For @your-catfish-friend for the @911fanworksfestival hope you like it ❤️

Summary:

“You’re quite the hero,” Buck says. His voice borders on flirtatious, and if they were anywhere else, Tommy would be stepping up to his level, maybe even kicking up the flirting a notch. But the sirens of the engine blare, reminding him of where they are. He reels himself in, not letting himself get carried away in thoughts of what might happen if they were anywhere else. “Aren’t we all?” he asks, trying to sound nonchalant. Buck doesn’t buy it, his eyes lingering on Tommy, reading him and breaking down those walls. Thankfully, Chim starts asking Buck basic questions about where he’s from and what brought him out to LA, distracting him until they reach their location. But even with the moment of reprieve, Tommy knows that Evan Buckley is going to be trouble. - Or: Tommy never left the 118, and nothing could have prepared him for Evan Buckley.

eddie calls buck when chris is asleep in his own bed. the one he carted 800 miles all the way from texas without even knowing if chris would ever want to sleep in it again. and he's just bubbling bursting with joy. and buck can see it the moment he accepts the call. and eddie tells him everything. all the way down to how much chris hates chess. and buck goes. oh thank god i've been trying to learn but i'm terrible at it eddie i don't understand a thing and i can never remember how the pieces move. and eddie blinks for a little while. you were learning chess? buck voice. well yeah i wanted to be able to play with him if i ever came to visit but i'm deleting that stupid app from my phone as we speak and i'm sure hen and chim are going to be so happy to be relieved of their teaching duties. and eddie is just silently falling a little more in love.

RETIRED #LAFD FIND NEW PURPOSE ON SET OF ABC HIT "9-1-1"

Current and retired Los Angeles Fire Department firefighters are exercising new muscles on the set of the mega-hit ABC television drama "9-1-1." They're using their expertise and experience to work alongside the show's stars to keep what you see on TV as close to real-life as possible. Watch as we go behind the scenes of season eight to talk to the firefighters and actors on the show about working together to represent the department authentically.

For the brave men and women of the LAFD, should anything ever happen to them during a lifetime of service, the Widows, Orphans & Disabled Firefighter’s Fund is here to fulfill their needs. As a nonprofit 501(c)(3) charity founded more than a century ago, our organization is dedicated to helping the families of LAFD firefighters facing a crisis, such as being injured or killed in the line of duty.

Firefighters have unique needs due to the inherent dangers and high-stakes nature of their profession. Thanks to kind and generous contributions, the Widows, Orphans & Disabled Firefighter’s Fund makes a significant impact, aiding with items such as basic living expenses, health insurance premiums, durable medical equipment, and awarding memorial scholarships to children of firefighters who died while active duty

‘You should only send hearts to ppl you’re romantically involved with’

WRONG! BOUNDLESS PLATONIC LOVE, WARMTH, AND ENTHUSIASM BE UPON YE!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

anyway as much as i wanted eddie to yell at her, i love love love that he just calmly blows by her to get chris's stuff, that he doesn't get sucked into the argument she's trying to have, that he's just so obviously and clearly done letting her set the terms of their relationship. he's done auditioning for her approval, and she can have whatever feelings she has about it, but it's not his problem anymore

being so fr with you all we need to drastically accelerate anti-car propaganda.

we need to make it so clear to future generations that we no longer tolerate a world where you cannot conveniently go for a walk or get a coffee or get groceries without a car

Hey OP (or anyone else actually, not just OP), we're genuinely curious: has anyone ever come up with how to assist those that are bedbound or housebound because of being disabled/disordered and do legitimately need delivery, specific kinds of transport, stuff like that to survive? Right now a lot of those folks rely on walmart deliveries and stuff which is shitty but there isn't a better choice, which is incredibly unfortunate.

We don't usually see an answer to this question and we refuse to let eugenics be the answer so we would appreciate if someone can explain to us if anything has been thought of.

I think "anti-car" doesn't have to mean "no cars ever" it should mean "cars should not be the primary means of transportation when other solutions are available." It's okay if there are still roads and delivery services and taxis and things of that nature - we're not trying to abolish cars completely. What needs to end is the over-reliance on cars when much more efficient solutions exist for needs like commuting, intercity/crosscountry travel, etc. We do not need every city to have huge multi-lane roads cutting through the center of town. People should not need to sit in highways full of traffic burning huge amounts of gas for an hour or more every day to get to and from work. We do not need to build sprawling housing developments composed of acres and acres of single-family homes with no mixed-use zoning and no bus service.

no shade meant to @anendoandfriendo, genuinely, but your comment kinda came off as sort of a condescending non-sequitur/thought terminating cliche here.

i absolutely agree that it's important to ask "how will this include/accommodate disabled people?" and to not accept eugenics in the name of "the environment";

however i think that the original post doesn't really leave out disabled people (despite, i guess, the wording "go for a walk"? idk?)

a disabled person who is a wheelchair user, or home/bed bound, and relies on things like deliveries to survive is still someone who benefits from a reduction in reliance on cars!

the delivery industry is only dominated by couriers driving cars because our world has been built to rely on cars. believe it or not, delivery systems can and will adapt to communities designed for walking, biking, and public transit.

wheelchair users will enjoy safer, more navigable environments with cleaner air when cars are not the default.

the reliance on cars is a product of capital, and it has negatively shaped our environment for too long. transitioning away to alternate forms of transit benefits everyone!
