"Don't make doing the thing you love to do into your job" is such a weird piece of conventional wisdom. It'd be great if people could just take the next step of understanding it as a pretty powerful condemnation of labor under capitalism.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say we'd pretty much all love to do the thing we love to do on the regular, rather than just trying to squeeze in time for it on weekends. I don't want to get all Bob Black about it, but damn, I want to live in that world. That would be an objectively better world. Like, by definition. As opposed to living in fear of losing jobs that we usually don't actually like much anyway.

Anyways, I'm tipsy. More later.
