My brother-in-law is Peter David, writer of stuff. (Seriously, that's what it says on his business card.) He's written #comics (he's best known for his 12-year run on The Incredible Hulk), movie and TV novelizations (some of his #StarTrek novels are very popular in Trek fandom), television episodes (such as #Babylon5) and movies, original novels...all kinds of, well, stuff.
I bring this up because he's been dealing with severe health issues for three years and counting and is starting to make progress in recovery just in time for Medicaid to yank his coverage. As you may know, in America, medical expenses without some kind of insurance coverage are prohibitive.
A friend has set up a GoFundMe to help pay for these medical expenses. If you can spare a few bucks, please donate. Thank you.

Child. “Hi, would you like to buy some cookies to help support the Gopher guides?”
Adult. “No thanks, I already got five boxes from my managers kid.”
Child. “You’re making a mistake.”
Adult. “How so?”
Child. “My dad is watching and we live two houses away. It’s going to be awkward all summer when you are both out doing yardwork and make eye contact.”
Adult. (Pulling money out of their wallet) “All right. Fair enough.”](https://fedi.ml/photo/preview/640/404776 "[a child is talking to an adult outside the adult’s home]
