Lovely to meet everyone :) Here's little about me! Looking forward to getting to know you all!
Day 8/100
It has occured to me 100 days is really long. What have I done.
"I debated fiercely in my mind between fulfilling every mage's fantasy and repaying his trust. In the end, as much as I wanted to yell ‘I promise nothing,’ I promised I would only use it to protect myself"

Day 6/100
"Two children from the local school approaching house. Will desist unless advised otherwise."
I scowled, trying to think, trying to make sense of the sudden visit. Then, suddenly; panic. What did they mean by desist?

"So, why are you guys both away from school for so long?" She asked.
I looked at Haru for help.
"Ill go and get your guests some berries." The traitorous forager jumped out of her seat and escaped before I could say a word.

Day 4/100:
“Uh huh. Is that Potion of Suffering?” He pointed.
“No,” I rolled my eyes. “That’s Potion of Pain. The one next to it is the Potion of Suffering.”
“I don't think this is going to be good for his health, you know, seeing a girl trying to assassinate him so cheerfully.”

No longer trying to make myself more appealing or palatable when it comes to hardline politics that I will not compromise on.
In this country we have enough to enable everyone to be fed, clothed and housed. But our governments choose not to. They choose to prioritise capitalism over people.

David Tennant wishes JK Rowling no ‘ill will’ but says trans people ‘demonised’
Actor who appeared in film of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire hopes ‘we can all as a society just let people be’
David Tennant has criticised the “demonisation” of the trans community, saying that while he wishes JK Rowling “no ill will”, he hopes that “we can all as a society just let people be”.
The Scottish actor, who appeared in the 2005 film adaptation of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, likened the treatment of transgender people to the Thatcher government’s introduction of section 28 – a 1988 law that prohibited local authorities from “promoting” homosexuality. Continue reading...

Let me put it straight down the line.
Winston Peters voted against Homosexual Law Reform.
He voted against the Human Rights Amendment Act.
He voted against Marriage Equality.
But now he gets to say who my trans and non-binary bretheren are? Who they can be? Where they get to go?

mood - this is important. Take care of you! Be angry. Take action. Speak out. Resist. Then remember you are not alone in the fight. Step back, rest, and let others hold the line. 💙
