— The best part of the traditional Thanksgiving Dinner is the apps. The best T-Day meal I ever had was the All-Appetizer Friendsgiving I organized in grad school.

Tell me your Thanksgiving Dinner Hot Takes.
I’ll start:
— Sweet Potato Pie is VASTLY superior to Pumpkin Pie
— The best turkey in the world is not as good as an average roast chicken.
— Stuffing should not actually be stuffed inside the bird for several reasons but mostly: Ew

Thank you @heykellyjensen.bsky.social for the opportunity for @padmatv.bsky.social & myself to share what we learned working for Freedom to Read in Rhode Island. Our hope is to make things a little easier for the folks running the next leg of the race!

Thank you veterans for your service! Also thank you active duty members of the armed forces and federal employees for keeping the country going - for some, with unpaid labor. (Photo is the Jamestown Veteran’s Day ceremony stage setup - so beautiful I had to pull over and snap a photo)

Our middle school just presented us with an IEP with one goal for our kid: learning to raise her hand.
