2023 Cannot Be Dreamt Away

I am tired of year end reviews. Years can suck for the writer of the review or for the world at large, or can be good for the writer of the review (but rarely for the world at large) but 2023 seemed to continue a string of crap that started with the pandemic that refuses […]
