Goddammit. The simulators noticed I’m in a diy/home improvement mood and are sending extra repair jobs my way. Rip suddenly appeared in the armrest of my nice 10y old Haworth chair.

Superglue plus ratchet strap. Not great. Awkward trying to get it right. I might paint the glue seam golden and call this my first kintsugi

Do not tempt the log-level gremlin gods of cracks and frays. Do all your repair work on the dl. Do not tweet about it unless the likelihood of helpful suggestions exceeds that of gremlin attention. The universe is in a delicate balance between the platonic angels and gremlin gods

Why would I do that? I’m going in the other direction. Junkyard reuse, repurpose. Opposite of from-scratch aesthetics.

There is something very satisfying about finding a use for something that would otherwise go to the landfill
