Things in my Tabs

Highway safety sign becomes running story on immigration (Wow, I've never even seen this sign, but what a story.)

ABC: Strong Support for Gay Marriage Now Exceeds Strong Opposition

MA Times: Market booms for men's cosmetics — but don't call it makeup (brb eyerolling forever)

Rape is Real: Benjamin McCullagh-Dennis of Sydney, New South Wales, Australia, has perpetrated rape and has also knowingly exposed several women to the sexually-transmitted virus HPV (protect your friends if you know anyone in this area)

And a reminder about my book collection! I cover shipping, you cover storing them while I move to California! And maybe you get to read books you wouldn't have read otherwise. Win win.

Help for ephemere!!

I'm not sure who's seen this yet, but there's an auction to raise money to help ephemere!!

This is a fundraiser to benefit ephemere, with the aim of supporting her in the wake of her losing her job, home, and good relations with her family due to homophobia. The idea of this fundraiser was conceived by friends of ephemere, and is being run with her permission. Funds will go to rent, utilities, food, and medical bills.

I'm not sure what to offer yet; in the midst of moving still so I'm unsure what I can for folks.
