Thanksgiving #1 down. I will vote for whichever presidential candidate commits to adding ham to American thanksgiving dinner.

A plate piled high with bread, salad, squash, carrots, ham, turkey, stuffing, and mashed potatoes, all smothered in gravy.

A display in a corner of a room of a Canadian flag, a large map of a lake, and a sign that says "Gather with a grateful heart" in that Live/Laugh/Love font that makes me want to puke.

Read Big Dead Place. Very good. Gandolfini was going to turn it into a miniseries before he died. Sadly, the author is also dead. Good book though!

Thank you! I have yet to see any flight with an Antarctic destination airport.

The Boston marathon runs through my town and, though I can’t make it every year, I absolutely love it. Anyone with a name on their shirt gets cheered on by name.

Found this in a 1981 Conan the Barbarian comic book. I salute you across the gulf of time, Horny Enough to Cut Out a Newspaper Ad Kid.

Ad for Tarzan the Ape Man starring Bo Derek and Richard Harris, with the line “The most beautiful woman of our time in the most erotic adventure of all time” and art of Derek in a straw bikini swinging on a vine against a white background

I took lessons largely in part to get over a crippling fear of flying. Thought I’d be ok as long as I was in control I was wrong. Got over it eventually but there are cheaper ways of doing it.

Nothing makes me feel more stupid than listening to two people discussing a film.

Them: "The director was clearly using light as a metaphor for man's fear of the unknown, as the camera pans down slowly, the almost imperceptible change in the aperture..."

Me: "I like movie. Movie good."

I've made a ton of friends, had meals with friends all across the country, found fellow fans of a certain band, got my photo on a wikipedia page, built a giant chain of wooden blocks with 150+ Twitter handles written on them, spread wooden bowls and items all over America. So, no.

We had these Baby Einstein VHS videos that claimed to make kids smarter but, not only did we not believe that, we didn't care because the videos kept our kid's attention for like 20 minutes while we took a quick nap. I am very much a "just keep them busy" parent.

Explain your username

I used to hike and climb mountains. This one was special to me. When it came time to pick a blog name back in the blog days, I chose bondcliff. I then started using it for a username. I don't really hike or climb much anymore but I still like the name.

jessamyn @librarian.bsky.social · 4d

Explain your username:

Jessamyn was taken. I am a librarian for a job and I use Bluesky slightly more for work stuff. I'm also on Mastodon at @[email protected]

Matthew Noe @noethematt.bsky.social · 4d

Explain your username:

My last name is Noe. My first name is Matthew.

People have made weird jokes about "Noe" (some haha cringe, some rude and bullying) my entire life.

I thought it was an amusing way to reclaim some of that back in 2008. And despite me not loving "Matt" it is pithier 🤷‍♂️

I hope I'm wrong. A lot of the hardcore Rush fans I know strike me as the same type who get mad if there's an Asian woman in Star Wars so I'll be curious to see how it goes.
