From the title i think we already have an idea about where this post will lead to right ?
Learning as a hobby is the best thing ever, no matter what you learn (from the different type of stones to how to build a successful business) it will always interesting to bring it to the table while talking with your friends or even be able to break the ice with strangers.
To be able to make it a two birds one stone hit, we could mainly focus on what could hell us “survive“ on a daily basis.
For exemple :
- Financial education: learning how to budget, what to prioritise, the 24h hour rule before buying something, is it a need or a want, etc …
- History : deep dive in the different paths human history is an interesting thing and if you analyse it enough you could even find “tips” that helps you in your day to day life — Buddha : genuine peace and happiness in simple life — Gandhi : how to deal with conflicts by staying calm — Mandela : understanding is better than revenge — Fall of the Berlin wall : perseverance leads to transformation etc …
- Cultures in different countries : learn from other countries ‘ culture just like Japan and how they have a punctuality culture / discipline and routine etc …
- Learning a skill : for exemple cooking but make it more fun, why japan use rise ? What was its signification in their history/culture, its nutrition value, how to make at least 10 dishes with rise etc …
- Fashion : yes we can learn a “survival“ skill from fashion just like why such piece was created and how, learning to fix your ripped pieces as a form of anti consumerism
And much more to learn ... :)

I’ve learned almost everything I know from a book (checking out library books for my hobbies) but also YouTube and friends.books and friends are nice when I feel simply overwhelmed with how much information exists on the internet about how to do literally anyrhing
YouTube can help you with sillypractical skills… learning how to unjam my lock, unclog my drains, etc etc
For other skills, befriend older ppl or friends that “have their shit together”
Most friends are happy to teach you something or even walk alongside you while you do taxes, apartment hunt, or cook a steak :) i love when my friends teach me stuff
And b patient with yourself. You can’t know everything and you’re not gonna learn it all overnight. Take small steps and stay learnin 🫡

My aunt has been taking Italina classes for a couple of years, and a few months ago we started to have group lessons among the family every thursday, where she teaches introductory Italian based on her classes curriculum.
It's going pretty well, especially because we make a commitment together, but have no preassure in "doing well". Also it's a nice way to regularly keep in touch
If you have a skill to share and time to spare teach your friends and family! learning in group and for free is the best of both worlds.

Half of what ends up in landfills is still 100% functional. Need something? Go scavenging with a friend before you go to walmart. Fuck consumerism, become a scavenger today!

If you’ve ever felt trapped in a small town, had to drop out and come home, or worked a shitty job while living with your parents, this game is perfect.
I’ve never seen a piece of media that better captures what it’s like to be part of a messy, goofy, queer, working class friend group.
You play a recent drop out, Mae, who wakes up at 4 pm to wander around her hometown and hang out with her friends. There’s a mystery too, but I won’t go into that here.
The design is simple and beautiful. The game pays tribute to the history of unions, mining towns, and working class folks in the rust belt. It tackles the questions of “is there a god?” and “if so, do they care?” in such complex and earnest ways.
It touches on death, mental health, abuse, money problems. The characters are genuinely flawed and struggle with very real things. They’re also little talking animals. Did I mention this game is mostly jokes?
There’s a lot to be found if you go home and pay attention.

Dumpster on 8th ave & 18 st
- sick 70s wicker chair
- old archer radio
- 3 records (dolly, stevie wonder, elton)
- “old farms: an illustrated guide”
- picnic basket
- table tray (not pictured)
My friend found: way more records and books, different chair, typewriter!
They were emptying the apt of an old lady who died. Sad to see someone’s life on the curb. At least we could save some things
