This is awesome and meaningful
Mar. 16th, 2015 08:48 amAs you probably know, Jared has been wonderful, and campaigning to support people who suffer from depression, anxiety and so forth, and against the stigma around that.
This cause - even the very existence of the campaign -
is making such a huge difference.
It's that specific moment when a cause is new enough that just talking about it from the right perspective can literally change a person's life.
The awesome![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
stolen_voices organized an amazing campaign within this campaign, where fans can buy shirts for others, who can't, mostly people who experience this sort of struggle every day, to have something wonderful and meaningful to hold on to, something tangible with them, on their body or such. Anyway. If you feel so inclined, and can, do PM her or to here for more information.
Even more than the shirts, discussing this within fandom, showing support of each other within fandom.... is amazing....even just.
OK. On a personal note. This makes me feel like maybe I am not so much of a freak and a burden. It is amazing for me that people find it cool to - you know - keep fighting - value all of that and think it's awesome.
I do :-) :-)

Your fandom stories are needed!
Two US agencies are holding hearings on copyright reform; enough powerful people (ok, companies) think that copyright law needs changing that this might actually happen. Don't let it happen without fannish voices: the OTW is soliciting stories of how creating transformative works has helped people in day-to-day life, whether that's through building language skills, video editing, writing, coding, or anything else. You don't need to provide personal information, but the more specific the better. You can submit your story through this form. We need to speak up, or we'll be left out.

Go tell your stories!
And if you feel like it, tell me too/tell them on lj too, I want them as well :)

Amanda Palmer Rocks
Jul. 14th, 2013 03:08 amThe Daily Mail made some money, writing about Amanda Palmer's boob falling out of her costume. Cause they're classy like that. This is her awesome response, in song form.
