It feels strange that a new year is almost here. I didn't want 2022 to last forever of course, and I know that for a lot of people it was an awful year. But with all the blogging I've done, all the time I've spent honing my craft, I feel like for me it was the best year I've had in a while. I wonder how much longer it will be before those who own society realize the only way they'll survive is if they give us a world in which we don't have to emulate them. Will that be the moment their lives lose all meaning?
