A quick ramble: feelings are complex and dangerous sometimes. We feel something so strongly that we start to direct it, verbally, physically, to the thing we feel it for. In the wrong ways, we start to actually attempt to harm them or bring them down. But we know we don’t deserve someone else responding that harshly to us. We may not like how we feel, but we haven’t given much thought...

Aristophanes... really?
Praxagora: Let none contradict nor interrupt me until I have explained my plan. I want all to have a share of everything and all property to be in common; there will no longer be either rich or poor; no longer shall we see one man harvesting vast tracts of land, while another has not ground enough to be buried in, nor one man surround himself with a whole army of slaves, while another has not a single attendant; I intend that there shan only be one and the same condition of life for all.
Blepyrus: But how do you mean for all?
Praxagora: (impatiently) You'll eat dung before I do!
Blepyrus: Won't the dung be common too?
Praxagora: No, no, but you interrupted me too soon. This is what I was going to say; I shall begin by making land, money, everything that is private property, common to all. Then we shall live on this common wealth, which we shall take care to administer with wise thrift.
Blepyrus: ... but who will till the soil?
Praxagora: The slaves.

Visualise Lieutenant: Did you come here to gloat?
Jane: No, I can gloat from a distance - I have a message from Stiles.
Lt.: Hmm. What is it?
Jane: Sorry, it's for the entire Inner Circle.
Lt.: Ah, you can give it to me, I'll pass it to the other members of the Circle.
Jane: Yeah... I don't think so. I think I'll need the whole gang. Light the Bret-Signal! Gather the Poobahs!

Stiles: Well, I've done my good deed for the day. If there's nothing else, I'll be getting along-
Lisbon: Just have a few more questions.
Stiles: Well, can we do it on the walk? I've gotta get back to running my religion.
Jane: Yes - the flock won't fleece itself.

I’m actually quite pleased with what I’ve written today. Maybe I’ll make this another series on that blog.
And no, the whole blog’s not ready for a big unveiling of any sort yet, I just want you to look at this because I’m proud of myself.

Sophia Turner, I’da punch yuh in de eye.
I do like that one bit where she says Castle just likes to see how the story ends. The thing is: is the ending solving Beckett’s mother’s murder, or something else? *winkwink*

this is not to say i’m not concerned.
i’m not sure if i said this before, but it wouldn’t really matter what the truth was. what matters to a crowd is the story. if they don’t have all the pieces, they’ll find a way to make the pieces fit. i can’t blame them for that.
but when it comes back in my backyard in unhelpful ways, then something needs to be done -...

I think I’m long overdue for a cabinet reshuffle.
Lately I’ve discovered that it is unimportant to other people if you’re doing something that works, as long as they reckon you should do it their way.
And that means not only I need to stop putting myself in that position to others, but I have to stop putting people in that position to me and the work I’m doing, especially...
