Amser mynd am un o'r rhai mawr o'r silff “i'w darllen”. Mae hon gyda fi ers 2011, a dw i wedi ei dechrau o leia ddwywaith, ond y tro ‘ma dw i’n ffeindio fy hunan yn gartrefol yn syth.

Everyone is necessarily the hero of his own life story. Hamlet could be told from Polonius’s point of view and called The Tragedy of Polonius, Lord Chamberlain of Denmark. He didn’t think he was a minor character in anything, I daresay.
John Barth (1930-2024) American writer
The End of the Road, ch. 6 “In September It Was Time to See the Doctor” [The Doctor] (1958)Sourcing, notes: wist.info/barth-john/19133/

#Beware! There's something really ... strange, different, and tastes like licorice about that Xumo web interface. You're prob have to ... you know, Ctrl+I or, F12 whatever. hit that [PAUSE] button to even figure out what's going on.
I'm lost.
Granted. This is like day three of a manic ep, and i'm about to go down.I wanted to say. What's her name. #Idiocracy. #Rudolph is it "Maya" #mayarudolph ?
I guess she's #blackcomedian.I never think of her as black. How weird is that. She is very light-skinned though. I seriously have always had that: not recognizing it. Not oblivious. Just dont care. Some sort of "dysmorphia" probably. like my thoughts getting ahead of my mouth, generally, since they're basically the same words (he/she/thing/that) And I don't think that's the brain damage. Although, it's really difficult to tell with something like that when you're down in it ("it" being the /damaged/). and it's "You" trying to think through it. f'n sucks. i am certain of that. if there is one thing, I am certain, today: having brain damage from some dumbasses fuck really is the shittiest thing.
