Sometime around the 2020 era, we lost the right to be mediocre at things we love.
No longer can you just bake bread...you must start a sourdough side hustle lol. Wanna stay fit and go jogging or running? Nah, you gotta optimize your biometrics for a marathon. What my point is that every hobby has been enshittified and gentrified into a brand opportunity.
This strange infatuation with optimization culture is killing the human spirit.
So this new year, starting tomorrow, one of my resolutions is to do something bad but fun. Maybe I write a terrible poem. I like to draw and paint, so perhaps I will draw a horse that looks like a table or sing off-key in the showers or in front of my loved ones. The algorithm driving the mainstream social media wants me to be a polished product, but my humanity lives in these messy, unoptimized, cringe-inducing joyful failures.
I will try to reclaim the right to be an amateur. Will you join me?

Millennial man breaks down his generation's inherently unique midlife crisis solution
https://fed.brid.gy/r/https://www.upworthy.com/millennial-midlife-crisis-solution
One of my lucky remaining pre-tariff purchases. I envisioned working on this in the Spring, but since I let my little choose what project I work on next, joke's on me.
It's a good distraction from the dumpster fire of world affairs & my own nauseated exhaustion. I can beautify my part of the world, one stitch at a time. It has a technique I've never tried before; equal parts excited & nervous.

By Emma Siossian
Metal detectorist Dale Oldham at first thought he had found a rusted Australian coin, until an online search revealed it was something much older and far more exotic.

So I now collect stamps :3 and now my sister does too. I got a bag of like 500 for christmas which I've still not sorted through.
I was gonna go to an antiques place today to buy some but it was closed. Luckily I found a charity shop that sold a few pages of an album someone donated.
I brought two pages (stamps on both sides) and Princess Diana ones. About £13 altogether.
I'm tryna build topical collections.

I don't collect anything. Dust, maybe.
I feel like I'm a bad nerd. 😂
I accumulate some things (PDFs, dice, paintbrushes), but accumulating isn't really _collecting._
Maybe I should pick a thing to collect. Hm.
Early 20th century matchbooks or something. I dunno. Something small. I don't have much space.
I collected comics as a kid. At one point I considered the classics like coins or stamps, but never committed. I used to collect GM screens.
What do you collect?
Esta tarde hemos ido mi chico y yo a un taller floral de centros de mesa que me regalaron por mi cumple. Evidentemente (masculinidad frágil), éramos los únicos hombres, las otras 4 (y la florista), mujeres.
Al principio pensé que me iba a quedar un churro, pero luego bien bonito! Mañana os enseño foto que pondré el mantel bonito y tal.

While they were installing the natural gas pipe, they moved it a bit and lost signal couple days ago. I fixed it the same day, yet needed a better singal for some channels.
Got my ass on terrace this morning, and played around a bit until I got a better singal.
Here are some photos from the satellite finder, with some TP's and the results.
Been up for hours. Everyone else still asleep. XMas was more fun when we had young children. Bah. Adults staying in bed all morning? They ruins it, stupid hobbitses… 😂
Anyway. Planning paint jobs for the DarkWater heroes to use the time. Going to experiment mixing basecoats, speedpaints, and dry brushing just to hit #tabletop ready.
Hope everyone else is having a fun day! And drinking enough coffee.

As a kid, I enjoyed LEGO. When my daughter was born, I started putting LEGO trains around the Christmas Tree. Every year I would add a little more. It's starting to get out of control now...

Watching camera reviews was a bad idea.
