I worry that disclaimers aside you would start seeing a lot of fundraiser submissions.
Spike? It's you. It's really you! My therapist thought I was holding on to false hope, but…I knew you'd come back. You're like…you're like Gandalf the White, resurrected from the pit of the Balrog, more beautiful than ever. Oh…he's alive Frodo. He's alive.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Could you post it WITHOUT the fundraiser information? People who felt inspired could easily track it down.

My concern would be the same as Brenda's. There are a ton of worthy fundraisers out there. Where would you stop?

Because books.
Or you could just leave it off. I reblogged it, and I know others are -- maybe I'll post it to Facebook, too.
Kat, that's a rough week. I don't know how you do it.

Yeah, fundraisers are hard.

I love that tumblr.
I dreamed about being at some fundraising dinner with Allen Leech and Whoopi Goldberg last night. (I am not sure where Whoopi came from in my subconscious.)

Kat, I know I've been skippy -- what suicide attempt by a student? That's tough.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh yeah, that too! OK, you know what? I'm just going to give that girl some money myself ad leave it at that.

One of my students tried to commit suicide on Wed. I had her Best friend in class yesterday and tried to connect, but with 8554 things going on, I could only get a quick note to the BFF.
I'm gutted and tired today (I have a book hangover from reading through the night. Curses on Rainbow Rowell!) and am a little overwrought. I can't get into work email so I don't know why we are on lockdown. ARGH.

Amy, I hope you don't feel like I was calling you out -- it's just that this one made me reconsider! Unlike other submissions I've gotten from strangers.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Oh, Kat, I'm sorry. I know how hard that is, not only on the kiddoes, but on you as support. You do what you can and what you can is all you can do.
