For all the new folks, welcome! I generally make these threads every so often to check in on people, let people vent, or share cool news they have.
So, come on in! What's been going on with you lately? How are you feeling about it?
Remember, you are loved :stalin-heart:
As for myself, my partner's brain med switch is NOT going well at all. I've been trying my best to take care of them, but I know we just gotta wait this out. Other than that, my drummer seems to have calmed down after this weekend, and we're back to writing stuff. Getting the fuck out of this city for the rest of our summer shows. Beyond that, starting gabapentin today for my heart, and after having tried some from my partner, it seems to work decently! Also, I can get back to running today now that a foot blister has healed.
I am back on the job market for the first time since the pandemic started (financial support which allowed me to hide at home has dried up). Allow me to join the chorus of voices who say that it sucks. I am so frustrated. I’ve been thinking of the local grocery store as the only place that will hire me (I’ve had almost nothing but white collar jobs since I graduated college) and I console myself with the idea of unionizing the workers there but I actually see them all the time and most appear to have either accepted the shittiness or are just planning to move on the moment they find something better. Being proletarianized wouldn’t be so bad if I had other proletarians to be with :deeper-sadness:
