nico_wolfwood, who sends me lots of articles (to my gmail account, which I never check!)
I found this interesting, but a little surreal, since I've been hanging out with people who have specifically chosen to use a broader definition of "racism" which includes this much more common and persnickety sort. (Also my main reaction is "Duh", but hey :))
And yes, this is a sign that I'm feeling smart enough to deal with comments on tricky topics again (and notice that I've forgotten birthdays etc), yay my brain! I make no promises as to feeling this smart by the time anyone replies...
Oh, and I rang my family, and her party isn't for a week and a bit. And is at Annalakshmi, where I can't eat any of the food, but on the plus side means I won't feel so bad if I end up having mine somewhere with no vegetarian options :)
