Hello folks, as 2024 comes to a close I’d like to take some time to reflect on this year and give you guys a taste of where this blog’s headed next year. And uhhhhh… that sure was a year alright. Remember Aaron Bushnell, the guy who self-immolated in protest of the war on Gaza? That was 10 months ago, and the killing continues indefinitely. Soon we’ll get a new guy in the White House who will find innovative new ways to make it worse. Exciting stuff all around.
Okay, 2024 may be pretty bad in that macro global events kinda way, but how about for this blog specifically? Well, I wrote a blog reflecting on Aaron Bushnell’s self-immolation and other people who committed the same act. It was one of four blog posts I published on this site all year, along with another one by my good friend Spartan. I went into this year hoping I’d average at least one blog post a month. Guess not.
I could offer plenty of excuses and explanations for why that happened. Y’all don’t need to hear them. But let it be known, I have not forgotten about this. I may prioritize certain things over this blog most of the time, but I miss it when I do. There’s a lot of things I want to write about. Because I haven’t published much they stack up and increase in number, and I want to let more of that out next year. Here’s a preview of what I intend to write about next year.
Let me know if there’s anything you’re particularly interested in reading my thoughts on. It’ll be more likely to happen if you do. But hell, even if I never wrote another blog post again I’m pretty happy with how this site has panned out. It has helped me rediscover my love for writing, and I have people all over the world visiting here. Mostly for my Blue Lock post, hot damn that series gets a lot of love. A genuine worldwide phenomenon. To everyone who took some time out of their life to read my thoughts on the internet, thank you, seriously. I hope you got something worthwhile out of the experience. Either way, I’m going to keep going.
By the way, if there’s anything I’ve learned this year, it’s that plants are amazing. This is officially a pro plant blog, even though I probably won’t talk about them much on here. My world became noticeably more lively when I brought more plants into it. It could do the same for you as well.
