It’s a superstition that leap years are somehow unfortunate. And, how can I say it? For me this 2024 sucked. There was no major event, but it’s been a collection of bad days, unexpected things happening, and small (and big) troubles. But Thanksgiving is coming, and I think we all could use a moment to express gratitude to people who made things easier or joyful—why not? Don’t miss that chance. I’ll start by saying thank you to you, dear reader. — Now enjoy issue 300, it’s different.
