Relaxed section for discussion and debate that doesn't fit anywhere else. Whether it's advice, how your week is going, a link that's at the back of your mind, or something like that, it can likely go here.

welcome to the weekly how's your week going thread

this thread is a pretty straightforward and relaxed one for giving updates on how your week is going and chat like that. nothing special


on my front: last week was total chaos, so hoping for things to calm down this week because it is completely fucking up my groove; unfortunately reddit is not making that easy. this is also not ideally timed for my emotional state. anyways, read book 20 for the year (America City by Chris Beckett). on book 21. maybe i'll marathon through a bunch of these in between keeping the site from being on fire

Adding that to my TBR. I got back into reading 2 years ago, it's helped my mental health so much by replacing social media. Hope your week calms down\(^-^ )

I've had great fun working through Crafting Interpreters (in Haskell and Zig, which were both new to me), and discovering a lot of new music (underscores, ethel cain, xiu xiu and more). Other than that, life's been rough, but I'm lucky to have quite a bit of free time recently at least.

Woke up at 3am and couldn't fall back asleep, but it's a freaking GOOD day, got some caffeine, not a lot of meetings at work today, and the Lemmy community grows, I'm loving it here

It's going pretty good because I think I'm finally making some progress towards being more focused. Although I need to confess that was pretty thrilled with the onboarding on lemmy and checked it a lot during the weekend.

Apart from that I'm cutting ties with general stuff and news and focusing on: books (reading The Stranger right now), one single magazine about current issues in the world, hearing good music and starting to play an old RPG after great advice I received on c/gaming. I'll workout after work and then start a campaign.

Oooh the stranger, I love that book! I remember how baffled I was when my father gave it to me when I was younger, it was unlinke anything I'd ever read, but definitely had an impact on me

After a couple of months doing photosynthesis, my ADHD medication finally decided to allow me to study this morning. But no more than 90 minutes. Now I'm again in my endless scrolling and doing nothing productive.

Besides that, I'm trying to be more active in kbin.social / lemmy instances to create more content through comments or post and engage, knowing the inevitable doom from Reddit (although I have an user on sopuli since last year).
