Good morning everyone, and welcome to Radio Free Monday!

Man, I was going to give myself next Monday off, but I'm not flying until the afternoon, so I have no excuse. :D

Ways To Give:

[livejournal.com profile] aunty_marion has friends who are dealing with extreme financial hardship in the face of medical bills for chronic health conditions. They're accepting donations at [livejournal.com profile] smallship1's writing website, Nexus, but I also found a donate button at his LJ.

[personal profile] james let me know that [personal profile] thedeadcat is raising money for urgent dental work outside of insurance, and selling handmade jewelry here. She's also offering a coupon code for 15% off: HELPMEOBIWAN.

Angela has a book for sale! Sales of Finding Grace help her get through a rough financial time right now, and she's encouraging people to have a look.

[livejournal.com profile] kit_maxel linked to a fundraiser for [livejournal.com profile] raptorix's cat, who has had some sudden medical issues. Raptorix is selling books, movies, and manga, as well as commission sketches. There's more information here.

[livejournal.com profile] madripoor_rose linked to Cutie's Fund, a fundraiser by the Lucas County Dog Warden to raise money to help fund emergency care for injured animals.

Help For Free:

Christy linked to a Whitehouse.gov petition to have Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome recognized as a potentially disabling illness by the Social Security Administration. EDS has many effects on health, from scarring to aortic dissection.

[livejournal.com profile] jonaht is looking for a soundtrack I posted years ago, the Winter Mix, which I no longer even have the playlist for. If anyone's got it, could they drop a comment? I can re-host it if I can get my hands on it :)

News To Know:

[livejournal.com profile] mycatsellsclues linked to an astounding trailer for Landfill Harmonic, an upcoming documentary about a Paraguayan orchestra where young musicians play "recycled" instruments built from junk.

[livejournal.com profile] taerowyn linked to a useful tool for nighttime computer users, which dims the color tone on your computer according to the time of day.

Chai sent me links to info on the Dead Isle Podfic Project. They'll be posting instructions for "sound checks" for people who want to read on the project at [community profile] deadislepodfic, [livejournal.com profile] deadislepodfic, and here on tumblr. Everyone who wants to audition needs to submit a sound check, so make sure you keep an eye out at your platform of choice for more information!

Just For Fun:

[livejournal.com profile] ecaterin has a fantastic photoessay posted of pictures she took at Seattle's Gay Marriage at City Hall event.

Christian and [livejournal.com profile] mycatsellsclues both linked me to The Indiana Jones Package Mystery, the story a fascinating package that has arrived at University of Chicago, addressed to Henry Walton Jones.

[personal profile] jjhunter is hosting an Anonymous Love Meme, open throught December 23rd! It's on DW but non-DW users are welcome.

When I suggested we write an Internet Troll version of Gilbert & Sullivan's "I've Got A Little List", [personal profile] norah obliged with flair.

[personal profile] jadey linked to an AWESOME design for a Sherlock Holmes book cover.

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.
