Pretty good. Sounds like layoffs might be in my family's future, but we've weathered that storm before. I think we'll be okay.

This community is first and foremost a feminist community for men and masc people, but it is also a place to talk about men’s issues with a particular focus on intersectionality.
Rules
Everybody is welcome, but this is primarily a space for men and masc people
Non-masculine perspectives are incredibly important in making sure that the lived experiences of others are present in discussions on masculinity, but please remember that this is a space to discuss issues pertaining to men and masc individuals. Be kind, open-minded, and take care that you aren't talking over men expressing their own lived experiences.
Be productive
Be proactive in forming a productive discussion. Constructive criticism of our community is fine, but if you mainly criticize feminism or other people's efforts to solve gender issues, your post/comment will be removed.
Keep the following guidelines in mind when posting:
- Build upon the OP
- Discuss concepts rather than semantics
- No low effort comments
- No personal attacks
Assume good faith
Do not call other submitters' personal experiences into question.
No bigotry
Slurs, hate speech, and negative stereotyping towards marginalized groups will not be tolerated.
No brigading
Do not participate if you have been linked to this discussion from elsewhere. Similarly, links to elsewhere on the threadiverse must promote constructive discussion of men’s issues.

Pretty good here, though I’m worried my new apartment might have mold. I’m currently monitoring humidity and will take steps if it’s there, but I can’t handle mold’s effect on my mental health.
I have a place to stay right now, so I’m not in the apartment until I determine the mold issue.
Ok, for the most part. Didn't get much sleep last night, also feel dehydrated. Some stress over work: I'm teaching a training course for our interns and am barely able to create the course material needed for the next day of instruction. I was pulled into this late and had 2 months to create and prepare to teach a 6 week training course. Should have said no, as I did have a choice, so now am making a point to speak up for myself and enforce boundaries. I'm learning a lot from this. Ugh, so tired.
