Covid is going to nudge us towards a fat home with self-maintaining/repairing/healing capabilities. It’s not quite a producerist home but something like a consumerist-with-mods home. Semi-homemade maker movement. Or home-adapted.

had a weird thought the other day when rinsing a plastic tub for ♻️ about how our grandparents had random metal or plastic containers around bc.. they were available. it was never about frugality and how everything seems so available now but that could all be gone

Grew up around junkyard DIY (parents coming out of hippy 60s/70s craft culture) and can appreciate the ethic of scrounging and repurposing the junk.

a lot of people end up like this out of necessity from growing up in scarcity. my mom (chinese inmigrant) is a resourceful tinkerer and has an intuitive sense for fixing things, but wouldn’t necessarily identify with “maker culture”
