Are there things that occur that you *know* you should get more het up about because it's offensive, but don't because really you just can't be bothered with one more thing?

I'm not entirely sure what you mean by this--like, above people are talking about environmental impact they have, do you mean that i should be more worried about like "OMG, I should be doing X Y and Z" kind of thing? Or more like "The Senate is NOT APPROVING THIS BILL THAT IS A TRAVESTY!" kind of thing? Cause the first one...well, I suppose if I thought about it, I would know I should be, but I don't even tend to think about it overly much. I mean, my carbon footprint might be OK ...except for all the PLANE TRIPS I take. Etc etc.

As for the "taking offense at shit"---yes. There is definitely times when I feel like I should be protesting more things and doing more writing to representatives and signing more petitions and educating more bigots and yadda yadda. But I get tired. Heck, even in my own life. Though just last night I finally managed to call a friend out on something that's been bugging me that a bunch of my friends have been doing for a long time, and I resolved a while back to start saying something about. And it felt good. And I want to keep saying something when it happens.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Was it here we were talking about kickass chick movies for Valentine's Day? I'm thinking Foxfire...

Oh my lord people. It would not count as good management if I cracked a couple of heads together and said "you both need to chill your shit out and stop fucking flipping out over who has to do a five-minute task".

Seriously, I just had to practically break up a fight over who has to print out a god damn shipping label.

If it helps the cause, I wish management around here would crack a few heads.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

It would probably be effective....
