Happy Thanksgiving

Plus some additions to yesterday's gift guide!

To all those celebrating in America and elsewhere today, Happy Thanksgiving!

May this afternoon find you passed out on the couch after eating turkey and loads of carbs while your weird uncle hovers over you trying to tell you it’s time for pie:

I’m thankful for each and every one of you, readers! Happy Thanksgiving!

Namárië,

Josh
