A world confined largely to domesticity is an extraordinarily dull world. Who knew. 20% domestic cozy is healing and comforting. 80% is unlivable. It’s like life in a true dictatorship. I wonder if life in dictatorships feels much less disrupted.

I mean if there’s nothing to do outside the home besides go to one bad restaurant or wander an ugly plaza pondering a Dear Leader statue, a virus doesn’t have much fun to suck out of life.

More than lower productivity at home, which I don’t give a crap about, enforced super-domesticity does a number on motivation. I’m working more than ever mostly because sights have been lowered. Ambitions more modest, shrinking with horizons to “domestic”.

My motivation pattern is mostly built around one-rep max edge (though not for actual weight training). This is like going brrrr at 10% of that.

Household is where the action is. The more I think about it, the deeper I think we don’t think enough about it. And I wonder why we don’t think about it more.

They say it is love. We say it is unwaged work. They call it frigidity. We call it absenteeism. Every miscarriage is a work accident. Neuroses, suicides, desexualization: occupational diseases of housework. Silvia Federici
