Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
I have $700 even in the WGA strikers goodie bags fund.
Polgara and I are going to deliver on Friday morning.
Jesse is delivering to WGA East New Yorkers, I'm sending her a check from the fund for handwarmers and such.
Leftover funds are likely going to be donated to a fund dedicated to helping out crew folk who have lost their jobs due to the strike.
I'm taking donations until Thursday, noon, at my paypal: Allyson000@aol.com

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
One of the writers sent this message to the admins, so I figured it ought to be posted over here:
Just wanted to thank you guys for the fantastic gift bag I picked up at the end of my picketing this morning at Fox. Your support and encouragement means a lot to us - and, for me, so does the chocolate!
Thanks again!

unitedhollywood.com has organized Pencils2MediaMoguls with a group of showrunners, including Joss Whedon.
Joss talks about it here.
ION, I'm sending Jesse bags and a check on Monday to take care of WGAeast. I believe we have a few hundred left over to donate to the Solidarity Fund to help non-union workers.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Another message from the picket lines:
I was on the line at Fox yesterday when the strike survival kits were delivered and wanted to thank you all for them.
Afterwards I heard many writers comment on how impressive it was not only that you were so supportive, but that the Buffy community is still so strong.
Being a Browncoat myself I wanted to explain that Joss is special that way, but figured it'd be best to just let them remain mystified.
Thanks again!

And another one:
I am a WGA writer on strike who pickets in front of the Fox lot. The other day, some of your members dropped off your Strike Survival Kits to the picketers there. I understand you guys took up a collection to do this and show your support.
I can't tell you how much we appreciate it. Fan support is always great, but you guys went above and beyond the call of duty. The bags were quickly snatched up. (And my kids are playing with the Mad Libs right now!)
Thanks again to you and your organization.
I tried to find the appropriate thread to post this in, but my brain is rattled from too much sun, chanting, and walking around in a circle for two weeks.
I just wanted you guys to know how much we appreciated the gesture.
