for one thing when you know how to fix holes in your clothes you're not afraid to put those holes there in the first place

it's like my jazz band director always said, you need to learn the rules if you want to understand how to effectively break them

and in our extremely consumerist culture, knowing how to make things - things that last - is incredibly powerful

knitting is punk. sewing is punk. crochet is punk. rugmaking is punk. leatherworking is punk. 3D printing is punk. pottery is punk. cooking is punk. weaving is punk.

all these skills that directly improve your life and the lives of those around you? yeah that's punk as hell

I find it funny that the punk ethos is a lot of what capitalistic entrepreneurs think they are, rather than the leeches they actually are.

Repairing & building bikes is punk, recycling plastic bottles into 3d printer filament is punk!

that's so cool omg

you called

well! I would not claim that without your approval! wink
