Heya! That time again! For the new folks, this thread is a space to tell us about something fun and cool you have going on, vent about something, or find an ear that you may need. Hope you've been well!

Remember, you are loved avoheart

For my own part, while my attention span continues to get worse and worse, im still powering through Jojo's Bizarre Adventure and trying to keep warm. Pretty nasty out where I'm at, and won't get better for another week or so. No leads on the job hunt, but I did start looking into nonprofit stuff and got a few apps out, so thats kind of exciting in and of itself. Partner stayed with me for a few days last week, and am arranging a date with someone I've been seeing around in local leftist/queer/gaming circles. And by date I mean "come watch movies with the pup and I cause we're poor." Or maybe we'll shoot some free pool at a spot by me, who knows.

Lastly - ayyyyy two months without alcohol! I seemed to have swapped it out with a caffeine addiction though, but oh well. More coffee, anyone?

Hope you're doing well, friends!

Eh, neutral. Been switching between depressed and fine. Currently on fine, with terrible weather conditions slightly reducing my hours and compelling me to stay indoors and relax a little. Getting some reading in.

Switching off between the Quran and someone's biography of banjoist Horace Weston.

I'm doing good but cold brrrrr

Deep on my garden grindset, at least until the ground froze. I've been doing a ton of research on veganic gardening while i'm trapped inside. I'm motivated to find a job, looking every week but haven't found the perfect one to swap to yet. My job is fine, i just feel like it's lowkey misogynist and not what i want to be doing for the rest of my life so i can ride it out until i find a better one.

I want the world to change so much yet there are so many fighting that. It hurts at times, but it feels empowering when you realize that despite that, you can actually do a lot as one person. Maybe i can't change the world, but i can make it more pleasant for those around me in a limited capacity. And maybe that's fine. Maybe if everyone did that, we'd be okay. If nothing else i can do is offer solidarity to someone to needs it, at least i'll have done something.

I'm having some communication issues with a comrade at the moment that are really piquing my anxieties and some old trauma wounds. I need to suck it up and talk to them I guess.

other than that, I'm doing miraculously well.

my stupid car is shitting its guts out and i'm starting to think i need a better way to make money. and the fact that it's cold as balls doesn't help. also the guy at the gas station accused me of trying to shoplift a drink even though i'm in there all the time and i've never stolen a single thing there and he just kept doubling down for no reason just cuz i look like a piece of shit.

[–] corgiwithalaptop@hexbear.net 2 points 2 years ago

Hope things look up for you soon! Sorry about the car, thats always some expensive shit
