Woody Guthrie Creates a Doodle-Filled List of 33 New Yearโ€™s Resolutions (1943): Beat Fascism, Write a Song a Day, and Keep the Hoping Machine Running

On January 1, 1943, the American folk music legend Woody Guthrie jotted in his journal a list of 33 โ€œNew Years Rulin's.' Nowadays, we'd call them New Year's Resolutions. Adorned by doodles, the list is down to earth by any measure.

It has been passed on to me, that I shall pass on this wish:

>> Happy Fibonacci Day! 1 1 23

and I find this an excellent way to begin.

A family from liberated part of Kherson Oblast relay Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyyโ€™s moving New Yearโ€™s address to the nation to a relative in the Russian-occupied part of the oblast, via a video call. Only Kremlin propaganda is shown on TV in the occupied territories.

Some dancing oak trees for New Yearโ€™s Eve.

I hope everyone has an awesome evening, whatever youโ€™re doing.

I will be happily tucked up in bed well before midnight, but I know itโ€™s a tough time for others. Iโ€™ve been in a dark place in years past, so I know what it can be like.

Just donโ€™t ever feel like you are alone.

Tomorrow is new year; a chance for a fresh start. Itโ€™s a chance to find joy in the little moments that make up each day.

My daughter Tamara, who'd have been 25 today. That's all she'd want me to say, or I'd stand accused of being a drama llama.โ€ฉWhat I can say is that young people in the UK struggling with mental health, and their parents and carers, need far more support than they get.โ€ฉThe charity Young Minds UK is working to change this. Donate if you can, but times are tough and they explain many other ways we can support young people like Tamara.โ€ฉhttps://www.youngminds.org.uk/

YoungMinds are a mental health charity for children, young people and their parents, making sure all young people can get the mental health support they need.

Remember: Twitter is Elon's company, he has the free speech and free association right to run it pretty much however he wants and to ban people for petty narcissistic reasons.

And we have the right to laugh and point at his ridiculousness and at the free-speech pretenses of his gullible fans.

I love watching ospreys dive for fish. Such an amazing feat of precision and strength!

I also love watching them do a midair dog shake to dry their feathers, and here is a series of 8 shots of one osprey doing just that, backlit by the sun. I almost didn't take the shots because the bird was between me and the sun but I am glad I did because the light hit the water droplets just right. In the digital age of photography, the worst photo is the one never taken.

Did I mention I love ospreys?

the dates quoted in this article donโ€™t seem correct according to what we know of the timeline of protests after #MahsaAmini was killed

but it seems #AmirNasrAzadani doesnโ€™t have a hashtag yet hereโ€ฆ

The 26yr old #Iran footballer has been accused of similar โ€œcrimesโ€ as the two other young men who were recently executed by the Islamic Republic

A mob of red deer stags in Richmond Park, they were on the edge of the woods and unless you stopped to look from most angles they were perfectly hidden, I crouched down to take the shot, that's when I could see how many there were (shot with a long lens it looks like I was a lot closer than I actually was). #RichmondPark #RedDeer #Stags #RedStags #WildLifePhotography #Nature #Photography #AltText
