Yes please, but we also need to talk about that white spot in the middle.
(I would never claim enough expertise to decide if we should join the European Union or not, but I'm damn sure we should keep our friends very close)

I'm still SO looking forward to Lorwyn Eclipsed when/if we actually get product, and OMG do I not recommend putting yourself into a situation where your livelihood depends on the punctuality of UPS 🥴
I guess my judge/TO resume now includes "can run a Prerelease without a shred of the new set"?
Two lost/delayed shipments put us into a situation, but it turns out lots of Prerelease players just want to play and will be happy to participate in an alternative event.
This is an amazing community.

My favourite person had completely busted their pockets. I think I did a really nice job on the replacements 🪡🧶🐞

Oh btw, these are Christmas socks I made and gifted this year 🧶🎄
I don't typically claim to have a plan with my crafts, but this time I did.
The first pair was inspired by gingerbread latte and ice flowers in the morning. The second pair is an ode to the biggest punk in Santa's workshop 😆

My 2025 in books:
Read 37 books. A handful I DNF.
I enjoyed:
- Animorphs by K.A. Applegate
- Realm of the Elderlings by Robin Hobb
- A Wizard's Guide to Defensive Baking by T. Kingfisher
I read my first book in Swedish (Emil i Lönneberga) and am hoping to get to Män som hatar kvinnor next year.

Can we make a note that 2025 was the year I, at almost 40, lost my belief that there's something good in everyone.
Literally everyone rich and/or powerful is an irredeemable, evil sack of shit, and they were only waiting for a world where they could afford to stop pretending.

The most precious commodity you have is your attention. You don’t have to waste it on poor-faith debates or arguments with strangers if you don’t think they’ll be productive. You can prioritize the things that matter to you and make your life richer.

Weird, how 80% of people in Switzerland expect to inherit 50+ million.
...or are a percentage of them simply that much into being bullied by the super rich 🫠

Well, it took close to two years, but I've read the entire Realm of the Elderlings saga out loud for my favourite person. Yes. All 10'000 or so pages.
And I think I stopped reading and started narrating about 1400 pages in, so there's progress I guess.

What stage of adulthood is it when you get home from work at midnight, haven't had time to sit down or eat in a 12 hour shift, and then make yourself a salad?
Do I get, like, a sticker in my assignment book or something now?

Ist doch ganz einfach: seit etwa 8 Jahren reise ich immer Ende Oktober beruflich ins Ausland. Auf den Fotos von vor 8 Jahren hab ich Winterjacke und Ohrwärmer an, heute vereise ich zu der Zeit für mehrere Tage ins Ausland und denke nicht mal dran, eine Jacke einzupacken.
Kein Stress, Leute, aber die 3 heißesten September, die seit 200 Jahren gemessen wurden, waren: 2023, 2024, 2025. #Klimakrise

I'm going to knit a poncho in rainbow colours for my favourite person!
I've got two more tops to spin, but I'm so eager to start knitting with this I had to begin plying the purples and blues 😅🧶
