[META] What sort of recurrent discussion threads would you like to see here?
Currently I have a Free Talk Friday thread in mind and longer term would like to do Mental Health Mondays. I think Mental Health Monday should probably wait until I can put together some more resources and better guidelines for posting on mental health related topics (particularly content warnings), so don't expect to see that in the immediate future. Other than those what else would you guys like to see?
I like questions of the week type posts personally. Simple prompt, get some different takes, etc.
Free Talk Friday sounds nice to me - maybe even as @Lettuce mentioned with a leading question or a hook for engagement?
Otherwise maybe a monthly media/book exchange, basically a more focused place to share what we have been reading, consuming or something that is relevant for us/masculinity?
Thanks for asking though spaduf :)
...what have you been reading/consuming?
I’ve only now watched a few videos of oliSUNvia (I hope I spelled that right) - especially her popular video about how love is portrayed felt quite accurate to me. That the focus is usually that you are getting love and not how it is also a very active practice.
Then I am still debating on what Bell Hooks Book I wanna give a spin.
I also watched Arrival again. And thought about how it could be seen as a stoicist take on life that we have to embrace potential hurt and tragedy and be open for the unknown to blossom.
Those would be my takeaways from August. How about you and thanks for asking :)
