Like the title! I want to cultivate some helpful skills but do so gradually, as a hobbyist. Tempted to get into lockpicking, haha.

Extending the useful life of everyday things and learning to make your own reduces consumption directly which I would argue is anti-capitalist.

Even better if you can channel that into mutual aid via either helping to educate local comrades or using the fruits of your labor to help your fellow workers.
