sara, your neighbor's book looks fantastic. And yay for local bookstore shopping! Another local author here is having her launch at the big bookstore I love tomorrow night, and that's where I'm getting my copy. (Also because she can sign it!)
Mmm. Wife soup. I must've done good.

Judging their treatment of pets??
No, judging their choice in political party. Though I'm sure there are some pro-vivisectionist political parties that I'd disapprove of.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
And to be clear, I have no problem calling out overgeneralization. Pretty sure I did that too. Pretty sure I want people to do that. I think it can be done in different ways.

Note to self: Descriptions of personal experience that include provisos for possible error and statements that such experience may not apply to the entire population and which are phrased to elicit conversation on such point are likely to result in being called out as judgemental and insulting to all the people who were theorized to actually exist. Keep such musings to oneself in the future, as one's personal experience and opinions are apparently cause for high dudgeon and outrage, not for reasonable counterpoint and respectful challenge.
IE, I came here for an argument, not abuse. Is that down the hall?

Hanne isn't really a neighbor (though not far from me) but she's neighborhood-adjacent. And cookie-commentator. She's also got books out on the history of virginity and one on sex and size and some erotica (none of which I've read, going to remedy that.) She's pro-oxford comma.

Another point her favor. Good woman. And I saw the history of virginity book on Amazon, too, and that looks really interesting.

If it is anything like her, it will be. So weird to be recommending an author based on cookie-chat. Can't wait to read more.

Wow. Gonna step away from Natter for a bit. Not flouncing, just need to not get stressed by the prickliness. Someone let me know when/if it is safe to return.

I had no idea oxford comma was such an issue (how was I an eldest, not a middle?)
Market. In 8 hours. Will do. WITH CAFFEINE!
