Sometime around the 2020 era, we lost the right to be mediocre at things we love.
No longer can you just bake bread...you must start a sourdough side hustle lol. Wanna stay fit and go jogging or running? Nah, you gotta optimize your biometrics for a marathon. What my point is that every hobby has been enshittified and gentrified into a brand opportunity.
This strange infatuation with optimization culture is killing the human spirit.
So this new year, starting tomorrow, one of my resolutions is to do something bad but fun. Maybe I write a terrible poem. I like to draw and paint, so perhaps I will draw a horse that looks like a table or sing off-key in the showers or in front of my loved ones. The algorithm driving the mainstream social media wants me to be a polished product, but my humanity lives in these messy, unoptimized, cringe-inducing joyful failures.
I will try to reclaim the right to be an amateur. Will you join me?

Because as Corbyn warned: once these spaces are lost, they’re rarely replaced"

Hi, my name is Dan and I use They/He pronouns.
By day I'm a Platform Security Engineer, with a focus on container & cloud security, tooling and automation.
The rest of the time, I enjoy playing and (more often) GMing #DnD 5e, #photography (generally wildlife and landscape), good #coffee, cooking and #gardening. I'd love to learn machining, blacksmithing and welding.
I'm very politically left, occasionally post about #ADHD & other #mentalhealth stuff.
Nice to meet you! #introduction
