The 19th Annual Fandom Holiday of More Joy Day will be Thursday, January 8th, 2026.

What is More Joy Day? In short it's this: in 2008, in the interest of spreading more joy, [personal profile] sdwolfpup proposed that on a designated day in early January we each engage in one or more acts, either online or in physical space (or both!), which bring joy to another person, and which might even inspire that person to spread joy further, exponentially onward.

For more details, and to see where to post on Dreamwidth your More Joy Day action(s), click here for [personal profile] sdwolfpup's post.

And here's a Fanlore entry about More Joy Day.

SPREAD JOY!

You may know Joyce Hindman as LionHeart Distribution or as Requiem Publications, publisher and seller of zines and as Bast Ravenshadow's publishing partner, or you may know her for her four tables at Media West, or as the artist with the little boxes and jewelry and other fun beaded stuff in the Media West art show, or as the fic writer Sekhmet.

She is now a senior citizen (over 70), and on social security after years on disability, along with her husband who is also a senior with health problems.

This has been a particularly tough year as far as health problems and medical expenses. Her husband was hospitalized with pneumonia. She needed rotator cuff repair on her dominant arm and additionally shortly thereafter broke the humerous bone near her shoulder on the same side.

She and her husband are now trying to cope with many medical bills for surgeries and physical therapy at a cost of thousands of dollars. With fixed incomes, and looking at increases in insurance premiums, food costs, et cetera, and with her husband's part-time job offering no work for two months now, they are very uncertain about how to pay these bills.

If you can donate anything to the Hindman GoFundMe, please do so at https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-joyce-overcome-medical-expenses . If you would rather donate privately as I did and you have PayPal, you can PayPal Joyce at jersey dot lion at gmail dot com.

My first post of combining hockey fandom and dog fandom was so well received that I've decided to do another one:

My local AHL team -- the Chicago Wolves -- has again this year as previously provided and served a Thanksgiving meal of turkey and other treats to the shelter dogs of Border Tails Rescue in Northbrook, Illinois, a no-kill shelter with a spay-and-neuter program that specializes in rescuing and rehoming stray dogs from Mexico (they also take in owner surrenders from Chicagoland).

Harleigh Garcia, founder of Border Tails Rescue, said “We are so excited to have the Wolves again this year to help us celebrate the holidays and bring something special to the dogs. It’s not ideal for these dogs to be spending their holidays in the shelter. We’d love for them to all find homes, but that’s just not possible right now, so it’s nice to bring them a little something special, and we love partnering with the Wolves.”

To learn more about Border Tails Rescue, click here. They have many volunteer opportunities and especially are looking for tourists returning from Mexico who are willing to be "flight volunteers" at no cost to themselves for escorting Mexican stray dogs to the U.S.

The picture below is Chicago Wolves Hockey players Nikita Pavlychev, Braden Doyle, Blake Biondi, Skyler Brind’Amour, Bryce Montgomery and Yanick Turcotte with some of the dogs they treated to this special Thanksgiving meal.

Ever since Marjorie Taylor Greene "informed" us that California wildfires were being caused by "Jewish Space Lasers" I have been obsessed with making a mockery of her. (Hey, I'm Jewish, and if I had control of some space lasers I would NOT be using them to set California on fire.)

Now I see that she is resigning from Congress after The Orange One called her "wacky"...which is the first time I've ever agreed with something he said.

At this juncture I would like to show what I have created with my Refrigerator Magnet "What Will Marjorie Taylor Green Say Next" Conspiracy Kit.

I've got a "milestone" birthday coming up and I bought myself a birthday gift of something I've wanted for a long time: the complete Red Green DVD collection -- yep, all 300 episodes! And [personal profile] amedia made a whole bunch of Red Green icons for me (one of which you see here).

A big TYK to [personal profile] amedia for the timely icons!

Thank you kindly to my "interplanetary" friend [personal profile] james who in September sent me a postcard that says Visit Beautiful Southern Enceladus: More Than 100 Breathtaking Geysers! The Home of "Cold Faithful"!

(For those of you who might think this is a place in California because it sounds like "Escondido" and "Encino" and other similar California location names..uhm...no...Enceladus is a moon of the planet Saturn.)
