RE: Random Spiel, Disconnecting A Small Piece of the Art Hobby

I feel the same saying "I'm a teacher" - there's a whole set of judgements there, and similiarly, our time is thieved and we're blamed for everything arguably going 'wrong' in the students lives (by society, students, and parents). I'd rather say I was a freaking housewife. Hell, I'd rather BE a housewife.

It's always hard being trapped in that busy loop. Certainly teachers say a lot of 'no' to social engagements because of the demands of their work.

I'm a fan of scheduling too - I 'bulk' write - saves my sanity and gives me a few days off platform. It's nice coming back and interacting with people. I still don't know when I'd quit that - I think I've realised it has to be all or nothing - a complete powerdown - disappearing - but even when I've started that I've lasted like two days and feel drawn back here. I'm gutted every time someone entirely quits.

It's weird being punished for wanting something natural like having money to spend time with other things and yet we work for money to have more money mindset and then maybe more time for important things later. I found the scheduled posting efficient for time as it lets me think about other things like comment more or curate more on the sidelines. Hive can be like that when you are invested with the people in it, even when I'm not logged in on site, I just check over discord out of habit just to see what's up with everyone. That's why there's more to this platform than just money and yet money somehow finds a way to get into our social interactions which creates an interesting dynamic.
