Another (US, yes, other cultures feel free to substitute your own here) Thanksgiving. I don't really enjoy turkey, I have food issues anyway, feasting is very conflicted.

Then, there is the enforced extended family togetherness, the clueless rightwing folks carrying on vs the suffering vegans. Everyone expected to be happy. This is almost beyond cliché, but it's real, happens every year.

Fuck family gatherings on holidays. Too ritualistic and anticipated to flake out of. I don't want to be around extended family for an entire day. I barely want to be around myself for an entire day.
