cblj_backupGood morning all, and welcome to Radio Free Monday!

![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
darksideofstorm linked to an article about a gay couple in Texas, Joshua Harrison and Jeremy Jeffers, who have been on the receiving end of hate speech in their small town and can't afford to leave it. There's a new-ish website called Owldolatrous that further documented the harassment and is raising money to help them with a rent down payment and moving expenses so they can find a safer place to live.

subluxate is raising money for travel to Iowa City in January to see a specialist for Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome. They're writing drabbles and offering editing services in return for donation, here on Dreamwidth and here on LJ.
highlyeccentric linked to Tom on Tumblr, who is raising money to apply for a visa so he and his partner can move home to Australia where her prospects for medical treatment are better. Their story is here, and their chipin fundraising page is here.
an_sceal linked to a fundraiser to help pay medical bills for Baby, a service dog who was attacked by feral dogs and seriously injured. Her owner, an artist, is selling amazing works of art at his Facebook to try and cover Baby's bills. Even if you can't afford to buy, check out his art, it's super cool.
Doola linked to a petition to try and stop the destruction of a buried Buddhist city, a significant cultural site in Afghanistan, which is being threatened by a proposed mining operation.
melayneseahawk linked to an indiegogo fundraiser to help research the potential of a cancer-killing virus currently lacking the funding to be developed. Big Pharma apparently won't fund it because it's in the public domain, so there's no profit to be made from it.
Housing For Fans:
tesserae_ is looking for a housemate in a historic building in downtown Los Angeles. Private laundry, three cats, and fan friendly; you can email for more info at tesserae4405 at yahoo.com.
Just For Fun:
mycatsellsclues linked to an awesome tumblr called What Should We Call Art History, which I think any scholar or lover of art will enjoy. I know I did. :D
And this has been Radio Free Monday! Thank you for your time. You can always post items for my attention in comments here (or on any post) or email me at copperbadge at gmail dot com. If you're not sure how to proceed, here is a little more about what I do and how you can help (or ask for help!). Remember, brevity is the soul of RFM.

I also know I'm biased as hell (hello, future oncologist speaking). I just...I just wish that sometimes this species had different priorities, is all. A bit less blue catgirl, a bit more science.
