What's a 'conservative' athiest?
Lindsey: Why--why did you... Lorne: One last job. You're not part of the solution, Lindsey. You never will be. Lindsey: You kill me? A flunky?! I'm not just...Angel...kills me. You...Angel... Lorne: Good night, folks.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
What's a 'conservative' athiest?
Atheists who like Bush. And Ann Coulter. Despite her horrible book on religion.

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo
Someone who doesn't think ann coulter is Satan's bridesmaid, not only because they don't think she's evil, but also because there is no Satan.
Or you know, Ayn Rand seems like a conservative atheist.

Punishingly Intricate
Tell me the last thing that made you smile?
Just getting all my cat care ducks in a row for next week when I'll be in Vegas. (And not having to board the diabetic kitty because my friends are awesome about giving him his shots!)

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Please stop talking about people who like Ann Coulter. It makes my heart hurt.
Tell me the last thing that made you smile?
Matilda shifting from groggy to fully awake, seeing my face, breaking into a huge smile, and grabbing my cheeks so she could pull my face down and eat it with glee this morning at a little after 7.
I've smiled some "Hi, hello, how are you?" smiles at work since then, but those are all polite social smiles. The baby-eating-my-face smile was the real thing.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
It would have to be magic sex with no touching. And I would not be required to do anything.
People in my meeting, the projector thinks it's a second monitor. But why listen to me? Let's just stare at irrelevant menus for a bit.

Because books.
Tell me the last thing that made you smile?
Sara leading Lucy (the dog) around the house on a leash. That and finding Oreo Cookie ice cream in the freezer.
Okay, that part actually made me squeal in delight.

You probably don't want to read their review of Ann's book, Godless, then....

My last smile, last sincere smile, was probably watching Eureka at lunch and thinking that I might get to see Colin soon.
There have been work smiles since, but they don't count.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I just had a sincere smile about trying to guess what race people are by their names. Don't ask.
