Mulder seemed almost out of breath.

"The doctor said she was well taken care of, but nobody has ever seen her in the town. She's never been to school or to the store. But she's getting vitamin D and 3 meals a day."

Mulder listens as if he knows what she's about to say. His reponse is immediate and feels prepared. "The crystals are too small to wear as jewelry, part of the reason the picture looks bad, besides because the small town Oregon cop doesn't know how to use the camera is because many of the crystals

//Me too...although it's been a long while since I watched it last. I may need to rectify that!

Haha...excellent!

I believe...I will have a cupcake. 🙏😊

Racism is embedded into this country, it was built on it. To erode that structure is a long process. I'm not banking on the party who is supported by every white nationalist hate group, and who labels Hatians as pet eating savages, to be the ones to help continue that erosion.

I guess I don't see it that way. Politicians are often deceitful and both parties pander, but I truly see more concern in the democratic party to value diversity and create policies that benefit black people. It is FAR from perfect, but I do know empathetic and caring white liberals. They exist.

One can fight the good fight, but still not be perfect in everything they believe to be true. I prefer not to take any great thinker and activist and swallow them whole and assuming they were perfect.

To assume white liberals are simply deceitful is wrong, even he was right about a lot.

So kind of you. 😊💙

All stories have origins. Perhaps there is more to any story we know.

//They really were. But they also still seemed to respect each other. I'm sure it was just a little frustration for Mulder since he was right about everything but Scully was somehow always 2 minutes late seeing what she needed to see to believe Mulder. 😂

His face unusually animated, he waited patiently for Scully to connect the dots or show any sign that she understood what he was getting at.

beholder, but this girl isn't about to be hired by Teen magazine." Scully rolled her eyes and Mulder knew he better move on, before he criticized a girl's looks too much. "Look at the lab report, Scully. They found her with a hardened skin. Pieces of feldspar, basalt, and quartz broke off in pieces

Mulder's face remained calm as his new partner asked him what was so special, but his eyes couldn't help but open wide, questioning her observation skills. "First of all take a look at her, Scully. She's not exactly the first girl someone would ask to the prom. But beauty IS in the eye of the

"That's why I was surprised that you would use such an obvious tactic to someone with my background and skills. There is no question the value of your emotionally detached expert analysis of certain facets of the human mind.

But you are also proof, that nobody's perfect."

"Pg 235 of Comer's, Abnormal Psychology. A typical tactic of narcissists and psychopaths - make others doubt their knowledge of reality. Commonly known as gaslighting. I'm much more interested in things that aren't found in an undergraduate textbook."

"Well only one of us enjoys being on display. As a matter of fact, it's why I stopped by. After a day of paranormal activity, it's nice to be reminded that sometimes horror of the world are just the result of good old-fashioned psychopathy."

The party of free speech. 🙄

Omg...🤣🤣🤣

Take a look."

Rather than go on, he figured she needed to see the kind of cases that interested him, and handed her the open folder on his desk.

He was glad she didn't do an immediate eye roll, but he could also see she was skeptical as she glanced over his corkboard and his poster which was a glaring advertisement for the kind of things he believed to be true in the world.

The problem of course is that bottom feeders like Gaetz need to preside over workers that are as unethical as him or worse (shudder).

We're look at a cabinet and those under the heads as being totally without morals and ethics running the show.

//Maybe their perceived animosity was a disguise for how much they loved each other. Lol

//just about the paranormal and aliens. The last X-files movie really paid homage to that part of the X-files and actually really liked the bond that developed between. It had a great deal of depth. 2x/

//Although they supposedly didn't care for each other offset. But they are professional actors and they had amazing chemistry on screen.

What was interesting was rewatching the series when it was streaming and you start to realize how much of the show was also about their relation rather than 1/

Can the department of efficiency get rid of useless cabinet members too? I suspect efficiency isn't what they are really after.

Fox Mulder." He extends his hand. "So what unsavory things have you heard about me?"

familiar "bing" of the elevator. He sees her walk towards him, clearly another agent. As she introduces herself and announces that she is looking for a Fox Mulder, his eyes show a hint of exasperation.

"Who did you displease? Skinner told me I'd be getting a babysitter...I mean partner.

A man in a charcoal grey suit sits reclined in his office chair facing away from the computer. A file folder open on his desk. The rhytmic thump of a tennis ball echoes through the office as it bounces off the light grey wall. He is broken from this particular method of rumination by the
