Holidays Begin

Happy Thanksgiving, for those who celebrate it. Some Native Americans observe it as a day of mourning, while some ignore that to feast with family. I've seen posts on Bluesky even calling today another "Indigenous People's Day" as well. There was a lovely poem by Weyodi Oldbear saying "today is about the pie." I like this thread too from Willie Jack's Favorite Uncle. This year, Molly of Denali's Thanks-For-Giving episode had Grandpa Nat teach Molly about Thanksgiving as a day of mourning. I'm confused about this being Trini's first Alaskan Thanksgiving, though. Maybe that means that on the previous years, her family traveled back to Texas to celebrate with relatives there.

I have this weekend off and will spend it with family starting tomorrow, but today I'll spend on my own. I once again have to get caught up on my continuing education credits and do chores like laundry.

Yes I heard about Israel's ceasefire with Hezbollah, but what's the point of that if they're still attacking Lebanon? Fuck Netanyahu, and I hope he does get arrested for war crimes. Biden, stop putting out statements condemning the ICC arrest warrants. You know, you can just choose to stay silent, instead of backing up Israel's war?

I'm thankful at least that Derek Tran won his election in Orange County California, so our House numbers are a little better. Orange County is also the setting of Arrested Development, so it's nice to see it's not totally Republican anymore.
