Its origin story is problematic, but in reality most people only think of it as a food holiday... and maybe people go around the table and say what they're thankful for. It's pretty divorced from its roots, and the name itself isn't an issue (unlike Columbus Day, for example). But I'm curious to hear other perspectives!

My family has always made beef stew for Halloween! Served with Hawaiian rolls and butter on the side :)

It's pretty similar to this recipe (though personally I leave out the anchovies and pork): https://www.copymethat.com/r/6LA2PJwJL/best-beef-stew/

The way I'm reading that comment is that big noses are a Jewish stereotype, and since the studio decided to cast a white gentile and just stick a prosthetic nose on him, they're leaning into that stereotype. They should've cast someone who was Jewish and also looked like the guy (as a whole... not only his nose).

Casting a white actor and then putting them in blackface so they can play a black person is inherently disrespectful. The history of blackface is too racist and disgusting, that to choose that over simply casting a black person would be wildly out of line.

I'm extra glad now that I don't eat pork.

I'm so sorry. Losing a pet is a special kind of pain, and thinking about losing a parent on top of that must be way too much to process at once. Sending love.

Going to download some of these! I can't wait to hear Face Jam's take on Starbucks' Oleato, lol

Is f**kface the kind of podcast where you need to start at the beginning to get all the jokes? Or can you drop in anywhere?

I haven't heard of these, will look into them! And also tell my partner about the first one, as they're also developing a game :)

I loved that one!! So, so funny. I especially enjoyed when they interrogated their male friend that had hung out in the women's bathroom for several hours haha

I've been really into two lately:

Sinisterhood- stories about all things sinister- true crime, paranormal, etc. Hosted by two ladies, one of which is a lawyer, which really adds to the discussions!

Tooth and Claw- animal attack stories, but with a focus on education instead of sensationalism. I hardly ever go into the wilderness, but if I do run into a bear at any point, I'm going to be SO prepared!!

Yes! I love to reread my favorites. It's like visiting old friends. Pride and Prejudice, Lord of the Rings, the Wheel of Time, Matilda, Watership Down. Can you look at a favorite painting too much? That's how it feels to me- another visit to a beautiful work of art.

I use Google Fi for my cell service and have loved it, but them killing off or selling so many of their products has me real nervous over here...
