I'm doing to be blunt. I don't see anything positive for 2026. I think 2025 was the last year of sites like this and most other medium to major sites being available for the average joe. With shotty ID laws becoming mandatory almost everywhere I dont know how long I will be able to remain on sites I have used sometimes for decades till the poorly put together automated systems boot me.

I also don't see how anything in 2026 will be stable anywhere in the western world. Africa and South America may become the new leaders of the world but I'm not sure.

I know new years is meant to be a positive time but I always have had it be negative since 2016. Something bad or seeing the world around just crumble in ways I thought I would have never seen or it was at least another 10 years away.

To the old crowd that have been active since time and immemorial that fallow me thanks for your amazing work for the years. While I'm more of a lurker then a commenter let me say thanks for secondarily keeping my sanity. I hope that you may keep flourishing and keep going.

To the people who fallow me thanks for letting me know that some may care about what I enjoy. I know my artist may not be the greatest but they are the only ones who know what I enjoy and they are someone who I have full trust in. Whether you make your own art or have an artist thank them or yourself for having skills I personally have 0 ability for.

PS. I was not drunk or high when making or posting this. Just going through the motions of our grand or great grand parents during ww2 and being reminded on what they fought for being lost in the span of 2 generations.
