This episode is a pretty major rant, but it's also of utmost importance to me. I want people to understand that it is not ok to tell another person that what they do is a "hobby." The word is inherently dismissive, diminishing, and often insulting. I've observed many people throwing the word around without much awareness, and I believe it's time to pay attention to how this word is used. Are you using the word as in insult? Do you mean to diminish the life's work of a person? Really, I loathe the word. If you want to find out more, or if perhaps you know how I feel and you want to feel validated, please listen to this episode.
