Back again with these threads! For all the new folks, this is a safe space to tell us about anything cool you have going on, anything you want to vent about, and everything in between.
Remember, you are loved 
Things have been up and down for me. In a glum mood today. Been hanging out with someone new, and that's been nice, I'm just not sure if I really want to keep it up. Home life is....fine, I guess. Still living with my ex, they're gonna give things until the end of the year to see if their career picks up any, and if not, they'll move home. That said, they've been talking about that for years, so I'll believe it when I see it. They broke down and finally yelled at me for the first time a few nights ago, so I silently carved a pumpkin and then just stayed over with the person I've been seeing. As nice as the couch I live on is, it was nice to sleep in a bed for a night or two this past week.
Job front is slow moving, but I had a promising interview last Wednesday. Was supposed to hear back Thurday afternoon or Friday, but even with a followup email I sent, no reply. Fingers crossed I guess.
I deleted a few of my dating apps, still have a small amount installed. A Maoist actually hollered at me this morning and wants to take me to an arcade. Not sure I have the energy though. Other people are asking me for dates, but I'm just...not replying. I should go do that now so I don't leave them hanging.
On a brighter note, 9 day tour coming up in 2 weeks, so that's cool! Without giving away too much (y'all know my band anyways and have seen my face), I'll be going around the midwest. We've been doing well on selling merch the past few months, so that money should be sufficient to cover the tour. Also, we'll have a roadie for the first time!
I'll end it here I guess. Hope all my comrades are well, and I love you! 
I guess I'm neutral leaning toward bad?
"My" brother's tumor is growing and while it's a lot slower than anyone expected, they never say he won't die. I know they don't want to give false hope but sometimes i wish they'd just say it instead of saying "I'm just a human" and "I believe in miracles" like its good they aren't giving up on him but telling me god himself needs to cure him doesn't make me feel better
"My" step brother and his wife have been treating "my" brothers cancer as a chance to prove their conspiracy theories correct and have further convinced my adoptive parents that if he just eats all organic, vegan food he'll be fine. Nevermind that that's all he's been eating for 8 months... and despite all my allergies that none of them have, im gonna end up being the one who does all the cooking and possibly all the grocery shopping and paying. The dickheads who bought the "anti cancer cookbook" can't be bothered to make the food for him themselves
Got into an argument with my partner last night over some stuff that I've had resentment over for a few years now but previous conversations went nowhere. I think they understand why I feel the way I feel now but I'm still hurt at what they did and that it took so long for them to see if from my perspective.
On the bright side, finished Stone Butch Blues and loved it. Still having motivation to knit, read, and do my stretches everyday although i can feel it waning. I'm reading Orientalism now and when I need a break from non fiction I'm gonna be reading all spooky/horror/thrillers for fiction this month.
Sending best vibes to you and your family
