Happy New Year!

Folks, it's that time of year! The arbitrarily-assigned "beginning" of 2026, where we all decide on how we're going to better ourselves in the next 12 months. Then we start the year on the right foot, hungover as fuck after staying out 'til two AM on a Wednesday.

You might feel the pressure this season to go through some sort of renewal. To establish some lofty "New Years' Resolutions," and to feel guilty and powerless when you abandon them by Valentine's Day. We throw ourselves into this shame cycle every year, and never seem to learn this lesson: maybe Cold & Flu Season is just not a good time to fix everything about your life. (I'm writing this with a cold.)

Here is your friendly reminder that your January can be about survival. As Seasonal Affective Disorder kicks into high gear, challenge yourself to not try to be a better person at all. Stay bad at your job. Keep doomscrolling on Instagram Reels. Really own your avoidant attachment style. And don't you dare fucking join a gym.

You know who's got it all figured out? Bears.

A bear's New Years Resolutions are:

1. Get fatter
2. Sleep more
3. Eat more porridge

Be a bear this January. Happy hibernation.
