+Today's Thanksgiving in the United States which historically is a holiday of
+some sort that I learned about in school and soon forgot because I didn't get
+it. The day's significant to me as a day where usually I can find a good bite
+to eat for cheap (though this is my first Thanksgiving vegan) and as a day on
+which I am reminded how thankful I am for life as it is right now.
+
+I'm thankful for the ceiling above my head and the couch under my feet. The
+walls around the room. The warmth. I'm thankful for the people with which I'm
+staying allowing me to be here and I'm thankful for their friendship. One I've
+known a couple years but it might as well be forever and they've been there for
+me however they could when times were dire and all else was far away, despite
+us not being super close super often. The other I knew in passing and now I get
+to interact with them in person and they're even cooler than I thought they
+were from seeing their stuff on-line. I'm thankful to them for allowing me to
+stay here, and thankful to them for being friends of mine, and thankful to them
+for what they contribute to the world in kindness in general.
+
+I'm thankful for my backpack and what's in it. I have a number of niceties I
+could do without, including the laptop on which I'm typing this, and I'm glad I
+have these luxuries and for my luck in this. I'm thankful for my luck in
+general. There are many who cannot be inside today. Restaurants close on
+Thanksgiving and I worry for those who usually refuge with coffee and their
+belongings at tables in the darker areas of dining rooms. It's cold outside.
+I'm thankful for the food in my belly and the clothes on my back, especially
+for how good the food is here and how clean the clothes are that I'm wearing.
+I'm thankful for the shirt I'm wearing which was given to me by Usagichan and
+I'm thankful for Usagichan's friendship. I'm thankful for my gym pants I use as
+pajamas which were given to me by one of the people who let me stay here. I'm
+thankful to my employers - there will be three to consider this tax season -
+for the wages with which I provide myself the things I need. I'm thankful for
+dry socks and showers and being able to sleep in one layer of clothing.
+
+I'm thankful for my girlfriend and its putting up with my distance, not just my
+physical distance but my emotional distance. I don't have the words to express
+how much I am thankful for it and I am still as amazed by everything it does as
+when we first met. I'm thankful for the lessons partners of the past and recent
+past have taught me. I'm thankful for the love that is given to me and has
+been.
+
+I'm thankful for my sidekick, my roommates' families, my old friends and future
+co-conspirators.
+
+I'm thankful for the contributors to the free software I use. Bastien Dejean
+for bspwm, q66 for Chimera Linux, Torvalds for Linux, the thousands of
+contributors to the bigger projects, particularly Firefox, Xorg, GrapheneOS.
+Emma Tebibyte, Marceline Cramer, and Sasha Koshka are people I talk to on-line
+and who make programs I use, and I'm thankful for them.
+
+I would not be the person I am today without the generosity of others and I am
+humbled by the ease with which good people do amazing things for the world.
