Mine is mapping. I am a big OpenStreetMap contributor and I have mapped many towns near me that were previously completely unmapped.

I've been pretty into four things lately:
- Healthy cooking, from scratch as much as possible. I got into a rut trying to maximize protein intake, so now I'm trying to find different recipes that don't compromise on macros but still offer variety in flavors and textures and won't bother my IBS.
- Nail polish and nail art. I have probably about 300 polishes at this point, which sounds like a lot to most people, but it's a tiny collection compared to some I've seen! Last year I got really into nail stamping, which lets you create neat little designs, and you can get really creative with it.
- Working out. I recently moved, and designed a power rack for my basement which is pretty fully featured. My goal was to be able to do all the exercises I could do at my previous fitness club (within reason - no way I'm buying a tank sled and a billion 45 lb plates!). I'm pretty happy with how it turned out, and so is my husband, which I'm glad about because he's a tall dude and working around the low-ish basement ceiling was a challenge.
- Indie makeup! Holy Moses I love makeup, and indie brands are killing it. My most recent favorite palette is the Cosmic Brushes Winter Wonderland palette (which came out last year, but is new in my collection). Just look at her!:
Gorgeous, right? No way I'm ever going back to boring neutrals.
Are there any good nail art or makeup communities on the fediverse yet? I love seeing how creative people get with these art forms.
Those iridescent shadows! The teal/purple shift is so pretty!
I wish! Every now and again I search "polish" and "lacquer" hoping a new community will have been made, but so far no luck, though it's been maybe a month since I checked. I keep trying to talk myself into starting one, but I don't know if I have the patience for modding.

Ugh, same. I want to see all the pretty nerds showing off their pretty skills here but most days my brain won't even type words coherently, I would be an utterly useless mod.
We need one of those hyper energetic t-girls full of all that post puberty energy and optimism, to swoop in and be queen mod of all the pretties of the fediverse for us. I really miss having all that energy, haha.
Yessss I would be so down for that!
