What are some skills that can be turned into hobbies that would be good for a Leftist to know? (hexbear.net)

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

Also, strength and conditioning, and a little bit of parkour. Nothing fancy like flips and spins, but being able to get up or over or down from a fence or wall or pole or tree is very useful. Being able to do a few pull-ups is a good baseline for practical fitness, along with being able to run a 7-minute mile. Body-weight exercises are all you really need; no fancy equipment is necessary if you understand how to work out a muscle group.
