What are you currently passionate about it interested in? What are some cool things about that thing, or interesting stuff that you’ve learned?
To start things off, I’ve recently gotten back into Legos for the first time since I was a child and dragged my SO in with me. We’ve been building sets together, posing them, and decorating my apartment with some of them like the autumn center piece and bonsai tree. I’m also starting to show them how you can mix things together or go off script, changing and customizing a set to fit your own needs or tastes. It’s been really fun and I’d recommend it if you are looking for something to do with someone else.
I’ve also gotten into professional wrestling for the first time and been having a blast. My SO used to watch WWE/WWF as a kid and I asked them to watch a pay per view with me and it was like they got ripped back in time, getting super hype and cheering on the people they wanted to win. We’ve now started watching AEW and it’s been really fun when they point out the people that they recognize from when they were a kid and what they think of them.
I have a few side projects stemming from it but I am most passionate about falconry. Once you start really getting into it it’s pretty much all consuming. It’s not an exaggeration to say that falconry is one of my top considerations when making life decisions. Transportation - have a truck for ease of cleaning bed, housing - bought a house with a big yard for a mews (and no hoa), job - flexible hours and cool boss means I can fly them during lunch (house also near job), family - I can manage one baby but 2 would severely hinder me (among other reasons, like money and first one didn’t sleep for shit and still doesn’t).
Right now I’m getting a server ready for bird video storage, security cameras, and to host a lemmy server for falconry as I didn’t see one, and almost done building a mews for my wife. I love it.
That sounds super dope, what kind of birds do you raise?
Right now I have a male and a female harris hawk that I fly together, we catch rabbits:
And my wife has an aplomado falcon, they catch other birds:
Aww, they are adorable!
