As an Australian is also a vegetarian, I have never really done Thanksgiving food. But concepts like green bean casserole and sweet potatoes with marshmallows intrigue me. What are your best meat free Thanksgiving dish recommendations for someone interested in trying some?

It saves a tremendous amount of overhead (money) and time (money) and complications (people who are eligible dropping out because they can't prove they are), but mostly it forecloses an extremely common form of fiscal parental abuse.

Periodically I see people justifying means-testing to ensure The Rich don't get stuff for free when they can afford it.
I see the logic, but we can just tax them more.
Plus, the BIGGEST thing not means-testing solves is
*deep breath*
IT STOPS RICH PEOPLE FINANCIALLY-ABUSING THEIR KIDS ANYMORE.

Just a friendly reminder as we go into the holidays:
Folks don't have to explain to you why they don't drink.
If you offer them a drink and they decline, don't ask them why. It's not your business.
Just offer them something without alcohol to drink instead. And move on.

There has literally never been a universal basic income trial program that didn't deliver real and measurable results above and beyond any other form of social welfare, and every time another concludes with the same findings the powers that be go "interesting! Anyway," and pretend it wouldn't work.

You can say you see the imago Dei in all people, but your treatment of others - esp the least of these and the other - says more about how you see people and their Creator.
Theology is not just articulated, it is lived and practiced.

The fact that I won’t have time in my life to read all the beautiful books or see all the beautiful birds makes me sad. And happy.
Because what would life be if we could get to the end of all the beauty?

To people not watching sports, every sports update probably sounds like “Jaden Mahaeden reborked it! I KNEW he had the offensive pats to make his mark in the Malorkhi regime. Chicago is so lucky.”

I keep running into ministers posting (in private forums) about how they use ChatGPT for their sermons, and, my sibling in Christ, the Holy Ghost designed and formed your mouth to speak God's Word, your heart to hear it, your mind to contemplate it - why do you reject the gifts God has given you?

There is a roughly five year old kid at this playspace dressed as Batman, and I think my two year old is convinced he is the real Batman 😄

Systems that cover up abuse through deception, coercion, or abuse of power mimic the perpetrator and re-victimize the victim. Many lives have been sacrificed on the altar of secrecy for the sake of the church or the mission.

Migraines meds and a decent serving of protein later and I am feeling significantly better 🙃
New medication really decreases my appetite which means I forgot to eat dinner last night and then skipped lunch today and couldn't figure out why I felt awful and dizzy and was getting a migraine. Might have to set alarms reminding me to eat regularly? Ugh

Can anyone tell me what the state of things is with Starbucks in Australia? I know our labour laws are (generally) better, but unclear if being an international company means Starbucks is similarly exploiting workers here. Should I be avoiding Starbucks Down Under?
The union is asking that you not patronize any Starbucks, even ones that aren't unionized, for the duration! Time to find your new favoriteocal coffee shop. To donate to their strike fund: sbworkersunited.org

Had a massive cooking fail today when attempting a new recipe for zucchini slice. It somehow ended up both crunchy and liquid at the same time? Do not recommend.

Life has been a bit hectic - my husband thought he had a flu, but it is actually strep throat. This year has just been one health thing after another. I am grateful they are mostly mild and resolve quickly, it is just so relentless to be always sick or recovering or caring for someone who is sick.
