The petition to free Alber Saber has now reached nearly 2,300 signers. Thanks to everyone who shared it with friends! Please continue to spread the word. I’m currently in contact with friends of Alber as well as with staff at Change.org who are helping me promote the petition and get it into the right hands. With some perseverance, we have a real chance of helping Alber find justice.

On a much, much less serious note, you have just less than a week to place your pre-order for the ridiculous and limited edition “Their Hate Makes Me Grow Stronger” tee, designed by the famed and talented Maggie McFee. Thanks to everyone who has ordered thus far!

Oh and one more reminder! I will be in Edmonton this weekend, talking about women’s intuition! Good times shall be had by all.

  1. Cool! I can get my iPad autographed! Marking calender. I might be able to make the trip up to Mansfield as well. Organizing skills… that why Colin runs the Science Meetups and I can barely get my crap together to attend them.

  2. Great to see you will be in Louisville. Another place you may want to try to see before moving on South is the Waverly Hills Sanitorium, oft claimed to be haunted. And while it obviously isn’t, it is a pretty creepy building in a pretty creepy setting.

  3. Noooooo the one day I have to go out of town for family stuff is the day Rebecca comes to Edmonton! Sadness. ;___; You’re only in town for the one day, I assume?

  4. So glad you are stopping in Cincinnati! I’ve got the observatory event on my calendar, hope I can line up a baby sitter!
