Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

So wait, what does it actually mean??

Ann, that's a ferret.

But seriously, I wonder if Scalia is in the early stages of dementia.

I think it's somewhat more "old man yells at cloud." Although the two aren't mutually exclusive.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Poor Scalia. It must be so hard when the rest of the world doesn't care if you think something is icky, even though they should because you are on the Supreme Court.

What a beautiful notion.

You own your opinions and if it makes people think badly of you? So be it.

I have a friend who has political views that are pretty much completely opposite to the rest of our social group, and he has been known to complain that he can't discuss politics with us because "we're all dismissive and mean."

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

complain that he can't discuss politics with us because "we're all dismissive and mean."

So what's weird is that my students often think that when I disagree with their ideas that it is personal. Disagreement is not a personal attack.

Well, it doesn't help that his defense of his political views boils down to "Because I said so, that's why".
