So here is a Thanksgiving essay I wrote for an Australian audience, knowing it would be published after American Thanksgiving. Australians do not, of course, celebrate Thanksgiving, and even if they did, this piece is so intrinsically stupid, it would be stupid anywhere on the globe, at any time of the year. I thought I’d share it today, on Giving Tuesday, as a gift to you. You can read it and think happily to yourself, “At least I never wrote anything this stupid.”

I freaking loved that.
I can’t express how much satisfaction I got reading your 3 stages, then playing scenarios out in my head and having my own little laugh…in my head of course. You’re one funny chick Simcha.
You made me Google ‘Waldorf school’.
It sounds a lot like the school Eustance and Jill go to at the beginning of “The Silver Chair”.
You always make me laugh. I mean, not when you’re trying to be serious! Then you make me think. And I can usually tell the difference.
I’ll be out in the yard on the cinderblock, as I will defend the Oxford comma to the death!
A new Simcha Fisher post? YEET!!!
