Food & Cultural Appreciation, Tuesday Third Period

[carbsliftthespirit]

Raiden's students should have gotten a message last week letting them know class was cancelled due to the upcoming holiday, but in case they hadn't there was a sign on the desk at Portalocity:

Class Cancelled
Your teacher is busy making pie.
Happy Thanksgiving to all who celebrate!

Ethics, Tuesday, November 26, 2024

"There are a lot of ethical minefields to work around when it comes to holiday celebrations," Anakin began. "Familial obligations to see people you might not want to spend time with normally, traditional foods that everyone doesn't love, finding gifts for someone who hates everything--it can be exhausting."

"And that's the best case scenario," Ahsoka added. "It's rarely the best case scenario."

Anakin snickered. "So today we will practice the art of not rising to the bait." Anakin was especially terrible at this.

Case in point. "Like not discussing why some humans seem to be unable to manage their pelts."

"Do you mean Obi-Wan's beard?" Anakin asked.

"I mean some people's beards." Skywalkers as a class did not do facial hair well.

"Because his beard was good," Anakin said, already missing the point of this discussion.

"I never said his beard wasn't." In case anyone had any doubts.

"We'll give you some scenarios--" one would definitely be about commenting on a relative's terrible goatee, "--and see how you do."
