"No," the swordmaster said.
"But you teach people how to handle swords."
"I do, yes."
"Is there a difference?"
"I... am not an master at handling people."
The swordmaster picked up the talking sword.
"But I know someone who is."
"A peoplemaster?" the sword said.
"A witch."

Please boost, need financial help with student loans and debt from social security overpayment
Hello, I’m in quite a lot of financial trouble atm:
I’m going to have to start paying the second part of my student debt because I made the mistake of getting into a private school in 2015 (it was split into two as a former agreement so it would be easier on me since I changed where I was studying and would take longer to not be a student anymore). The loan I have calls for monthly installments of 389€, which I cannot affort at the moment. I called them to revise the installments so I can pay less every month, but they told me I need to pay at least one installments before that can be adjusted. So I’ll have to shell that out at least next month
In addition, social security has overpaid me for 391€ for three months last year and is asking for that money back. They’re going to hold it from my payment next month and I’ll only get 12€ or so from them, so the timing is extremely bad
The financial strain of all this is way too much for me and my current income as I’m still an apprentice and I’ll be until June − I’ll have to line up a job then, and I really need any help I can get.
Any amount is welcome, but if you can’t donate, boosts go a long way too

Today's Oh Joy Sex Toy comic is all about trauma - the various forms and degrees of severity, how it can manifest, and, how it can persist.

It finishes: "Instead of beating ourselves up for being 'stuck in the past', we can recognise that trauma is a natural part of surviving something terrible - not a sign that we're broken."
@Vordus yeah that seems a tad small in sample size
