Hello comrades and welcome to the first improvement megathread of December! 
The thread is one day late this time, sorry about that.
Some discussion ideas:
+ How was your week?
+ Do you have any plans for next week?
Poster caption: To grow is our change!
A community which focusses on improving yourself. This can be in many different ways - from improving physical health or appearance, to improving mental health, creating better habits, overcoming addictions, etc.
While material circumstances beyond our control do govern much of our daily lives, people do have agency and choices to make, whether that is as "simple" as disciplining yourself to not doomscroll, to as complex as recreating yourself to have many different hobbies and habits.
This is not a place where all we do is talk about improving "productivity" (in a workplace context) and similar terms and harmful lifestyles like "grindset". Self-improvement here is intended to make you a generally better and happier person, as well as a better communist, and any other roles you may have in your life.
Rules and guidelines:
Some disappointing news. That job I think I interviewed really well for? They turned me down. Did some “but we have so many great applicants” bullshit. This caused a relapse in my mental health over the weekend.
For anyone that was in this situation where you had a period of unemployability, not just unemployment. How did you get employers to trust you? Either way. I want to message some professors at this kind of reach university for some possible grad programs, what skills I might mesh well with and what I might be good at learning.
