I would encourage more than 2 hobbies. It can be very difficult to feel satisfied if for some reason you can’t engage in one of your hobbies (I speak from experience).

If it gives you an idea of how I am, I can play it takes two and trine and I cannot play overcooked.

I love split fiction (even if we are currently stuck), and really enjoyed it takes two. Do you know of other co-op games that can support a serious gamer and someone who is terrible at gaming (I’m the one who is terrible at gaming)?

I have had a crow visiting my balcony. I heard that cat food is somewhat more balanced that just peanuts, and since I have cats it was an easy switch. Are there other things I could offer to make visits more likely while not giving it avian diabetes?

Paying for that Mar a Lago face.

god I love the “I’ve had spicier tamales” line.

Maybe not letters to your grandma, but to send out 1000 “your benefits have changed” in 600 subtly different ways.

It’s definitely a mix. I’m not a stylish person, but I find I get the most compliments when I’m wearing things I love.

“Refers to the piece of fabric rather than the zipper itself”?

I have a scrap blanket that I pull out when I’m working to keep cats off the current project. They love everything I make.

TBF, my (work) computer relentlessly tries to hide it. Why do things go to different files based on where I download from?

Codeword/phrase

As a vegan, my cat never wants part of my dinner.

I did specifically like the MC for Nettle and Bone because while she was plucky heroine, she was also like … pragmatic middle aged woman which I like and don’t feel is quite so common.

Edit to add: I went ahead and looked it up. She’s maybe not quite middle aged being 30, but she feels at least more mature than lots of MCs.

I like and admire visual arts. I wanted to try to be able to do the thing. I have a strong imagination and extremely good visualization skills, so I wanted to be able to take things from my minds eye to reality.

I have found much of my art/creative outlet in dancing and crafting.

I have a bit of dyslexia/dyscalculia so writing numbers from step to step often results in errors. I also had a bad teacher in 6th and 7th grade so I ended up with a lot of stress/shame which means I have a pretty significant gap in my understanding of concepts that has carried through every step of math since then.

I have always felt that I’m not good at art (the practice I did got me not very far), and I’ve recently had reason to make little collages. One thing that I’ve done is uploaded pictures to Canva and traced them so I had something resembling recognizable images (my dog, me in a kayak). I don’t think tracing is making an art, AI is definitely not making an art.

I really enjoy T. Kingfisher in general though most of her horror books don’t effect me that much. That said I read The Hollow Places not too long ago and I was uneasy and spooked the whole time I was reading it.

I just saw someone with an all I and a 1 plate. I mentioned the xkcd to my wife, but glat to have the reference handy now.

I partner dance and I joke that I’m graceful as long as I have on dance shoes. Off the dance floor I’m always bumping into things, knocking stuff over, just generally klutzy seeming. On the dance floor I’m able to navigate the crowd and prevent collisions.
