The thistle is a symbol of Scottish resilience and strength. The crow symbolizes the Celtic pagan goddess Morrigan, who is the goddess of righteous fury and vengeance.
Moving forward with resilience and righteous fury.

It's that everything I've ever published was used without my permission to develop such a shitty, flawed and fundamentally useless tool. I deserve compensation for THAT itself.
