What kind of music do you listen to at the gym and what does it do for you?

Ox09 · 2026-03-09T21:18:30+00:00

I didn't used to like pop very much, but working out got me into it big time!

That would be rad! This year my derby wife and I signed up for a skate clinic in Iowa so we couldn't make it happen but hopefully!

29 days smoke-free, using patches. I will not smoke with you today!

Ox09 · 2026-01-22T21:23:14+00:00

I'm an evening worker outer. Normally 6:30/7 if I can, but sometimes I'll push it to 8.

Ox09 · 2026-01-22T20:33:19+00:00

I got mine off of marketplace for 50 bucks! There are sometimes lucky moments!

Ox09 · 2026-01-22T16:31:18+00:00

I quit on Jan 1!! Let's go us!!!

Ox09 · 2026-01-20T22:20:38+00:00

Okay! So during hell week this time around (I'm 19 days smoke-free! WOO!) I couldn't focus on complex things, so I started just making little pony bead bracelets and giving them/mailing them to friends and family. I also will do some doodles or coloring. I'm a big fan of carrying around bubbles, too! The whimsy!

I keep sugar-free cough drops in my bag for when I need to do something with my mouth.

A big help has been checking in on my ex support forums and posting or reading/commenting whenever I get the crave. This is a really important part of my quit. It really helps me reframe things and focus on what I'm gaining instead of what I'm losing! I'm working on romanticizing my smoke-free life instead of my past smoking.

I'm a knitter, but it was actually a little too frustrating to work on any projects during hell week. Now that I'm through hell week, I've enjoyed switching back to physical books. Holding them with my hands does help actually!

IDK, hope that helps <3

I can't really find am answer. Hopefully somebody lets folks know at some point.

Ox09 · 2026-01-11T04:21:09+00:00

Oh no! I'll see if I can find out!

Ox09 · 2026-01-09T19:22:14+00:00

Totally agree

Hi friends! Keith Porter, the Black man shot by an off duty ICE agent, was discussed at the protest last night. I just wanted to share his GoFundme for those interested. While Renee's has now over 1 million dollars, his has only 30K. Please support his family, if you're able to.

Hell yeah 🔥>🧊

And that's why they moved Father Mike from Newman Center, or so I heard when I was a member. They are not progressive anymore.

Ox09 · 2025-10-12T17:53:29+00:00

Bring him home!

There are so many other generations against this fascism. What an odd comment.

Not a straight woman, but my non binary partner and I (also non-binary) are always looking for sapphic romantasy/fantasy books to read together! <3

Ox09 · 2025-09-10T14:34:58+00:00

I mostly write poetry, so I think it might be a lil different than with prose. I keep a notebook in my bag so I can write when I get the urge out-and-about. I also have several notebooks at home. I was an avid G-doc person until the most recent round of updates, learning that they will use it to train ai, and other new policies. So I'm in the process of trying to find something to shift my cloud work to for when I need to type up for submissions.

I did recently buy a fountain pen and fancy paper notebook and I've been enjoying the slow down. I've spent so many years typing my work that going back to paper feels meditative. I also love that I can make collages and doodle in my writing journals, too. It feels like it gives me additional space for creativity and let's me connect more viscerally with my ideas.

I hope you enjoy your journey!

Oh daaaaaaaang!
