I am not...I am not the damsel in distress. I am not some case. I have to work this. I've lived in a cave for 5 years in a world where they killed my kind like cattle. I am not going to be cut down by some monster flu. I am better than that. What a wonder...how very scared I am.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
So I failed to do this at the top of the tour, but I would really love it if any of these stops were near Buffistas and you could come out to my shows. The lead guy we're playing for is a Christian, but although he speaks during the show it's not a particularly preachy deal, and I think you'd enjoy the goofiness anyway (he plays everything from banjo to plastic lawn flamingo).

Our wings are not tired.
It's time to help Ginger kick some cancer ass. And also some mice ass. And get a new dishwasher if she wants it. And also treats for Mr. Peabody. Let's spread it all over the internet and help one of our own who has never asked for help. Even if you can't help right now, could you please share the page on your own Facebook? Thank you!
(I asked and received Ginger's permission to set this up. I have co-conspirators who can out themselves if they wanna.)

Our wings are not tired.
After receiving a very sweet email from Shir, it got me thinking...
So I'm volunteering to be the keeper of the email list of "people who want to be notified for fundraising efforts" for individual Buffista causes.
Often we lead the efforts in secret to surprise the recipient, but that means many people are excluded because the lists are ad-hoc and I generally end up writing to the same 40 folks again and again because I've got their email addresses.
This is entirely opt-in. And it will mean that if a fellow Buffista wants to kick off a campaign on behalf of someone, they can ask me for the latest email list and I will provide it. That way you will not be left out of the loop of any efforts, and we can effectively raise money in secret without excluding anyone inadvertently.
I am so grateful for all y'all.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
So yesterday the entire account went down, including b.info. The plan is to get b.info hosted somewhere entirely separately from here, because that's the whole point. Not yet achieved, though.
In the interim, I created buffistas.tumblr.com. And I can assign buffistas.info to that, so that's probably simpler than what I was pursuing fruitlessly in the first place. No, you don't need to be "on tumblr" to get it, or anything. And Im 99% sure I can publish straight from there to other places, so while posting multiple times is the last thing on my mind when I'm cursing out technical support, that should be handy.
So for now: buffistas.tumblr.com is where status is. Follow it if you tumbl. Soon, buffistas.info should point there.
