I am trying to write my Thanksgiving column, but it turning out to be about discrimination and hate-crimes. I need a better subject for my 750 words.

I have always been fascinated by the story of Squanto a member of the Patuxet tribe and his incredible life, especially how he help make the Pilgrims settlement in Plymouth MA viable.

Maybe a few comments about the play "Latin History for Morons."

Watched a PBS show last night: John Leguizamo's Road to Broadway:

Write how you mom really wants you to visit for thanksgiving because she gets to feel like a mom again, if only for a day.

Personally, I think you should pusue it. The whole Thanksgiving concept is a fucking travesty.

I herd a comedian talking about someone doing a piece about the 3rd Thanksgiving. It's an interesting twist because we usually commemorate the 1st one. Something about how the hosts were starting to realize that the guests weren't going home.. It was funny how he said it. Could be a way to talk about it differently though.

I guess I'd have a hard time writing about it without making it about genocide or immigration. I'm not much fun at parties ?

I think we focus on the negative a lot. Maybe you could write about successes in acceptance and how far we've come?

How. About creativity and art? Love of beauty and life. ? Being happy?

Why do we celebrate thanksgiving? i think i forgot.

Because white peoples immigration status is to be commemorated with gluttony while brown immigrants can do the hokey pokey and turn themselves around. Thats what its all about.

@Wurlitzer It when the Native Americans fed the undocumented immigrants.

@Wurlitzer "...commemorated with gluttony" - I'm definitely gonna regift this. Hilarious.

Only a slight pivot could put you on point. Write about how everyone who was just worried about a caravan of immigrants seeking asylum and safety in a new land no longer gets to celebrate thanksgiving at the adults table.
