Woody Guthrie Creates a Doodle-Filled List of 33 New Year’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 “New 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 Zelenskyy’s moving New Year’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 Year’s Eve.

I hope everyone has an awesome evening, whatever you’re doing.

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

Just don’t ever feel like you are alone.

Tomorrow is new year; a chance for a fresh start. It’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. What 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. The 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. https://www.youngminds.org.uk/

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.
