I already wrote this post once, but WordPress ate it (it’s definitely WordPress, and not me not saving it).
Anyway, we need to bring back the thorn. Ot þorn. We don’t need Latin speaking scribes or French speaking rulers to tell us what letters we get to use. Just þink about it. We still make a th sound in English, but it isn’t quite t-h. An actual letter is better.
Þat said, the boat has sailed on æ.

It’s the last post before the military parade. A lot of people have talked about why tanks in the streets are bad from a creeping (or at this point sprinting) fascism perspective and what they might do to the infrastructure.
But one thing I would like to add is that we’re still at war in Afghanistan. Maybe finish the war before you declare victory?
