how's your week going, Beehaw in c/chat@beehaw.org
[–] Calvinball@beehaw.org 6 points 1 year ago

All in all, pretty good. I finished with intensive out patient last week, so I start regular out patient today (3 months sober!). It's my second week of my new job and so far everyone is pretty chill. My pixelfed account is trending right now (I'm not completely sure what that means/does, but either way it's cool that people are enjoying my hobby) I'm @Swanton if any of you want to check it out. It's only Tuesday, but so far so good

I majored in English, now I make artisanal pizzas.

You ever think about how borders and countries are just some extreme rich guy shit that we've all been trained to believe are real? in c/chat@beehaw.org

I think about things like this all the time. Take the Louisiana purchase, the Americas "bought" a swath of land from the french. The French barely "controlled" any of it, and the concept of them "owning" it was completely theoretical. The Native Americans were the only people living in the majority of it. Rich people doing rich people things. Crazy

I picked up some extra work so my weekend will be pretty much nonexistent. Let me live vicariously through you. Anything fun or exciting? Anything shitty you want to vent about? Boring normal stuff that needs done? Lay it on me!

what is something that immediately makes you think someone is a decent human being? (beehaw.org)
 

I think people who are patient and interact with children with respect and empathy is a giveaway.

I absolutely love it here. It's everything an old anarcho hippy punk could ask for. No regrets on leaving reddit

what are your go to indoor activities? (beehaw.org)
 

It's going to rain all day where I am tomorrow. I had plans to go hiking, but that's not going to happen. I have some video games I've meant to start, but I'm trying to think outside of the box. what are your favorite (cheap or free) indoor activities. I'm up for any ideas

Mine is going to be laid back if all goes according to plan. I'm going to do some birding with a friend tomorrow morning, then I'm headed to a used bookstore to buy a copy of "the pricess bride" that I talked myself out of the other day (I've never read it). Then I'm hitting the farmers market and then relaxing at home for the foreseeable future. Enjoy your weekend!

My friend and I went on a five hour hike today. I had a great time hiking, but I think I enjoyed getting home and sitting down almost as much. The feeling of all of my sore muscles melting as my whole body sighed with relief was fantastic.

I've only made two posts so far, but everyone has given legitimate and intelligent responses to both. It's made me realize how not used to that I had become. It's an overwhelming positive feeling to not be nervous about sharing with this community. Thank you to all of you

What is something simple that you do to decompress and keep yourself centered? (beehaw.org)
 

I personally enjoy taking long walks. It doesn't matter if it's in the woods, on a bike trail, or just through town. There's something nice about just meandering and being alone with your thoughts while still being immersed in the outside world.
