Justine Bateman's Kickstarter

“I am self-publishing a book of poetry and artwork I created in my 20’s called ‘Violence + Feathers.’ I worked as an actress on a very popular TV show in the 80’s called FAMILY TIES. This book was created a short time after that series ended as I was acting in films and plays.”
 — It’s Justine Bateman’s Kickstarter! Will she make it? “THIS PROJECT WILL ONLY BE FUNDED IF AT LEAST $19,000 IS PLEDGED BY SATURDAY OCT 29, 11:01AM EDT”! Preemptive note that the Internet requires, due to the “problem of conveying tone”: I am bringing this up as a fascinating piece of the cultural moment, not as an overt invitation to be snippy or catty. It’s actually also quite possibly an intriguing document!
