Thanksgiving is upon us and therefore here are my 24, mostly geeky, reasons to be thankful this year:

1. Gravity Falls. Love this show. I only weep that there are no more episodes.
2. Steven Universe. I love you, Garnet! You are my everything!
3. On a related note – sharing fandoms with my family.
4. Father Daughter cosplay. Behold.
5. Rey!
6. Bitch Planet, Thor, Mockingbird, Heathen – so many great comics
7. Hall H.
8. My daughter’s extended family of Aunties and Uncles at Baycon and Convolution.
9. The fact that middle school is only two years long.
10. My stuffed octopuses.
11. Advance review copies.
12. The Monterey Bay Aquarium.
13. The entire cast of Orphan Black.
14. Naveen Andrews playing Sayid. Lost ended a long time ago, and you know Sayid and I did have our ups and downs, but he and his angst and his endless supply of tank tops will always have a special place in my heart.
15. This pic.
16. The battle of the white nightgowns in Crimson Peak.
17. Everything about Captain America: the Winter Soldier.
18. Everything about Kubo and the Two Strings.
19. The sloth in Zootopia.

20. This song!

21. Intra-library loans.

22. The fact that my daughter learned how to make pie so I don’t have to make it anymore.

23. Pie!

24. My followers!

What are you thankful for?
