Private Vasquez in Aliens (1986) dir. James Cameron

Piltover!Viktor augmented back concept sketches!
I just remembered my second Pride, where I made different flag themed daisy chain bracelets/necklaces to hand out. I need folks to understand something:
They were free.
They were fucking free.
They were maybe ¢60 of acrylic yarn each at the most, and the whole ziploc bag of them took 2 hours max.
Three people gave me sad eyes until I took their money.
Someone who was clearly the mom friend of their group made me take a $5 and gave a 10 minute pep talk.
At least four more people insisted on getting change to pay for the, once again, free bracelets.
In spite of all these shenanigans, the absolute best was this one person who I can only describe as, “queer surfer dude who looks like a boyfriend who looks like a girlfriend.” I can remember nothing of the outfit, only the impeccable vibes. I did the same thing I did with everyone else, explaining the bracelets were free, and they nodded along as they took the last 6 strand rainbow bracelet. As soon as they had it on their wrist, they pointed at something over my shoulder and, like a fool, I looked.
Next thing I know, they’re running off cackling, yelling, “YOU’LL NEVER CATCH ME!” and I’m holding a fucking $20. I had to stop at least two people from chasing them, cause they thought the person stole something, and then they tried to give me money cause they thought it was funny seeing me flail over people being Too Nice.
That was the year I got reverse-robbed at Pride. I hope everyone out there is having a good time and, in particular, that queer surfer dude is out there still causing benevolent chaos.

Inexperienced John Price
Johns cock unchubbed by the time he had gotten away from the touch of the woman, but the moment he looked up at you, at the look in your face he felt the blood rushing south again.
You had gone outside to check on him in just your T-shirt and work pants, both of which highlighted your curves, waist, and thick hips.
His eyes made it to your face, and your genuinely concerned gaze flicked over him as you kept a modest distance away.
"Hey, you alright?
Heartbeat lodged in his throat he choked out, "Uh, yes I'm all good just my uh..."
He waved his hat in answer, his nerves not catching how your eyes grew as he rose to his full height.
"You work at the pub, yeah?"
You nodded, eyes flicking away from him. "I wanted to check in. The girl back there that...interacted with you. She's been known to steal men's hearts with those tactics."
The tip of John's ears started to burn, you were flirting with him.
Your cheeks blushed a pretty pink as you tilted your head. "You're the first by the way."
"The first?"
"To walk away from her to...resist her." You teased with a smile.
John was fucked. You were everything. From your sweetness to your confidence, to the curve of your lips, to the stomp of your foot against the cold.
"If she's been stealing men's hearts and still a regular the place must have a shoddy owner."
His unpracticed flirting landed. With a quirk of your lip, you put out your hand introducing yourself.
"John Price." Your smaller hand was warm.
"Well John Price, I hope you come back." You smile at him, "Maybe I can buy you a drink next time, on the house and the shoddy owner."
He felt himself smile, his chest warming in a way he had never felt before.
"I might just hold you to that."

Ok so my kid had an ear infection, right? As kids often do.
The doctor scraped out a bit of earwax to have a better look inside.
I was sent a bill for $200 PER EAR for this 5 second procedure which I did not give permission for them to do.
That was key- they did not ASK me if they could do this "procedure". And, as I OWN a medical practice (it's me. The medical practice is me, sitting in my house on video calls) I knew to call them when this bill came in to be like "You did not obtain informed consent for this procedure, and it was not en emergency procedure. You had full ability to gain my consent and didn't. I'm not paying."
And the massive hospital who owned the bill said "yuh-huh you do have to pay."
And I said "I own a practice. I know these laws. I do not owe you money for this."
And they conducted an "internal review" and SURPRISE! Decided I totally owed them money and they had never done anything wrong ever.
And so I called my state's Attorney General office, and explained the situation because, as I mentioned, I know the law. The AG got in touch within a couple days to say they were taking the case and would send the massive hospital conglomerate a knock it off, guys letter.
Lo and Behold, today I have a letter where said hospital graciously has agreed to forfeit the payment.
"How not to get screwed over by companies" should be part of civics class.
Know your rights and know who to call when they're infringed on. This whole process cost me $0 and honestly less effort than I would have expected.
May this knowledge find its way to someone else who can use it.
