And we're back! If you haven't seen me make these threads before, been doing it for two years now every so often, and it's just a space to talk about anything cool you have going on, or a chance to vent if you got something on your mind. Hope you've all been well, and extending solidarity!

Remember, you are loved stalin-heart

For my own part - still unemployed, things are going ok with the partner, and later today I'm gonna stop by a sushi place and ask if they're hiring. Saw it pop up by my apartment yesterday walking home from the train, and they had a sign up for their soft open, so figure now is the time to see if they need anyone for something like a host. Been playing Inkulinati which is good fun - turn based combat game stylized to look like a medieval manuscript page. About 92 eipsodes into One Piece so far, and my partner bought me a Luffy hat to wear around. Saw my folks yesterday, and my dad didn't have any mental blocks, so that's good!

Hope you're all doing well!

    Still heartbroken, still McFuckingTired of being told to move on, and being treated like I need an intervention or some shit—everyone refusing to engage in any discussion about them, etc. I am edging dangerously close to opioid addiction.

    Thanks for these posts, corgi!

    Unfortunately I'm not doing so good. I'm unemployed, no one will even give me an interview, and I'm watching my life go by being wasted. I literally cannot live life because no one wants to give me permission to live life. What's worse is that there's only two pieces of advice I get

    1. "Just go get STEM skills bro": To do that, I need to go to college and I can't afford housing

    2. "Just network bro": I have no friends, let alone wealthy and successful friends. I just want a minimum wage job and people are assuming I have billionaire friends to hire me as a favor? Besides, I live in rural Ohio so it's not like I can make friends anyways. Besides, it will take years of faking a friendship to get anyone to want to do something for you.

    I'm a complete failure in life.

    I'm backsliding, I can't even talk to people anymore. Shit's like a hostage negotiation trying to talk to me. Uh death to normals, down with neurotypicals, etc

    I'm not bad. Working on a podcast with my partner. I have to learn how to properly edit sound files. It's not fun.

      I could probably give you a hand! Been recording myself for like 20 years now. Any questions offhand?

      Also that's cool, what's the podcast about?

        No questions come to mind right now, though I'm always clueless when it comes to what will end up working in actual content. I'll try to remember to hit you up if anything comes to mind. I greatly appreciate it!

        We're focused on local (Vancouver, BC) politics, but we're working on some longer investigations, and I'd like to do movie/media reviews from a leftist perspective.

    Just had a very vindicating therapy session, so feeling pretty nice. I have been in a slump the last few days after my father was very transphobic with me. Hope everyone is doing well hugs

    Honestly? Not great. I have an eating disorder that's chipping away at my sanity and I've been off work more than I've been at work due to that, panic attacks and depression. I have to go back next week and I just don't care...like I gotta work to live but I don't give a fuck. Tempted to take some longer term leave but I'm not convinced it'll help so like...what do?

    I'm medicated for the anxiety and depression, can't take benzos because of addictive nature (used to take recreational drugs and don't trust myself honestly) so what do I do? Persist and be unhappy? Can't see any light at the end of the tunnel.
