Picking up a hobby that doesn’t revolve around content creation and documentation. it can still involve media consumption but documentation i believe stops my creativity and my will to continue freely dead in its tracks. And for what? so others will know?

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.

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.

i don’t want to write i just want to to reflect fondly on past written works. This only gets me so far.

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.

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.

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?
