In No Particular Order:
OP’s Best of 2025

Got room for one more Best of 2025 list? We hope so.

This year asked for a pause. At Other Parties, 2025 was less about noise and more about noticing - a year of reflection, recalibration, and quiet curiosity. While we took stock of where we’ve been and where we’re heading, we were still watching closely, listening carefully, and learning constantly.

Year five is loading, so see you in 2026...
