Totally wrong but widely used + em dashes .... if this was a student paper, I would suspect AI.

Such a bummer: Raye’s 'Where Is My Husband!' refused to play during today's mate‑selection lecture for my intimate relationships class.

🤩 very impressive!

That was what we did for Canadian Thanksgiving. 😁

I went with boxed everything and C rallied for the turkey. 😅

It's not Thanksgiving in Canada. So we watched the parade over the sound of our neighbors' condo renovation.

The NYC Thanksgiving parade isn't on TV here in Toronto. So, I had to use a VPN, family Peacock login, and HDMI cord to show the fam the parade. 😅

The family traditional breakfast casserole took 2 1/2 hours instead of the usual 90 minutes to cook. 😳

I thought I made hardboiled eggs in the Instant Pot this morning. Just cracked one .... raw. Maybe I forgot to push the start button?

I'm in trouble. The family chef (sister) isn't here. The two backup chefs (my partner and mom) woke up sick. I think I am the 3rd backup. I bring popcorn to potlucks. 👀 #thanksgiving

It would be fun to see you!
