Jan. 7th, 2013 10:57 amGood morning everyone and welcome to Radio Free Monday! Sorry it's late, I overslept. (I may be coming down with something.)
Ways To Give:

such_heights's friend fizzyblogic died suddenly before christmas, and now his husband ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
leanwellback is facing financial difficulties. You can read more about his situation and donate to help him and their cats here.
Deidra linked to Initiala, who has just lost her job and is trying to make ends meet and stay afloat selling funny and fannish things at Redbubble.
Jenny let me know that I should probably anticipate that, since most of New South Wales and a good portion of Tasmania is on fire, people will be wanting aid links. For now, until the fires are contained and damage assessed, your best bet is probably Australian Red Cross, but if you'd like to post other aid links in the comments as well please feel free.
idancewithlife let me know that Aviva Lev-Davis is completing a Ph.D in psychology focusing on the shadow that divides her home city of Jerusalem. As part of her dissertation she is making a weekly journey with Palestinian and Israeli women to explore their city together, and is asking for donations in return for updates on her project. You can watch her video explaining the project here and her donation site is here.
phi linked to kythryne's request for book/tv/fic reccs to read while recovering from brain surgery. They're also looking for knitting patterns and accepting yarn donations. Check it out here if you'd like to recc something!
moyakite has a kickstarter going for her novel "Veracity: The Lies Unravel". She's reached her goal but you know kickstarter, get in on the ground floor and you can get treats, plus it's supporting the arts.
iamshadow's friend ksol1460 is still raising money to have their foster kitten spayed and is at this point still about $175 from their goal. You can read about Foxy and make donations here.
Just For Fun:
sanura, who many of you may know from her cover of Star Spangled Man (download here, with her permission), has just released her first for-pay composition. You can read about it here and listen to it here for free; you only pay if you download, which you can do here. I think 99 cents for that song is a damn good price.
Chai wanted me to let folks know that they've extended the sound-checks for the Dead Isle Podfic Project and thus the auditions are still open. There will be new posts up today at![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
deadislepodfic, ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
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!
moyakite passed along a link to a list of "science fictions" that have become or are becoming "science fact".
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.
