As the holidays wind down, and we sit in a post-stuffing-your-face bliss, it’s officially time to tackle our New Year’s Resolutions.

- Crocheting. It’s not just for your grandma! Make yourself or your friends some cute beanies or charms to add to your carabiners. Bonus points: whip out your project on the train, and everyone will think you’re cool.
- Take Your Astrology Very Seriously. If you have co-star downloaded on your phone, you’re already halfway there! Get your angel number tattooed and grab a pack of tarot cards while you’re at it.
- Take A Queer-Friendly Dance Class. Practice your moves with your partner or solo! Stud Country and Pride Salsa are two great options.
- Travel…To Your Local Gay Bar. It’s easy to curl up inside during the winter, but don’t let a little cold weather stop you from becoming a regular at your favorite gay bar.
- Read Gay Authors. Get your literacy up and support gay writers at the same time. Start with a few substack subscriptions if you’re not a big reader. Check out some of our great recommendations.
- Rock Climbing. Strapping on a harness and grabbing some boulders–sign me up! Most rock climbing gyms have LGBTQ+ designated climbs, so it’s a great place to make new friends.
