I could totally touch a spider.
Giles! I accidentally killed Spike. That's okay, right?

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
Cmon, scola. Come touch a spider with me!

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix
We have lots and lots of spiders around this fall for people to touch.
You know what I love about that comic? This comment down the page:
Wow. I never really understood what proper, actual depression felt like until this post. I think I've been a bit of a shit friend to my friends who have it. Soz dudes. :(
Ally is amazing and that comic is terribly sad but it's also awesome, and important.
{{hugs Tom}}

Oof. I think I'll save reading that one for later. Hugs to you Tom. (But not spider hugs. Unless you like that kind of thing.)

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
Maria, I just don't think I am a "good with the general public person" others could probably verify. I didn't mean to sound short. (although I am short, in stature. Steph, do you see what I did there?)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
As well as wanting to hug Tom, I kinda feel for Jilli right now.
Man, I can't get a call back. And when I do get a call back, I have an incredibly convoluted thing to explain that I'm not looking forward to. But I need the answer! Can't put shit off! Call me back, dammit!

Aww, Tom. Many hugs.
Y'all go with the badass spider-touching. I now have a contact list for when one is looming on the ceiling over my bed. Awesome.
Ally is amazing and that comic is terribly sad but it's also awesome, and important.
Yes.

Yes, I totally spaced on The Damned flaking. Sorry, Jilli. That sucks, big time.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Thanks guys, I'm OK. And I've totally touched spiders. My spider story is probably too gross to tell here.

Now I'm curious.
