The Egyptian goddess Isis was celebrated as the ideal wife and mother. The blogger known as Dr. Isis has some fancy-sounding degrees and is a physiologist at a major research university working on some terribly impressive stuff. She blogs about balancing her research career with the demands of raising small children, how to succeed as a woman in academia, and anything else she finds interesting. Also, she blogs about shoes. In fact, she blogs a lot about shoes.


...And behold, he raised the motherfucking Jameson on high as Isis bedecked her feet in glory, and the masses were sated. -- The Holy Gospel According to PhysioProf

Go Help Ethan Raise Money. He's Shaving His Head, or Something.

Posted on: July 19, 2009 10:18 PM, by Isis the Scientist

Ethan of Starts With a Bang posted this:

You see, I believe that if a lot of people get involved with something positive, even if it's just a little bit, we can make a tremendous change. So I have a challenge for everyone who reads this.

Donate at least ten dollars (or ten euros, or ten pounds, or whatever's the closest equivalent in your currency) or volunteer at least four hours at whatever charitable organization you choose.
When you do it, leave a comment at the bottom of this post, telling us:
  1. what you donated/volunteered to do,
  2. what organization you donated to/volunteered for, and
  3. why you chose that organization.
When I get 100 unique comments from people who have done this, I will shave my head.

So, open your wallets, throw your $10 here, here, here, here, or somewhere else and then go tell Ethan you did it.

But here is my warning, little scones.  I don't want to hear that you're posting shit you're already doing.  This needs to be novel giving.  Open up your pocketbooks, little muffins, for Ethan. 

The dude said he'd shave his head, after all.  Haven't you seen his Fabio-esque locks???

If his hair really is 'Fabio-esque ...I hope he arranges to donate it to an organization like this.
