Know Thy Hobbies: Fairy Gaymothers Sorta

In this episode of Fairy Gaymothers Sorta, Kat and Hunter enrol in another instalment of their extremely rigorous (and completely self-appointed) curriculum: Know Thy Hobbies. Yes girls and gays, we’re getting introspective… but like, fun about it. This week’s syllabus tackles the age-old question plaguing our generation: do we actually have hobbies, or are we just scrolling with conviction? First on the agenda, Kat and Hunter report back with their recurring fieldwork segments: The Hinge Cringe and Crash / Bit / Bang. Hunter attempts to defend her matchmaking abilities (the evidence scarce), while Kat explains her deeply held philosophy of joy by proxy, specifically through the time-honoured practice of watching SMOSH videos like they’re prestige television. From there, we enter the main lecture: hobbies. Hunter and Kat unpack their own personal hobbies, the mysterious state of Gen Z hobbies as a whole, and why so many of us feel like we’re supposed to have enriching personal interests but instead just have… screen time reports. Does scrolling count as a hobby? Are we doomed to live hobbyless lives? It’s up to us to investigate. Plus, a surprisingly earnest exploration of something radical in the year of our lord 2026: being alone. What happens when you actually spend time with yourself? Is solitude scary, powerful, healing, or all three? Kat and Hunter discuss the quiet art of getting to know yourself, and why it might be the most important hobby of all. It’s hobbies. It’s existential. It’s extremely unserious self-improvement. 🧚‍♀️📓 Mahayosnand, P. P., & Sabra, S. M. (2024).
