Lynn Siprelle to the blogosphere : I'm not dead yet

Lynn Siprelle died on Mother's Day at 9:50 pm.

Don't worry. The prognosis is good. She gets a defibrillator today in the afternoon (PST). That means though, she will have a long way to recovery. Two more weeks in the hospital and maybe another 3 or 4 more weeks before she can resume working.

Lynn needs our help.

Lynn has given a lot to the blogosphere. It's time to give some back.

Whether it is as the publisher The New Homemaker, Hip Mama, the two oldest and largest community blogs for progressive women; the evil genius behind Dean speaks for me and Oregon Media Insiders; as a volunteer trainer and developer for CivicSpaceLabs and Drupal; or as the lead developer of the YearlyKos website, Lynn has given to the blogosphere in spades.

It's in times like these we can show her our appreciation.

I am going to have this button up until the end of the month. I really have not thought about hitting a goal. If you think we should set a dollar amount and go for that until we reach it, please let me know.

What if you can't shell out a few bucks for her now? Don't worry. Just spread the word and help (and a few bucks) will soon follow.

Thanks.

Words to live by

There's no question that in my lifetime, the contrast between what I called private affluence and public squalor has become very much greater. What do we worry about? We worry about our schools. We worry about our public recreational facilities. We worry about our law enforcement and our public housing. All of the things that bear upon our standard of living are in the public sector. We don't worry about the supply of automobiles. We don't even worry about the supply of foods. Things that come from the private sector are in abundant supply; things that depend on the public sector are widely a problem. We're a world, as I said in The Affluent Society, of filthy streets and clean houses, poor schools and expensive television. I consider that contrast to be one of my most successful arguments.
