To anyone who is feeling uncomfortable with and dreading the thought of having to go to this year because you would have to be around people who voted to dehumanize/harm/deport/kill you, your kids, your friends, etc. I need you to please read what I am about to type over and over until it sinks in:

It's okay not to go to Thanksgiving dinner. Its okay to cut them out of your life. Its not about politics. Its about morality.

Its okay.

@Chromino don't go to Thanksgiving. You don't have to!

@Chromino I know it's difficult, but they voted to destroy your life, why should they have the privilege of being part of it ?

@Chromino

Life is too short to be spending time with those who make it their mission to make you feel miserable.

@Chromino

One interesting after-effect of TFG and COVID, we've finally gotten over this nonsense about "blood is thicker than water."

Life is too short to waste any of it on assholes.

@tuban_muzuru @Chromino OH boy, I get to be a pedantic! The full saying is "The blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb," just yet another piece of wisdom ruined by brevity

@TeflonTrout @Chromino

Here's where you're going to get a nice thick slice of TMI. I am not on speaking terms with any of my children or their mother - and my brother is being cremated at this exact moment.

The entire concept of family is overrated.

@Chromino I’m lucky. Going to spend Thanksgiving with my gay niece, her wife, and their two kids. Plus some other relatives, all of whom approve of my niece’s family. I can’t wait!

@Chromino this. It's real and it's sad. *you know who you are*

@Chromino Absolutely!

> Its not about politics. Its about morality.

And it's about your own safety. Stay safe, fam.

@Chromino

We are skipping turkey day with our son ‘cause he’s an idiot.

@Chromino For real. Lots of us who grew up in abusive families have been doing this for years. If you need community on the holidays, look for found family.

@Chromino I'm going to Thanksgiving with my 98% Trumper family, and I'm going to quietly, calmly drop truth bombs about Trump and Republicans **all day**. It'll be a glorious day of witnessing to the blind. It's cool if some folks wanna skip. That's not my style.
