Sending holiday good wishes to everyone. If you're American, then Happy Thanksgiving! If you're Canadian, then Happy Belated Thanksgiving! If nothing else applies, then Happy Fourth Thursday in November!
Thanksgiving is a wonderful holiday about family, food, and gratitude. What a great tradition!
For family, this year Demeter and I are visiting Persephone at college. We're staying in an Airbnb and we'll be cooking in an unfamiliar kitchen. It's an adventure! I am grateful to be spending time with my extraordinary bonus family, and grateful that I will be spending Christmas with the twins, who get to spend this holiday with their mother's side of the family and their many beloved cousins.
For food, we have a turkey, with green beans, mashed potatoes, and corn. And we've already made the cornbread for my cornbread stuffing.
I love that Thanksgiving is explicitly about gratitude. (It's right there in the name.) The practice of gratitude can be a secular spiritual practice that has both immediate and long-term benefits.
Our environment is, first and foremost, our thoughts. That means that by practicing gratitude, we alter our primary environment for the better.
Thus, joy comes from gratitude.
Here's wishing you every joy today and far into the future!

Hey everyone. Mr. Technodad here.
February 24, 2011. Took my boy to Disneyland. We rode on all these amazing and fun rides. Had a great time.
Eventually we came to this carousel and we wanted to ride. "Which of the many brightly colored and exotic land and sea animals shall we ride on?" We chose "The Chair". The most plain and boring fixed seating option available. We rode on it because we were iconoclasts, non-conformists, rebels. We were wild and we didn't care who saw us. We laughed and laughed.
"The Chair"
Eleven years ago today, October 29, 2013, Alex created the Technoblade channel. I think you know the one I mean?
Today we published the trailer for the upcoming Festival of Voices 2024. A big Minecraft fundraising event, with so much variety and color. This year the event is being run by Noah "Unpopular opinion but ..." Pikaclicks. I am very happy about that.

Hearing his voice, his clear, sweet voice, on that trailer. It was something, let me tell you.
My wife and I founded the One of Us Global Foundation to continue and expand on the work Alex had done to make the world a better place. We have a wonderful collection of people working together with common values and common goal.
If you'd like to read more about the foundation, please visit our website:

Thank you all so much for keeping the memory of my boy in your hearts. I am so grateful to all of you. Even that one guy who leaves those comments.

Countdown to Potato Seeds!
Hi everyone! Mr. Technodad here.
As you may be aware, the One of Us Foundation is the nonprofit foundation that my wife and I started in memory of Technoblade. We've been kinda quiet for a while but that changes today, with the announcement of our first program, "Potato Seeds". This is a youth-oriented microgrants program that we are very excited about. If you're interested, please take a look at the website and read more about the program. And perhaps ask yourself how a little bit of seed money could help you make a difference in your community.

Behind the scenes at my latest video.
Had a fancy wood stage and weird semi-purple translucent box accents. Marvel at the use of actual lighting!
You can also see the overhead camera on a boom just above my desk.
It was a fun shoot.
