Queer Book Recs for Thanksgiving from SBC Seattle
Country decided your rights don’t matter? Family pretending it’s business as usual? Bomb cyclones getting you down? This calls for comfort food.
While the holiday itself is more questionable than Granny Shirley’s Jello salad, *most* of the food that comes with Thanksgiving slaps, and nothing helps the My Family Voted Red blues more than comfort food and a good book.
