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.
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.
Made it to Budapest! I prolly won't be on b.org, but you can drop me a line if you'd like at my profile addy.
I am pleased to announce my new website: Beauty and the Bug. This is a place for me to collect weekly writings and pictures of my crafty projects. I hope you'll check it out, comment, and enjoy! I'm very excited about it.
Am home! Had a blast there are some pictures here-there will be more later. [link]

Please send your info (board name and snail-mail address) to my profile address until the 10th of December. By then, I'll match you up to pairs of givers and recipients, and let you know which is who.
Your truly,
Tiny Jewish not-Santa

I picked a somewhat wacky color scheme, but I think it works.
