new year, new me, new places to hang my clothes.
From a friend: “2025 was their year, and they knew it. They threw everything they had into taking over every part of our society and locking it down for themselves. They knew they’d never get a chance like this again. Guess what? They failed. 2026 won’t be a good year for them. 2027, they’ll be planting false smiles on their faces as they eye each other nervously. 2028, they’ll give their last, desperate effort, which will fail. And 2029? Oh, 2029 is not going to be a good year for them at all. #HappyNewYear!”
#OnThisDay Wish you a very #HappyNewYear. Stay Healthy! Stay Curious!

Happy 2026! 2025 was crazy for me! It was fun, adventurous, and kind of dangerous TBH! You can find out why in my wrap up here - https://www.sparklecat.com/diary/my-crazy-2025-highlights #cats #CatsOfMastodon #Mastocats #happynewyear #catsoffediverse #catlovers
Happy New Year, Friends. May we all take heart, keep the home fires burning, and find some portion of the joy we’re looking for.
I’ve been laid low by influenza, so not posting much but enjoying your posts. Be well!

Okay, so in fairness it has been raining to some extent much of today. And for those of you who may not know where #Edmonton #Alberta is, we are located at 53° #North #Latitude on the #Canadian prairies, and traditionally we have a heck of a lot of snow in the winter (although it doesn't necessarily stay as high accumulations as it seems to just blow east towards #Ontario 😂).
Thanks to #ClimateChange, we are having the most bizarre temperature yo-yos all the time now: last week we were somewhere *between* -20° to -30°C, this week we've had two or three days already that were above zero (aka "above freezing" in #Celsius) during the day.
… So I trust that you all can forgive me for actually thinking I was hearing thunder outside just a few minutes ago at midnight.

Looking back at the bits of joy in what was otherwise a year of struggle for so many people. Here's to 2026 being a year that moves us closer to community and healing for everyone.

A wee bit early for our #TimeZone but precise calibration is always tricky with #TimeTravel.
Enjoy the rain, the ice, the snow, and please remember to mask up when we get poor #AirQuality like tonight (among other excellent reasons).
May you all enjoy the best year you are able. ❤️

A #HappyNewYear to all of my @Mastodon followers! Thank you for another year of thoughtful interactions. I learn so much from you all every day. Cheers to 2026!
This card wishes you 365 happy days in the year 1917. Which is a bit optimistic, but it's the thought that counts. Happy New Year! #Iceland #holidays #newyear #happynewyear #happynewyear2026 #1910s #postcard #vintage #history

On the first of every month, I record my bank balance.
In 2024, my bank account grew by $900.
In 2025, my bank account grew by 37cents. 😒
Gee, what changed in 2025 that might account for this? 🤦♂️
(Keep this in mind when #Republicans suggest "Health Savings Accounts" next week as an alternative to the #ACA subsidies.)

May this next year grant us all more joy, good health, and a far better democracy.

Time to say farewell 2025 and hello 2026. 😌 It's because of you, the community, that we were able to make 2025 our best year yet. 👏🏻
From all of us, to you and yours: here's to all the blessings we hope 2026 will bring. 🥂 #HappyNewYear
happy birthday to all my fellow privacy-aware folks 🎉
56 years and counting – the only sense in which it is okay to say 'you don't look your age'
#HappyNewYear. This is the 4th New Year I've entered with the #Fediverse. It really feels like a town square or community center, just like social media is supposed to be like, imo.
Being homebound, when I log on to the Fediverse, it is me "going to town." I go with you to your concerts, I hike with you, walk the forests, read your poems and essays, and "feel" your cats purr. I expand my knowledge, learn different languages and cultures, and share in your hopes and distresses.
There's too many to @ and reply to with specific messages, and I appreciate that problem, so Happy New Year to all.
Happy (Solar) New Year!

HAPPY NEW YEAR lovely people of the fediverse 😁
May it be bouncy and joyful for you all.
Happy new Year to everyone!! ❤️🎉
Let the next Year be fluffier to all of us!
I wish everyone the best!

I don't think I've seen midnight on New Year's Eve for the last 30+ years, normally early bed with earplugs is my routine.
To all who celebrate Happy New Year 🎊🎊
Happy New Year from the FreeBSD Foundation.
Thank you to everyone who contributed, collaborated, and supported FreeBSD throughout 2025. Your work and generosity helped strengthen the Project and expand its reach across the community.
We look forward to another year of development, engagement, and continued progress in 2026.
Just as a bit of fun, I've done a playlist of some good #PeerTube videos from 2025:

With the closure of 2025, I feel a huge sense of warmth and connection with all my followers on Mastodon.
I’ve interacted with many amazing people with a level of intelligence and compassion which allows me to feel like an integral part of an alternative force, working together to build a better world and stand firm against the oligarchs, autocrats and billionaires👏👏👏
So thank you 🙏 🙏🙏
And Happy New Year
Once again, this planet is finishing another circumnavigation around its primary star, and we are here to celebrate.
Thank you, all my fedi friends, for making 2025 a survivable year. May we all continue to lift each other up as the nuclear dumpster fire that is this particular reality continues.
Keep hope alive!
Happy New Year!

EPISODE #33: DO NOT GO GENTLE INTO THAT GOOD NIGHT (NEW YEAR'S EVE SPECIAL)
Happy New Year's Eve! Here's a continuation from Christmas with @aperfectsong. It was needed. I have never been so proud of something I've done in my life. This took days of work for me.

I've never been as proud as I am of this episode and the one just before it, our Christmas special. I had to share it. I put hours and hours of work into the New Year's Special.
If anyone's interested, the links are in the above posts. They're all threaded together.

I'm still deciding what to wear to my living room couch on New Year's Eve.
I might not even go.

Don't expect any New Year's resolutions from me. I intend on staying the same awkward, sarcastic, foul-mouthed delight you've all come to know and love.

The album "Yourself or Someone Like You" by Matchbox 20. . . .
...turns 30 real soon.
The main reason I believe this is that Earth's energy imbalance continues to worsen, and there seem to be no credible efforts aimed at reducing it. If anything, many world governments seem hellbent on making the imbalance worse. By energy imbalance I mean the difference between the amount of energy coming into the Earth system from the sun compared to how much is radiated back out to space. For Earth's average temperature to remain stable, the energy going out must balance the energy coming in. However, for a long time now more energy has been coming in than what leaves. Since 2010 or so, the imbalance persists in this direction all year long (1). You don't need sophisticated modeling to understand that a net influx of energy results in an increase in temperature; that's basic thermodynamics.
Things will not get better for us climate-wise till we reverse this imbalance. Global average temperature will continue to rise. As a result, extreme weather events will become more common and more extreme. More and more of Earth's surface will become uninhabitable. More and more non-human species will go extinct. More and more ecosystems will collapse. Forests will burn. Temperate regions will become deserts.
Perhaps more frighteningly, we're on track to hit a couple tipping points, like the collapse of the AOMC, that would cause major shifts in world climate patterns in very short timeframes, possibly shorter than the amount of time we'd need to effectively adapt to them. Some of us (2) could adapt to some of the changes wrought by gradually-increasing temperature, at least for awhile. But something like AOMC collapse would likely generate a catastrophe of a scope and scale far beyond any we've ever lived to see.
We're almost literally playing with fire right now. Changing your lightbulbs to LEDs or bicycling instead of driving a car is not going to put it out, sorry to say (3). Obsession with exponential economic growth will undo the good of any individual-level actions almost immediately. We need something more than this.
I still don't know what I, personally, can or will do. I'm reflecting on that question a lot lately. I hope everyone will. #NewYear #HappyNewYear #Climate #ClimateChange #Degrowth
(1) In prior years, there'd be at least a few months during the year when more energy was radiated back out to space than stayed at the surface. That changed around 2010.
(2) I don't mean to diminish the horrors of those who will be disproportionately affected by climate warming and who may not be able to adapt.
(3) Still do those things--everything helps--but there's a rushing current going one way and splashing a bit in the opposite direction is not going to change the flow.
