The basics

This post always remains on top. Please scroll down for updates.
What am I doing?
Sending English kids' books to poor schools in Israel, particularly to the Bedouin schools in the Negev.

Why am I doing it?
Because I believe in giving a hand up to needy kids and in the power of communication to break down barriers.

How does this work?
I collect books from whoever has them available (maybe you?) and mail them to my contacts in Israel.

How much does it cost?
Lots! Please donate to this worthy cause and you will get a hand-knit gift for your trouble.

Who am I?
I am just a person with piles of books in her living room and an infinitely-supportive husband. Any people or organizations who want to help out are welcome to join me.

What is I want to read about your knitting and book reviews and cats?
Check out Nina's Books and Stuff. But please come back here for more Israeli Bedouin news and B4I project updates!

I am on your cozy, being teh qt

Tobias is modelling a finished cat cozy, which is going in the mail later today:

I haven't been able to find a non-offensive online explanation of the silly meme this post title is based on, so I am providing one below, as a service to the community.

The original “I am in your base killing your d00ds” statement probably comes from a surprise attack in online gaming. If you have to let the other player know that you are in the process of killing his "dudes," the other player is probably not known for his observation skills or quickness of brain. That is all. Oh, and it's often spelled in Leet (1337) speak.

For mysterious reasons this meme has snowcloned to ludicrous proportions. Cat-related examples are here, here, and here. (Plus here, in what looks like Spanish?)

The rest of title silliness explained here, and here.

Update: There is an inoffensive explanation after all!

Well, most of this post was over my head, but I really like that cozy, Tobias. I wouldn't give it up if I was you. Just claim it and keep it. Oh, and happy WCB.

Tobias knows how important the cause of the cozies is. He is willing to share his good fortune.

I think "being teh qt" means something horrifying in 1337, doesn't it?
Oh, and it is Spanish in your other example.
