Be over already, 2016. This year was endurable because of this place. Thank you.
Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

Goodbye and Good Riddance 2016: We know the world didn't end, because, check it out!
Every year we watch the Charlie Brown special, do the Snoopy dance, wish everybody a Merry Thanksgivukkahmas, and thank our Secret Santas in the good riddance thread. Which is this one, in case you were wondering.
Go away, 2016.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Darling, wonderful people,
I am thankful for you. I am thankful for your kindness and compassion. I am thankful for your intelligent discussion. I am thankful for your activism and your times of reflection. I am thankful for your wit, for your ribaldry, for your silliness. I am thankful for your encouraging words and for sharing the times when you need encouragement. I am thankful for your love. I am thankful for you.

I can't even.
Happy Thanksgiving, USans, and 2016, may choirs of angels boot you in the backside out the door. I feel a bit bereft and betrayed that John Oliver shut down for the year already, because his show was one of my coping mechanisms, but I carry that Daily Show-esque snark with me every day and I feel connected to Buffistas.

Happy Thanksgiving, Buffistae!
Here's my Thanksgiving playlist if you need a little background music while prepping and lounging about: [link]
It's a bit heavy on the folky but ranges freely.

That was viscerally satisfying. Thank you, David.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I was hoping that's what that was.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
This is a most welcome thread. Happy Pie for Breakfast Day, all who celebrate!

The status is NOT quo.
That was amazing. Thank you, John Oliver.
