Talking Turkey about Giving Thanks
I hope you're all well fed and have many reasons to give thanks. As el, JtC, and Wendy pointed out this week, the mythology surrounding the holiday is farcical....celebrating the genocide of first nations peoples and the colonization and occupation of their lands...makes America great? Overeating, hyper-consumerism, and football are also typical of the celebration. In my corner of the world huntin' is another part of the tradition. This week we'll take a quick look at the holiday before delving into the news. (6 min)
The Evening Blues - Thanksgiving
Submitted by joe shikspack on Thu, 11/22/2018 - 3:01pmThe time is at hand. I am going to war.
Submitted by JtC on Thu, 11/22/2018 - 12:00pmThere are times in life when decisions must be made. This determination has been gnawing at me for some time and has led to a deep feeling of emptiness in my gut. There is only one way to extricate this feeling from my being. Only one way to fulfill the hunger pangs of my soul. I must go to war.
With fork and knife in hand, I will, on this very day, Thursday 11-22-2018, be attacking, turkey. Lying there, smug in its wonderful aroma, adorned in splendid golden brown armor, prodding me, nay, insisting that I cross the line of table demarcation and carve it into various balkanized sections of deliciousness. I will then devour and digest its very existence and adsorb it unto myself. It is there for my taking, it is destiny. For this I give thanks.
But, as with this time every year, I will also be going to war with myself.

Something to keep in mind…
The report estimated
that the average area burned by wildfires
would increase 77 percent by 2100
and the frequency of
extreme wildfires
would increase by nearly 50 percent
if global greenhouse gas emissions
continue at a high rate
