Good morning all, and welcome to Radio Free Monday!

I leave for Texas for eight days today. Someone rescue me. :P

Ways To Give:

[livejournal.com profile] brilliant_snark linked to a-fiendish-thingy, who is in a bit of a financial bind and is selling fanart prints and offering commission sketches in exchange for donations.

[personal profile] finch linked to a fundraiser to help a hopeful law school student take his (very expensive) LSATs.

[livejournal.com profile] brilliant_snark linked to a fundraiser for a senior thesis film called "Resistance", about a gay reporter covering the discharge of a gay soldier on the eve of the Don't Ask, Don't Tell repeal. The film has been made so this is to fund promotion of the film, I believe.

[personal profile] subluxate linked to a list of ways to help the Newtown and Sandy Hook community in the wake of the shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary.

[personal profile] lizcommotion posted an update on her charity drive to collect hand-made medical play dolls and PICC line covers for a rehab center in Washington, DC. She's also offering a limited supply of free yarn for the projects if folks are unable to participate due to lack of yarn.

Give For Free:

Peapod this month has a game called Turkey Bowling. It takes a while to get the hang of it, but for every round you play, Peapod will donate one dollar to food pantries to "help strike out hunger".

Just For Fun:

[livejournal.com profile] jonaht linked to an awesome vintage photo site, Only Old Photography.

[personal profile] gehayi let me know that the Indiana Jones package mystery that I posted about last week has been solved. Hilariously, it was sent to the University of Chicago because the envelope it was packed in was mysteriously torn away.

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.

And Happy Christmas! Yeah, it's obscene how early I'm waking up given it's a holiday. :D

Ah, thank you for posting about the resolution of the Indiana Jones package. I'd sent the link to my husband & he was really curious!!

Hey, I've never done this before, so let me know if you need more information than what I've provided!

My friend has a fundraiser up at http://homeformomma.chipin.com/helping-my-mother-find-a-home to help his mother raise money for a security deposit a few months' rent, so she can have a place to live. She's currently suffering from rheumatoid arthritis, which has impacted her ability to work recently. There's more information at the link. My friend is a great person, and while I've never met his mother, she must also be great to have raised him.
