Hello comrades and welcome to the first improvement megathread of May! 
It's a great time to set some plans for this month if you haven't already.
Some discussion ideas:
- How was your week?
- Do you have any plans for next week?
- Do you have any plans for May?
- Do you have some streaks or sober days to share?
poster caption: "May 1st, the All-Russian Subbotnik"
spoiler
This iconic Soviet poster by the artist Dmitrii Moor calls on subbotnik (Saturday volunteer) workers to help with public improvement jobs. Subbotnik workers were citizens and/or soldiers who labored without pay on the weekend. This poster was printed for the Moscow subbotnik of 1920 where Vladimir Lenin personally attended. Initially, subbotniks were sporadic local efforts (the first one was in 1919) to boost moral and increase work in the early days of the revolution. But as time progressed, subbotnik work became obligatory and the jobs tended to be mundane and even politically-motivated. Work in the name of “the motherland” generally benefited higher-echelons (party members, plant managers, etc.) who gained the benefits from the free subbotnik laborers.
Good luck with your goals! 
BENCHED 225 lbs! VICTORY!
I have four interviews coming up. I’m going to be employed soon, I just know it!
Two whole months where I have never touched alcohol. Never had a problem with it, but I want to limit it.
Spent most of this weekend touching grass, I even had small talk with strangers
ran into someone from college. No guarantee they’ll call me back but I gave them my number and we shot the shit for a few minutes
I feel like I have made some epiphanies and I’ll share them in my new goals.
New goals:
I have realized I have been not the best friend, not that I think it’s malice but I am piss poor at reaching out to people, especially long distance friends. So I want to work up the courage to reach out to people more
I want to make progress in learning skills to live alongside my autism. Especially if the possibility of living away from my parents might be a possibility.
I want some hobbies. Recently in my grass touching adventures I’ve been in the vicinity of a gay venue and realized y’all are nerds (and nerds are very much my people.) Specifically, I’d like to get started in learning some art form, whether it be drawing, music, 3d modeling in blender, or animation, I’d love to make some silly little trinkets and possibly be a producer of culture and not just a consumer.
Regarding the new hobbies, I always advise people to learn playing the guitar.
It is relatively easy to pick up, you can go from zero to playing your favourite songs in just a few weeks. I suggest taking a few lessons at first but it's also possible to learn on your own since there are a lot of resources online. Learning the guitar makes it easier to learn other, more complicated instruments if you wish. I think it's one of the best hobbies for people looking to be more creative
Actually sounds pretty good, always a good conversation starter as an added bonus.
Holy moly!
