I am a person who exists.

(She/they)
After dinner I get to have spiked eggnog!

It's beers for during cook time - to keep us fortified. Yes, we eat late but we're also on the West coast so it's only 7:30pm here.

Sometimes I hear House Sounds and for a split-second I think we have a hot tub because it sounds like my grandparents' hot tub at their old house.

Damn I want a hot tub so bad.

OK so I hope this doesn't get me banned, but my most controversial Thanksgiving opinion is that those pilgrims & puritans shoulda been merked as soon as they got off their ships.

Doomsday cults are bad 💅.

My husband just told me he was carrying my engagement ring around in his tiny oants pockets for MONTHS before he asked me to marry him.

He is so sweet! It's been almost 13 years since that proposal and we are still all lovey dovey with each other ☺️.

Even scarier the DoorDash dude came back the next day.

Without farmworkers we wouldn’t be able to celebrate Thanksgiving. Be thankful for their hard work this holiday season!

Sin los trabajadores agrícolas no podríamos celebrar el Día de Acción de Gracias. ¡Agradece su arduo trabajo en estas fiestas!

THE TWENTY FOURTH TIME

Mohamed does NOTHING wrong or even remotely "spam" like it (and who cares if people *do* tag- wouldn't you???), this is simply Bluesky targetting and erasing Palestinians
Hello friends / For the 24th time, my account has been banned / I don't know what I did, but I know I'm a Palestinian from Gaza facing genocide / Onions are growing well, please share so my words reach people

This is my niece… a little girl crying, with no milk, no diapers, no warm clothes, and no shelter from the winter cold.
Seeing her suffer breaks my heart.
She’s crying and desperately needs help.

We're all on stolen land.
Donate to the Native Organizers Alliance today, if you can.

Hot damn! I got the spinache & artichoke dip, and the green bean casserole made! They're in the fridge and ready to pop into the oven tomorrow.

Husband's drying out the brined turkey drumsticks & sticking them in the fridge.

We didn't get as much done ahead of time as I wanted, but we did a lot ☺️!

Why is it so fuuucking difficult to get a burrito without rice in Portland?

I've been here for almost 20 years and there's still rice in my "no rice" burritos! I miss the Sonoran style Mexican food I used to get in Tucson. I miss it so much 😭!

I... accidentally ordered 2 pounds of bananas instead of 2 individual bananas.

Suppose I'll be making a ton of banana bread next week. Like, enough banana bread to freeze and eat for breakfast for the next six months. Omg 😅.

I miss avocado so much 😔.

We have a loaf of peasant loaf we didn't use over the weekend so I am going to make spinache & artichoke dip.

Because I need to use the bread, you see, and we need food to snack on while we cook tomorrow. I'll assemble it tonight so we can just pop it in the oven tomorrow 😏.

I also watched Finding Mr. Christmas ironically last year and ended up genuinely having a good time. Highly recommend!

(Referring to an OP repost w/out QTs).
on recommendation from my sister, I am embarking upon the Hallmark Channel series FINDING MR. CHRISTMAS, a reality show for wholesome men to compete for the right to star in a Hallmark Christmas movie

so excited to learn more from these experts about straight culture

CW: violent colonial oppression and glorious revolution.

RRR is a god-tier movie.

This song, in particular, has one of the most beautiful and haunting melodies I've ever heard in my life.
I'm not crying. YOU'RE crying 😭.

ALWAYS TAKE THE CASH OPTION.
$300 mill is a lot.

"At best, a winner in Wednesday’s drawing can hope for just over $430 million in total annuitized payments, based on one analysis. They would get even less if they opt for the cash option (currently valued at $315.7 million before taxes)."

I have to say that there are very few things as searingly hot, sexy, and attractive as a man who can dance confidently and well... Hell, not even well but *with feeling* and joy.

Not looking at the uptight British asshole here, obvi.

Surprise!
The smoker I ordered for my husband that was supposed to get here today will not be arriving until Saturday.

Guess we'll grill them instead and use a tin packet for the wood chips or something lol.
Since he's smoking turkey legs and we're not roasting a chicken, we won't have pan drippings to make gravy.

Hence, we're making funeral potatoes instead of mac n' cheese or mashed taters w/ gravy.

OK so what TV show or movie is the right kind of loud to cover up the sound of a woodchipper and chainsaws going off in the neighbor's yard ALL DAY LONG?

My whole body is on edge. I am autistically sensitive to sound and this ish is literally immobilizing me. Literally, not figuratively.
I love wood chippers, in theory (Fargo), but not in practice (Ow! My ears)!

Sometimes I feel really lucky that I got to see Bram Stoker's Dracula at a movie theater when I was a kid.

That memory will stick with me forever. Oh! The costumes! And cinematography! 😻.

One thing that pisses me off so much about Microsoft, google, and Adobe, in particular, is that they've added all of these AI "accessibility features" that don't work...
I work in accessibility and AI is very bad for accessibility.

It is so wrong all the time and the access it provides is so substandard, that it can't actually be called access.

Granted, I'm speaking mostly about AI captions and alt text. Just... AI is not an acceptable replacement for human work.
