I'm so sick people thinking if they don't like the system, they can just not be a part of it. There will always be a system, and you will always be affected by it. There is no system that runs in autopilot. Even in the best case scenario, where there is revolution (we don't need to talk about the 50 years of violent unrest that follows violent revolution, right?) there will still be a system, you'll still be a part of it, it will still be vulnerable.

The Cost of freedom is eternal vigilance, the cost of not participating is even higher.

Fear is a strange soil. Mainly it grows obedience like corn, which grows in rows and makes weeding easy. But sometimes it grows the potatoes of defiance, which flourishes underground. (Small Gods)

The Spanish words 'año' ('year') and 'España' ('Spain') contain the letter ñ, which is called eñe.

It comes from a double nn. One of the n's was abbreviated as a squiggle on top of the other: ñ.

For instance, 'año' comes from Latin 'annum' with nn.

However, 'puño', 'España' and 'viña' come from 'pūgnum', 'Hispāniam' and 'vīneam', which didn't have nn.

My graphic explains how they got their ñ:

Old Cat Ladies of Beacon Hill never die, they just move out of state

You may remember Heidi Erickson, the Cat Lady of Beacon Hill, who had lots of pets in her Beacon Hill apartment, many of them dead - at least until police and firefighters responding to neighbors' reports of what smelled like a dead body in 2003 burst in and found an emaciated Great Dane, several equally near-death cats and, in the kitchen, a refrigerator and cabinets filled with the bodies and parts of bodies of 50 or so dead cats.
