one of my favorite things on social media is when people nerd the heck out about hobbies I don't know anything about.

I have a friend on instagram who's super into Breyer horses and like, I know fuck-all about either real horses or plastic ones but she does these explainers about the hobby that are always a delight to read

Post about your hobbies. It's okay to take up space. Delight somebody with details.

@Annalee same. Never would have imagined having an interest in #dollhouse #miniatures before stumbling across some really neat ones here. There was a kick-ass exhibit at the Sackler gallery featuring an Frances Glessner Lee’s depiction of real life murder scenes in dollhouses, but I was there for the crime more than anything else. Now I like seeing tiny cozy kitchens even if they aren’t covered in blood.

@Annalee there’s an errant “an” in my post and it’s too late for me to edit it

@aprilm @Annalee loved miniatures as a kid, but moved away from them (dare I say I got too big for them)…but over the past few years my interest has resurfaced and now I’m combining my interest in home decorating with making miniature furniture/rooms. There are some amazing things out there!

@Jwaddy7 @aprilm @Annalee Not that I even have one myself, but the 3d printers can be used to make some pretty great custom items for this sort of thing.

@aprilm @Annalee @PanicButton I think that if I had a 3d printer I would move from hobby into straight up addiction…however, imagine what I could do 😳

@PanicButton @Annalee @aprilm As it is…I do my best to try and make as much as I can, rather than buy it because 1) it’s very rewarding and 2) $$$
