For example, I play the drums and tend to think of myself as a drummer. Do you love games, consider yourself a gamer? Are you a chef, a bodybuilder, maybe an artist? What is it that you love to do?
Are we all just too proud to start identifying first and foremost as a masturbator?
I’m a weed farmer for sure. It’s a fun hobby and at the end, you get to get baked!
I have a few friends that grow weed, I’ve heard it’s super rewarding, and you get tons of flower to smoke! Nice choice, I’m glad you’re having fun with it 😉
It’s so sweet,dude, and I’m fortunate enough that the government encouraged me to grow it instead of doing some petty shit like jailing me over a plant
Video games are so much more my hobby then anything else, any other one feels kind of fake. Unfortunately calling myself a gamer is basically a red flag, so i avoid it at all costs
Red flag for what?
Kite flyer, kite maker.
I’ve been flying multi-line, controllable sport kites for over half of my life. I attend kite festivals very frequently and occasionally travel throughout the US or internationally for kite festivals.
About 6 years ago, I started building my own sport kites. Now days, I have a workshop with 5 sewing machines, 2 3d printers, and other equipment, all of it revolving around kite making.
I can’t really imagine my life without kites involved.
Neat! With a workshop like that is it your job too or does it remain hobby/side pursuit.
I know a few people who have setup workspace for fishing and fishing related thing (lures, rods, etc) but still do it on the side.
It’s still a side pursuit. I have a full time job as a software engineer. I do sell the kites I make on occasion, but I have no intention of making it a proper source of income.
I’m a performing artist. I do fire, sideshow, and burlesque.
Oh awesome, that sounds super neat! If you have the time and energy at some point I’d love to hear more. Especially about what you do with fire, I’m intrigued 😁
Nowadays mostly fire eating. It’s hard to do big things where I live but I also spin fire (staff, swords) and build custom props, like an exploding flail. I sell flaming nipple tassels too, which I never intended to get into but my shop does pretty well lmao.
Years ago I adopted the identifier ‘Cascadian’ as I fit most of the stereotypes.
(Referring to those of us that live in/around the Cascade mountain range.)
I know it’s not ‘a hobby’ but being native to the PNW, it really is a lifestyle. We’re out playing in the wilderness, hunting, fishing, enjoying the rain. We smell a little like moss & dirt with a hint of patchouli. We grown our own food and prefer our animals over people most of the time. I’m about to move across the country and I have no idea what my life will be like. I spend 90% of my free time outside in wilderness where most of my ‘hobbies’ take place.

I just wanna get high. Skydiving, paramotoring, base…
Ahh… So that’s why your face is red.
Wood. I fancy myself a carpenter, and I’m officially allowed to, that was the trade I originally learned - and never worked an hour later as one. But when my house would burn, I’d rescue my Japanese tools first. Then my family. Don’t tell them…
“Jack of all” I had a lot of jobs in my teens to my mid 20s. Got married, had a son and divorced in 5 years. Started climbing towers in 2000 and haven’t looked back. But all the jobs I had before and all of the different things that come along with communication towers…I know a little about a lot.
Edit: I guess that I should have read the rest before commenting. But it is kind of the same. I like art, animals, nature, we have a few out of the ordinary pets, I like bladed weapons, lock sport, leather work, archery. So, yah, Jack of all.
I’m a cyclist and I wouldn’t really use a noun for it but I am very involved in a bdsm community and it does impact my self perception
So during the day you like a well lubed chain and at night you like to get well lubed with chains?
What can I say, I like to make my ass sore in a variety of ways
Honestly that’s awesome that you have a community that works for you!
Totally no obligation or expectation, but I wanna plug c/[email protected] here, we’d love more contributions from rad kinksters 💜
Honest advice, as someone who doesn’t really consume that much porn on here, I recommend that if you want more of us real kinksters a bdsmcommunity type community may draw us better. I checked it out over there and it looked like a question surrounded by porn, which tends to leave folks assuming it’s a porn community not a discussion community
We’re working on getting more non porn content, it just came under new management so it’s a recent development. We wanna expand and get conversation and community going. I get its not there yet, but thanks for taking the time to check it out! I super appreciate it 💜
Yeah I still think that separating the two will be good for both’s health (it’s basically the selfie problem of moderating small spaces), but I’m glad you’re building something of it here and I’ll try to keep an eye on it. And feel free to message or link or however you summon people on lemmy me when a leatherdyke’s opinion is needed lol. I do enjoy dispelling people’s ideas of what actual bdsm is like, especially between people who actually know what we’re doing.
Also I know what I just said, but I just recognized your username and want to say that I’ve appreciated seeing your posts around. In addition to you being quite attractive, post op trans women posting nudes outside of recovery pics (which always end right about when you’re healed enough to get distracted) is not super common and can go a huge way to destigmatizing our bodies and dispelling misconceptions.
I’m a cat lady if my cats count as a hobby (and I count them as a hobby). Also I play a lot of video games but have been socialized not to call myself a gamer because of gatekeepers.
Sounds like a gamer girl to me 🤷
Bass player. It’s just what I do.
None of my hobbies overwhelm my identity to the point of being a lifestyle. I switch modes in and out of them and when I’m “on” I am 100% into them, but by default I’m just a regular type dude.
Versatility and an ability to step back even from a deeply held hobby are important things.
Not sure if you’re meming, but this post deserves a like.
My current interests are yoga, succulents, reading and painting but having adhd makes this list ever changing. I think yoga has stuck the most, seventeen years and counting, but I don’t think of myself as a yogi.
