Hello, friends! It's about to be December again, and you know what that means: the fact I am posting this actually before December 1 means

karzilla reminded me about the existence of linear time again. Wait, no -- well, yes, but also -- okay, look, let me back up and start again: it's almost December, and that means it's time for our annual December holiday points bonus.

The standard explanation: For the entire month of December, all orders made in the Shop of points and paid time, either for you or as a gift for a friend, will have 10% of your completed cart total sent to you in points when you finish the transaction. For instance, if you buy an order of 12 months of paid time for $35 (350 points), you'll get 35 points when the order is complete, to use on a future purchase.

( The fine print and much more behind this cut! )

Thank you, in short, for being the best possible users any social media site could possibly ever hope for. I'm probably in danger of crossing the Sappiness Line if I haven't already, but you all make everything worth it.

On behalf of Mark, Jen, Robby, and our team of awesome volunteers, and to each and every one of you, whether you've been with us on this wild ride since the beginning or just signed up last week, I'm wishing you all a very happy set of end-of-year holidays, whichever ones you celebrate, and hoping for all of you that your 2026 is full of kindness, determination, empathy, and a hell of a lot more luck than we've all had lately. Let's go.

EVE: You don't trust Wesley, do you? I mean, I can see that. He did turn Connor over to your sworn enemy.
ANGEL: He didn't mean for that to happen. He thought he was doing the right thing.
EVE: And I guess it all worked out. Connor's OK, you're happy... Maybe Wesley knew what he was doing after all. Even if he doesn't remember any of it.
ANGEL: That's got nothing to do with... I just want to be kept informed. That's all.
EVE: Is it? Or are you worried about the next time Wesley betrays you trying to do "the right thing"?

Buffy : You know what? I should have my own thanksgiving. I can cook the meal, just like my mom does, have all you guys over. It'll be great.
Willow : Buffy, earlier you agreed with me about Thanksgiving. It's a sham. It's all about death.
Buffy : It is a sham, but it's a sham with yams. It's a yam sham.

ANGEL: What did you mean before? “The Beast is going to turn out the sun.” Is that some kind of metaphor?
MANNY: Sorry. I don’t speak “college boy”. I said what I meant. This Beast you’re talking about? He’s looking for a way to put an end to daylight. He wants to blot out the sun permanently.
ANGEL: You’re saying once the totems are dead, the sun disappears?
MANNY: Not disappears, exactly. And it’s not just killing us, either. There’s props and a ritual and a chant and a thing and a… suffice to say, it ain’t easy. And folks in the Ra-tet, they got some serious juice which is why I never felt worried before.
ANGEL: But you’re worried now.
MANNY: Well, four out of five down… let’s just say I’m not looking forward to my retirement in Boca.
