BOOST

next month, i'll donate part of my royalties, and anything anyone paypals me (from now up until the end of january), to the christopher house, a place in chicago that helps provide school supplies and other help to low-income families.  i won't keep any of the money, and we can donate it anonymously, with a tribute name to prove the dollar amount.    paypal any donations to   sampinkisalive at  gmail dot com    any help spreading this would be appreciated.

Open Your Eyes, You Sons of Bitches

a while ago i traded mandy zeller a book for some money and a pair of socks. mandy knit the socks herself.  i recommend trying to get socks off her.  mine have a pocket in them and are strong enough, seemingly, to like, nail to your ceiling and do pull-ups with. i also like how they look. (almost typed 'i look how they like!!!! haha weird). mandy's socks are really good in harsh winter conditions. objectively the best pair of socks i've ever owned, no maybe about it.
