my advice to everyone is just make something analog, doesn't matter what, just create something new with your hands and brain doesn't need to be inspired, doesn't need to be good even- just making something flips switches in your brain and makes life better

I knocked together a ridiculously lopsided garden prop out of mismatched scrap wood and immediately felt much better.

I realized after shifting into woodworking, birding and gardening in my fifties that simple endeavors like these are great because you aren't dependent on anyone but yourself to bring joy

I shoot, process and scan film. I’m not great at any of it, but it’s great to just put on a great record and go through the process.

Completely agreed—I find painting and mixed media to be immensely rewarding. Making one’s own charcoal and paper is a special kind of artistic intimacy.

Garden, collage, jam. Also ice cream. These things keep me together.

I’ve been painting and learning bass and it’s so good. I had been dealing with anhedonia since 2020 and I finally feel normal again. And we have a group that makes short movies and that’s really fun too

Just finished hand sanding a small cast iron skillet. The bottom was abysmal from the factory, and I wasn't about to work on a good seasoning for that. About eight hours of work, but I could see I'd accomplished something, and that I'd worked out frustrations too. Time for Crisco and a hot oven.

I spent about 10 hours over the last two days writing a TTRPG system from scratch because I couldn't find one that'd work for a game I wanted to run without so much homebrew that writing my own would be the same amount of work for better results.

If you're making something analog. shouldn't it be turning dials in your head rather than flipping switches? [ducks]

it's painting and gardening for me, i've gone dormant on pottery since covid but i'll get back to it too, sooner or later. i'm not very good at any of them but each one makes me feel connected to my body, the living earth, and my tools and materials 😌
