Button Sunday: Happy Earth Day

This is from my own personal button collection. I got it at work in the 1990s. Ironically, my employer was one of the world’s top polluters. That’s all I’ll say about that.

We’ll continue to do the things we’ve been doing to reduce our negative effects on our beautiful planet. But in honor of the day, we did a few other things.

Messages from a busy writer

Todd, thanks for the Earth Day card. =) You are always so thoughtful. Someday I will have to tell you and Chaos the white ferret story.

Greg–that cover is smokin’!

And Mark. Oh, Mark. Do you have a copy of Comfort & Joy lying around the house? Yes? I think you should find it and check out pages 38-39.

Linda, if you are reading this, thanks for your willingness to help. As I get to that part of what I’m writing, I just may take you up on your offer of information. And you will be added to the acknowledgments that a certain reader in the northeast fears will one day be longer than our novels.

Finally, whoever was the jokester that hooked up one of my e-mail addresses with an anti-gay marriage site, I have unsubscribed and have a bonus button for you:

Day of Silence

Today, April 18, marks the eleventh annual Day of Silence.

From the web site, The Day of Silence is an annual event held to bring attention to anti-LGBT bullying, harassment, and discrimination in schools. Students and teachers nationwide will observe the day in silence to echo the silence that LGBT and ally students face everyday. In its 11th year, the Day of Silence is one of the largest student-led actions in the country.

This day seems particularly poignant to me during this week when we’ve seen hate shatter the tranquility of a gracious campus in Virginia. All of our children deserve to be safe and feel valued in all of our schools all of the time.
