I don't know about you, but I was glued to my television for every episode of Buffy The Vampire Slayer when it came on.

The series—based on the 1992 film of the same name—aired on The WB then UPN from 1997-2003.

I owe a lot of things to that show:

  • my healthy avoidance of cemeteries
  • my sarcasm
  • my deep love of villains
  • a life long obsession with all things occult...

But there is one thing TikToker SloppyJoey17—@sloppyjoey17—can say about the show most fans can't.

It literally saved his life.

Not only that—it saved his whole family's lives.

The video ends with SloppyJoey17 thanking Sarah Michelle Geller, the actress that played Buffy on the show.

"So literally we all owe our lives to Sarah Michelle Geller. Thank you. Thank you."

And to that, I also add a thank you to Geller for being an inspiration to a quiet child who needed a strong female to look up to.

It's already scary to witness a younger person go through a life-changing medical diagnosis, but it's especially jarring to see a medical professional, who presumably knows best about how to care for themselves, go through the same.

Sandra Lee, known as "Dr. Pimple Popper" on Lifetime, is well-known for her bedside manner, medical knowledge and ability to share her knowledge in an accessible way, and, of course, her unique approach to dermatological care.

Rob Schneider Dragged For Criticizing Elizabeth Banks' 'Dangerous Rhetoric' After She Called Out White Female Trump Voters

After actor and filmmaker Elizabeth Banks—who played Effie Trinket in The Hunger Games—called out white women who voted for President Donald Trump, MAGA actor Rob Schneider lashed out against what he referred to as her "dangerous rhetoric."

Those who've read the book and seen the film adaptation of The Hunger Games know that Trinket—known for joyfully announcing, "Happy Hunger Games and the odds may be ever in your favor!"—is a mistress of propaganda for a hostile government that forces teenagers to fight to the death every year to intimidate critics and keep society's poorest and most vulnerable in line. Trinket eventually embraces the rebellion.

Trump's Border Czar Ripped For Hypocrisy After Telling Pope Leo To 'Stay Out Of Politics'

President Donald Trump's border czar Tom Homan was called out for hypocrisy after telling Pope Leo XIV to "stay out of politics" after he clashed with Trump over the widely unpopular war in Iran.

Last week, Pope Leo criticized the war and called on the world "to reject war, especially a war which many people have said is an unjust war, which is continuing to escalate and is not resolving anything."
