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

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!

Talked with my partner last night and we’ve decided to start a podcast. I’m an Extremely Online theory-brain and she’s a burnt-out former activist, and we both know lots of people in media and activism/organization.

Had a real sudden blizzard in my city, which is way scarier when you work with houseless people. The emergency winter shelters are open but we’re struggling to get enough people to run them, and I’ve been doing a lot of street outreach in the snow.

But in a way I’m happier to be worrying about my local community than about global politics or personal problems. I can cry about that stuff later.

Feeling daily like I could come down sick, must be the weather. Got dinner yesterday, felt good to eat a hearty meal after surviving on pizza for a while.
