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:

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.
Lovely, chilling story, Fran.
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!
And as Shir makes her post, it reminds me that is is SEEKRIT GIFT EXCHANGE TIME!!!
The world is a dumpster fire inside of another dumpster fire, but forget all about that for a couple of months. Be silly! Be generous! Be curious! Be thoughtful! Be PRESENT! (do you see what I did there?)
Join me and other Buffistas in our Annual Gift Exchange. email me at b.org.msbelle at gmail, or if you already have an elfster account you might be able to search for the gift exchange there (this is untested, I am speculating) I have sent you an invite, or I should have - ping me if you think you have an account and did not get one. This year we are called B.org! 2018 Most online Friends observe Gift Exchange or the MoFo Gift Exchange for short!
Deadline to join is next Saturday - 1 WEEK!!! And then I will have elfster make matches. COME ONE, COME ALL!
