Back home now, so here's some assorted Animal Crossing pics from this past weekend.
We celebrated Turkey Day. I visited two of my nephew's islands and dropped them off some bells so they could pay off some loans. I also celebrated Kabuki's birthday.
Solid long weekend.

Thankful for uneventful Thanksgiving travel
Another year of Thanksgiving travel is in the books, and this year’s edition of it somehow happened without any flight cancellations, interruptions or even delays. That feels like even more of a miracle than the phrase “no delays” might suggest, because 2025 has been such a snakebit year for air travel.
It started with the horrifying news of an almost 16-year streak of zero fatal crashes among U.S. airlines ending a few miles from my house, went on to feature months of meltdown-level disruptions among flights in and out of Newark that by summer had sent EWR to the bottom of my list of United hub airports, and then it left already-stressed air-traffic control employees working for more than a month without pay courtesy of the government shutdown.
But after all that, Wednesday’s JetBlue flight from National Airport to Boston arrived at the gate at BOS six minutes early, after which Saturday’s United nonstop from Boston to Dulles reached its gate exactly on time. Service was great on each flight, the WiFi worked fine, and even the planes were above average: a four-year-old Airbus A220 on the flight up, a renewed Boeing 737 with screens at every seat on the way home.
The experience feels even more like winning a lottery ticket considering some of the miserable Thanksgiving travel experiences I’ve had in the past. I’m thinking about when coming home for the holiday meant a long drive interrupted by Breezewood, Penn.; the subsequent years when a theoretically short drive to a suburb of Philadelphia could become a three-hour slog; most of all, the decade and change when the Thanksgiving journey either involved taking Amtrak and then two NJ Transit trains or spending four-plus hours on I-95 and the Jersey Turnpike that could easily stretch past six hours on the roads.
(It’s kind of crazy that I have hosted Thanksgiving dinner in my own abode only twice since leaving for college: Everybody visited us in 2019 for a change, and then the pandemic put a family reunion out of the question the next year.)
Now that my mother and my brother and his family all live in the same town just north of Boston, I just have to deal with spending money, not time. But as expensive as Thanksgiving flights can be, they beat the absurdity of driving 450 miles and change on the busiest travel weekend of the year. Bonus: The flights, even if I chance a connection, are so short that I can bring a container of frozen pumpkin puree in my carry-on luggage and not worry about that pie ingredient melting before I’ve reached family.
I’m thankful for having this part of holiday travel easier than it used to be. And I’m thankful, as ever, for everybody connected with the travel industry who worked this holiday so that the rest of us could travel for it.

My neighbors did the sweetest thing. They saw me doing dishes in the front window, and they knocked on it and scared the SHIT out of me. But they thought I didn't have food so they brought a plate over. That's very sweet!
But I did cook a full Dinosaur Day menu, it's just that it was for one. Remember my roommate left?
So I assured them that I had plenty of food and thanked them gratefully.
And of course I HAD dirty dishes because of all the food I made.

Most years I do the bird, this year in the smoker, and it turned out pretty damned good. Also do the cranberries, which are more reliable and that also turned out pretty great. Yats did vegetables and stuffing and gravy which were all brilliant.
I got brought up with #Thanksgiving but we acknowledge it as #IndigenousPeoplesDay.

History Of Thanksgiving
Cool, here’s a more in-depth look at the history of Thanksgiving — how it evolved, some of the lesser-known facts, and how it became what we celebrate today.
Thanksgiving didn’t start as a clean, one-time “Pilgrims and Native Americans sit down for turkey” story. Sure, there was that 1621 harvest feast between the Plymouth colonists and the Wampanoag people — but the reality of that gathering was more complex. The colonists probably hunted duck or geese, and the Wampanoag likely brought venison. That 1621 event was more of a multi-day harvest festival than a fixed holiday.
Over the following centuries, different colonies and states held days of “thanksgiving”—usually as religious days of prayer, often when something major happened (like a drought ending or a war victory). These weren’t uniform: different places celebrated on different days.
The idea of a national, annual Thanksgiving really took off thanks to **Sarah Josepha Hale**, an editor and writer. For decades she pushed for a unified national holiday — writing letters, editorials, and generally campaigning. Her persistence paid off when **Abraham Lincoln**, in the middle of the Civil War, proclaimed Thanksgiving a national holiday in 1863 (on the last Thursday of November) to help bring the country together.
After Lincoln, presidents continued to issue Thanksgiving proclamations almost every year, but the exact date bounced around a little. Then, in the 20th century, **Franklin D. Roosevelt** caused a stir: in 1939, he moved Thanksgiving earlier — to give Americans more time to shop before Christmas. Many people weren’t thrilled (“Franksgiving,” anyone?), and states were split on which date to follow. Eventually, in 1941, Congress passed a law officially fixing Thanksgiving on the **fourth Thursday in November**.
As Thanksgiving evolved, so did its traditions. Over time it became less about strictly religious observance and more about family, food, and gratitude. Things like parades and football games became tied to the holiday. The Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, for example, started in the 1920s and became a huge national tradition.
Finally, there are modern traditions too: things like volunteering, food drives, and even the presidential “turkey pardon” — where a live turkey is spared from being eaten.

Am I the only one that notices the impossibility of this image? That turkey (and the platter holding it) is likely close to 30 pounds (or ~15kg), and that elderly woman is holding it out at arm's length as if it's a small plate of peas.
I don't think that platter gets to the center of the table without someone holding it from each end. #NormanRockwell #FreedomFromWant #Thanksgiving

A minor Thanksgiving miracle: more pie, less family tech support
Another Thanksgiving with the East Coast side of my extended family has ended, but this one broke with precedent in one welcome way: I spent shockingly little time on family tech-support duty and instead had that much more time for eating, napping, and eating some more.
I would give myself credit for that for buying my mom a 2021-vintage iPad on sale two years ago, but the appreciation properly goes to Apple for making app and system-maintenance updates in iPadOS such an automatic proposition.
When I picked up Mom’s iPad Thursday to see if it needed any software care and feeding, the only update awaiting an install was the unthrilling iPadOS 18.
I took care of that chore, explained the release accurately-enough as “they added a calculator,” and moved that app’s icon to the first home screen. My mother’s aging iPhone, meanwhile, was too old for iOS 18 but had no other updates pending.
Which is great! I’ve spent way too much time at other holiday family gatherings downloading and installing software updates that had escaped other people’s attention.
My sole other tech-support task for my mom was setting up a passkey for her Google account. Not that I expect she will be using it regularly, but that extra layer of authentication might save a step in troubleshooting later on for me or my brother (who works in IT in a Windows-first environment, so family Apple support usually falls to me).
With those digital duties out of the way, I had that much more free time left over for such more important work as making pumpkin pie from scratch (pictured above). And this go-round of Thanksgiving treated me to yet another minor miracle: Enough of my contribution to dessert was left over in the wake of Thursday’s gluttony for me to enjoy a slice of pie after dinner Friday night.

#NativeAmericans Hold #NationalDayOfMourning on #Thanksgiving
"'Thanksgiving' is a white-washed holiday designed to conceal its true origins of violence, #genocide, #LandTheft, and #ForcedAssimilation," - #IndigenousEnvironmentalNetwork.
Jessica Corbett
Nov 28, 2024"In contrast with Thanksgiving celebrations across the United States on Thursday, Native Americans held a National Day of Mourning, promoted accurate history, and championed Indigenous voices and struggles.
"Despite rainy conditions, the United American Indians of New England held its 55th annual National Day of Mourning at Cole's Hill in Plymouth, Massachusetts. Kisha James, who is an enrolled member of the Wampanoag Tribe of Gay Head (Aquinnah) and also Oglala Lakota, shared how her grandfather founded the event in 1970 and pledged to continue to "tear down the Thanksgiving mythology."
"The past influences the present" and "the settler project" continues with racism, misogyny, and anti-LGBTQ+ discrimination, James told the crowd. "The Pilgrims are not ancient history."
"James took aim at fossil fuel pipelines, oil rigs, skyscrapers, corporations, the U.S. military, mass incarceration, and the criminalization of immigrants, and declared that "no one is illegal on stolen on land."
"Jean-Luc Pierite, a member of the Tunica-Biloxi Tribe of Louisiana and president of the board of directors of the North American Indian Center of Boston who helped organize this year's gathering, told USA Today that "while we are mourning some tragic history but also contemporary issues, we are also expressing gratitude for each [other] and building this community space."
"Coming together as a community for a feast and to express gratitude—that's not something that was imported to this continent because of colonization," Pierite said. "Indigenous peoples have had these practices going back beyond, beyond colonial contact."
This year's event in Plymouth included speeches about the suffering of Palestinians—as Israel wages a U.S. government-backed war on the Gaza Strip that has killed at least 44,330 people, injured 104,933, and led to a genocide case at the International Court of Justice—and of people impacted by extractive industries.
"The message from Indigenous peoples internationally has been consistent: that we need to center the development of traditional ecological knowledge, Indigenous knowledge, and move away from fossil fuel extractive economies," said Pierite. "At this time the world needs Indigenous peoples."

Of all the things to be grateful for, how lucky I am that my husband's mom adores me, and I love her right back. Sure makes life easier!
Especially since my own mother rejected me, and I spent many Thanksgivings alone, it's a happy irony that I have so much mother love in my life today.

My aunt is making borscht and piroshki for Thanksgiving, using my great grandmother's recipes.
My great grandmother ushered the family from Odessa to Shanghai to Hollywood between the Russian Revolution and WW2.
She was my first babysitter. (Women in my family live very long lives.)
The picture below is of my great grandmother "baboo" and me, drawn by my grandmother.
