I love that Leverage really goes out of it’s way to show us that just because you break the ‘rules’, it doesn’t mean you’re breaking the rules. Rules and laws and society are all made up, at the end of the day, and all you really have is your own moral compass and sense of justice; is this just to you? Is it right? Should it be OK for companies to put people in insurmountable debt for the rest of their lives just because our medical care is so expensive in this modern day and age? No law or rule should change what you know in your heart is right and wrong, and I think that’s the key thing that makes someone a good person in my eyes.

#there was a time when parker wouldn’t have noticed, #not because she lacked the capacity to care, #but because she had narrowed herself, #to stay alive she cut off as many unnecessary things as possible, #watching her get them all back, #is one of the glories of this show (via @seananmcguire)

Leverage hands down has the best character development I’ve ever seen.

This scene hit me like a brick. My parents were hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt when I was 16 bc I’d had cancer the year before (my treatment ended up being free but the initial ER bills and such were not).

But somewhere along the line they just… Disappeared. My mom says they’re not being paid and they’re not in collections. It’s almost as if someone out there did…exactly what Parker did.

Ever since I saw this the first time, I’ve imagined it was Parker doing it. That she and Hardison had a free weekend and decided to take it out on a collections agency. That I was one of the lucky ones who got a little Leverage.

Okay but like yeah, that is actually a thing that happens, albeit not exactly like this. I don’t remember the exact process but basically there’s a booming industry to sell peoples debt - the business you owe money to sells it to someone else for a fraction of the money owed, wipes their hands of the whole affair, and now whoever bought your debt is riding your ass to get you to give the money to the. But it’s also entirely possible for people to just… buy up massive amounts of debt for pennies on the dollar, and then just. Forgive it. Because capitalism is a living nightmare, but the system is broken enough that it’s possible to exploit it for good sometimes.

Like, the main reason I know about this is because John Oliver did a piece on debt buying a few years ago, and ended it by revealing that he’d bought 15 million dollars worth of medical debt just so he could forgive all of it. Both to expose how broken the system was because some random fucker like him could buy millions of dollars in peoples debt with zero regulations, and also just to take the record for biggest TV giveaway in history.

A charity where you can do this, right here.

Be Parker! Be somebody else’s Leverage!

yes! if you want to help with the medical debt crisis in the US and have some extra money please donate to RIP Medical Debt if you can. They’re completely legit and really do what they say - you really CAN relieve an incredible amount of debt for the needy with even a small donation. I’m a monthly donor and receive a quarterly report of the debt they’ve abolished, and it truly is amazing. Based on those reports the average amount of debt abolished per person is actually I would say about $600 - which means, if you’re doing the math, that with a $6 donation to RIP Medical Debt, you can potentially pull one person out of a poverty spiral - maybe even one family. For six dollars. that’s a pretty good deal, I think.

RIP Medical Debt is now called Undue Medical Debt!

It’s still gloomy but it’s warmer.

I woke up at 6am having such a hot flash and nausea. Nausea is the GLP1 which was likely exacerbated by poor food choices on shot day. I’ve been not taking the magnesium supplement for a couple of weeks to see if it improved the rosacea. I can’t see that it’s improving things. So back to my supplement tonight. The research is inconclusive on magnesium helping with hot flashes but that’s been improved for me while taking.

E messaged at 9 and said good morning and then disappeared which usually means he went back to sleep. If that’s the case, he must still be feeling yucky. He’s planning on going back to work tomorrow. I think he should have taken the last two days off and just waited till next week to go back. He said he wants the money he can get from working OT. This move is expensive for both of us. Me, in doing projects I’ve been putting off and him with bills plus buying stuff for here too.

I need to finish up my office project today. Yesterday was a good rest day but today needs to be productive. I also have tomorrow off and I’d like to get outside.

I officially turned the heat off and I’m not turning it back on for any reason. I’m hoping that the temps stay moderate so I can leave the AC on. We are officially about 6 weeks away from E’s projected move in date. Once he moves in I’ll have to use the AC more because he needs to be cool enough to sleep during the day.

Last night I spent some time online searching new bedding and curtains. I def found the curtains I want. They’re a charcoal gray made out of linen but they’re lined to keep out the light. So the walls will be Billiard Green and my accent colors will be charcoal gray and probably a lighter green. Possibly some wine or plum shades as well. No one will ever be in our bedroom but us anyways. I still like to have my aesthetic though lol. It’s funny that he said to me he doesn’t care what I do but he’s definitely sharing some opinions. He admitted to wanting to rearrange a certain way (which made sense) and that he hates my dresser storage in the living room. It’s going to be hard for me to have someone else’s opinions lol.

Brown and blue today.

I like letting Picker Wheel decide my fate, so for July I've loaded a wheel with every art medium I have the supplies for and each day I'll spend 15-20 minutes trying them all out. Might give a little extra weight to the ones I'm still learning/haven't tried yet.

And then some other month, I'm thinking November when it's getting cold and I'm starting to hermit, I'll use a wheel of all the projects I'm "working on".

Neither of these is necessarily going to produce a finished piece most days, but it'll hopefully feel like progress. And be fun.
