My students are volatile at the best of times (comes with the territory of working in AP) but that was something else. And that's even if you discount the time a student swung a lorry ABS cable at another student like he was the Witch-King of Angmar.

Anyway, I'm excited, and terrified, and glad I can fully focus now on making more raucous nonsense with Neanderthal as we finally record our next album.

I should also probably check on my students. Maybe do a quick headcount.

While writing it, I found a Kropotkin quote which perfectly encapsulated everything I was trying to say:

It's also, fundamentally, about history. The weight of it, it's momentum, and how it can force us down ever darkening paths unless we're willing to face past mistakes and the horrors we may find.

The above is apropos of nothing. I do not need immediate rescue. It's fine.
