Don't ruin thanksgiving by talking about politics. Ruin it by asking that one special academic/writer family member how their manuscript is coming along
@phil_lol_ogist This is when I dearly want a "boost with comment" option. Yes indeedy, ask them how that manuscript is going, and who is going to read it. Yes, ask. Never. [Okay, I admit that I do ask certain people who are only too pleased to answer...]
@JenProf yeah, you've really gotta know the audience on this one
