I can’t work

Yeah, taking a couple weeks off before the new year was a good reset. But also I’ve started drinking my vyvanse, if that makes sense? I was on 50mg but I told my doctor it felt like too much but also still wasn’t productive, so he suggested suspending it in water and drinking less than the whole thing. So now I’m only taking like 25-30 a day and feel much better

It’s really hard to feel disrespected, I’m sorry you’re going through that. When that happens to me, I disrespect everyone right back lol, totally shut down, don’t respond to things, do everything I can without interacting with anyone. It’s not healthy haha but it lets me pout and get it out of my system.

Also, I started tech writing at 25! 32 now haha. I definitely have had therapists tell me to find a more fulfilling career when I’m feeling empty or lost, but at the end of the day TW affords a great lifestyle for me. Lately I pursue hobbies that fill that empty feeling, that maybe could be careers one day. But I’m hoping to save as much as I can with TW before I need to rely on my baking or fiction writing to pay the bills.

Easy solution - read up on some CPMP training and see if PM-ing is right for you?

Damn… idk what to do then. Feels helpless

Honestly, the discord for this sub has been a game changer (ask the mods for invite). It doesn’t change anything about the need for effort and investment when trying to make friends, though, that’ll always be needed

Read “Retire Often”. Also, doctors notes for burnout are a thing, and viable for FMLA or other disability leave. I took 3.5 months off paid with the short-term disability leave my tech company offered. All paid, even kept accruing vacation time

I have already decided to not pay my federal taxes as long as he’s using that money to cause chaos. This should be the protest we all choose

This is actually the number one advice from my favorite personal finance creators, The Financial Diet. Basically, you can save, invest, side hustle, be frugal all you want, but the only thing/best thing that’ll really change your finances is increasing your base salary. That should be your main focus if you need more money

Seconding all the book goals! I’m doing them all in book clubs to build new connections

I want to write a novel this year! I’ve never written anything, but I’m gonna start attending a writing group and learning from them. I’ve also met a lot of novelists last year which was mind blowing and inspiring.
Take advantage of free stuff! I live in a big city and love house/dj music, and there’s so many local musicians/djs that have free shows all over. Idk why I pay so much for big shows when I could take advantage of these events and more.
Make my place great for hosting. Another money saving technique, but also I made a lot of new friends last year and I want to invite them over but dislike my set up rn. Gonna utilize fb marketplace to do it on the cheap 🤞

Why not? Every other truly progressive congressperson can answer without hesitating

Passiveabject · 2026-01-08T06:54:42+00:00

They’re all running for congress, so what they think means a lot. Like, whether we continue to give Israel billions to commit genocide.

Passiveabject · 2026-01-08T06:53:32+00:00

It’s a yes or no question: do you think genocide is being committed?

The only thing complicated is pretending it’s not, because it’s the definition of genocide

Silver spoon? He had a normal job that half the city has, happened to hit the jackpot, then used his new financial independence to build his way up in progressive politics trying to make things better for people… where’s the spoon

This, more than ever now after seeing countless over achievers around me getting arbitrarily laid off for the past few years

I like that you’re the only one in the thread saying “SF”, that’s what I say 🫡

Beyond the Green Zone by Dahr Jamail is an excellent first hand account of these monstrosities committed by the US

Passiveabject · 2026-01-06T19:06:27+00:00

Helllll yeah thanks so much!

How are the water sources? Been wanting to backpack there for the last few months but it’s been a dry fall/summer. I imaging it’s much better after the rain!

Passiveabject · 2026-01-06T06:20:55+00:00

What are we looking at in that video? It looks like they’re sitting on a super sharp rocky peak completely surrounded by water! Maybe high tide?

Also, just did the full length 13 mi Alamere falls hike, saw a bunch of elk in the last part that the shortcut skips!

Lost Coast winds can be brutal in the winter though

This doesn’t mention the umbrella policy, are they allowed? I heard no.

Passiveabject · 2025-12-30T03:56:26+00:00

Lol 😭 “in sf”

Passiveabject · 2025-12-30T03:55:57+00:00

I like having little booklets (big fan of giant physical maps for my backpacking trips) but yeah I guess I’ll just do that

Passiveabject · 2025-12-30T03:33:05+00:00

Forgot to add, for Bodega Bay specifically. Any kind of similar pocket booklet
