Signal Boost: Help Elana Kestrel

[filkertom]

johno tells us of an excellent artist, Elana Kestrel. A good number of you may have her work already: she created the ASCII Jumpgate pins so popular during Babylon 5's Usenet days. (Mine hangs proudly on the pin banner in my bedroom.)

Well, Elana has Stage 4 breast cancer and is in need of some help. And the easiest way to help her is to buy some pins.

Done and done.
Thank you for the heads-up.

I can personally attest to the quality and beauty of the pins - I have White Star #2 and it's one of my proudest possessions.

Elana was also a Callahanian back in the Usenet days. I'll be crossposting this to callahanians when I get home tonight if it hasn't been already.

Shared pain, my friends....

It's Elana... and I have a message of gratitude for all of you. :)

I normally am not into blogging, but I made a livejournal account just for this post:

Enjoy... and be proud... I am deeply grateful for the help you all gave me in December. :)
