Jun. 10th, 2013 08:25 amGood morning everyone, and welcome to Radio Free Monday! Short and quick this week...

tealin let me know that the Independent Shakespeare Company out of Los Angeles are running an online fundraising campaign to get the summer season off the ground. She has a writeup here and their fundraising page is here. ISC does great free theatre and outreach, and are well worth supporting as a theatre company. (Some of their folks are from Chicago!)
yamx linked to a fantastic tumblr, Laid Off From The Sun Times. About two weeks ago the Chicago Sun Times decided to fire all its professional photojournalists, and train its journalists to take pictures with their iPhones instead. This blog documents the life of one photojournalist who was laid off, using an iPhone like the one that replaced him.
Jemima is a postgraduate researcher (and member of fandom) currently exploring the ways in which sexual assault is talked about in online fiction. She is conducting a survey of those who read fiction published non-commercially online, and she asked me to invite the Cafe to participate. I know people can be leery of scholarly surveys of fandom, but I've had testimony from a couple of friends that this is a really well done and respectful questionnaire. The front page discusses the content of the survey, though I would warn that rape survivors may find some questions triggery.
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!).
