Always Anti-fascist!

PDA America, the org that I do the volunteering for, is looking for fundraisers.

While we CAN beat the Koch Brothers and their associates with people power, we can't do it with NO money.

So, here's your chance to use your phone skills and supplement your income while helping build PDA.

I'm looking for 5 commission-based fundraisers. Folks who will take leads that we provide, call them, and secure contributions for PDA. Starting pay is 20% of gross contributions.

If you've been a successful sales person in the past, you'll find this work easy, and probably more fulfilling than your sales job was.

Full or part time. You set your hours. Work from the comfort of home. All you need is unlimited long distance and a reliable internet connection.

Let me know if you're interested! Send e-mail to mikefoxatpdaamerica with the subject "I'll dial for dollars" I personally find Mike a pleasure to do stuff for, but people do get a little different when money changes hands.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

On the off-chance that not everyone knows about this who needs to know - there has been a data breach at Anthem Blue Cross/Blue Shield which included social security numbers of up to 80 million people. WSJ article: [link] And Anthem's statement: [link]

Hey, a bunch of us decided to make a Facebook group for health and workout talk, advice, snark and occasional bitching.

It's called "Buffistas Kicking Health's Ass."

Let me know on FB if you want to join! Friends of Buffistas who are a good fit for the Buffistas snarkostyle are welcome to join, also.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Last year I sold my very first short story. We just launched the Kickstarter for Genius Loci: Tales of the Spirit of Place, so you can pre-order the book to read my story! I am also offering an online writing workshop as a reward. I'm excited about this anthology, so any support and/or signal boosting is appreciated!

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

Cross-posted from Other Media as I thought there might be people who don't subscribe to that thread who would be interested in this:

The Smithsonian and Stan Lee are teaming up to offer a 5 week online class about superheroes and comic books starting this May. You can audit for free.

It's not like it won't get funded in just a few hours, but -- Nathan Fillion and Alan Tudyk have an IndieGogo campaign for a new web series that does in fact get them back in a spaceship: [link]
