It's only Cancel Culture if it originates in the Cancelle region of France. Otherwise, it's just sparkling consequences.

If you've ever been to the Waterwheel in Ballard, there are 9 days left on the countdown. I've had so many memories, some I don't remember, but all good.
My best friend and I had to close it out with the legendary jello shots.
2025 just feels like closing time for a very specific era of my life.

There's a very good chance my contract is about to end 5 months early at the end of January. Guess I gotta start applying to jobs and projects and revive the shop again now.

Another new year? No thanks, I'd like a gently used 2019.

I almost made it through a year without hurting myself.
And then I slipped and fell in the shower.
I somehow didn't sprain my fucked up ankle, so I'll take the bruises and soreness as a win.
But 2025 does not need to go out with a bang. Just go away.

My favorite little dude gave me penguin slipper socks as an "early Xmas present" this morning before he left for school 🥰
It's good to be back with my Seattle family.

I've been flying on long transatlantic flights for 30 years and for the last year, the flights to Seattle have been causing MdDS. I don't know if it's an age thing or what, but it doesn't happen when I take the same flight back to İstanbul, only when I'm in Seattle.
I hate it.

This is why I still mask and I'm taking a bundle of COVID tests with me back to Türkiye for my family.
The three main symptoms of Covid right now are…
Sore throat
Sinus congestion
Runny nose
AKA “a bad cold” or “awful allergies.”
Please test and recognize that as we gain immunity and the virus evolves you may not experience a fever etc.
LONG COVID, meanwhile, is 1/3.

The subsequent consequences of COVID, in terms of Long COVID, is much more significant than it is for influenza.” Dr. Thomas A. Russo warns about “Stratus” in Prevention Mag. “You can’t count on avoiding severe illness,” even if you’re not in the high-risk group.

Don’t get caught up on the “What I should’ve accomplished this year/setting goals for next year,” trap around this time of year.
January 1 is arbitrary. Don't treat it as a deadline.
You live your life, show up, and set goals that are realistic to you.

My Kraken jersey takes up so much space in my suitcase but WORTH IT when I get to wear it to a game.
The smart thing would be to leave it at my best friend's house in Seattle so it's not taking up space every time but fuck it, I just love having it hanging in my apartment in Istanbul.

I leave for Seattle tomorrow, so I naturally had to take one more ferry ride in Istanbul before 2025 ends.
Looking forward to seeing my Seattle favorites but this is my happy place.
