welcome to the weekly how’s your week going thread
this thread is a pretty straightforward and relaxed one for giving updates on how your week is going and chat like that. nothing special
on my front: last week was total chaos, so hoping for things to calm down this week because it is completely fucking up my groove; unfortunately reddit is not making that easy. this is also not ideally timed for my emotional state. anyways, read book 20 for the year (America City by Chris Beckett). on book 21. maybe i’ll marathon through a bunch of these in between keeping the site from being on fire
Adding that to my TBR. I got back into reading 2 years ago, it’s helped my mental health so much by replacing social media. Hope your week calms down＼(- )
I’m doing pretty great. Spent all weekend volunteering at pride events and meeting lots of amazing people. Been having fun hanging around beehaw too so that’s been a positive as well 😊
So far Beehaw seems like a chill place to chat, I’m interested to see how things go in the next few weeks!
I’ve had great fun working through Crafting Interpreters (in Haskell and Zig, which were both new to me), and discovering a lot of new music (underscores, ethel cain, xiu xiu and more). Other than that, life’s been rough, but I’m lucky to have quite a bit of free time recently at least.

Woke up at 3am and couldn’t fall back asleep, but it’s a freaking GOOD day, got some caffeine, not a lot of meetings at work today, and the Lemmy community grows, I’m loving it here
After a couple of months doing photosynthesis, my ADHD medication finally decided to allow me to study this morning. But no more than 90 minutes. Now I’m again in my endless scrolling and doing nothing productive.
Besides that, I’m trying to be more active in kbin.social / lemmy instances to create more content through comments or post and engage, knowing the inevitable doom from Reddit (although I have an user on sopuli since last year).
Think I’ll have to share in calling this week total chaos as the last few days I’ve been moving across the country to pursue an internship at NASA. It’ll be my first week at work there so here’s hoping it goes well. I also have a class I’m currently taking with an exam tomorrow. Very stressful indeed.
Omg that’s so fucking cool, congrats and hope you it goes dope !
Thanks! Going well so far!
Congratulations, good luck! Remember not to swear at your bosses
Lol yeah I’m not planning on it!
I’ve had better weeks. One of my guinea pigs who has been sick for a while got sick enough that she had to be put down, with the added bonus that this became obvious about 15 minutes before I had to go meet my new landlord to pick up the keys to my new apartment. On the plus side, moving into the new apartment has been easy, I thought I would need to do a lot of back and forth to move stuff before the movers come to take the big things, but seems like that’s mostly done. Also, my other guinea pig is doing well despite the loss of her friend, so that is good also.
I’m really sorry about your guinea pig. It’s always tough losing a pet.
Thank you
I’m waging a losing war against the squirrels for my flower bed. So far, I have saturated the area with Irish Spring soap shreds and sprayed a mix of Repel All/Tobasco sauce on everything. The smell is nauseating.
Does anyone know if those sonic repellant machines actually work?
I have no idea, but now I am imagining tiny squirrels in WW2 helmets planning an ambush on your garden, so thanks for that!
