Xander: How? What? How? Giles: Three excellent questions.

Xander/Giles ,'Never Leave Me'


Spike's Bitches 49: As usual, I'm here to help you, and I... are you naked under there?

Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Because books.

The thread ended with a glorious outpouring of White Nonsense and I SAID GOOD DAY, SIR! gifs and concerned inquires as to whether his penis got diseases from the Chumash tribe and all is well.

Oh god, the whiteness is really sad, but this made me laugh and laugh.

But, holy crap, such whiteness, the indignation, the paternalism, the caucasity of it all. Have we always been like this? Why does anyone even bother talking to us? We suck!

Well put!

Herding cats for fun

Oy.

We have always been like this. It was just never safe to tell us that, because we don't listen/don't believe it/and "prove" how woke we are by engaging in even more racist bullshit. (I mean, it's *still* not safe to tell us, by and large, but it seems to be filtering out a bit.)

Unrelated, Tim could use some This Drug Will Be Effective~ma today. He's starting his 4th drug for rheumatoid arthritis, since drugs 1, 2, and 3 weren't effective enough. This is apparently really common among people with RA, but it's still super frustrating.

Drugs 1 and 2 were injections he did at home once a week, drug 3 was a pill, and this one is a 2-hour infusion. He keeps calling it his "Deadpool treatment." So I might finally be married to a superhero after all. (Trufax: when I was a kid I wanted to marry Spider-Man. And Deadpool's costume is a lot like Spider-Man's costume, so 5-year-old me will accept that as a substitute.)

Seriously, though. He needs this to work. It's definitely possible for RA to go into remission, but finding the right drug has been really challenging. So the ~ma is welcome.

Really I don't know why it was a double post. Huh.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

This Drug Will Be Effective~ma is headed Tim's way from Colorado!

I feel 75% human today. Could be due to a full night's sleep and a shower this morning, time will tell.

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

Much drug~ma for Tim.

And JZ, that was a post of masterfulness, and yes, we have always been this way. We inch, snail-like, toward betterment. Or at least I live in hope that we do. If 45's administration has caused wreckage and despair on nearly every side, I do believe it has also thrown our feet of clay into full and well-lit relief, made us confront at least some of our egregious behavior and realize that *we* need to change.
