Great memory. I'm just rereading this series, and it's so so chock full of these quotable hilarios.

How do you guys endure the hunger pains while losing weight? I was told to eat more protein, but what kind of protein tricks my brain into feeling full longer that has low calories? in c/vegan@lemmy.ml

Lentils, like in a daal, really does it for me.

But mostly I'm just used to feeling hungry be before I eat. It's not painful, that's just what a healthy appetite feels like. I find having a regular regimen helps cut out the second guessing.

Disclaimer that I don't know what you're eating. Maybe you just aren't eating enough. Maybe you aren't drinking enough water.

I rewatch it (and Covenant) at least once a year, and I think it holds up superbly. I actually wasn't too sure if I liked it until I rewatched it.

Not American, but I saw it as the opposite: that US voters are sick of the status quo. They want a radical change candidate who'll shake things up. They want anything but business-as-usual.

Not to discount stupidity and racism. There's that too, but I have to hope it's mostly borne out of fear.

How do you like it? I tried it a few years ago, but my vim muscular memory made it feel as uncomfortable as learning vim for the first time.

Welcome to this our third writing club update! See previous writing clubs here. As always I hope you have all had a great month, with a good balance of outdoors and indoors activities.

Here are our participants with stated goals from last month, although anyone is free comment with their own writing progress. If you'd like to join this list of participants, just say so in a comment, with a description of what you're working on and what you'd like to do this month. Easy as pie!

Okay, without further delay, our...

Writing Club - August 2024 (slrpnk.net)
 

Welcome to the second writing club update! (See the previous update here.) I hope you've had a pleasant month, and are managing to stay cool (this is me presuming northern hemisphere anyway). One short month ago, a month seemed like such a long time. But now I see it for a just a couple of weekends, and a sprinkling of free evenings.

I'm keeping this update brief, since I'm behind on my own goals. But it's raining here, and I don't have to go to work (at my job anyway) today, so I'm excited to get back to it! May you be similarly blessed with dreary weather and lack of responsibilities on this Monday.

Participants

As always, there is no pressure to have completed your goals. But sharing how your month went is super beneficial not just personally, but for the rest of us. Additionally, participants and guests are encouraged to chime in with any comments or questions they may have on project projects, writing club, etc.

Writing Club - July 2024 (slrpnk.net)
 

Welcome to the inaugural writing club update! This is a brand new writing club, first proposed here. I have some ideas about what I want from this club, but where we go from here is open ended.

So feel free to start new posts or spinoffs in between my monthly posts, as long as they jive with the rules in our gracious host community's sidebar, you have my full support. :)

On to the whole point of this club! The following brave things set to text concrete goals for themselves (linked beside their names, just below). If you'd like to join their number, simply say so in the comments, along with your goal for this month. Okay, here are the stars of our show: 👏👏👏👏

Participants

You don't have to share any of the actual material you've worked on unless you want to (you could even use our local Etherpad to share writing stuff - for example).

Here are some questions to start you off. I'm genuinely interested in your answers, but don't feel you need to follow my script. This is just a prompt:

  • How do you think you did on your goal(s)?
  • What would you like to accomplish for our next check-in in August?
  • Is there a part of your project that you'd especially like feedback on?
  • Is there anything about this writing club you'd like us to do differently?

No stress if you didn't accomplish everything you set out to (I fell short and I'm still here hehe). I would love to hear your updates no matter how things went!

I'll share my own progress in a comment below. What I'm hoping from this step is that we treat this as part check-in, and part conversation. This is your chance to really dig into each others' projects (and if someone has done so for you, maybe it would be nice to return the favour and take an interest in their own project? ;))

Update 2024-09-05: The writing club is underway! I'll keep this post updated to act as a hub for any further WC related materials.

Writing Club posts:

I've never been in a writing club but I'm interested in trying to get one going. Would anyone else be interested in giving it a go? I don't have to lead it, but will do so if no one else wants to.

What I'm picturing:

  • Monthly check-in cadence
  • Everyone sets a personal goal, and then talks about how they did the previous month
  • No pressure other than what you want to take on to motivate you
  • Maybe some "assignments" in the vein of a creative writing class
  • I volunteer to send members reminder DMs to motivate them :)

I was thinking I'd just start with this post - come up with a goal for myself to accomplish by end of June, and then check back sometime in the first week of July. If that sounds interesting to you, feel free to join in and comment with your goal, and any details you want to add.

PS Also very open to writing club discussion meta. I'm new to this so wide open to suggestios, comments, critique, etc.
