This year has generally sucked for not just me but pretty much almost everyone; of course, so many people have talked about that fact recently that I don’t see much need to say any more about it.

Instead, I’m going to close out this year with sharing a few fun end of the year things and then move on.

• I nominated Lagertha + Astrid for The Geekiary’s Favorite LGBTQ+ Moments in Geek Culture list
• I put together The Geekiary’s 2016 Convention Round Up article
• …and I nominated Kate McKinnon, Lagertha, and Carrie Fisher for The Geekiary’s Favorite Women in Geek Culture 2016 list

And for good measure, here are my top nine photos from Instagram…even though I didn’t even join until about halfway through this year 😉
