Wait is that THIS cat?

I need you to drink a bunch of coffee on and empty stomach and get really into the idea of gardening okay. I need you to love it. Spend hours scrolling pinterest looking at beautiful gardens. Keep scrolling. Internalize their shapes, ponder their -yeah keep drinking coffee. No it's important that you not eat for this- anyway, need you to conceptualize the idea of gardening as virtuous. Yeah. Yeah I made a breakfast sandwich, you don't need to worry about that right now. You want to garden now right? You want to buy a bunch of seeds and dirt and shit, maybe some cute overalls to wear while you garden? Perfect. Buy all that shit. Yeah- yeah right now. Buy all that shit on Amazon right now I'll wait.
Okay good. Now go outside and try to garden. I need you to become rapidly disillusioned with it. Like you just don't find it enjoyable at all. The sun is too hot, or it's too cold, It takes consistency you don't really have time for, you're hungry, you don't have time to shower and make it to work, you --yeah I know gardening is hard and it's hard to do it. That needs to be your main takeaway! A sense of a nonspecific wound-- oh shit sorry, yeah I'll cover my mouth when I cough where are the fucking napkins.
Like, there's tension between the image and the praxis right? Like you just don't fuck with it that much. Yeah the sandwich is fried spam, an egg, slice of pepper jack, some pickle remoulade. Yeah the Ukrainian bakery around the corner sells ciabatta fresh every day its- actually it's not important. I need you to feel really bad that you don't like gardening, and I need you to cope with this feeling by valorizing the idea of gardening even more. Like now you see yourself as an unworthy knight who failed to live up to the expectations of your pure and righteous lady. Yeah. The modern world is an evil place preventing you from self-actualization through gardening. Don't worry about how. It is, isn't it? Like that's true, right? Yeah --okay yeah more coffee-- just like, if anyone asks you why you don't garden very much, *that's* when you get intellectual about it. Practice coming up with reasons why it's hard to garden. That shouldn't be too difficult. The clothes you bought are really cute aren't they? You should like, wear them and take selfies in them. People will love it. They'll love you.
I just finished reading Terry Pratchett’s book Guards! Guards! Nobody told me that Discworld was crack tar heroin AND chicken soup for the soul.
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!
Undue Medical Debt makes it easy for donors to make an impactful difference in the lives of those struggling with medical debt.

Does '𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵' wandering trader has lore or backstory? 🤔
If they do, they’re not sharing it… mostly cuz they don’t remember it. So instead they'll share the lore of their get-up.
The Vulcan children's hospital recently redecorated. I'm not convinced they chose the most logical option
