Luffy's straw hat is yellow, like straw, and towards the 'end' of the story, which hasn't ended, he doesn't turn into Christ, he turns into a Tex Avery cartoon. At least Charles Manson had listened to Helter Skelter.

go the fuck outside. find a goth club. go there on a kink / queer night. go even if you think “you won’t fit in” (cheat code: just wear black).

be friendly. give yourself time. repeat as necessary. you will make exceptional friends.

life is for the living. do it scared.

Having a name from a very small ethnic population (there's like 2 million Welsh people in the world) usually means that I'm safe from seeing my name in the news. Not today though!

A friend of mine worked with sex offenders of Watkins' calibre, and based on what I heard from him my view is while 99.9% of the prison population can be dealt with in other, better ways, there's a tiny percentage of people, one in every million, who really do need to be away from other people.
