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.)

End of the month, and the end of an era. I'm switching site hosts, so this is as much a test as an update. If this goes through, then I've successfully relocated and uploaded Brightdreamer Books to DreamHost. If not... well, you wouldn't be seeing it anyway, would you?
