What happened

As I sit here shivering over my keyboard in the office, I’m lamenting not having a sweatshirt to keep me warm amid the blasting AC.

Why it matters

I stick to sundresses and skirts until it’s really, truly fall weather, which might not be until late October.

Common ground

But a pullover is a much-needed transitional piece — so I caved.

Perspective signals

The tension in the story is sharpened by Loaded Language, Glittering Generalities, Manufactured Consensus: language that can make the dispute feel more urgent, personal, or adversarial than the underlying facts alone.
