Nov. 28th, 2014 03:09 pmWhy is it that my leaving my (LED) lamp on warrants a scolding and a threatened fine, but Mom leaving the (much more electric-intensive) TV on warrants jack shit?

so I hear it's wishlist time again
Nov. 28th, 2014 09:32 pmNo obligations, of course. All in good Giftmas cheer.
( and of course I have to be horribly crass and put money at the top of the list, but that really would be the best possible present; next best costs $0, I assure you )
Thank you so much!

Nov. 28th, 2014 10:41 pmA professor of Women's Gender and Sexuality Studies at my fine institution of higher education and also ordained Baptist minister, Dr. Susan Shaw, has published Reflective Faith, which looks potentially really fascinating to any feminist Christian or anyone who would love to be a feminist Christian if only they didn't see feminism and Christianity as conflicting.
I'm so tempted to buy my mother a copy for Giftmas. She will hate it, though.
I'm also tempted to buy me a copy. I can justify it as research for the novel trilogy beginning Abraham's Daughter, right?

Giftmas Open Mic
Nov. 28th, 2014 11:43 pmCome, O Poets, O Singers, O Crafters. Come, O Storytellers, O Comedians, O Essayists. Come, artists of every stripe and every hue, to the microphone.
I cannot show financial support to nearly as many of you brilliant artists as I would like, but I can give you another forum in which to find supporters. Many of you are trying to make at least part of a living off your art, and I want to help you do that. And many of you want to support small businesses, to support independent art and literature and creativity, and I want to help you do that too.
Leave a comment below with a piece of original art you have created, be this a short poem or a flash fiction, a song verse or a brief essay, a sketch or a joke, an excerpt or a pair of earrings. It can be previously published or not, as you choose. Leave also a link to where more art by you may be found, and directions to a Patreon or Paypal, Etsy or website, or other means by which those who like your art and have a bit of money to spare may support you with their wallets. In these comments, please include a subject line consisting of "AT THE MIC:" and your artistic identity.
Leave also a comment linking to a piece of original art some other independent artist has created, someone whose work you recommend and whom you wish to see supported, and a link to where people who like their art and have a bit of money to spare may show support for them. In these comments, please include a subject line consisting of "AUDIENCE:" and their artistic identity.
If you are looking for a particular sort of art, perhaps as a gift (Giftmas is, after all, coming), leave a comment saying what sort of thing you are looking for, and with a bit of luck the Internet indie art community can hook you up. In these comments, please include a subject line consisting of "LOOKING FOR:" and a brief description of what you want to see.
Finally, please signal-boost this post. Every comment below that links to a place where this post has been signal-boosted will receive an Alex Conall haiku or tanka. (Feel free to accompany each linkback notification with a one-word prompt.) Three linkbacks, three haiku.
The microphone awaits you.
