I think there's a lot of offense possible just in grouping going to church/buying a gun/hating the Other as things peope do when they've been screwed over.

I read trashy novels and have stupid conversations with the cats.

Yeah, but I don't think that's what he meant. I think he meant those have become the political issues of interest because they've given up on economic issues rather than that people start going to church or buy guns because of it.

All good options!
I haven't done any work yet today, other than some neatening and coordinating. It feels awesome, I have to say!

Now tagless for your comfort.
Wisconsin is pretty wild. About a third of my high school graduating class ended up dying from attacks by cougars or the Wisconsin Fresh-water Shark....
We have wolves. Which they are going to start killing again.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Jessica, I should clarify that by "Really?" I mean to say, "Huh! It enlarges my view to see that you think it was received that way, I will be keeping that in mind," and not, "What are you, crazy? That's just dumb!"
Oh no worries, I was just trying to be more specific in what exactly was pinging my cringe response. No offense taken!

I'm starting to run out of the "start something and wait for results work" which will mean I will have to stop posting soon.

Though yesterday, my husband did feel obliged to copy me on an e-mail detailing how a roach crawled onto his water bottle at work.
Oh, my god.
It took a lot of effort not to make a loud horking noise at my desk just now.
