Yeah I don’t want to brag but these are the only 100% accurate horoscopes you’ll ever read

I'm here for the non-alt-right New Age stuff for fun! I have a few tarot decks because sometimes you just want your random number generator to be pretty, ya know?

Nooo, not the Neopets account!! Also I am not an astrology person but I did write the horoscopes for my school newspaper and it was fun, would recommend it

I like your corn idea. in 2025 one of my goals was to read and learn more about ingredients generally to get a better grasp on the history and making of foods I eat. it's been more than just a history of food - history of people, communication, and the world. very cool stuff.

I'm wondering if all the "2025 is the year of..." instances were more of a journalistic verbal tic than anybody making a statement about 2025. I'm pretty sure that if something happened or appeared 2-3 times, in 2025, suddenly 2025 was the year of that thing. Cliches like that tend to spread like wildfire through magazines and blogs, and AI can't be helping.

@emilynhoward I agree, and I’d add that it’s also media outlets out to make a buck on affiliate sales by making things appear trendier than they are. GQ called out striped towels in May, never to be spoken of again. The towel they suggested is $89. I think some other items on the list might have more to them, though. For example, anime movies ARE growing in popularity.

The only items I noticed that resurfaced throughout the year, though, were AI and crypto. There were so many articles about them that I stopped adding most entries. They’re so buzzy I’m sure 2026 and beyond will also be the year of them.

I love the idea of the year of corn. It has uses even as it’s growing in gardens. They make good stalks for vines!

The US is a country of corn and I am so excited for your self appointed year of corn. Everything is corn. You'll see.

that sounds like a lovely fashion pencil to me. in 1999 I remember solely using fashion pencils.

you may not find the pencil, maybe it was a one-time promotional item... but you could will it into existence and have it custom made! i dont know if they are any good but it must be possible

I’ve thought about making the pencil. But honestly if I can’t have the real deal then I don’t want the pencil 😤

That cardigan is amazing! I've seen it a few times and it's on the list of projects I'd like to make one day. I'm far from being able to make a sweater, but one day I will

Now that the year's almost ever, I can finally say what I've been thinking for months: this year in movies was mid. I have a few more on the docket through the rest of the year, so luckily the atrocious Five Nights at Freddy's 2 won't be the last thing I see in 2025.
Thanks for stopping by!
