If you celebrated Thanksgiving this week, I hope it treated you well—and that you got at least one excellent pie out of the deal. I’ve been taking stock myself: a body that still mostly cooperates (we’re in ongoing negotiations), a circle of people who make life feel lighter, and the ridiculous good fortune of getting to spend my days doing work I actually enjoy. And I’m grateful for you. Truly. Thanks for reading, replying, sharing, and generally making this little corner of the internet feel like a tiny neighborhood with surprisingly good vibes.
And if you’re outside the U.S. or skipped the whole Thanksgiving thing entirely? I still hope your week had its own reasons to be thankful—big, small, or quietly strange.
