Two #goodhabits for the #newyear that are surprisingly easy to do and are already #makingadifference:
- muting (large) accounts in the #trending section that are doing various forms of clickbait, because even in the #fediverse #ragebaiting #cutevideos #AIslop (AI slop with a leftist slant still is AI slop) are rife.
- ignoring #comments from people who keep missing the point willfully or from sheer ignorance. My time is sacred.

While going all in on excess, the 76th edition of NHK’s “Kohaku Uta Gassen” reminded viewers why the New Year’s Eve musical bonanza still matters. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/culture/2026/01/05/music/kohaku-uta-gassen/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #culture #music #jpop #japanesetv #newyear #nhk #oshogatsu #kohakuutagassen
With my dad going into a home full time and all the stuff that needs sorting with that, I'm feeling less of my usual New Year energy. Thanks to @futurebird I've got a few interesting documentaries to rewatch and spark some ideas.
What's your writing outlook for the year?

New year, no reset.
A short essay on continuation, constraint, and why ‘fresh starts’ don’t work for everyone.
‘For me, and for many, the work is not in beginning again but in continuing. Continuation is far less aesthetic than renewal, harder to commodify, and it doesn't lend itself well to announcements, before and after photos, or public commitments. But it is honest.’

It's a New Year miracle - I have remembered it's Friday 😁 I was sure this festive period was going to ruin my run of Friday Dancers, but no... it continues! (number 133 and counting 😆)
ANYHOW, self congratulation aside, it's the first Friday of 2026 - hooray! As ever have a good weekend if you possibly can
