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 avoheart

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!

      Nah it’s cool, I can share. The work right now is cutting down on its emotional significance for me so that I can read criticism and not feel insulted or incompetent.

      Without dropping too long a paragraph I feel comfortable calling it “speculative mythology.” I tried imagining a people and then tried imagining the pop culture stories they would share with each other. But because I am a nerd I wanted to toss some cool bug facts in there too and wound up with a people whose social structure was very antlike without getting too specific (living in colonies, exclusive reproductive from a queen, castes, etc).
