Just a reminder from Ye Olde gamer and Pagan that Gloria Steinem was an unabashed cheerleader for the Satanic Panic.

Happy to see that we've raised nearly $10K for World Central Kitchen ( @wck.org ) in just under two days, but we can do more, I think (remember you can adjust your donation sliders so they get more of the take). Also, you know: Lots of my books! Go get 'em.
