I feel like I am, I am admittedly spending New years alone, but considering what happened on Christmas probably would be best not to spend it with my family. I plan to watch the countdown on TV maybe have a Beer or two, nothing fancy.

but considering what happened on Christmas

I just read that; it's a shame "live and let live" is such a foreign concept to some people.

Anyway, it's probably safer staying indoors during New Year's, so there's that.

You're never alone with a ~~rubber duck~~ Blåhaj.

I slept through it :3 Happy 2025!

also spent New Years at home - did the countdown on Animal Crossing and drank non-alcoholic sparkling rosé 😄

I had the absolute BEST New Years Eve of my life last night. I'm usually too shy to go out, but I challenged myself and went to a "They Bar" (called such as opposed to a "Gay bar") and every single person there was trans or NB. They had a drag show, everyone was talking about nerdy shit that I love, and I felt so welcomed and understood. They have weekly non-alcoholic nights, so I'm looking forward to going to those during Dry January.

If any of yinz are in the Pittsburgh area, the spot is called Harold's Haunt and is a must-try.

I had a good new years. Spent it with my best friend since kindergarten who also happens to be trans. We got high, ate snacks, and played video games. Fun time.
