Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

If you were writing a light-hearted anecdote, would you say "nationalist" over "patriot" when describing the guest of honour's knee jerk reaction to defend her country? I think "nationalist" is distracting. I'd even go with "jingoist" first, and that's not a nice thing to say.

Patriot or jingoistic. Nationalist has more geopolitical overtones. In my head, anyway.

Yeah, that sucks, Dana. Hope there are brighter days ahead. (No idea what your husband does for a living but my DC area-ish company is hiring!)

My day was total stressball. We have way too much to do. And all I want to do is lie on a beach and read a book. No chance to do that at all for the rest of the year, I don't think. wah wah wah

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Huh. The default stylesheet works when you're not logged in, doesn't it? I tested it on my browsers on this machine, and it quotes whether I'm logged in with my mods, or logged out with vanilla.

If you view source of your page, the quotes are embedded in t blockquote right? And if you look at the default stylesheet here: [link] it has blockquote defined in it thusly:

cite, dfn, blockquote, .quote {
  margin: 2px 4em 2px 4em;
  font-style: normal;
  display: block;
}
cite, blockquote {
  font-family: monospace;
}

What am I missing?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

It's like this (with carats, obv):

[div class='postcontent'][p][blockquote] It's mostly the shitty timing and the shitty way they went about it.
[/blockquote] [/p]

And it looks the same logged out.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Flea, I'm sorry I was offline when you needed mayo help! In the future, Two-Minute Mayo is what you want. And "I don't have a stick blender" is not an excuse, because stick blenders are incredibly useful and everyone should have them.

I'm not seeing quotes as quoted anymore either. Maybe I need to add the default css to my custom sheet?

It's indented on three browsers on each of two machines for me whether I'm logged out or in. That makes no sense.

I'll switch it back, but I have no clear idea how in hell to troubleshoot what I can't see.
