New Year’s Day is just a day. It’s an arbitrary point in time chosen to mark the new calendar year. But Earth constantly goes around the sun. It doesn’t stop and start. So if you feel like you didn’t achieve what you wanted to achieve in 2024, it doesn’t matter. You get another go at it. #joinin

Congrats for getting through Christmas!

“Where I am as best as possible.” Thanks for that. I think that’s exactly what I needed to hear right now :)

Definitely hit the spot!

I’m currently bingeing Black Doves. It’s good fun. A bit of thinking involved as it’s a “spy” thriller. But is also very funny and the chemistry between Kiera Knightley and Ben Wishaw is electric!

Excuse my personal musings. This is supposed to be for everyone.

So what’s everyone doing in this last weekend before Christmas?

I’m waiting for a scrumptious Thai dinner coming!

Having a quiet night in after last night’s dancing!

Starting to see posts showing people “coming home for the holidays.”

I’m happy for them. But I started wondering when that phrase stopped having any meaning for me.

I’ve got no “home” like they call home. I’m not estranged from family but I just never felt I belonged anywhere like that.

There is also an account set up for this, the great @joinin.bsky.social! This seems like a really lovely thing to help spread on Bluesky now for the holidays. Let´s support each other and help people #joinin.❤️

I'd be happy to hand over the account or handle to Sarah Millican if she makes the move here.

I created this account to give people who normally engage with others using the #JoinIn on Twitter, a space here on Bluesky. I know a lot of people have already made a permanent move here so I just want to replicate that community here.

Alone this Thanksgiving? Use this space to say hi to everyone! What's for dinner? What's your wine of choice? What's your favourite Thanksgiving tradition? Tag this account so others can JoinIn!
