Yami really took every disgruntled kid who's been cast away by society and put them all in a house together where they could find peace and love in each other and I don't think enough people talk about just how kind, gentle and compassionate this man is.

Good news for women!
By Cecilia Macaulay
BBC News
Sierra Leone has passed what has been described as a "ground-breaking" law to improve women's rights.
President Julius Maada Bio made an apology to women for their poor treatment in the past: "For so long we haven't been fair to you," he said.
The law states that 30% of public and private jobs must be reserved for women.
The Minister of Gender and Children's Affairs says women have been "crying" out "for years" for this change.
"It means a lot to women in Sierra Leone," Manty Tarawalli told the BBC's Newsday radio programme, adding that no other sub-Saharan African country had passed such a law.
The law lets girls who are still at school know "there are opportunities for them in Sierra Leone for employment for business" and for them to contribute to the economy, Ms Tarawalli said.
Under the new Gender Equality and Women's Empowerment Act (GEWE), women also benefit from ringfenced senior positions in the workplace, at least 14-weeks of maternity leave, equal access to bank credit and training opportunities.
There are harsh repercussions for employers who do not stick to the new gender ratios, including hefty fines of £2,000 ($2,500), and even potential prison time for institutions like banks that do not give women fair access to financial support. It is thought this will make it easier for women to start their own businesses.
The government says the employment law will apply to any business with more than 25 employees, but a final decision has not yet been made.
Ms Tarawalli said the move was "important" but that "more steps will have to be taken before the country can say fairness has been achieved across the genders".
Discrimination against women in the workplace is a "big issue," according to the minister, and the new law will "change the status quo," she said.
For Sierra Leone to become a middle-income country it must engage the 52% of the population who are women in the economy, Ms Tarawalli added.
Prior to the law, the United Nations sexual and reproductive health agency (UNFPA) said that "progress has been made in expanding opportunities for women and girls" but warned that "gender inequality and denial of women's rights are still prevalent at all levels in Sierra Leonean society".
As for gender equality in the continent as a whole, UN Women also says thatprogress has been made, but "the majority of women work in insecure, poorly paid jobs, with few opportunities for advancement".

I watched the BC movie with friends and I have a lot of thoughts about it. I loved the animations, the voice actors, the fights, the teamworks. It’s a must watch movie for every Black Clover fan.
However the movie also reminded me why I think Clover Kingdom is a shitty hellhole of a place with no hope for changing and that Julius is an incomptent Wizard King and the Black Bulls should’ve been vigilantes or anti-heroes or their own self-proclaimed squad untied to the system that is built to discriminate them.
I like this series but it’s full of hypocrisy and pro-authority agenda that were only ever truly highlighted by Zora before he also ended up indirectly serving it.
(TW: rant in tags).

It's James :D
What's an amount that would help? I don't want to presume so here I am cluttering your inbox
(to answer your other ask you did in fact click the anon button here. fear not, James, you have retained your mysterious identity. and i'd rather it be you in the inbox THAN PEOPLE WITH KNIVES THREATENING LOVINGLY TO STAB ME ON THE IDES OF MARCH WHY MUST THIS HELLSITE BE THIS WAY).
As for the amount I genuinely don't know. Like. Anything you want, really, don't feel pressurised either way? It's not anything I have qualms about and there's no minimum (aside from the 2 dollars on ko fi but i can lower that so).
I don't really have a goal, again, I have no clue what I'm doing. I just set this up because of you lovely maggots and because I'm a poor art bitch who's terrified of rejoining college (humans. i prefer you maggots. why can't i go to college with y'all) and the economy's broken as we all know to our detriment and so any support is appreciated.
Either way I love you all <3

would like to issue a formal thank u for defending chatot. hes my favorite character in pmd so its always so bizarre to see ppl misreading his character and hating him for shit he either didnt do or did for a good reason. ppl just hate characters who dont kiss up to the player insert sometimes i think. ur a real one chatot fans unite
you're welcome soldier, us chatot fans need to stick together. pmd fans will say "we love the complex stories in this series" and then hate a complex character because he doesn't spell out everything he's feeling or most of his intentions out for the player. pmd fans when they love complex characters but the character is complex in a way that doesn't worship the ground they walk on
