Goodbye and good riddance, 2024. Hope the door hits you hard and repeatedly on the way out... not that 2025 and beyond look to be remotely better. (At least I started this year with some shred of hope. So much for that.)

I'm still trying to process the impending end of my country as I know it (or thought I knew it), and how many willingly signed all of us up for the cruel, horrendous things that were promised... Hiding in stories is one way I do that. (It was also a not-very-good month in numerous other ways, including a prolonged power outage killing any vague Thanksgiving Day celebration plans and other Issues, so I really can't say I'm heading into the last month of 2024 with anything but the grimmest of outlooks for the future - and I expect even that much optimism will look laughably naïve by this time next year.)
