Apr. 14th, 2014 07:55 amGood morning everyone, and welcome to Radio Free Monday!
Our email servers at work are down this morning, as are our shared drives, which means literally all I can do while at work is dick around on the internet. Oh, dear.

zana16's friend bee were in need of a safe, queer/trans friendly place for himself, his husband, and their cat to stay; they've found a place in Minnesota but need help getting there from New York, primarily funding for moving costs and food. You can read more about how to help, donate, or purchase from their Etsy store here.
secondsilk linked to torachan's fundraiser for a friend who is in the first steps of escaping an abusive relationship. You can read more about the situation here, or support the GoFundMe here.
Nicole has been accepted to the Clarion Writing Workshop, a six-week workshop focused on speculative fiction and taught by professional writers and editors. She is running an Indiegogo to make up the difference between the scholarship she received and the full tuition; she's offering fun perks like ebooks and hardcopies of short stories, plus t-shirts and baked goods. You can read more and check out her IndieGoGo here.
Nicole also linked to a fundraiser for Haralambi Markov, a Bulgarian writer who is also raising funds to attend Clarion (including the cost of airfare and visa fees). You can read more and support his fundraising here.
Joanna linked to a petition asking Amazon to stop supporting the Boy Scouts, inspired by the recent removal of a scoutmaster for being gay.
News To Know:

happi_feet linked to an article about what you can't buy with food stamps (hint: it's a lot). It also has suggestions for starting a "personal care closet" to help provide these items to your local community center or food bank. This particular article is focused on LGBTQ needs, but the same needs apply across all kinds of people who are living below the poverty line.
charloween wanted to let everyone know about VidUKCon, a UK-based vidder con now in its fourth year. Taking place in Cardiff Bay from Friday 27 June to Sunday 29 June, it's a chance to gather and see vid shows, premiere new vids, and attend awesome panels. Early bird membership ends 27 April; supporting memberships can be purchased which provide access to a live stream of the weekend and a DVD of new vids. You can read more about attendance and membership here.
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!).
