June 16th commemorates Youth Day, memorialising a student uprising against racial and social injustice that set in motion the machinery of change in South Africa. That protest met with violent resistance and opposition by the political establishment of the day. Students lost their lives.

The older face looking back from the mirror is no longer quite as youthful. White hair marks the passage of time. But I'm here, a person of colour who is, today, decades later, an heir and beneficiary of the freedoms so hard won by those who have gone before.

Their sacrificial work is not yet done. The walk to full freedom is long.

The day the world changed for the better.

Book 7: Long Walk To Freedom, Nelson Mandela.

My son was born on 11/2/1990, the day Nelson Mandela was released from gaol. I've always impressed on him that the day he was born the world changed for the better. You can't say that about every day in history so he was born with a legacy to live up to.

I'm very proud of him. I like his politics.

"I learned that courage was not the absence of fear , but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear"

No one is born hating another person because of the color of his skin, or his background, or his religion. People must learn to hate, and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love, for love comes more naturally to the human heart than its opposite.

I am fundamentally an optimist. Whether that comes from nature or nurture, I cannot say. Part of being optimistic is keeping one’s head pointed toward the sun, one’s feet moving forward. There were many dark moments when my faith in humanity was sorely tested, but I would not and could not give myself up to despair. That way lays defeat and death.

If you were to live anywhere with complete access for your disability, would you rather live somewhere urban or rural?

ohhh thats such a good question. but my heart belongs to wherever i can see trees. lots of trees. where you can see rabbits and deer come out at dusk every so often if youre lucky

#i can see myself keeping bees even . just as long as im able to get where i need to go #though admittedly. imagining being able to GO and DO SOMETHING by just kind of leaving an apartment and going around by myself. #like. a night time walk to a store before it closes. all on my own carrying my little things in my little lap. yeah i can imagine #falling in love with that freedom. and nearby good diverse restraunts. and boba. as much boba as i desire. #also i have a terrible disease called ive watched too many WTYP episodes about buildings breaking down and invasive thoughts of natural #disasters. and thinking about being in a building with too many stories in an earthquake sounds like a nightmare #theres pros and cons. lots of pros and cons. but i think being in a House surrounded by Genuine ''there could be bears'' Forest #is my happy place. ultimately #she speaks #anon #asks #in my heart and soul i am a mountains/hills and forest girlie

"Emrys and the Once and Future King shall unite Albion" is legit the only true part of the prophecy, everything else is Kilgharrah's last three marbles rolling around because he's old as balls and has been in the draconic equivalent of a padded room for 20+ years.

Merlin: Great Dragon, I need your help, Arthur is-

Kilgharrah: Who is the emperor today?

Merlin: We don't have an emperor anymore, now-

Kilgharrah: Oh they followed through on that Julius fellow, did they?

Merlin: ffs

why does he sound like my grandpa

#lmao but seriously is my grandpa killboy fr???? #both go off on spiels about times long past #both wish to not be confined to sit idle #both enjoy flying #will be a little manipulative in order to get what they want (for kilgharrah: death of the pendragons and freedom; #for me grandpappy: being able to drive or walk w/o his walker) #bbc merlin #kilgharrah #merlin emrys #headcanons #asks #edit: OH! and both are old af
