The protests that happened at the macy's day parade are so important specifically because they tried to stop people from finding out about them. I watched the whole parade and didn't see a single sign or protestor, because try as they may to claim the show is live, they've been doing this for decades, they have full control over what footage the camera's capture and when ads conveniently cut away from what's happening. I found out from the few people still talking about the protests that there were any happening at the parade today.

They know we're all getting so tired and sad of hearing about what's happening. They want to make it as difficult as possible for us to interact with it, in hopes that we give up. They want you to say "It's Thanksgiving, we deserve a break from hearing about this."

I know that it hurts and it's stressful to try to help, but we have to keep going if we want anything to change. The writer and actor strikes were successful because they didn't give in.

It doesn't have to be much, you don't have to spend your days doomscrolling footage and fighting zionists. Just email your representatives each day, boycott businesses that support Israel, and hang on tight. As long as there is hope, there is a way through. The Palestinian people will be free.

Here’s a festive Throwback Thursday photo from 1969! On this Thanksgiving, the world-famous parade passed the Museum’s 77th Street turret with a very special float: a sauropod dinosaur. This inflatable Apatosaurus measured an impressive 60 ft (18.3 m) long! The giant green dinosaur featured big eyes, a wide grin, and a 20-ft (6-m) tail. The original Apatosaurus balloon made its first parade debut in 1963 and was retired from service in 1976.

Happy Thanksgiving... for those who celebrate it. As far as Thanksgiving goes, I honestly don't care all that much about it. The core narrative is, historically, based on a LOT of BS. The basic messages are all good, but for some reason always require painfully uncomfortable forced, family meals that have RARELY went well. It is, to me, basically just the starter pistol for Christmas. I watch the parade and wonder who all the new celebrities are. The awkward meal happens, then we watch Charlie Brown and a Miracle on 34th Street and usually decorate the tree that night. This year, I wanted to do a strip for Thanksgiving but wanted to avoid the negative stuff. So for me, that's the parade and the food coma. Ta-Da!!!

This was the moment Straw Hat Luffy became "Bucket Hat Luffy" at the 97th Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade on November 23, 2023. A lot of balloons experienced tears and deflation because of windy conditions.

My style is inspired by NYC street fashion and guided by my desire to try new silhouettes and shapes, all brought together by a LOVE OF PATTERNS.”
