  • Years back i made a drop spindle from a wooden dowl i carved by hand to have a simple hook at the top, a stainless steel sink strainer for the weight, and some two part epoxy. It still holds strong to this day. I also built a spinning wheel from wooden toy blocks, a bicycle wheel, and coat hangers. My wife bought me a beautiful spinning wheel a few years later. I need to get it back out and use it.

    Wool is nice but if you can get alpaca you’re gonna love it.

    My hands hurt too much to effectively knot or crochet anything unfortunately


  • Printing images of famous peoples faces and putting them in mason jara filled with mineral oil is something.

    Collecting dirt from places you visit (if legally allowed, like, not state parks) and keeping it sorted and labeled.

    Making wreathes out of sticks that fall in your yard and putting flowers from weeds into it and leaving them at random doors in the neighborhood with a note that says “for your protection”

    I have houseplants, a fish tank, and i like to cook.

    You pick something you enjoy and turn it into a hobby.

    Personal rules: NEVER MONETIZE YOUR HOBBY ITS NOT A JOBBY















  • SAME. Relay for reddonk stopped working, needed updating, and came back with an unavoidable subscription model suggesting i should pay 5.99/mo to continue “enjoying” reddit at my pace. Some people probably would, “oh, what’s that one banana a month”? I don’t sign in, thus I don’t post, comment, vote, reward. This is just me being charged to lurk on a website that forked in ungodly amounts of profit over a reward system they trash canned. Reasonably so because they didn’t really reward the user as much as it was just micropaymemts to reddit, and people were noticing. Instead we are “rewarding all 3rd party users by letting them pay to use our content”.

    Mind you this is on top of reddit recent announcing that they will no longer give you the option to not be tracked, instead replacing it with “tires of ads you can opt out from”
