I don't have the energy to post about every atrocity, so let me just state for the record - I am against all of the bad things.
Cooked for @luxastarte.bsky.social and my mother-in-law, who, from our suggestions list, chose Happiest Season, the KStew lesbian holiday movie, as our festive viewing.

On the parade I heard “Taylor Momsen with MoveNYC,” and my brain was like, is there an organized campaign to relocate the entire city? Where are we moving it to?

I would read a retrospective piece on Macy’s Thanksgiving Day performers to see if any of the non-famous ones got their big break on a televised canned green bean float.

Taking some NyQuil for a break from my seasonal sniffles (not covid and I tested just to be sure). I will surely get 8 perfect hours of restful sleep and wake refreshed. There is no way I will have to claw my way back out of the abyss instead.

One article of my personal faith is that if you play Dolly Parton’s music while you cook, it serves to bless the food and makes it taste better.

Its important that I make the chicken and dumplings a day ahead so that I have 24 hours to get the flour out of my hair, the rug, every groove in the counters, and so on.

Truly one of my most cherished traditions.
A reminder because it’s grocery crunch time: if you get a spare cheap pumpkin pie, you can have it for breakfast tomorrow while watching the Thanksgiving parade.

I once asked a bookseller at a large indie store how many people would have to buy a book for it to get the attention of the store buyer and cause an additional order and they said: Three.
I see some book piracy discourse, and, to make a positive argument in favor of buying books, your marginal ability to influence what books get published and support the careers of writers you like is massive compared to most other forms of media.

The algorithm sent me an ad for hats for people with extremely large heads. It’s not wrong, but it’s not polite to point out either.

A friend brought me two loaves of fresh homemade bread, and I realize I’m thousands of years late on this, but we should all quit what we’re doing society-wise and just bake bread for each other.

Explaining to my wife why I’m not very into Westerns or space stuff: I dunno. Men seem really into both of them. So that makes me wary about the whole thing.

On our final vet trip, I wasn’t prepared to make arrangements because I’d never lost a pet as an adult. They’re listing them off, and one was to have Janet cremated and scattered at a coral reef and all I could think in the moment was “…our cat never expressed a desire for the sea.”

True story. Before ADHD meds, to fake highly-functioning, I smoked two packs a day and chased them down with a daily 12-pack of Diet Coke *and* 12 cups of coffee (or 12 espressos in to-go lattes). Every day. My whole adult life. Now I often forget to even finish my first coffee after I pour it.
I guess I can drink twelve coffees a day while chain smoking if you want me to do this in a socially acceptable manner, I just don't see how that's better for my physical or mental health than Vyvanse, y'know?

My mom (usually amazing): You said you had a hard week. What’s up?
Me: Um. My next door neighbor burned to death in a house fire and then my cat died…
Mom: Oh. I thought you meant work or something.
M’am. Is this not enough for you?

It's not a foolproof plan but every political debate from now on should be a Normal Guy competition. Ask them to describe grocery shopping in detail. Talk about what it's like to have a friend
