@aescling we should watch it in our house tho
@aescling also this weekend ends before tuesday
@aescling kind of doubt we can stream it
apparently the documentary about the Amazon Labour Union is available for streaming this (Black Friday) weekend ONLY
@aescling our experience is that makes it harder to find chocolate not made with slave labour, not easier
we already mostly weren’t buying Hersheys because you know their chocolate is sourced from slave labour however idk where else you can get chocolate in the rough shape of a Kiss
sounds like Hersheys has been union-busting pretty bad at their Stuarts Draft, VA plant too

@noelle so this means i SHOULD be upset about the franksgiving compromise, i guess
@noelle i guess it makes sense that while the fifth sunday before new years might sometimes be in november, it will never precede a thursday which is also in november, but i hadn’t actually done the math to figure that out, or if it swang the other way
@noelle interesting! (i did not mean to delete OP but misclicked and hey you answered the question anyway)
@alis where i live in the States, Reese’s is the usual short form of “Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup”, not “Reese’s Pieces” (which is a less common candy, always said in full)
but i realize that this may not be universal, and the question is ambiguous enough to allow any interpretation! (the spirit of your response holds regardless; it’s just, i imagine, much less common to refer to a single Reese’s Piece than a single peanut butter cup.)
@aescling @coriander @Satsuma anyway an important piece of the plot of the book takes place in a store called “Pinn’s Accoutrements” so i got to hear Simon Jones say the word “accoutrements” many times
@coriander i mean only like romance authors and new york times opinion writers and food journalists / cookbook authors but
