Hello comrades and welcome to the second improvement megathread of June! rainbow-has

As usual, some discussion ideas:

  • Do you want to share something you've done in the previous week? Everything counts, nothing is too small.
  • Do you have any plans or goals for next week?
  • Do you have any streaks? For example, "sober for one day." Feel free to post your streak every day in this thread.
  • If you don't have a continuous streak, did you manage to abstain from something for a day or more?
  • Did you come across some useful information or resource that might help others?

    This week was pretty good. I had a pretty good. Keeping my room clean, keeping my diet on point, and staying active.

    I'm FINALLY reading "The Autobiography of Malcolm X", it's been on my "I'm a black dude and a leftist so I should read black leftist dude books" list forever. Trying to get more "theory" in my brain as well just reading more and listening to podcasts less. I'm trying to just read the books that shows, podcasts, and YouTube channels talk about rather than just hearing their sparknotes.

    I also made sure to call some of my homies. Just to say what's up, tap in with them, make sure they are all good (even if they aren't).

    I have very far to get to I do feel a building of forward momentum, I like that feeling.

      I haven't read that book yet but it's on my list, I've heard it's good. Let us know your thoughts when you read it!

      Checking up on homies is important, I try to do it regularly as well. Especially when you are a dude, we aren't taught how to have good friendships

        I have been thinking about this a lot, particularly during the heights of COVID, but fellas aren't good at being good friends. We can certainly be good friends but I often feel like give each other too much space cause we all sort of figure "if something was up he'd talk to me". Which is often true, but you shouldn't need a reason to talk to your boyz, their your boyz. You like them and they like you so talk to them.
