Good morning all, and welcome to Radio Free Monday!

Ways To Give:

Claire linked to Paige, who is trying to raise money for a wheelchair so that she can get out of her house more than once a week. You can read more about her difficulties (especially since insurance won't pay for a wheelchair, wtf) at the link.

[personal profile] amadi linked to [personal profile] lone_lilly, who is fundraising here to help move herself and her mother out of a toxic situation and into a much better one.

Housing!

[livejournal.com profile] eruvadhril linked to Hayley and Darren, who are desperately seeking housing in SW London to get away from their unsafe, threatening landlady.

[livejournal.com profile] omlteaufromage is looking for two or three fannish roommates to help search for apartments in Brooklyn and move in together starting July 1. They're looking for at least a year, $650/person, no lofts or railroad apartments. You can read more and get in touch here.

[livejournal.com profile] mamculuna has a friend who has just gotten a job in Chicago and is looking for a place to sublet or housesit or be a temporary roommate while she gets to know the city. You can check out [livejournal.com profile] mamculuna's original post for more info and to contact her about getting in touch.

News To Know:

[livejournal.com profile] heidi8 had an informative post about last week's Amazon post at her Intellectual Property Law tumblr. There's also a good reply to it here.

Just For Fun:

[livejournal.com profile] mycatsellsclues linked to a great archive of vintage mug-shots from the 1920s.

[personal profile] jjhunter linked to the Words And Deeds Love Meme 3, where you can put down your name or a friend's name for complimentary comments and celebration.

[personal profile] sailorsol linked to Tag Frenzy, an all-fandom, all-fanworks challenge promoting the use of unloved tags on AO3. They're putting the word out about nominations for the first poll for what tags to offer. The link goes to the official tumblr page, which includes links to the nominating, voting, and the AO3 collection.

[livejournal.com profile] soul_cake_duck linked to The Open Crowd Project: "A collaborative project using 3D scanning and printing technology to create a “crowd” of people printed with 3D printers."

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!).
WONDER OF WONDERS. The laundry service called me back!

This is my fifth call to them.

Laundry Service Guy: You wanted us to call you?
Me: Yeah, I need to cancel my service and get my keys back.
LSG: May I ask why?
Me: Well, you haven't picked up on time in five weeks, haven't picked up at all in the last two, and I haven't been able to get a return call in a month.
LSG: Uh. Okay. Is there anything I can do to change your mind?
Me: No. I'm pretty much done with you guys.
LSG: *clearly giving up* Would you like us to mail you your keys?
Me: That would be great.

I would have asked for a month of free service but God knows if I'd get it, plus I keep hearing stories about them losing laundry and I can't be having with that.

So, I don't have to call my landlord and ask him how much to change the locks.

Now if I could just get any of the other laundry companies to call me back about starting service...
Title: Hard Rock Swing
Rating: PG/R (R in the last part only)
Warnings: Some discussion of depression/PTSD including references to suicidal ideation.
Summary: It turns out, in the 21st century, Steve's best friend is an eighteen-year-old genius named Tony Stark. This might be trouble.
Notes: Written for Ironfries on tumblr, who wanted a young Tony with an older Steve. It incorporated many from the List Of Marr's Favourite Things, which I deduced by reading her Tumblr: Tony being tiny, age differences, Steve crying, butts, and blankets (many).

AND NOW, SOME MORE FANFIC. In lieu of actual content. My life. *hands*
