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!
Dunno, still got several hours of 2024 left for me.
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.
