You're never too old for space camp

@foomatic commissioned this stunningly beautiful piece for my silly little fic by @papurrcat for my birthday. You are too much, my friend, I cannot stop staring at it. Thank you for everything you are and do a thousand times over.

@papurrcat, thank you for an absolute masterpiece I will treasure for the rest of my life. Literally fell off my chair when I saw it (ask April, she was there)

I would still use my turn signals in the Mad Max Wasteland. They'd call me "Signal" because I'd hit my blinker before ramming the enemy hot rods into the side of a desert ravine. I'd use my turn signal every time. They would respect me for this.

"That is Signal, the Last Follower of the Old Law."

I have a client who was diagnosed with literal LIVER CANCER, aka one of the deadliest, and normally so hard to treat. Famously killed David Bowie and Alan Rickman both.

He was given MONTHS to live, but then ended up being one of the first people in the state to get a state of the art infusion therapy for his cancer.

It’s been over a year, and his tumors have shrunk so much they are no longer detectable.

That used to be UNHEARD OF.

Federal funding is the only reason that happened.

Like Jesus Christ.

I kid you not that they found extensive Hamas records monitoring at least 10,000 Gazans. This in a territory that (1) needed to rely on the UN for basic services and (2) failed to provide bomb shelters for civilians, even using an extra hospital storage space that the Israelis had built which could also double as a bomb shelter. And yet somehow none of the civilians were down there when the hospital was attacked. Gaza deserves better than Hamas and the fact that so much of the Western movement has been influenced by them is a shame. Normal governments don't hide their military bases under sensitive civilian targets. Normal governments report civilian casualties separately. They've been using their own people as human shields for years and they finally did something bad enough that it gave Netanyahu the "justification" to shoot through the human shield. "Free Palestine" should include freeing them from Hamas.

Kinda obsessed with Riley and professor Walsh thinking that 17 demon take downs is great. Like the obvious joke is that Buffy has had that on one night but like if I really think about it i wouldn’t be surprised if even Cordelia had more than that by time they graduated and she was armed with nothing but a purse and bad timing
