2025 - Year in Review (Amanda’s List)

The tarot card of the year was The Hermit
INTROSPECTION
INNER VOICE
FINDING THE LIGHT (WHEN EVERYTHING’S DARK, 2025 was a bit dark)

So yeah, I went inward.
Witchcraft.
Kundalini.
Pagan roots clawing their way back.
Listening to myself instead of the noise.

BUT THE WORLD WAS STILL BURNING.

Genocide livestreamed daily.
TERFs screaming.
Capitalism eating everyone alive.
Skinny and anti-aging being the golden ticket.

And the album I kept coming back to—
THE ONE—
was Lambrini Girls: Who Let the Dogs Out.

🔥 PRO-PALESTINE
🔥 ANTI-TERF
🔥 ANTI-TOXIC MASCULINITY
🔥 FUCK YOUR CAPITAL
🔥 FUCK YOUR GENTRIFICATION
🔥 FUCK YOUR BODY STANDARDS

Spitting. Laughing. Barking.
Rage with sharp jokes.

While I was working on with my inner voice,
Lambrini Girls were turning my VALUES into NOISE.
Giving my anger a beat, my feminism teeth.
Making me laugh when I wanted to scream.

This is Hermit energy with a molotov.
This is introspection with fuzz pedals.
This is knowing who you are and being LOUD about it.

Let’s keep the dogs out, cunts.
