This one’s for that one person* who announces a new life-altering hobby approximately every quarter. Last year, it was a ceramics class paired with a brief cross-stitch stint, then spontaneously signing up for a marathon (though they’ve never once run more than a 5k), and now you’ve somehow ended up in a group chat with their new competitive pickleball league.

We’re not sure what they’re distracting themselves from, but we’re opting to trade in our mild concern for the gift of enablement, because ‘tis the season.

* If nobody is coming to mind immediately… your friends are all either a smidge boring or extremely mentally stable.
