More Joy Day is BACK
Dec. 11th, 2025 12:52 amWhat’s More Joy Day? In short it’s this:
Every year since 2008, in the interest of spreading more joy, I’ve proposed that on a designated day in early January we each engage in one act, either online or physical space (or both!), which brings joy to another person, in the hopes that that person will spread that joy further, and exponentially onward.
This act can be as simple as leaving a comment on a fanwork to as complicated as planting a tree or flower in someone’s honor and sharing a photo of it and why you chose that person. If you want the longer version (and more suggestions) you can check out this post from 2024 which provides both.
The 19th annual More Joy Day is on Thursday, January 8, 2026.
(Can you believe it’s almost been twenty years?!)
I’ll have at least one more reminder before the day, so start thinking about how you’re going to spread some joy, because we need it now more than ever and I am NOT going to let the bastards bring us down entirely.
