    Around December in the US, the Salvation Army(A Christian group with a bigoted history and overpriced secondhand goods stores) set up outside stores, ringing hand bells and asking for donations.

    They’re everywhere that allow them. You cannot escape the ringing bells.

        I’m so sorry. But, this did lead me to learning something! I had assumed they were US-based, just given their sheer prevalence in some parts of the country.

        Nope, it’s the fucking English. Headquarters in London. Just… Goddammit, England.

          Feeling alone, the Army’s up the road
          Salvation a la mode with a cup of tea
