That non-decision is just fucking awful and I don't know what to do about it.
Sophia, the rest of you are all vaxxed? It'll be inside and you'll all have to unmask while eating, right? Man, I don't know.
I'm doing Thanksgiving with my parents this year - they are fully vaxxed and boosted, I am vaxxed but not yet boosted, we have all been masking up when out in the world, I think we are probably pretty safe. I had forgotten that we opted out of getting together last year until I saw the decision come up in my FB memories, which made me second guess a little bit, but that was pre-vaccination
I can understand the decision of not guilty for some of the counts, but not for all of them. If you arm yourself and go to a place where there is an angry crowd and end up killing someone because you felt threatened, it just doesn't seem right to not bear any responsibility. That can justify a lot of killing.
Fortunately, everybody we are having Thanksgiving with are vaxxed. I have some very conservative in-laws, but they are blessedly not anti-vax.
Yes -t, we are all vaccinated and my mom aunt and I are boostered this week. It is probably a non issue, but I am just angry. Also, I have realized that it is really hard to get a Covid test if you don’t drive, because everything is drive through. If we even have the sniffles, we need the test to work.

Yep, same. Everyone 12+ will be vaxxed (and I think boosted), and we're doing pre-trip tests just in case. (The one under-12 will be half-vaxxed, which is the best we can do given how late the FDA approvals came in.)
I am so done with this country and the disease of gun culture and racism.
I'm on my way home for Thanksgiving right now, although COVID cases are spiking in Michigan and that makes me nervous. Everyone who will be there is fully vaxxed and almost all boosted except the under 12s, who got their first shots recently.
My extended family, though? Let's just say that I will be putting my foot down if my parents think I'm spending time at Christmas with any family members who have chosen not to be vaccinated.
I had to share this with this group. You'll appreciate it.
We are going to my sister's, and they decided everyone attending needed to be vaxxed. I think we're all boosted, too, except for my S-i-L's niece and nephew, but they are vaxxed. It will be just the six of us. A calm Thanksgiving with people who like to play board games. Winning!
We will see my DP's bro and family for dinner out on Monday, AND then we'll see his mom at least once or twice (she's going to the brother's for T-Day), AND I may get to see my friend who lives up there, too. Oh, and DP and I are having brunch on our five year Dataversary at the same place we had our first date, also a brunch. Nice!
We are skipping Thanksgiving this year again. We usually do Friendsgiving but I rented out the local skating rink for 2 hours on Thanksgiving Day. It may only be me, but I will skate and eat pizza.
