Shit that you overheard during Thanksgiving (2021)

I own "cool" guns and I'm praying that someone doesn't ask to see them this time because there are like 20 people here. None of us are above lower middle class so most of them have never held more than a pump-action bird gun

some cousin showed up in a sweatshirt announcing pronouns: she/they.
ain't no relief.

so everybody started, "Hey she-they, how was your drive here? how far was it & how bad was the traffic?"
"Hey she-they, did you bring that sweet potato casserole?"
"She-they, did you see any of those Braves games? Awesome shit!" ... and after being called she-they another dozen times, she-they took off the sweartshirt where there was a plain black t-shirt underneath.

if she-they'd complained, it would be "But we called she-they what they wanted to be called, didn't we? WHAT is the fucking problem?"

you see why i still love the South? its the STYLE. 8)
bullying like this would fix people before but now i fear they will simply retreat to discord and be more validated

Don't have any family over so it was a relaxed day just the way we like it. We're instead going to do all the Thank-Christmas stuff next month. Made a nice lunch, gave the kitties some extra food and really its been rather nice so far. I cut too many green onions is about the biggest flub so far. Not looking forward to washing the dishes though it was only a couple of 'em, I'm just lazy.

I hope everyone who isn't able to enjoy a quiet day enjoys the food, chatter, and chaos despite it all.
 
My family's gotten bored of the same old same old Thanksgiving spread and it's usually hot on Thanksgiving here so the past couple of years we've done something different. Last year we grilled burgers and hotdogs, and I think the year before that we did chili. This year is gumbo. Also we eat later in the afternoon closer to dinner time instead of making everyone get up at 3 in the buttfuck morning.

Family, politically, is mostly cohesive right wing. Some spread between Fox News normiecon and elements of Qtardism. One of my cousins is a lesbian who thinks Twitter is real life but mostly keeps political shit to herself. So no overblown arguments about politics ever really happen at our Thanksgiving stuff.
 
boutta head out soon, spent the morning lurking everywhere, seeing how everyone else is spending the day.
gonna spend the afternoon with family and the rest of my night with lancer2 :) shaping up to be a comfy holiday this time around.
happy thanksgiving everyone
 
the matriarch of my Thanksgiving is all "woe is me, what have I done wrong?" out loud but also silently somehow, because her youngest son isn't making the 1-hour drive to come with his girlfriend of 10 years who has been slowly isolating him from existing family and friends so that she can be co-dependent with him forever. It's dour but otherwise normal. I don't like Thanksgiving because the relatives that show up all bury themselves in devices or Hallmark movies and don't interact, yet my presence is expected. But I show up and you don't talk to me who's here, and would rather bitch about the son and GF absent.

I've seen worse raw deals, I can put up with it. Friendsgiving tomorrow will be better.
