hobbies are productive

thinking about that tweet that said something like “find hobbies outside media consumption” and i disagree!! whenever i watch a movie or read a book it feels like a productive way to expand my mind! even if i watch something shitty i can have fun and critique it at the same time. seeing art (good and bad) as merely “content” is a mindless consumer take.

EVERYONE SHOULD OWN A CAMERA

Even if it's just a kids one from Amazon (I have a $19 one, horrible quality but captures life just great :) I went to a concert last night and came to the very upsetting realization that i forgot my camera :( I came up with the idea to buy another one now since I'm getting good use of the one I have. I have a TON of creative hobbies, and it gets overwhelming to invest so much into each craft (financially and time wise, considering the more you invest the more you feel pressured to have to focus on that hobby). Even as a creative (with a very cluttered work space), you don't have to have the toppest of notches for every hobby you partake in. Owning a camera and taking pictures often should be a hobby for anyone, creative or not. Don't be afraid to start from small! A bit extra rambling since I'm very high :) •at the concert, we were given physical media of ticket stubs, even though everything was handled digitally, making me even more aware of the sentiment I love of how important physical media is •lately, I've been wanting to get more into leaving something behind everywhere I go, kind of an exchange to the earth (collect via camera, place something in return via tagging, stickers, notes, etc). •as someone who (a) has too many hobbies to handle time wise (b) is never consistent with sharing on social media, I try to box myself in a bit as to not be too overwhelmed with all my hobbies, constantly trying to get myself to have "priority" hobbies. I am trying to turn this off and become more consistent so that I can build communities. My lifelong goal is to build a community of artists and create more spaces for them. I'm trying to be less shy, so that people know that I'm over here and I'm bringing more people like them!

I intentionally don’t

A side hustle, to me, is something monetized or you intend to monetize. And that puts it in danger of becoming joyless. I have hobbies. Mainly writing and photography. The fulfillment is in their practice.

being less preoccuppied with authenticity

i don't think there's something more authentic about this app than there is about, say, twitter - i be talking some shit on there and it's all pretty "authentic". i'm more concerned with how i come across online because that has always been the case since, like, biblical times (see: chatrooms in 1999). my opinion on this is that most of us will never be our fully authentic selves in any form of consumable media whether that's through an app or through our art. "raw, unfiltered, authentic" means nothing to me, i fear. recommending a piece of media (music, film, tv, book, podcast) clues your audience into what you may be like: i can filter out the "bad" music i listen to, or the books i don't want anyone to know i've read and enjoyed and just recommend things that i believe the majority here would appreciate because they too have the little bug in their brain that tells them this is something to be enjoyed shamelessly while others are not. i'm not going to come on here and recommend the marvel movie - i'll recommend some obscure italian neorealism film, because that's what i think will get me more attention here. but maybe i'm alone on this.

Dinner after a movie

i know it’s dinner and a movie but I like going to earlier screenings - then i have the time to debrief and analyse while the movie’s still warm and fresh in my head during dinner or drinks.

Being curious

Aren’t you? How can anyone not be? I think it’s my favourite trait - i’m so curious all the time i can’t NOT find out everything i can about a subject even if i only keep a little of the information in my brain forever. how does one not have that little bug in them?
