We know Thanksgiving can be a little stressful. Conversation is always difficult at the dinner table with all of your relatives. We’re here to help. Here are five conversation starters for your Thanksgiving chats!

5. “I’m really liking my philosophy of gender and sexuality class!”

Relatives love to hear about how your classes are going. Make sure to let him read the syllabus, too!

4. “We should replace the stuffing with kale next year.”

It has lots of vitamins and powerful antioxidants. It would be great for your cholesterol, Uncle Bill.

3. “I’ve been thinking of trying he/they pronouns.”

This Thanksgiving is the Thanksgiving of bravery and honesty! Get it all out there. Cheers!

2. “I think they should rename it the Gulf of Latinx to be more inclusive.”

Share your ideas with them! This is great conversation.

1. “Instead of saying grace, I think we should do a land acknowledgement.”

It could go something like this:

“We would like to begin this Thanksgiving by acknowledging that the land on which we gather is the occupied/unceded/seized territory of the ___ People.”

What is there to say about Dylan Lane Mitlehner that has not already been said. He is the beginning, he is the end. He is the king of all kings, he is the footman slain on the field of battle. He always tells the truth yet always lies. He is the tallest mountain of creation and he is its most insignificant pebble. He is nothing, has nothing, and will always be nothing, and yet he is all that will ever be. As the great Tolstoy said, “we sleep when we don’t love. We are childwen of the dust… but one falls in love and one is a God, one is pua’ as on the fihst day of cweation…” (War and Peace Book II, Chapter IV).
