One of my favorite parts of the Thanksgiving parade is seeing how folks show up. The Civic Federation had a loosely decorated SUV with two folks in it, windows up like they’re just passing through. The Renters Alliance had a bunch of folks and brought the energy. Bonus Flash bus because I love it.

One time during a youth group event I got in a fair amount of trouble for "consecrating" Mountain Dew and Doritos, so this is a handy reference guide for past me.
I don't think this requires further comment from me.

Hey, if you could please let your friends know that @hyperfixedpod.bsky.social exists -- we have a new episode out tomorrow, and if we can get to 200k listeners an episode, that would be enough for us to live off of (and we're about halfway there!) Thank you so much.
