Thanksgiving was mostly unremarkable, except for the fact that I have somehow misplaced three entire sticks of butter.
Per my own testimony, I opened a new box on Thursday. I cut a stick in half for use, and put the other half back in the fridge, along with the box.
The next day, there was no box.

As immigrants with no other family in the states, my parents tried, with varying enthusiasm and success, to recreate an American Thanksgiving for me.
By the time I was a teenager, they just sent me off to celebrate with a friend of mine. His mom is a phenomenal cook, so I had no complaints!

First and last time buying flavored Trader Joe’s cold brew concentrate, ugh. I was tempted because ’maple pecan’ coffee sounded good and the ingredients list said natural flavors, but the artificial aftertaste is so strong I can’t even make myself finish it to not waste it. Nasty.

Allowing billionaires to exist isn’t even good for the billionaires. Having that much money creates so much distance from their fellow people that they shrivel into spiritually-impoverished, emotionally-desolate wastelands of human thought.

Because of the structure of my door, the best way to hang a wreath is a double-sided wreath hanger. Which means I can hang a dried flower wreath indoors.

The best part of writing, and especially writing horror, is when I get to take the person I made up and give them the absolute godawful worst day on the fucking planet.
And then I get to do it again tomorrow!

I’m actually kind of mad at how much running has improved my health markers. Like what the fuck do you mean ’jog a mile like maybe three times a week’ has THAT big of an impact???

Entirely too many people who believe "people can just work with their hands" have never done any kind of actual manual labor in their lives or maybe remember a summer job from their youth with rosy retrospection and don't realize how different that labor is in your 40s and older.
“Humans can just go get manual labor jobs if desk jobs are repaired with AI” is both not going to suffice to provide enough jobs and is also going to result in massive societal anger because manual labor jobs often *are terrible*, which is why people have worked hard to avoid them for generations.
Even if society provided the food/shelter level needs for everyone, humans also need to perform useful work just for basic fulfillment. The vast majority of people cannot sit around all day letting AI and robots do everything.
(The definition of “useful work” here is malleable but still essential)
