Some of mine are: reading 52 books, going for a walk at least once a week, getting a new piercing, and doing my budgeting every week instead of waiting multiple weeks, etc etc

What’s everyone else’s? Maybe comrades with similar goals can be accountability buddies blob-no-thoughts

    Trans my gender more, maybe start HRT (I had a stupid hallmark ass movie christmas involving reconnecting with my also non binary formally somewhat estranged sibling, which was nice and put things in perspective but also a whole thing)

    Stick to the bare minium government recommendations on alcohol. No more than 10 standards a week, no more than 4 in a setting etc. Found I’ve been drinking more when stressed.

    Engage in the local queer Bdsm scene where I’ve moved. Maybe attend events with my partner. Would really like to do some modelling for someone else. Not sure how feasible that is but could put feelers out there.

    I’m hoping to upgrade my rower and use my time to exercise slightly less but better. Some months I’ve been doing 7hrs a week of bike or rower. I want to get that to just 5hrs of rowing at a regular time.

    Read more. I’m hoping if I get my exercise in during the morning I’ll have more time for reading.

    • Consistent bass practice schedule. On the 30th and 31st, I already pushed myself super fucking hard. I practiced 6 hours on the 30th (no joke) and 2 hours on the 31st. It was really just an extreme “test,” but I’m probably gonna start with 1 hour and try to build up a longer duration of practice with time.
    • A stable job… 🤞🏿
    • Some more piercings and tatts hopefully
    • Move further into androgyny hexbear-non-binary
    • Continue the whole “listen to at least one album (one LP or two EPs) I’ve never heard before every single day” thing. I didn’t miss a single day when I started on January 1st, 2024.
    • Further my relationship with my dear 💚💚💚

    I’m too depressed for goals but I really hope you all achieve these aspirations next year. If you post here, you believe in something real, so you can live for a real purpose, so you can achieve these goals. Cheers.

    I guess I’ll list mine:

    • move over to WFPB veganism and move away from junk food veganism.
    • focus on finishing unmasking as an autistic person
    • figure out how I want to present as enby agender
    • finish my anarchist theory reading block and jump back into Lenin and Marx
    • Get my freelance web development thing off the ground and actually get paying clients.
    • Get my PSL branch off the ground

    I wanna improve my cardio. Work out more regular- I slacked off last year. I wanna improve my muscle strength. God willing im on a road to become fucking huge

    I hope to get into another romantic relationship

    I wanna try and learn 3-4 really complex and deep games like Shadow Empires, Dominons 6 etc

    Seriously thinking about going vegan

    Plus I wanna attempt and read a book a month (which might seem super low for some of you but I just got back into reading books a couple of years ago)

      I have a recommendation regarding these two goals, it’s called How Not to Die. It’s a book about the health benefits of the whole-foods plant-based diet. The book is evidence-based and has thousands of references to scientific literature. It is very informative and has a lot of useful and actionable advice. I read it in 2024 and my diet is now healthier than it’s ever been. I recommend it any chance I get. The author also wrote two cookbooks, which are also available for free on Anna’s Archive vegan-seitan

    • Get cash flow - ideally I break back into my career that I burnt out of but this welfare shit sucks a thousand festering chud dicks. I have people who need my support and I can’t help them. So I’m starting to figure out that it’s get paid by whatever means, even if that means lowering my expectations
    • Start making music again - I want to contribute to the new hexbear trans music production community or at least use it as a place to share stuff since losing my last online social circle
    • Write more poetry
    • Continue to work with a local community action group on [REDACTED] and if the legal avenues fall through [MORE REDACTED STUFF]
    • Get fitter, more healthy, more disciplined and more dangerous
    • Go out more
    • Cut back on my drugs of habit and addiction, maybe even lose all self imposed chemical shackles
    • Do more fun and interesting drugs again
    • Learn and perfect some vegan or at least vegetarian dishes so I can eat better, for cheaper and feel just a little less morally inferior to our powerful vegan comrades, who are basically always correct no matter what stupid debatelord reactionary shit might intrude on my mind while I avoid discussions on these topics. I just respect the fuck out of healthy vegans and I’m scared of how powerful some of them post. Edit: no I’m not just scared, I try to recognise when I’m wrong and it’s my place to shut the fuck up and kill my inner copelord.
    • Continue telling on myself for being white and lucky and privileged
    • Assassinate a CEO

    edit: waow-based I just read everyone else’s and I love how many of my saner and more generic goals are also goals of so many others.

        Yes please. :) DMs are open I will check them despite what my profile says.

        I’m keeping my head out of the sand for a lil while. It’s been long enough since I had to try and correct the normalisation of the coconut slur and the gooner self congratulatory posts on how much progress we’ve made with representation in pornography. I WISH I WAS JOKING.

        I don’t want to go dig up old dirt because it really pissed me off. I hope they’re all banned or did some self crit. I didn’t even get into the real problematic shit about that porn brained sillybilly’s post, just pointed out the latent transphobia in the language used to describe women’s bodies. But damnit. I logged off for 8 months I was so disgusted with hexbear at that moment in time.

    • Get a new job.
    • Thrive when I move out of the US.
    • Learn more programming.
    • Switch to Linux.
    • Read more (especially theory).
    • Decrease my weed intake.

    I need to solidify some of these into measurable goals (like you did), but this is the general list.

    I think us “read more” people should make a weekly post for how much / what you read this week. Or a matrix group? Maybe that would help with accountability? Just throwing out ideas. 😊

        We either have or used to have a weekly “what are you reading” post on the literature com

        Thanks, I’ll go check it out! Or start one once I get reading!

        Best of luck on your goals!

        Thanks, you too!

    I am going to finish reading The Will To Change and rejoin the reading group. I’ve caught up with most of the reading, so I’ll be making some posts there soonish.
