WARREN: What'll it do to Buffy?
ANDREW: Make her super magnetic!
JONATHAN: Wow, she won't be able to get out of her car.
WARREN: And knives and other sharp things will fly at her.
ANDREW: We could walk right by her, and she wouldn't be able to stop us.
WARREN: Unless we were wearing metal belt buckles, then we would stick to her.
ANDREW: In my plan, we are beltless.

Wesley puts down his bag and pulls out a newspaper clipping: You recall earlier this morning that mix-up with the dentist's mail and newspaper? (Shows her the clipping) That’s when I saw this.

Look! I remembered to post before December started this year!

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.

The Sunnydale Herald Newsletter, Saturday, November 29

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"?
