I clearly spend far too much time with occultists. Watching #Supernatural (s3 e10) my first thought was to sigh heavily at the lack of correct protocols when attempting dream-walking.
I don’t think that’s the response the writers intended!

Aside from watching Supernatural, I’m also rewatching Riptide. For a show from the mid 80s, there’s a lot of female β€” or possibly gay male β€” gaze.
Which is interesting.

The office manager has arrived.
Miss Telzey is a very thorough supervisor.

#KeirStarmer your anti-immigrant policies are heartless, cruel and a disgrace to the #LabourParty. I’m ashamed of you as prime minister.
I’m a hereditary Labour activist. I cleave to true Labour values. Why are you betraying us?

No 10 tells Labour MPs it expects support for tough new asylum policies Some backbenchers already opposing planned immigration crackdown seen as β€˜economically and culturally illiterate’

If the government really intends to seize jewellery and other valuables from refugees,
either
- it is staggeringly ignorant of the historical precedents
or
- it's aware of the precedents, and thinks, yeah, we'll have some of that.

Universal free childcare, regardless of income. Wages for housework. And no private schools boosting privilege. I would willingly pay more tax for this.

This.
And universal free healthcare

I refuse to believe that Major Briggs can be a villain. He has to on one of his missions.

First Tricia Helfer, now Don Davis. I feel Agent Cooper would be an asset to the Winchesters.

It's a book on necromancy. Fascinating, so far. (I promise not to evoke any demons or evil spirits.)
NB I consider Cassius to be the hero of Shakespeare's Julius Caesar, so I do not promise to have the same definitions of bad.

I'm indexing. Entries so far include Aeschylus, the Books of Samuel, Abraham Lincoln and Cornelius Agrippa.

This also explains why the episode mentions Jennifer Love Hewitt.

She may turn out to be a ghost, however, which would be more in her genre…

Tricia Helfer guest-starring on Supernatural.
She doesn’t seem to be either a Cylon or a demon.
I am so confused right now!
