I promised the lovely man who bought me lunch that I’d post something that would warm the cockles of somebody’s heart today, and since none of my friends have any heart-cockles at all, I’m going to have to scatter my posts pretty widely in hopes of hitting a soft-cockle-hearted person, so here’s a moving video about recycling.
Enjoy.
Thrills! Spills! It’s positively electric(al)!
This is a Blogathon post. Don’t just sit there, SPONSOR ME!
Read all about it: 
Phones for Fearless is far from finished! With all the great gifts people got over the holidays, we know there will be some used phones, cameras, and other mobile devices kicking around looking for new homes, and we stand ready to provide them!
Donate your old mobile phones to help DTES artists share stories, and tap into life, jobs & family.

I know what you’re asking yourself: you’re sitting there (or standing, or lying, prone or supine as the case may be although it’s not easy to read a computer screen that way but whatever) wondering where I’ve been for the past day or so.
And what have I been doing? Over the past four days, 1000 posts on Twitter and over 300 DMs there between raincoaster and FearlessCity accounts. Something like two dozen blog comments, one Facebook event created, 265 Facebook invitations issued, four or five chat conversations. And today alone, 26 blog posts not counting this one.
And what have I been doing that for?
To connect these:
With these:
Go. Read. Donate. Don’t make me come over there!
