This year I really had to hold off on writing this (though I started drafting it early) because I was still going to libraries and editing Wikipedia until the very end of 2025! I know it seems that a lot of my blogging is repeated stuff, but I am okay with that and I hope you are too. It was a weird year both for US politics reasons but also for some discombobulation reasons. The new roof on my house is glorious but was a major project at a time when I didn’t feel I had the energy for it. I’m happy to see the back of it and gearing up for 2026 house projects. Maybe a generator? Some major painting? Maybe nothing at all.<\/p>\n
You can view past wrap-ups here: 2019<\/a>, 2020<\/a>, 2021<\/a>, 2022<\/a>, 2023<\/a>, 2024<\/a>.<\/p>\n It’s been a year of not owning MetaFilter and while there was a little flurry of actions-requiring-some-input when the final non-interim board took over, it’s been mostly peaceful once MeFi taxes got filed. I will probably have various changes of heart about how I view that time in my life, when I stepped in to try to save a drowning website that was once very important to me, but as of right now my thoughts are “I’m glad it worked, but that was a bad idea.”<\/p>\n You can find me on the same socials as last year. I’m more active on Bluesky<\/a> than I was last year and it’s funny how much it’s just a different sort of place for me than Mastodon<\/a>. I know some people just cross-post to both, but I mostly don’t. Still using Flickr<\/a> especially for holiday and event-type stuff. MLTSHP<\/a> is where I hang out still.<\/p>\n I can barely remember what I did this year which wasn’t “get a new roof” because that was such a big deal and I wasn’t blogging much so I check my calendar and my texts. I edit these posts in raw HTML like some sort of dinosaur. I think it’s good to know the old ways.
