Which year it will be on January 1?

The map highlights the diversity of calendars used globally, showing which year it will be on January 1, 2025, according to the Gregorian calendar. Most countries (marked in green) use the Gregorian calendar (2025) for civil purposes. Other calendars include the Islamic calendar (1446), used in Muslim-majority countries; the Hebrew calendar (5785), in Israel for religious purposes; the Buddhist calendar (2568), common in Southeast Asia; and the Chinese calendar (4722), significant for traditional events in China and its diaspora. Unique systems include the Nepali Vikram Sambat (2081), the Burmese calendar (1387), the Ethiopian calendar (2017), the Japanese Reiwa 7, the Bengali calendar (1431), the Persian calendar (1403), the Bhutanese Drukpa (2481), the North Korean Juche (114), and the Taiwanese Minguo (114). These calendars, often tied to religious and cultural traditions, reflect the world’s rich diversity despite the global dominance of the Gregorian system.

EDIT: Mercury is stationed direct on Jan 1st, 2024. The source I used which stated it was in retrograde until the 18th had a typo.

EDIT: Fixed the zodiac signs for the full moons using a new source.

Regardless of religion, people are allowed to be ticked off and uncomfortable when their customs and holidays are stripped down into a vague, distorted, and easily-marketable husk.

this doesn't really count as a preview of my piece for the 2025/2026 gravity falls hunkles calendar but it doesn't really not count either

and the only way to understand what I mean, because I never remember to post my calendar art, is to go order one from @gfhunklescalendar and be part of the history we're making...together

after you order your calendar drop me an ask with your hunkle stan thoughts and I'll try to turn some of them into art

the people i follow have made way better posts about this but just to reiterate: a buddie blood transfusion would eat so bad. either one donating to either one would cause such extreme levels of horny in-love derangement that i don’t even know which scenario is best. Eddie donating to buck? part of eddie inside buck? yayyy literally what buck has always wanted. he’d trace the veins on his wrist and forearm swearing he could feel eddie there. Buck donates to eddie? the Ultimate act of service? buck was so so good for eddie, good enough to save his life! eddie feels lightheaded with it as buck plants kisses up and down the inside of eddies wrist, eddies other hand running thru bucks hair. “you saved me buck” he would whisper reverently and they’d both be soooooo crazy and wonderful about it.

Yule Game: Melkor x Mairon

How many rings are they each wearing?

I need someone to oversee me when making these and make sure I don´t decide to plan out whole new designs in the middle of them...

Look, Mairon strikes me as a guy who would walk around with his dead pet out of sorrow, I don´t make the rules

Los Angeles Times! See me, more patients and the studio!

So you may have wondered why Habersham's story followed so quickly on the heels of Lucky the Bear's, and the reason is, it was a bit of a teaser.

Over the past few months, I have been interviewed for almost 2 hours by a reporter for the LA Times. Then a photographer came out to the hospital and took photos of me and the hospital and the patients I had at the time (for another two hours!). And then a few weeks ago, another photographer came out to take portraits of the patients I had then. Including one of Habersham. Then, yesterday, September 10, this appeared as the cover of the LA Times Calendar section:

That's Habersham before his surgery. And a wonderful play on Tears for Fears for the title of the story. :-) There's a two page spread inside the paper, and you can read it, and see a lot (if not all) of the photos online here. If the link doesn't work, you can also go to the LA Times and search "toy hospital" in the search box on the site and you should find the article that way too.

Anyway, as you may imagine, I've been doing a bit of a happy dance about the story all weekend. And I really wanted to share it with all of you because a) I thought you might enjoy the article and b) the reporter found me in part because of this blog which you all have chosen to read and follow and like over the years, so you all deserve thanks for the article too!
