Now we're all going to have more time on our hands, what hobbies do you fancy?

(Lighthearted)

With so many recent victories to celebrate eg

  1. Women's rugby and swimming
  2. Allison's case
  3. Maya's case
  4. The government's commitment to the Spousal Exit Clause
  5. End to plans for Self ID
  6. Todays great news about the care of trans identifying young people

What hobbies do we all fancy now we're going to have a bit more time on our hands? I've always fancied having a go at calligraphy.

I'd also like to breed labradors but realistically don't have the room.

Well done vipers. We did this FlowersGinGlitterball

Maybe a series of books for children, particularly girls, on how to fucking organise and overthrow and make waves!

Planning to sort out my photos. Get them all printed off and put into albums.

Also maybe patchwork quilts.

I have garden, an actual garden which has a lot of potential but is currently sadly neglected. I have ideas of rescue chickens too…

Also I think I’d like to join a choir.🤔

Love this thread. Still a lot to be done in Scotland sadly. And another case to watch is that of James Esses.

I am going to eventually spend more time on creative writing
Maybe you could get a job at Pink News?

I am going to eventually spend more time on creative writing and less time on formal communications with Government Departments pointing out they have misstated the Equality Act 2010 again.

My dream is that one day I might be able to read 'Vogue' again without having to flip past the Paris Lees articles.

Oh and I missed Penny Mordaunt off my list of recent victories.

I think that the current onslaught on the rights of women and girls (under the pretend label 'progressive') shows we can never take our eye off the ball again.

I think you're right, and the world's Labrador population will remain lower as a result but it doesn't hurt to dream.

I must admit (although I love dogs too) that I'd go for cats. Surrounded by fluffy plump kittens.

I get this and I think I'm overawed by the amount of work that remains to be done.

Shall I indulge in the MN cliché of the hobby being so niche that it would be outing to reveal it?

It's always cycling

I ate that a huge amount of work is still to be done BUT I'm looking at learning stained glass art as a reward for sticking to my GC guns for the last 6 years.

That would be lovely.

I am still looking at Sarah who is suing Brighton’s Rape Crisis Centre Survivors’ Network, hoping this goes well.

Whilst the above is fantastic, we really need to highlight the plight of female prisoners who are locked up in mixed sex prisons. After that I’m after a green house & some seed cultivation.

What do you fancy growing?
