Rusty chainsaw, meet cancer. And FUCK OFF.
If only there was a profit in CURING cancer instead of just "raising awareness" and creating expensive drugs that only "treat" it.
Nothin'. I just wanted you to face me so she could get behind ya.

There are so many different kinds of cancer, I don't think there's just one cure.

I know Connie. There is just no incentive, other than a healthy populous, to curing any of them. And all parties concerned have clearly shown that they are most interested in profit.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Why wouldn't there be profit in a cure, at least for the more common types of cancer?

Suzi, there would totally be profit in a cure. But "cancer" is super complex and even any given type ("breast", "lung") is so different and everyone responds differently to different things. They'd charge an arm and a leg for it (see cure for Hep C) but if we were able to find a cure, they'd totally do that.

How is Mom doing, Epic?
About as well as can be expected, I think. Still in pain, but they had her up walking today, so hopefully improving.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Sending ~ma for your mom, Epic.

So people...I don't know what to do with this, if anything. P-C is back, and one of his stories is up on Galaxy's Edge.
It's his ita story.
I hate that he's making bank off a relationship that didn't really exist, but it's not like I can go to the editor and be all "he's lying." That's in part because it's fiction, duh, and in part because the editor is a Sad Puppy supporter, of the "why are women even AT cons if not to be raped?" type.

Ugh. Just take comfort in knowing that people who lie down with dogs get fleas?
