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.

I am so grateful for all the gifts toward camp for this woman I have the privilege of serving. In a very short time, we have gathered up $300 to help her. That is enough to tip her over the half way point, at which the camp will allow her to make payments on the remainder. This kind of love and generosity humbles me. I am hoping to shave at least $750 off the fee for camp for her. She will be leaving for camp on Sunday, June 3. If anyone has been thinking of helping out but has not yet had a chance, I can forward money to her camp account at any time.

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)

Tom is taking pre-orders for his 100 Heroines Book - several of y'all supported his Kickstarter, but here's an opportunity to buy it if you missed it (or buy more copies). He's done 86 heroines so far, and they're all awesome (although I am biased.) There's a sample to check out, Heroines #1-10.

Spread the word!

We gathered a total of $450 for camp for the woman I support. I dropped her off at camp today. She loves porch swings; there is only one porch swing on the entire camp property - right in front of her cabin. This was so perfect, that I had goosebumps driving away after getting her settled in. I hope today somehow you all got to feel a wave of love, because my gratitude for Buffista magic is enormous, and I hope it reaches you.

In case anybody else meant to back this Kickstarter and flaked (like me), there are 16 hours left on the RBG action figure:

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

The Light Bulbs thread has been opened to discuss a proposal to consider updating the "About this site" language to make it clear who we are. Please see the thread for more details.

not your mom's socks.

I have a new short, murdery story up here [link]

& also there's a huge ebook sale going on for a certain first book in a trilogy through Oct. 2 in case someone you know needs a squid hug.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Lovely, chilling story, Fran.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".

Darlings, it's time for my now-annually(?)-Christmas-announcement/reminder to Buffistas with religious affiliates.

For those of you who don't know/forgot: I live in Jerusalem, Israel, and spend most of my time in it. And I know this board has religious people on it, or people with religious families and friends.

So if any of you of any faith would like something from here - the Old City, or anywhere else - for Christmas or any other occasion, it's really easy for me to get it and send it overseas. In fact, I'd LOVE to do this for you, given enough guidance and information (I am and was raised Jewish, and pretty much everything I know about Christianity came from popular culture TV). I'm also OK with rubbing objects against graves/approximated graves/holy locations, if that what it takes.

Profile addy is good, and again - it's not a hassle. It's the opposite of it.

Happy holidays!
