It was the most emotionally grueling work imaginable. 14-16 hour days, 7 days a week dealing with thousands of traumatized, desperate people trying to care for their families and bury their dead while facing homelessness. I spent a fuckton of my FEMA pay on therapy after Katrina. 12 years out and I still get severe…
Not just evil rich people, being Republican is enough. They do this to emergency responders all the time at local levels, too. You get shit like the Post and other tabloids publishing “horrifying” accounts of firefighters and EMTs and cops being paid “outrageous” salaries when overtime is included — and never mention…

Came here for this.
As god as his witness, he thought turkeys could fly.
Because now we know there are more powered people than just El in the world and that as the threats from the Upside Down get larger in future season these folks will be around to help combat them. We all love Steve Harrington and his nail bat but you need more firepower against giant monsters than that. It also shows…
I actually really enjoyed that episode...
Personally I don’t get all the hate. I like that they delved a bit more into the backstory of a different experiment and I liked seeing all the punk stylings of the ‘80s again, even if it was a bit of a mishmash.
