More Joy Day?

Apparently today is More Joy Day.  Who knew?  First off, I don't have a thread on [livejournal.com profile] help_haiti  but a few of my flisters do and it seems like a groovy thing.  Check it out if you think you might be interested.  But if not, there are other options!  Cribbed from various places around the internet:

Text 'HAITI' to 90999 to donate $10 to Red Cross relief efforts or text "Yele" to 501501 to donate $5 to the Yele Haiti Earthquake Fund (it will be charged to your cell phone bill) or you can visit www.yele.org and click 'donate'.

From MoveOn.org:
These three charities, and many others, are providing care. If you can contribute to help fund their emergency efforts, please do.

* Doctors Without Borders

* Oxfam America

* Yéle Haiti

And now, a few things that have brought me joy.  Some fandom, some not.

A fic: The Right Words by roofietoof.  Previously recced in my 'Pearls of the Pit' post, this story makes me smile every time.  Seriously.  Lee compares Kara to a turkey sandwich and hilarity ensues.
A picspam: 100 Reasons Why Starbuck Is Awesome by em_meredith
A website: Dinosaur Comics!
A video: Tina Fey on Sesame Street

Hee, the vid made me smile!

I read "The Right Words" for the first time a couple of days ago (thanks for the rec!), and I am with you, it's completely happy-making :)

And that picspam... I love it! (but it made me more nostalgic than happy, I must admit --sniff. I miss Starbuck so much!

Tina Fey ftw! That was so cute. :) Thanks for the links--it has been too long since I read "The Right Words."

It's great to see how quickly the relief fundrasing for Haiti have gotten under way--one of the benefits of our technology-obsessed world today!
