highly recommend keeping a small portrait of a historical figure who met a grisly end on your work desk. for perspective. me: oh thomas cromwell, we're really in it now. every day i get emails. the postcard of thomas cromwell i keep on my desk: i was on committees with the duke of norfolk. and they beheaded me. me: yep. good point. (Later reblog, same OP) me: cromwell. cromwell this post has got too big and famous and people are starting to misunderstand me on it. the postcard of thomas cromwell i keep on my desk: oh no! you achieved too much fame and status? and now people are misrepresenting you? should we strip your lands and title? have you been beheaded? me: YES ALRIGHT FINE
