just want a quiet beer with my book, recommendations appreciated <3

i know how to physically use a paintbrush or put words on a page, and i do create things sometimes, but i don't understand how to channel what's deep inside me into art. how do i do that? i have a lot going on in my head and i would love to have a creative outlet for it but i just don't understand it at all when people talk about channeling what's inside them into their art. i hope this question makes sense

hey friends! i'm interested in taking boxing lessons (also open to kickboxing and muay thai, but really most interested in boxing), but i'm very unathletic and very intimidated by gym culture as a fat person. i'm not looking to lose weight, just looking for a new hobby in a space where i won't be treated differently for my size. any recommendations?

p.s. please also no comments about weight loss, i'm really not trying to have that conversation. just scroll on if you feel the urge to tell me how to fix myself, thank you

my internet friend quit drinking a while ago (afaik not in a formal program) and just posted that they're drinking again. i want to reach out to them, but i don't know what to say. should i reach out right now while they're drinking or wait until tomorrow? they're not mean or dangerous, i'm just not sure what the right approach is. i want to support them and help them move forward from this if i can. any advice is appreciated, thank you

sorry i ran off in the middle of our conversation! you were asking me about my book right as i was about to leave, and my brain was stuck in Leaving Mode so i just walked out. you were very nice, sorry i abandoned our chat like that! have a great sunday 😎

when i want to read a book i usually check libby first and keep an eye out at thrift shops, but EH books are not really available in those venues. i don't like to spend a lot of money on books, so used or ebooks are typically my go-to. what format (physical/ebook/audio/pirated?) and what store/app do you typically get your EH reads from?

anyone else hear that? definitely wasn't fireworks
