If so, how do you combat this indifference and disinterest as an organization/photographer? A: MSF: I think we have tried to combat this fatigue with compelling stories about the problem but also real solutions that exist today. We are not talking about a condition requiring a new vaccine to…

don't close the book
Please do all you can to help NYPL. They’re my local library and I give as much as I am able. Please. Reading is important and there are many more services the libraries give to the community. Give back.

Please donate if you can.
It’s overwhelming to keep this site updated with disasters and requests for humanitarian aid every time I blink. There will be some hints as to that as soon as I can write them up. But please, if you see a need, give. Time, money, a shoulder…. please do what you can.

for a cat?!!
Yes. For a cat. Or a dog. Or someone who has touched your heart and wrapped its furry little paws around your neck and given you kisses.
What brought this on? Some snuggles this afternoon with my own kitten and reading that Neil Gaiman (et al) lost Zoe.
The shelter where I adopted my Shadow finds unique ways to find help thanks to the outreach available with “these modern...
Please Support Haiti
Please support those in need in Haiti and all over the world. I think that Stephanie Pearl-McPhee has added a good and very timely reminder for donations pouring in right now. Her words are specific to Médecins Sans Frontières but I’ve seen similar options on other sites as well.
There are directed donation sites set up for Haiti on all of their websites, but I’d like to take a...

causes: Braking the Cycle & Pancreatic-Cancer Walk
I’ll try to regularly highlight an organization or cause that needs some help. Today there will be a bonus of two as two friends are involved with events to raise awareness and needed funding this weekend.
David is participating in Braking the Cycle, a 275 miles ride from Boston to NYC. David has reminded us all that while his ride will end Sunday, AIDS will not.
Kim’s family has...
Intro
I turn 30 this year. I wrote about my goal to knit or crochet 30 preemie hats by the time I turn 30 here on my regular site.
I’ve stalled in this project despite my birthday inching ever closer. My excuses are many and shouldn’t be allowed. I’ve sort of finished 3 hats. I need to finish them and at least 27 more.
