Why We're Planning to Cancel Our Thanksgiving
🕑 Added 2020-11-12 07:12:22 +0000 UTCSo @joyofnapping and I tried to shoot a video tonight about why we're thinking of canceling our Thanksgiving plans. The video didn't really work out as planned, but here's the audio in podcast/Patreon post form, which you still might find informative!
We discuss our current set up, the plans we had for Thanksgiving, and why we're planning to cancel everything.
We hope whatever you're doing this year that you're staying safe and healthy! Thanks to all of you for continuing to support what I do on the internet.

We are doing the same. I wish more people would. I now have a friend, coworker, and family who either have it or are quarantined because of direct contact. People have been hearing “spiked” and “rise in cases” for so long now those words don’t carry the underlining warning they should - to the point they are not influencing the decision making process of most people. It also sucks this is a country that is “I want that” because if people see neighbors having company, they go with “if they can, why can’t we?” It turns into a domino effect of bad/dangerous decisions like peer pressure for underaged drinking.

This is The Work that I've been hoping you'd lean more into. I didn't know the secret sauce was @joyofnapping. Loved this conversation. Thanks for refocusing us, keeping us informed.
