Please help Burrow
You probably know Burrow of Angry for a Reason (aka Lost Clown), but if you’ve forgotten, here’s a reminder: she’s that wonderful feminist blogger who hosted the 11th Carnival of Feminists back in March. Burrow did a fantastic job of choosing and presenting a broad selection of posts, and thanks to her, several new feminist voices in the blogosphere connected with audiences for the first time.
Now Burrow’s in a jam. Her laptop was stolen, and as a graduate student on a limited income, she simply doesn’t have the money to replace it. A blogger without a computer, I don’t need to tell you, is like a photographer without a camera. So let’s take this opportunity to repay Burrow’s contribution to the feminist blogosphere by chipping in to help her get another laptop.
Burrow has set up an Amazon Honor System account to accept donations to her laptop-replacement fund. It’s very easy — you just use your credit card to contribute whatever amount you like, from $1.00 on up. Every little bit helps! And any excess contributions will go to a local domestic violence/sexual assault hotline in Burrow’s area. (If for any reason her blog is down when you read this, here’s the link to go directly to the Amazon page to make a contribution: Amazon Honor System contribution page for Angry for a Reason (Lost Clown).)
Burrow’s also selling her artwork, mostly limited edition lithographs, so if you’d like to add to your art collection and support feminist blogging at the same time, now’s your chance.
It’s never easy to ask for help, and I’m sure Burrow feels a little abashed about her situation. Let’s show her our support!

Yeah, as I mentioned, I had a hard time not saying, “Well, it’s not like she’s going to use the laptop to plagiarize with, you know?” (Long, specific fandom case.)
