Fundraiser for James Wanless

September 7, 2022 | Filed Under Things I Think About | 2 Comments

Author and teacher James Wanless, our very own Captain Pick-A-Card, creator of the Voyager Tarot and the Sustain Cards deck, needs support. He was violently attacked on August 13, 2022, and is still in serious condition at the hospital. He has severe head trauma, which caused some bleeding on the brain, and two cracked vertebrae in his neck. On Aug 15, James had successful neck surgery and is still on a ventilator. He is battling pneumonia and has started to respond with his eyes. The doctors say he has a long recovery ahead of him. It will be some time before James can work hence the need to raise funds for his living and medical expenses.

His business partner, Julie King, has set up a GoFundMe to help James.

I’m heartbroken—James is such a vibrant, fully alive person, and for him to be in such a state is horrifying, all the more so due to the reason for his condition.

If you can, please donate. Either way, please share the fundraiser, and help support this wonderful person, teacher, and inspiration.

Rachel Pollack’s cancer has recurred, and she has been receiving chemotherapy. On August 20, 2022, she was admitted to the ICU for emergency medical treatment. She is still in the ICU. It’s uncertain when she will be able to go home. Her medical expenses are piling up, and when she is discharged from the hospital, she will need 24/7 care.

If you are a Tarot person, a comics person, a scifi/fantasty reader, a writer, a visual artist, or a jewelry maker, you have something in common with Rachel.

Now is the time to pay Rachel back for all the of wisdom, joy, and art she has brought into this world.

From the bottom of my aching heart, I thank you for reading this, for sharing it, and for donating—whichever of these you can do will help.

Coffee Cup Advice

January 18, 2022 | Filed Under Things I Think About | 1 Comment

My coffee cup has this printed on the bottom:

The bottom of a coffee cup, with various words and images. At the lower edge of the cup, a red arrow has been added, pointing to the words, "For best results, use other side."

 

Some mornings, this is necessary, since I’m trying to make coffee happen before having coffee.
