    2025 by the numbers

    I have been meaning to write something outside the context of work emails and thought a very belated recap of 2025 would be a good starting place. I’ve also been meaning to take note of more positive things, so that’s what I tried to do with this list. 2025 looked a little like: 0 Dom…
