We’re not spiraling when overwhelmed this year. We’re taking deep breaths and reminding ourselves we can do hard things. We’re staying positive. As positive as possible. We’re finding healthy outlets so we’re not just holding in the frustration. We’re not pretending. Just being positive.

My 2026 started with sleeping in (rare for me with a dog and cat), messages from friends and neighbors, meeting the new neighbor and her very good puppers, and fresh snow! All in all, a good start. I hope your new year starts well too

I’ve been flying the Morning Star flag since 1 December for a #FreeWestPapua but tonight we returned to flying the Tino Rangatiratanga flag for a liberated and free Aotearoa in 2026. Feels good to see this small expression of solidarity with Tangata Whenua alive in the elements every day.

I miss who I was before I learned all this grants speak jargon 😭

don’t worry yall im insuring we’re all gonna have a great 2026

I am going to do my nails, wonder what color I should go with because I have a brand new dip set thats been untouched for MONTHS 🫠🥲

Yeahhh, I kept chipping the square ones so I redid the whole thing. Square nails are just not my bestie. No sir-eee.

My greatest accomplishment of 2025: this body. ✨

I've been following Yukio Akamine online for 20 years. During this time, the world has seen Myspace and Facebook get overtaken by blogging platforms such as WordPress and Tumblr, which in turn got overtaken by social media platforms like Instagram and Twitter. 🧵

MAYOR MAMDANI AYYYYY

my energy for next year

This is fascism

Please say “ethnic cleansing” when posting this stuff because that’s what they’re broadcasting. They’re broadcasting plans to engage in ethnic cleansing.

Mañaina bless all the Niño drivers and kids giving their time and smiles in this rainy hot 2026!

happy new year gamedevs ✌️✌️

2026 is the The Year of the Horse brings movement & momentum. Where truth was revealed, now we act. This is a year of courage & forward motion. Of trusting instinct over familiarity. Of choosing freedom. Clarity turns into action. Confidence grows through movement. The shedding is done. Now, we run.

Happy New Year, Bluesky!

Living in the future, blessed 2026 to all you wonderful beautiful and brown people out there 🥰🙏🏽🎆🎇

You cannot prioritize a Euro-model that focuses on human-to-human relations over a land-to-human relations. For us, the Land is first and always will be, as we are the land. I see Landback and Leftism as being diametrically opposed from the framing- (4/6)

Read this entire thread, then read it again and try to internalize it.

Not everything is about a "win" or a "loss" and I hate that part of Amerika constantly putting this binary on making yall look like politics = sports. A win can look like is you just get to keep living, or you don't get the right XYZ. You gotta just keep going, that sustainment IS "winning" too.

In the 1920s, the KKK circulated rumors that Catholics had amassed a huge arsenal of weapons and explosives and hidden them in the basements and sewers beneath the University of Notre Dame, in preparation for a Catholic takeover of the US. Thinking about this today for no particular reason.

More on this story here, explaining how the KKK in the midwest used viral rumors to target minorities including Black people, Jews, and Catholics. What we're seeing today with the targeting of Somali communities is just the same KKK tactics.

No one looks nonbinary. Androgynous, maybe, but those are not synonyms. Nonbinary folks slant masc, femme, androgynous, or are fluid. You do not know looking at someone. Asking for preferred pronouns is a kindness this nonbinary femme appreciates. Thank you!

Speaking of book club, joining that with new friends and consciously deciding to read more have been some of the best things about this 2025

“You have no idea how bad it’s gonna get“ fatigue

AI worshippers cannot even explain why I would need something like a stapler to predict anything for me. They could be using those brains to make the world safer and more accessible. Instead? “What if you blender was also a heart rate monitor and it listened to your conversations? How about that?”

White people don't get to dictate what any pro-democracy movement looks like, and arguing with them about it makes it seem like they DO have the authority. They do not. They are what's being moved against, and they are panic-striken and, of course, dangerous.

There's no reason to argue with people who say things like this because they have already decided that white is the only way to be right. Move accordingly.

Need S3 of Solo Leveling something SERIOUS.

What I save in money, I absolutely spend in time

FYI to mostly ◻️folks: HI “State” constitution does not reflect 2nd amendment rights in the fed constitution. So when ignorant/racists move to OUR Native ‘āina w their symbols blatantly advertising “PROTECTED BY 2nd AMENDMENT,” it’s comical. 👀 on da #bigisland statecourtreport.org/our-work/ana...

I wonder how you get a show with ATC? SAUNIGA needs to be shown in NZ but I don't know any other presentation partners that could hold its scope and ambition. Maybe Auckland Live?.. If we bring it to the southern hemisphere it only makes sense to bring it home.

It is a very fine line between coping and poisoning yourself.

I missed our Christmas cut off date for shipping these, but thankfully we get to finalize shipping next Monday when the world reopens. Sorry for the delays anyone still waiting on these. Thanks again for all your support. So glad to see these going to happy homes Xx www.fafswag.nz/mketi/illust...

As a Pacific Islander living on the fringes, I want to say that we notice. But I love this thread, so THANK YOU for saying this 🙏🏽💕 If your "safe haven/tropical paradise" is free of, or displaces local people, its just settler colonialism/imperialism being perpetuated.

is overwhelming (and is why she feels the need to leave) it really made me think about how to travel and move more ethically across the world, and understanding (especially as an American) how our contributions can completely disrupt local economies I don't think we speak enough about how often

I had a really interesting conversation with my big sis/mentor that was visiting last week from CDMX she's lived there for the last 5 years, but will be moving at the end of March she said that the acceleration of gentrification that she's witnessed, with the influx of American expats moving in,

Americans must learn to decenter themselves. We cannot export instability and expect to find it elsewhere for our comfort.

Forget insults, what’s the most unhinged *compliment* you’ve ever received?

Everyone overlooking their sugar and shopping addictions 😬

I be rejecting the shit outta imposter syndrome. WTF you mean I don’t belong here? I’m me. I can be wherever I want 🧘🏽‍♀️

BOSTON (AP) — Environmental journalist Tatiana Schlossberg, granddaughter of late President John F. Kennedy, has died, family says.

A great way to understand addiction: what do you do in your day to day, minute to minute? What do you spend resources (time/attention/mental load) on? Is it: online shopping/browsing, caffeine, prescription or OTC droks, tinder/grindr/sex, making/buying/eating a lil treat multiple times a day, etc?

Not gonna lie, I miss POLY twitter sometimes... sometimes lol

i feel like a few years ago people were mad at me for pointing out that ring collaborates with cops and the doorbell camera thing you bought is actively being used to spy on your neighborhood from the POV of your front door. i can't keep having this discussions with people.

not to start discourse, but you guys know robot vacuums make maps of your home & amazon (or whoever) keeps them, right? like i don't talk about this because it feels like i'm saying "you know you shouldn't leave your car running in the garage with the doors closed", but maybe i need to say that too.
