the full miffy in iceland collection

okay. i'm just gonna say it. i feel like it needs to be said. everyone has been too quiet on this for too long. the fact that we all act like it's okay that every century gets called one century above what the years make it feel like it should be is NOT OKAY. we can't keep pretending it isn't confusing to hear "18th century" and go "oh yeah, the 1800s - oh wait nooo 1700s." we need to stop letting this happen. we can change history. language is malleable. i'm taking a stance.

why r callouts always like "please dont harass this person and dont go after them. anyway heres every single detail of their life gathered by stalking and their private profiles for all to see"

being forgiven by your victims and absolved from the harm you cause others is not a requirement for change of conduct and attempts at material restitution. i find it fruitless and frankly infuriating that “redemption” is fixated on as the former
