Thanksgiving, 2013

I've been down and out, but never, thank the gods, actually homeless -- I've always had somewhere to go. Not everyone's that lucky. Joe Jervis saw fit to print this message from Carl Siciliano of the Ali Forney Center at Joe.My.God. as a post for today, and I think he's right: it's a day not only to be thankful for what you have, but to do something for someone who's not as fortunate.

Make your blessings mean something.

Excellent link. How the Christian-Fascists can live with themselves I don't know.

Because they have Truth (TM) on their side -- just ask them.

Besides, it's a lot easier to pray than send food or provide shelter. And it costs a lot less, too.
