Argh. You know, I hope to HELL I don't hear stories about how 2017-2018 infects an SCA event like this.... leave it at home or in camp, people.

YES

Tolerant means I put up with things I don't agree with. It doesn't mean I start agreeing just to make someone feel better. I don't shut you down, you don't shut me down, and we can each hold onto our views. We tolerate each other even if we don't like each other. Now? Folks think that if you don't approve you're being intolerant. News flash, approval is something else. Grumble

This is why I put up with people who prefer Star Trek Voyager to Star Trek Deep Space 9! Are they heathens? YES. Will I say so? CLEARLY, but they have a right to be wrong.

Just don't ask me to say Janeway is a better leader than Sisko, she is not.

(mostly thanks to bad writing)

yeaaahhhh

I post this b/c the creator of Godwin's Law says no, we don't need to update it.... and I think that says a lot about tolerance.

Would you believe there are even people who prefer House Eiluned over House Gwydion? Tsk They re to be pitied, not hated, but twould be madness to agree with them in the name of tolerance.

Awright now....

Have I used up all my cheeky rations today? 🙂

And in OTHER good news! Kitten pooped in the potty-trainer!

YAY

Nah, you have unlimited cheeky rations.

with or without the hole?

Modified.

There are two trays, a top for her to sit on and a bottom tray. The top still has a hole, the bottom does not; she can see what falls in there and I think that is making it ok again.

Cats get anxiety, yeah

OTOH, so is my catching her just as she's about to go elsewhere to scoop her up and move her to the potty, and giving her treats after.

aw

And lots of praise and attention from everyone. It's like the kids are little again....

Now, if I can get her to GO to the potty, and go to the potty....

Yeah

One step at a time.

May I bring up one more RL matter?

Surely

Are we familiar with the Second Civil War talk?

?

no

Not really. I mean, fringe groups talk about California leaving or whatever but

Apparently, Democrats are going to start a Second Civil War tomorrow.

Don't fire on Ft. Sumter! That never works!

I have seen this announcement credited to Alex Jones of InfoWars, so...

HUGE Chunk of salt

But mm yes. that's alarming terminology.

...

That being said, Twitter is making me LAUGH with #secondcivilwarletters.

dissent is not war, nimrod. And double irony coming from a demagogue that founded, literally, INFO-WARS

((And then of course I lose my connection....))

OF course

Folks are taking the style of letters written in the 1860s and updating references to our country today.

Heya. waves Shades, you saw that Godwin himself has suspended Godwin's Law for this administration?

Okay, that could be clever (regarding the letters)

"Dearest Emma
Colonel Hannity's red hats ambushed us at the Galleria yesterday. Many brave men were lost. We are down to our last wedge of Brie and the Chardonnay is dangerously close to room temperature. Remember: Tuesday is recycling . #SecondCivilWarLetters"

Yes I did, BrekkeP!

Just an example of this kind of thing. I've also seen people posting what brigade/battalion/unit they are with for CW2.
