Because ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) aiwendel to my shame actually pimped this before I did, despite the fact that I, y'know, WORK THERE.
(Although I did get them to put collecting boxes in the coffee selling places at Sky :) I'm really pleased about that! They were doing 2 coffees for the price of 1 on the basis that you then donate the price of the free coffee to Rainforest Rescue, but they hadn't actually put boxes there for people to do that... !)

Every £10 donated helps to save 500 trees. To kickstart the project, Sky will match donations pound for pound, up to a joint target of £4 million.
(Yep, you read that right!)

I still can't get over how awesome you were at I, Camp! And I don't just mean the acting, though that too :)

I’m sure a lot of you know about this because there’s been massive press coverage, celebrities signing up (including the entire Cabinet), etc, but this:
http://1010uk.org
is a site where people and organisations are pledging to cut their carbon emissions by 10% in 2010. It also acts as a massive petition to UK politicians and the wider world.
They’ve got 10,000 people already, and are now asking everyone who’s signed up to recruit 10 people today - and then ask those people to recruit another 10, which would make a million, by the end of the weekend.
If you’re interested, please:
1 – Sign up at the link above
2 – Tell me, so I know how many of my 10 I’ve got :)
3 – Go forth and recruit another 10
Thank you!

Free fruit and nuts by post if you go to https://www.graze.com/ and enter this code: GWB4H8C
It's an upmarket healthy snack enterprise which is giving out freebies - someone at work gets it and I can confirm that the food looks delicious!

Would anyone be kind enough to offer crashspace or at least workspace in/near London to the lovely lonescorpion while he sorts some stuff out?

Anyone seen Cath's signed copy of Stardust? You'll know it's hers because it's dedicated to Catherine. Looks like this:
Thanks!

| Wishing I hadn't just deleted my 'grr' icon |
[04 Jul 2008|10:32am] |
Emotional rollercoaster!
Teary-eyed joy at news that pregnant transguy Thomas Beatie just had a healthy little girl, rapidly followed by rage at the comments on this article.
Not ONE positive comment. Not one person who wanted to offer congratulations. I've commented, but there's obviously a lag and it hasn't showed up yet, while two other negative comments have.
Please go forth and comment, people. I suggest we don't engage with the transphobes but simply blitz the article with joy and congratulations, so that if and when the new parents get to it, they won't be met with wall-to-wall hate.
Edit: Just called the news department and told them to keep an eye on the comments on there. :)

Thank you all for the multi-person virtual pounce that descended on my last post. I'm flattered and slightly bemused that people remain that pleased to see me. I do indeed exist but I'm afraid I have VERY little internet access until some time in September.

I'm sure most of you are aware of this, but I'm feeling the need to spread the word. Apparently LJ is now permanently deleting what they consider 'questionable content' without warning and banning the users. This doesn't necessarily mean illegal content. Two people were banned on Friday for posting Harry Potter smut art (smut between consenting adults, no less.) The LJ management are basically reserving the right to delete anything they consider too sexual if it 'has no artistic or literary value.' They're also refusing to define 'questionable content' or how they're judging literary and artistic merit.
A lot of useful info can be found here:
http://community.livejournal.com/fandom_flies/
and here:
http://fandomtossed.greatestjournal.com/
and there are links to more useful info within both.

I'm in Cambridge this weekend and am free Saturday afternoon and Sunday morning/afternoon and would like to catch up with people. I'd also appreciate crashspace on the Saturday night should any be going spare. :) Please drop me a comment/email, or anyone wishing to make arrangements after 5pm tomorrow, please call me on 07778 505468.
