Back again with these threads! For all the new folks, this is a safe space to tell us about anything cool you have going on, anything you want to vent about, and everything in between.

Remember, you are loved stalin-heart

Things have been up and down for me. In a glum mood today. Been hanging out with someone new, and that's been nice, I'm just not sure if I really want to keep it up. Home life is....fine, I guess. Still living with my ex, they're gonna give things until the end of the year to see if their career picks up any, and if not, they'll move home. That said, they've been talking about that for years, so I'll believe it when I see it. They broke down and finally yelled at me for the first time a few nights ago, so I silently carved a pumpkin and then just stayed over with the person I've been seeing. As nice as the couch I live on is, it was nice to sleep in a bed for a night or two this past week.

Job front is slow moving, but I had a promising interview last Wednesday. Was supposed to hear back Thurday afternoon or Friday, but even with a followup email I sent, no reply. Fingers crossed I guess.

I deleted a few of my dating apps, still have a small amount installed. A Maoist actually hollered at me this morning and wants to take me to an arcade. Not sure I have the energy though. Other people are asking me for dates, but I'm just...not replying. I should go do that now so I don't leave them hanging.

On a brighter note, 9 day tour coming up in 2 weeks, so that's cool! Without giving away too much (y'all know my band anyways and have seen my face), I'll be going around the midwest. We've been doing well on selling merch the past few months, so that money should be sufficient to cover the tour. Also, we'll have a roadie for the first time!

I'll end it here I guess. Hope all my comrades are well, and I love you! meow-hug

I now live above a highway and tonight's treat is watching some guy who wrecked his fastmobile inspect what the tow truck is doing lest they add yet another scratch to his totaled fastmobile.

Struggling to get a full eight hours of sleep due to an inability to stop worrying about politics, both stateside and abroad. Still, I got an assload of soldering done and I managed to clean my toilet so violently I broke the wand brush by accident

Doing mostly good, happy relationship and my studies are going soso. Working on getting my insomnia treated but at the moment my sleep schedule is non existent. Once I get that worked out I'll be golden

Life has been up and down a lot the last few months, what with moving, figuring out i’m trans, starting transitioning, getting sick, new city, ect. The next few weeks will be incredible though. Going on a long distance backpacking trip with one of my oldest friends.

Enjoy the trip comrade! Congrats on the transition!

At a 8 on a scale from 0 to coraline's dad on the overworked spectrum but otherwise okay.

I've finally started to snap and be a dick to people in my life. I've been pulling too much of the share of the weight by merit of being the driver. I don't really get many opportunities to be lazy and when regret it. That said, better than I was a couple weeks ago.

Quite well actually. Started uni a few weeks ago and I'm doing linguistics which I'm really into so that's been pretty fun. I've had a bit of extra time now that I'm more settled in as well, so I finally started learning Arabic (fus7a that is) for real, which I've been wanting to do for a long time and it definitely hasn't disappointed because it's a really cool language. Also I met someone really cool on the introduction day thingy for my programme and we've been talking a lot, like a lot a lot, and it's been really nice, it's been quite some time since I've vibed with someone this well I think.

On the other hand ye olde eating disordre is a thing still I guess, although in kind of a weird way where I almost don't know if I can call it that. It hasn't really even been on my mind almost at all, which in pretty stark contrast to a while ago, and it doesn't feel like I've been eating that little, but at the same time I've clearly lost a fair amount of weight (can't say how much bc I have refrained from getting a scale) since arriving here because basically none of my clothes seem to fit anymore. So yeah idk what's up with that

Glad uni is going well!

Can't speak to much to that other thing, but I hope it calms down soon meow-hug

The portuguese marxist leninist discord server I'm on just got its first maoist, if he starts bringing his friends I'm starting the countdown until the server implodes or becomes politically useless to the left

I have a sewing machine now and I'm very eager to start sewing everything. Pants too long? hem that shit. Pant seat feels a bit off? Alterations. Shirts too large? not anymore.

I'm sure I'm about to mess up a bit, but it'll be fine. I'm just happy I get to learn a new useful skill to add to my skills cabinet.
