Oh geez Bev. Glad it’s not worse but sorry it is at all!
Gotta say 2026 is not impressing me so far (*cough*Venezuela*cough*).
We'd be dead. Can't get paid if you're dead.

Goodbye and Good Riddance 2025: This too shall pass. Like a kidney stone.
Every year we watch the Charlie Brown special, do the Snoopy dance, and wish everybody a Merry Thanksgivukkahmas in the good riddance thread. Which is this one, in case you were wondering.Take stock, reflect, butch, moan, vent, celebrate. We are all here for it. So long 2025; do better 2026.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
2025 sucked a lot for me and mine.
My mom passing is a major reason. Mr. S being at the RTC all year is another. Perimenopause is hitting hard, between the hot flashes and the interrupted sleep every night.
Of course there's all the crap the government has pulled. I did not lose my job due to DOGE shenanigans, but two of my labmates did. Also having to work without pay for over a month was no fun.
There were a couple of good things in 2025. We got to Worldcon in Seattle, and that was fun. We also adopted two kittens in February. They turned 1 in August, and are still very high energy, and very entertaining.
Not liking the way 2026 is going so far...
