Will the circle be unbroken?

one of my favourite useless historical trivia things is that the original name of the character Merlin was the Welsh name Myrddin. This was changed bc it was too close to the French word for shit (merde)

There are years where nothing happens; and there are decades where centuries happen.

suffering is not a soap box for you to stand on. if you see the opportunity for good and instead sow dissent then you are part of the problem

working in homelessness is so much fun bc people constantly complain on social media that "only foreigners get a look in" like, your anger is aimed at the wrong target like i get it's easier to put the blame on the "other" than restructuring a broken system but for fucks sake
