Context be damned:
erika: I wish I had a root and some freedom.
Giles: I jump out of the circle, jump back in, and, and, shake my gourd. Buffy: Hey, I think I know this ritual. The ancient shamans were next called upon to do the Hokey-Pokey and to turn themselves around.

Always Anti-fascist!
Given how much history is in that, I think the context would be as useful as, like, Wire spoilers. "Um, remember that guy from twenty episodes ago? He's back. Also, the Man's still gonna crush you. Have a nice day!" Sorry, newbies.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Religious discussion in Natter--
Tom Scola: It looks like it's a Calvinist thing. If everything is already predetermined, once you're saved, you can't be unsaved. Never mind all of the backsliding that goes on in the fundamentalist community.
Steph L.: Oh, right! I got the Calvinist stuff backwards.
It's been a long time since I've even thought about that stuff. At least I remembered "Calvinist."
Toddson: Calvin has a lot to answer for. As does Hobbes.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
More from Toddson:
I love the mixture of theology and antihistamines.
God bless you all (for one reason or another).

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty
Juliebird in Natter, on what her name would be if born in other decades:
I am Adilyn, not bad. The worst was Lakeysha. I'm envisioning that spelt with a dollar sign.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Rick: Changing the names of things gives an illusion of progress with very little expenditure of effort. That makes it a popular option.

Matt the Bruins fan: I don't know whether to be appalled by this and 50 Shade of Grey or enthusiastic at the signs that there will eventually be a Dean/Cas movie.
