James Baldwin tote to support Harlem Stage.

I'm a big fan of the Out of Print store. (Where else can you get an Isaac Asimov "I, Robot" shirt?) Thus, I have to give them a shout out for this fab James Baldwin promotion benefitting Harlem Stage.

We are pleased to donate $5 for each Go Tell It on the Mountain tote bag sold during February to Harlem Stage. Harlem Stage is a leading New York City performing arts center supporting the work of gifted artists of color.  In partnership with Columbia University School of Arts, New School/Vera List Center for Art and Politics, Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture and numerous other collaborators, Harlem Stage is presenting The Year of James Baldwin, a 14-month city-wide celebration.

Tiny Sweaters For Injured Penguins

I will NEVER tire of seeing penguins in tiny sweaters. Ever. Especially penguins in tiny Penguin sweaters.

Knit a Sweater, Help a Penguin in Need.

AAAUGH. How cute is this?? If I could knit, I'd be making a penguin sweater tonight.


A recent oil spill on New Zealand’s coast has left the environment and wildlife in shambles — including the local blue penguin population. While volunteers are working hard to rescue and clean the animals in the region, they require a little bit of crafty help: tiny sweaters, or penguin pajamas, for the rescued birds. These woolen sweaters keep oil-soaked birds warm until they’re well enough to be cleaned and prevent them from ingesting oil from their feathers.
