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.

This is probably a very good time to become a DIY maintenance, junkyard connoisseur, scavenger-maker, jury-rigger type person. I think there’s a different kind of maker movement brewing. One grounded in junk and entropy rather than from scratch building, 3d printing etc

Ever watch the show “Hillbilly Blood” ? Lots of re-engineered junk. I loved that show!

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”
