Technically, my family already had Thanksgiving on Saturday.
My 18 year-old just wants to chill at home on Thursday. Working retail the day before and the day after Thanksgiving will do that.
I’m helping him make blintz. That was his only request.

Can I tag something onto this grievance?
Every day when I’m driving down 20th st from Grand to SW Blvd, I am white knuckling it and my head is on a swivel. There are lots of crosswalks not at traffic lights and lots of 🚶🚶♀️ but no blinking lights at those crosswalks. Every day I fear for their lives.

I bought an automatic cat feeder and now I have to choose a time?!
I need a random option. I want it to go off sometime between 7 and 8 AM every day. A roll of the dice.
They are fed when I remember in the AM and we all seem good with that arrangement.
I can’t really pinpoint why this upsets me.

When I was in my late teens, early 20s, I tore all the carpet out of my room at 3 AM when my parents were on vacation.
What a fun surprise for them! 😂

I had one of these in my car and found out recently that they make an excellent car pillow with the seat reclined.

Didn’t take my Xanax this am because I rationalized being nervous is a good thing today. I have things to do. I’m going to make my anxiety work for me!

Someone asked for a hotel recommendation in a Teams chat of at least 500 people from KC.

Anyway, trans people, I love us. We're not the problem. We deserve to be supported, cherished, and respected. Our oppressors' craven and soulless hate and violence towards us reveals their own lack of humanity, not ours.
