This week was crazy with a capital C. I started my yearly countdown, and let me tell you, it has been a bit intense on the social media front. The two hashtags are #BLFavs2025 and #BL2025Wrapped. Both are super fun, and I’m so glad I can contribute something to the community. That being said, this article is shorter than usual.
