You ever want evidence that the Internet is six trillion kinds of awesome, you need look no further than this video, which is a whole lot of ladies shouting out their love and support to a dying boy <\/a>who they’ve never met.<\/p>\n

And then check out all the tweets in the #TutusForTanner Twitter stream<\/a>, and watch the ongoing discussion – between people from all over, everywhere, Canada, the US, and beyond – about who’s going to be wearing tutus for Tanner and who’s auctioning stuff to raise money for Tanner<\/a> and who’s put together a book for Tanner<\/a> and who’s running around Central Park over and over and over again, in a tutu<\/a>, for Tanner.<\/p>\n

And let your heart swell.<\/p>\n

Oh, and she blogs: in addition to Bad Mother blogging at BeliefNet, she is, among other things, the author of HerBadMother.com, the moderator of Her Bad Mother\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Basement, the co-founder and co-editor of WeCovet, a contributing writer\/editor at MamaPop and BlogHer, and most recently (deep breath) founder of and contributor to Canada Moms Blog.
