I like books. I just don't want to take on too much. Do they have an introduction to the modern blurb?

I saw that Rice thing. It made me back away slowly from the monitor.
Sometimes, I can take the craxy. Sometimes (like last night) I just need to be all LALALALA I CAN'T HEAR YOU, AWFUL PEOPLE! Look, BUNNIES!

But they're just no-name peasants, not an artiste who should be free to ignore conventions of society that apply to lesser beings!

I'm going to take a bold stance and declare that seals are better than racism.

Reasons to not really like new boss: We got a medical statement in the mail, to our address, but to a person. Not anyone who works here, clearly an address mix-up. I ask him and the other workers if they know the name, thinking it may be someone's spouse or something. He says to take it back to PO as wrong address, or trash it. Really? Trash it? I called the medical office and gave them the name so that they could call the patient and get her correct mailing info. Then I shredded the mail, BECAUSE I TAKE HIPPA SERIOUSLY!

Although, frankly, I am even less prepared to deal with seals at Thanksgiving dinner. We don't even have oysters in our dressing.

Yeah, the people defending her seem to forget that she's not actually in trouble for using a racial slur in a private conversation. I mean, that's what she's in trouble for in Facebook, but what she's being sued for is violating anti-discrimination laws and mistreating her employees.
(I just had to walk away from a FB argument with someone who was very upset that Deen is being censored like this. Last time I checked, the Food Network was not a branch of government, but I'm waiting to be corrected on that.)

Right? I'd be fired for using slurs. Also? people saying she's a racist d-bag is not censoring her, IT IS BEING DECENT. omg.
And Rice was actually saying that a white person could not be offended by use of the slur? really? I boggle.
