Things I'm Thankful For Right Now

Happy (American) Thanksgiving!

1. Hollywood careers tanking so the actors are left to do Netflix Christmas movies

2. Matty Healy sending Taylor Swift “The Downtown Lights”

3. Sarah J. Maas not announcing the next ACOTAR, which gives me time to finish Throne of Glass

4. Similarly, Goodreads, for reminding me I have not finished a book in about two months

5. The color blue for reminding me that people who play stupid games win stupid prizes

6. Black Friday sales being only 20-25% off, which saves me from buying anything, because since WHEN is Black Friday only 20-25% off????

7. GoingtoTargetat5amonFridayGoingtoTargetat5amonFridayGoingtoTargetat5amonFriday (I’m really excited about it, I swear)

8. The Canadian border for always giving me smooth passage into their country

9. LinkedIn, not for telling me when all my friends and classmates get jobs, but for humbly reminding me that I have not

10. The Lions for being the greatest in the league because Swifties who blindly support the Chiefs really just bother me

11. My Uniqlo pants because they are not a jean, nor a trouser, and not even a full-on sweatpant so I can be comfy yet still dressed appropriately at all times

12. Jonathan Bailey

13. And finally, my friends for all being super slay and successful which means they don’t come home for Thanksgiving anymore but they still read my Substack and that’s truly what matters most
