I have cleverly arranged my schedule so that I can participate in both canadian and american thanksgiving. I have no idea what canadians do for canadian thanksgiving but I ate a lot. wikipedia claims:

While the actual Thanksgiving holiday is on a Monday, Canadians may gather for their Thanksgiving feast on any day during the long weekend; however, Sunday is considered the most common.

which is, frankly, a lot more sane than having specifically thursday off for dinner. no I am not suggesting any amendment to the american practice

#frankly I like eating so I might adopt canadian thanksgiving to me extended schedule of holidays #dont currently have anything between labor day and thanksgiving unless we count 9/11 but that’s still a month ago #fills a good hole

Two-Faced Jewel: Session 26

Boated Off the Island

1d0bc60f8e189033955fc33c56c5ddbc7bebe201

A half-elf conwoman (and the moth tasked with keeping her out of trouble) travel the Jewel in search of, uh, whatever a fashionable accessory is pointing them at.

[Campaign log]

Last time, the party confronted the manager of Cabana Jim’s Luxury Resort and Spa, Miriko Watchwood. Her attempt to reestablish vampiric dominance over the resort in the wake of Cabana Jim’s death was ill-advised and doomed, and they successfully foiled it with a combination of cool-headed diplomacy and brutal emotional manipulation. And now… they want to recruit her???

on the subject of “stuff you didn’t realize other people actually experience”: “brain freeze” is apparently a real thing? I thought it was just a turn of phrase or something but apparently some people experience an intense head pain when eating very cold foods? This has literally never happened to me

Life Hack: horrify people who get brain freeze by biting into popsicles rather than licking them

… y’all don’t bite popsicles??? don’t you like, want to be finished eating your popsicle before you’re dead??

Tumblr now has “community labels”. When I see a description of them that only describes how they behave on the dash, not on the username.tumblr.com view, it allegedly makes me want to engage in cartoonish and unrealistic violence, such as hitting staff with a giant mallet, which I will for this purpose choose to tag with the “violence” label!

This post is in fact viewable at moral-autism.tumblr.com, even in private browsing mode.

are you: right-handed, left-handed, or ambidextrous

and: which finger do you use to hit the spacebar when you type?  left thumb?  right thumb?  both at once?  alternating?  some other godforsaken finger?

among other possible reasons, when you’re taught touch-typing (in my case by the timon and pumbaa lion king typing game), your fingers sit naturally on the home row and your thumbs are perfectly positioned over the spacebar hope this helps
