I posted mine over on /lizardqueen I'm trying to be reasonable in my goals this year... Something we were just discussing on /spoonies actually for folks with chronic conditions setting goals can feel really difficult. ❤
One of them is to continue eating healthier and cooking more creatively.
Goals are hard as hell when you've only got so many spoons to go around. I try not to get too hung up on them, because otherwise I sink into a defeatist hole.
Yeah that was a common sentiment among the spoonies group for sure. That and the not being able to predict your condition... Plans are hard yo!
I need a job that pays well enough that we can stay where we are now and not worry about it.
So many. A bunch a writing goals. Completing full or near full time studies. Getting a new job, or temping enough that I don't need one. GMing more. Being open to new people since i'll be in lots of new social groups.
I hope to find a job, improve my health, and start the book I want to write. And get our house organized. We have too much stuff & it's out of control!!
Good luck on the book! I feel you on the organization thing--we don't have that much stuff but we are terrible at putting it away. It's gonna be a work in progress.
Thanks!
Wonderful! :)
Cook more, clean more regularly, and be a stronger, less tentative person. Own my opinions more publicly.
:D
Avoid the toxic environment that /news has become.
Seriously. Thought I had stumbled into Reddit earlier.
Oh dear!!! :( that's not good.
curious cat asks what happened.... :3
I'm still mulling over if it is even worth getting into, I started to reply to the thread but in looking at the environment, I decided there was no point and for my own mental health, just unsubscribed from that community. Trying to decide if Imzy is going to go that route or if it is just a couple people, but still, this is exactly how I left Reddit. Unsub from this toxic community, unsub from this toxic community, unsub from this toxic community, wake up one day and ask "Why am I even here?". Long story short, long-standing known 'black magazine' calls out a black man for being a jerk, the fake race rage starts up with one person asking why the headline (written by a black person, for a black editor, for a black magazine) has to call out the man for being black. Then the "they do not believe what I believe, so fuck that person anyway" posts start. I'm really not in a place right now where I can handle such raw ignorance and hatred, so I left. I know some people really like the 'kinder, gentler Reddit' narrative, but I really don't think that means take Reddit's 'fuck Democrats' attitude and turn it into 'fuck Republicans'. Which ironically, is in blatant violation of the published rules for /news. But ah well. It's 2017, and the answer to "Can't we all just get along" is apparently "Not a chance!".
Hey stile, I'm a leader in that comm, just wanted to mention, please feel free to hit the report button or shoot us a leader message if things get a bit too out of hand.
There's been some arguments we've let stand because it's clear that the general consensus doesn't agree with what x person is saying (when said thing is messed up), but if it goes over the edge into just legit uncool, please let us know.
Thank you very much for that reply, I wish I could express how much better it makes me feel. But that said, the general consensus (as measured by the hearts) seemed to be that "fuck them anyway, they disagree with my worldview so they deserve to die" was an entirely acceptable attitude, and that is what threw me into the pit of depression. That's why I didn't bother either responding or reporting.
But again, your reply does help me feel a bit better, thank you. But it is sort of like moving from basement level 23 to basement level 11. B-(
I'm sorry I'm not sure what post you're referring to. I'll try to take a look at things when I get a chance and catch up on threads I might have missed.
❤
didn't read the thread, but with the type of casual 'they should die' things i've seen on the internet since actually joining the internet last year (heh), i can only imagine.
I saw that. It was one of the first things I read after switching back on after NY break. I followed your link because I wasn't at all familiar with the site, but understood after visiting that you'd offered a subtle cue. I didn't see what happened next. Sorry you're feeling exasperated. :(
actually complete my reading goal for this year on goodreads. It's not that hard, it's what, 5 or 6 books? I just spent too much time playing Oceans and Empires and arguing with dickheads on facebook and posting pictures of my birds and didn't really finish The Weaker Vessel until just days ago. Before internet I'd read books in a day or two, even big ones. After internet, i slack off and play mobile games and chide strangers for calling me ugly when they are not model-tier themselves.
