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

You should check out Casiotone for the Painfully Alone. A lot of his songs are like this, the rest tend to be short stories set to music. Excellent band ( although I think it's just one guy named Owen Asheworth). He calls the project Advanced Base now, also really good

I majored in English, now I make artisanal pizzas.

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'll have to check it out. Obviously a man of taste

I have no idea who john green is. Enlighten me

The Mountain Goats- the Sunset Tree. It's a concept album, if you're a lyric person give it a listen. Regardless if it gets enough upvotes. Do yourself a favor, it's that good

One day at a time. Much better at the moment, just left a meeting. It's hard but it's worth it. Thanks for asking, I hope you have a good day

I was a pretty bad alcoholic/addict. Long story short, rehab and treatment.

Hands down capybaras. They are so incredibly adorable and chill

I spend most of my time on beehaw, they're my kind of people

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

I find myself going on jags of rereading. I always have something new that I'm reading with some others in the wings, but sometimes I get an itch to reread books. Usually I'll pick up an old Vonnegut novel, for example, and realize how much I've missed his style and message. That leads me to binge several more of an authors books.

Library and a punk show! Sounds like a great fucking weekend!

Pride that shit up!

I still have things in boxes from 2 moves ago, maybe I don't need them...

That sounds like a rad job!

Happy birthday! Enjoy spending time with your loved one, that's a present in and of itself! Also, fuck landlords

Thank you for posting this! I'm always looking for some new recipes

I've been sober now for a little over two months. Socializing is definitely more difficult, not because of not wanting to be around situations where people are drinking. I live in a small town, everyone I'm around knows that I checked myself into treatment, so that's not an issue. The issue is that I find myself being bored by normal social situations. I'm working on getting out more, and I do have a small but awesome group of sober friends. I think it's just different now. That's something I need to except and work through myself. Congrats on getting sober!
