Good morning everyone, and welcome to Radio Free Monday!

Ways to Give:

Anon linked to a fundraiser for Animal Umbrella, a Boston area cat shelter which has had to relocate unexpectedly, and are looking for donations towards a new building. You can read more about the relocation here or at their facebook or give to the fundraiser here.

[tumblr.com profile] katestamps's partner, twitch user Tazerone, is raising money for Children's National Health System via a 25-hour video game marathon for Extra Life, starting at 8am EST on 11/5. You can watch the marathon at his twitch page or donate through his Extra Life page here.

[livejournal.com profile] editrx has been struggling to keep her indy bookstore afloat for this past year, and on top of her troubles there, she's now been the subject of a violent assault by her housemate. She's dealing with mounting medical bills and trauma from the assault and needs a lawyer to ensure her attacker is charged properly and convicted. You can read more and give here, send a giftcard for groceries (to editrx@gmail.com) or support Starcat Books by purchasing here.


News to Know:

Ang linked to a transcript of a talk by Maciej Ceglowski (the Pinboard creator) on fandom and fan culture, Fan is a Tool Using Animal. I've read it and referenced it before, and I think it's a great explication of the way fan culture works, especially when platforms fail us and new ones arise to take their place.


And this has been Radio Free Monday! Thank you for your time. You can post items for my attention at the Radio Free Monday submissions form or via email 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!). If you're new to fundraising, you may want to check out my guide to fundraising here.
