    It’s a technological and a physical issue. We just can’t store every bit of information plus a picture of everyone’s cat. We can’t guarantee that no information ever gets lost. We’ve also not really stored and archived every shopping list, advertising, pamphlet, silly poem, ugly drawing etc. since the time of the printing press and that’s okay.

    It might be a good idea to store and archive some written material as time passes but we want to be a bit picky about what we store. That said, I wouldn’t mind to find more shopping lists and less posh documents in museums.












  • I love corduroy! On my local farmer’s market a gypsy always has a pile of them available. There’s all kinds of brands but probably all out of the same factory - did they fall off a truck somewhere? 3 for 10EUR. I bought my first couple 20 years ago, they lasted ten years before I got too fat for them and gave them away. Now I started spending another 3 of them. When one pair gets wet outside on the farm I hang them close to the fire and dress the next pair. I bought them extra plus size and hope to get more than 10 years out of them this time!







  • I was leftie before I was techie. If you don’t know anything around tech and computers you wouldn’t know what to do. Even as a fairly tech-adjacent professional it took me quite a while.

    Then again, I only became a real leftie again after kicking all the corpos out of my computer.

    Tech used to be (and still is) obscured by heavy gatekeeping. We who understand a little more like to joke about those who don’t, and I guess we’ll have to stop that if we really want to unite the left. Don’t ridicule, explain. The person might never have had a chance to learn the concept.
