RULES
- Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
- Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
- Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
- Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on !goodoffmychest@lemmy.world

Mostly weight training. My favorite store is going out of business, which sucks, but at least I got a lot of protein on closeout so I've had a better bulking session than usual 🥲
Trying to read more too, but it's hard, because most of my downtime is during meals, and I don't like to have food near library books. I think I've only hit something like 80 pages in 7 days.
You could also look for magazines separately If you are interested in Arduino or microcontrollers and projects, for example, there are certainly a few good ones where you can always learn something new. Or another area that interests you. The length of the articles is actually perfect for reading while eating. The price is also not comparable with books so it wouldn't be so bad.
Thanks! I'm mostly interested in fiction right now but the wait for ebooks at my library is long 🥲 I know there are magazines that publish short stories so I'll look into that!
