There is a terrible windstorm going on outside. Can't sleep and work is delayed until 9:30.
Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I think it's interesting to figure out how someone I like can be so wrong on whatever issues (from my perspective, obviously) but haven't had the experience with someone I was really close to, I don't think. That could be really hard to deal with.
Yeah, me neither. There is the politically insane (i.e. in an actual cult) branch of my family, but I'm not close with them. Everyone in my immediate family (including in-laws) is more or less on the same page.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Jesse, it won't let me submit a photo album to Good Stuff. I want to add this.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Ha ha ha! I fucking love Pomeranians.

My immediate family is the Left Wing Pinko Commie branch of an otherwise Right Wing extended family, so we're very used to that divide. Though we don't argue about it, my grandmother's philosophy was always everybody needs to leave their political talk at the door and get along with family.

There are certain subjects that Are Not Discussed between Hubby and me. He has bad cases of "I'm right, dammit!" and it's not worth it to me to try and dig down and find his reasoning (life's too short and he's been dead too often). Most political things fall in there. He's always very surprised when he hits the wall of my own "These are my beliefs and I'm not changing them for you." Thankfully we've learned how to use our various hard walls to circumvent other people whom we don't like. "Oh, I couldn't, my wife/husband would never go along, and they're more important to me than X."

today is one mad dash to get every last thing done as big boss will not be in the office again until after the new year. He was out all last week also.
