With the world the way it is, it can be hard (at least for me) to see much of a future. So, for something positive for a change, what’s happening in your personal life, what are you getting, or what ever else is meaningful right now - what’s going on that you’re looking forward to?

Short term: new shoes! I ordered them online, they should arrive any day now. Looking forward to having something nice to wear in the summer.
Mid term: forging our wedding rings! We have a workshop coming up in a couple weeks where we’ll be forging our very own rings under supervision of a professional jeweler. Jewelry is a very lovely thing on it’s own, even more so when I’ll be creating them from scratch together with my partner - the love of my life.
Long term: our wedding next year! There’s still so much preparation to be done and so much money to save up until then, as well as the honeymoon right after that. It’s all very exciting!!

The next Lemmy release so I can finally continue with my Lemmy bot.
death
Donald Trump’s death. Really gonna enjoy that whenever it comes
And Putin and Bibi, basically all power hungry war mongering old fucks
This! I’m not a drinker but the day Donny dies I’m gonna get fucking trashed and celebrate.
I was just thinking of that. I imagined the US military actually serves it’s purpose to defend the constitution, attempts to arrest trump, he resists and then he dies.
Is just wishful thinking tho…
we gotta make sure Vance dies first
I’m not concerned about Vance as much as I am Trump. We’ll worry about Vance next.
A number of artists I like have had/will have shows here around Seattle this year, and I decided to combat the inertia by splurging and buying tickets to most of them. I always did love live shows (but damn, have they gotten more expensive).
I’ve already seen Eddie/Suzy Izzard, who was as delightful as always. Soon will be seeing Pixies, The Offspring, Josh Johnson, Demetri Martin… I think I’m forgetting somebody.
The Pixies are touring? What year is this?
I know–I can’t believe how lucky I am to have a chance to see them. I thought that possibility had long since passed.
After ten years keeping bees as part of a charity project, next year I’m leaving that and getting my very own bees. I’m very excited at the prospect!
Also, at the end of this year I’m going on a trip abroad for the first time since 2019. I’m quite apprehensive but still looking forward to it.
Going to the UK in October, looking forward to it!
A future wave and welcome, bring your brolly! Whereabouts will you be visiting?
London, Salisbury/Stonehenge, and Liverpool. 10 days total. I’ve always been a bit of an Anglophile, a big history nerd, and a huge Beatles fan. I can’t wait!
Liverpool? My condolences, at least it’s not Birkenhead on the other side of the mersey.
Awesome, still never made it to Stonehenge yet. You’ll have a blase! Annoyingly, I’m London for a few gigs next weekend or Saturday for the Solstice would be ideal
Getting out of Texas! As of Wednesday I’ll be heading north and leaving the southern US completely.
Music is central to my life, so upcoming releases, gigs, clubnights and festivals are my escapism drugs. That and uh, the actual drugs
Going to the wedding of some close friends too in July, they’re great people so I’m sure it’ll be a blast!
Finally, slowly but surely making progress on my house which I bought three years(!) ago, both in terms of much needed maintenance and filling out with furniture. Still lots to be done!
Exciting! Enjoy the ride, my friend!
Moving far away from the place I have lived almost my entire life. Like you said, it’s hard to see much of a future - there isn’t one here for me. It’s unaffordable, I hate most of the neighbours, and I’m paying rent at twice the cost of a mortgage payment. A renoviction would make me homeless. Fuck that and fuck this city, I’m out this summer.
Good for you. First thing when you land in a place you like and can afford is to build a strong and reliable support system. Good luck to you!
Thank you. I’m a mega-loner hermit and where I’m going is a very small town. If there’s a place for me in the community there I’ll give it a shot, but even if not, I still think I’ll be a lot better off than I am now.
Figuring out why I’m sick! I saw a new doctor today. The staff was nice. Every single time I step foot in the office, my blood will be stolen. Exciting!
Good luck! I hope the docs come up with solutions as well as a diagnosis, and you recover.
Hopefully! Today was just intake. They took all my blood. Okay, a lot of blood.
That’s how vampire mafia works
See, that’s what some other people told me as well! I’m fine if the vampires want my possibly tainted blood, just as long as they send some of it to testing to find out what’s wrong!
Building a fence. It’s really going to improve my life.
It’ll be fun to build. Look good. Contain my dog. Keep deer away from some stuff. Be a trellis for climbing flowers.
I’ve built a lot of fences.
My Rollerblades should be here Wednesday! Last I had a pair I was probably 17, but I started playing Bomb Rush Cyberpunk (spiritual successor to Jet Grind Radio) and was instantly hit with the urge to get back out there.
Eventually not living anymore.
Yup.
