This year is my first year intentionally not celebrating this colonial holiday. I miss the food, but I feel good missing it. And socially, this is awkward as fuck. What do you say in reply to “Happy Thanksgiving” when you no longer follow the event? Asking for my FY26 therapy sock puppet.

Don’t forget! Save your money, y’all!

Farmworkers feed us year-round. This #Thanksgiving we should be even more grateful to the hands that feed us. #WeFeedYou

So, umm… I’m just gonna say it… All the pardoned turkeys are white… There hasn’t been a brown turkey pardoned, no evidence of ever. Truman ate his brown turkey before Kennedy pardoned his white turkey. PLEASE PROVE ME WRONG! 🦃 #presidentialpardon #turkey www.npr.org/2025/11/25/n...

I missed posting Day 1 but better late than never. Viva Day 2 and beyond! If you can’t fully participate in ‘blackout’ types of activities, do what you can. Avoid big stores and take some time off work if at all possible. Any bit will help add up and #blackoutthesystem!

YES we are boycotting Ben & Jerry’s. Y’all, if you love🍦and you appreciate how Ben and Jerry’s USED to be before Unilever fired Ben & Jerry’s CEO for speaking out in support of Human Rights, take a gander. #freebenandjerrys #unilever

“When agencies like the USDA or FDA halt or scale back operations, there are ripple effects through the supply chain because of the effect on crop payments, insurance, inspections, and nutrition programs,” which generally leads to higher prices and food quality health risks. #RepublicansCantGovern

Hey, farmers/producers! You need to be seen, not just from the road! This winter, look at your digital footprint. Bet you don’t have much of one. Don’t have a website? Let’s get that goin for ‘26.

This landowner with technical and financial assistance treated the highly invasive Huisache plant. For now it looks good, landowner has the upper hand today, but you can not negate annual maintenance going forward. Along with grazing management, let grass compete with invasive plants.
