Anya ,'Get It Done'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, flaming otters, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Is that anything like a buffalo stance?
I'm thinking nsm.
My strategy for dealing with the crap that is gonna come down in this country is to create a community of people I agree with around me, write checks to organizations I support, and not read or watch the news except in heavily filtered or calmly presented forms.
I am an ostrich with a checkbook.
I just keep thinking that the in the long run, the ultra-conservative policies are leading to a large, poor, dis-enfranchised, potentially armed population.
Perhaps, but a Foucaultian might argue that as long as the reactionary right control the discourse, they probably don't have to worry much about the guns being pointed in their direction.

Welcome to Wisconsin!
Sits next to msbelle in a blue state, sipping tea and singing, "la la la."
Joins Allyson and msbelle.
I am not armed or poor or conservative. I do, however, live in a Red State and drink tea. Oh! I'm also large.
PARTAY!
tonight I am leaving work at 6. I opted to get through as many tasks (10) as possible today instead of taking on one of the more important ones that is time-comsuming and requires actual effort and thinking - Unfortunately that means that PITA task goes home with me tonight to be tackled this evening or tomorrow - then emailed to CEO for comments.
I also wrangled in 3 different co-workers who are not so busy into doing little parts of my work today. YAY!
I am generally so poor that I don't really donate to charities. But I will be sending whatever I can to pro-Roe v. Wade PAC's.
This SCARES me.
yay msbelle for a successful day! And hey, sitting right there with y'all, and thinking of the irony that states' rights might soon be invoked to *preserve* hard won civil rights.

They haven't really shown much inclination to think that long-term anyway.
aaand I've got the idealist/cynic thing going again. Damn.
