Hi peeps. I needed a name change, because of ... things. The tag line should help identify me?

Don't know if it's been posted in Other Media ('cuz I'm a jillion posts behind), but Humble Bundle has a "Geek Gals" ebook and comic bundle going, which includes Paper Girls (which I'm presently reading) and Lumberjanes (which I have seen recced pretty highly hereabouts). My work computer won't let me link, but humblebundle.com/books/geek-gals-books is what the link looks like.
There is a new beta board: beta.buffistas.me
No more invite codes. The registration and login stuff is fully implemented now.

I just found out that for every tweet today using the hashtag, #TreeMobile, T-Mobile will donate a tree to The Nature Conservancy. I don't have a Twitter account, but I thought some of you who do might be interested.
I'm transitioning my fannish email address. My new one is in my profile. I'll have email from the old address forwarded for a while, but the old address will probably be closed down by the end of the year.
A bit of a mini kickstarter going over here - warning: contains brainweasels! [link]
Kinda forgot with so much other stuff going on, but the Kindle edition of my book is free until Friday.
Folks who shop at Penzeys, they have a really good deal going on that ends today at 1 pm Eastern (10 am board time), for a free 1/4 cup jar, 1/2 cup jar, and 3/4 cup bag of their top 20 items. It's only via their website, not the stores, so check it out if you need/want spices and whatnot. [link]
One of the women who lives at the group home of which I am house coordinator could use a bit of help.
She has a severe and uncontrolled seizure disorder as well as immune deficiency issues. And she is only just now getting back on her feet after being slammed with influenza and a UTI this winter.
She attended a week every summer for many years at a lovely camp for people with disabilities. It always seemed to perk her up a bit. Sadly after last summer, the camp announced it was folding. There are various organizations in this area that offer vacation and camping opportunities for people with disabilities, but they are uniformly more costly; which may explain why that camp folded. Since she is unfamiliar with the new camp, she will need a higher care ratio (number of persons supported per staff member), which adds to the expence. Even with financial aid, she still has to come up with over $1000 on her own. This is more than she can readily afford.
Please consider helping me help her: my Paypal account is merriwyllow@yahoo.com
Thank you, most excellent Buffistas.
