Lalo works in the spinach fields near the border in Yuma, AZ. He sent us this video he took with a drone to show the scale of the fields where workers like him are keeping food on our tables.

Thanksgiving is the most American holiday, even moreso than 4th of July IMO, because it's simultaneously grounded in a mythology that papers over the horrors that lie in our history while also celebrating the very best of our mixed culture despite being constantly encroached on by consumerism.

grease floats.

when it flows in sewage and into our plants, it thickens as temps fall, separating in our settling tanks.

the churning water forms grease globs that build like snowballs, and operators remove them so they don’t clog the process.

listen. don’t pour grease down your drains.

Thanksgiving is problematic. Giving thanks is not. As someone who wants to remember the attempted genocide of indigenous people but also likes a reminder to practice gratitude, I like to use Indigenous People's Month to support (and be grateful for) indigenous creators. A partial list! /1

As you’re preparing for your Thanksgiving meal, remember the skilled work it took to get that food to your grocery store.

Tell us your favorite Thanksgiving dish, and we can share some of what we know about the work behind the ingredients.

With DC shooter now identified as an Afghan national not the antifa secret agent White House hoped for a good time to remember the Trump admin has gutted domestic anti-terrorism capacity and reassigned many to finding grandmothers to arrest at immigration hearings.

Trump's speech about the shooting in DC veered into him attacking the Somali community in Minnesota, which of course had nothing to do with the shooting. Gives away his bigoted game.

this should go without saying but if you were one of the lucky few we did get out of Afghanistan during the withdrawal and we got you out because you'd been working with us, deportation back is likely a death sentence.

If you want to see how quickly everyone goes into manufacturing consent mode, compare the full-court press tonight to the response to any of the people ICE has shot in the last few months, some of whom died.

The problem with ICE is not that it's targeting people who aren't criminals. The problem with ICE is that it's an unaccountable secret deportation police. It cannot be reformed under a better president. It can be made less terrible, but the instrument of repression remains for the next tyrant.

Happy Thanksgiving! I wrote something for everyone to discuss around the dinner table when the pie is passed around and everyone proposes specific measures to seize the wealth and break the anti-democratic power of the tech oligarchy.

“Your OD&D will vary.” That’s good and in the spirit of the original game. My foundation is the original 3 books. Then I use aspects of the OD&D Supplements, Holmes Basic, Judges Guild, Strategic Review, and Dragon. I use the AD&D Monster Manual. I also add some of my own stuff to it and experiment.
