A topless model the Tea Party should see, grandmas who dig rap music, and Ron Paul supporters everywhere: As of Saturday, MoJo’s Josh Harkinson is camping out in Zuccotti Park, and we’re collecting his dispatches and other #OWS must reads below, using Storify. Read on for much more.

Also, don’t miss the rest of MoJo’s coverage: Meet the activists who created “We Are the 99 Percent”; check out the former Obama blogger who scorned the protesters until he joined them; explore our interactive map of protest hot spots nationwide; and more.

GREAT JOURNALISM, SLOW FUNDRAISING

Our team has been on fire lately—publishing sweeping, one-of-a-kind investigations, ambitious, groundbreaking projects, and even releasing “the holy shit documentary of the year.” And that’s on top of protecting free and fair elections and standing up to bullies and BS when others in the media don’t.

Yet, we just came up pretty short on our first big fundraising campaign since Mother Jones and the Center for Investigative Reporting joined forces.

So, two things:

1) If you value the journalism we do but haven’t pitched in over the last few months, please consider doing so now—we urgently need a lot of help to make up for lost ground.

2) If you’re not ready to donate but you’re interested enough in our work to be reading this, please consider signing up for our free Mother Jones Daily newsletter to get to know us and our reporting better. Maybe once you do, you’ll see it’s something worth supporting.
