1st day of summer break! Aiming for a good balance of relaxation and productivity, as there are things I need to get done this week. So far it's working out.

I came here from the reddit fallout, but I'm really bad about posting and commenting.

I feel awful. Tested negative for COVID, but I haven't felt this bad since I had it.

It's just a repost from AP. Here's the original.

The older I get, the more range in age of friends I have. I have friends in their 70s and in their 20s at this point. And you definitely shouldn't feel embarrassed about learning something new when you're older. How boring would it be to only know the same things we did when we were 20 for the rest of our lives?

It's only Monday, and I'm TIRED. Three weeks of school left, and the kids are wackadoodle.

I'd love to hear more about your experience! And I bet there are plenty of people here who would enjoy your art and writing as well.

Right? This doesn't read as satire, but I'm baffled how anyone could write this with a straight face.

I've managed to migrate from air mattress and blanket to couch and blanket and I think avoided being hungover, so not too shabby.

At least you got an hour in! That's one more hour than if you hadn't gone.

I'm super proud of a friend who just ended a relationship with someone who was being incredibly controlling. I'm very worried though because she keeps questioning her decision. I've luckily never found myself in her situation. Any advice from someone who has?

Currently drinking a beer in bed. Tomorrow I'm going hiking in the morning and to a country dance bar at night. (The latter is definitely not my thing, but I'm being supportive of a friend.) Sunday, another hike and lunch with a friend, and then I'm thinking backyard fire pit time with my partner. Monday ideally will be games all day, but we'll see if life gets in the way.
