I am very thankful for you too! ....Even if I dont celebrate this dubious holiday XD

Caletara: yeah, we use it as an excuse to have some family foods around here, and occasionally talk about the shitty politics

(of settler colonialism, as opposed to the shitty politics of ...everything, although that sometimes just comes up with)

LOL yeah, thats what my family usually does too. They all just moved to Chicago and Colorado and I've been left all alone. Which is a lot less sad than it seems

Hahahaha that's fair!

family: enjoys turkey
Me: ....imma play games. I dont even like turkey

yeah my extended family is doing a whole group chat "happy thanksgiving!!!!!" thing that's blowing up my phone and i'm like "i ... don't really like this holiday...will anyone notice if i don't say anything...probably not"

right? lol i think the last time i went to a big thanksgiving that wasn't on J's side they straight up forgot how to not put meat in every side dish

HAHAHAHAHAHA yeah. that exactly.

I do the same thing for Xmas actually.

yeah we usually have Xmas here too. like, occasionally visiting family lines up with a holiday just bc of when vacation days at work are? but.

i love the extended family for the most part (i...tolerate the fundies; they pray for my soul, it's a mutual thing) but like. holidays are Too Much.

but! that means i can get some tags done since we're mostly packed

Yeah. That exactly. Its too much. And I'd have to travel now which i do not find fun. Its not worth it

XD i really hope you enjoy your trip!

thank you!!

my religious aunt sent me a long text about god

Joysweeper: FUN
