Its origin story is problematic, but in reality most people only think of it as a food holiday... and maybe people go around the table and say what they're thankful for. It's pretty divorced from its roots, and the name itself isn't an issue (unlike Columbus Day, for example). But I'm curious to hear other perspectives!

My family has always made beef stew for Halloween! Served with Hawaiian rolls and butter on the side :)

It's pretty similar to this recipe (though personally I leave out the anchovies and pork): https://www.copymethat.com/r/6LA2PJwJL/best-beef-stew/

In your example though, you said "when people [ask] me if I'm a boy or a girl...", so it's possible the above poster figured you were being asked that by a cis hetero person (since, as you point out, you're unlikely to be asked that by a queer person). In that case, odds go up that the attack helicopter grossness might apply.

I'm extra glad now that I don't eat pork.

Nice, thank you! Trying it out now. Font is crazy small (even after trying to make it bigger) and there seems to be some comment nesting issues, but excited to see it evolve :)

I'm so sorry. Losing a pet is a special kind of pain, and thinking about losing a parent on top of that must be way too much to process at once. Sending love.

Such a great book. I definitely recommend everyone read it!

Do you do a backdoor Roth IRA? Between that and stock sales, last time I tried freetaxusa it wasn't possible.

Yes! I love to reread my favorites. It's like visiting old friends. Pride and Prejudice, Lord of the Rings, the Wheel of Time, Matilda, Watership Down. Can you look at a favorite painting too much? That's how it feels to me- another visit to a beautiful work of art.

I just finished a reread of the WOT books. Would you recommend the Death Gate Cycle as a good way to fill the gap that I'm now feeling from a lack of a 10k-word series to sink into every night?

I use Google Fi for my cell service and have loved it, but them killing off or selling so many of their products has me real nervous over here...
