful if you have not voted, and would be willing to help me improve my google ranking...it is super fast, easy and spam-free.

Then, scroll down to Best Life Coach, and type in Bonny King-Taylor
The system will ask that you log in with a social account and, I swear, they have never reused that info in the 5 years I've been doing this.
Please, please, please help. This designation is a powerful tool for me.
Many, many thanks!
Hey, I need to change my address in The List. Whoever has access, if you want to email me at profile addy, I'll send you the changes.
Thanks!
Also a thing I should do. Thanks for the reminder!
