Pictured speaker / quoted attribution: Thea @TheaEuryphaessa Recovered pictured passage; not a claim to the full source. Passage boundary: Thea Mar28,2023 pictured post only; exact tweet ID not established; possible unattributed quotation not reassigned to Nick. Source: archive.nickroutledge.org/post/1962914089308700896 Preserve quoted-author distinctions; the containing tweet does not confer authorship. The recognition of the element of projection is a burden many of us do not wish to assume; for if we do assume this burden, not a single incident—not a single quarrel, mood, fit of rage, secret suspicion or outburst of resentment—can pass without recognition of one's own motives. Retained uncertainty: ["Whole pictured sequence checked at original resolution. Exact Nick-source matches retained; missing Thea passage separately recovered."]
