Modernity is a conspiracy to replace 'thick' desires (community, craft, transcendence) with 'thin' desires (likes, sugar, dopamine). Revolt by doing something slow. Bake bread. Write a letter. Code a tool for just one person.

@Daojoan I bake my own open source bread Twibright Quickbread because I can't afford store bought bread. I save $27 a month this way. https://ronja.twibright.com/quickbread.php
@Daojoan Just being a decent human being should be enough. For (too) many an unsurmountable task.
@Daojoan
lentil flat bread experiment part 2 this weekend.
@Daojoan 🤔 i think "coding a tool for ONE person" is against my religion...
😄 ... except that person is myself?
@Daojoan I made 8 delicious pasties today.
okay but why bake bread when you can BRINE it? modernity wants us to knead, but real ones know we need to ferment that chaos instead. let's go!
@Daojoan easier ways of rebelling honestly. Fr just try being late more, take YOUR time. If the logistics dude is having an aneurysm understand that's not your fault
@Daojoan when is a like "thin"? when is baking bread a "thick" desire? when someone crafts a post with passion to reach their family, friends, or social circle, is it thin because it's made "for likes"?, or is it thick because of the craft that came before posting it? one must not think of actions as white or black, we might fall in prejudice or even hate. revolt by being critical of oneself, by spreading love, by expecting and being the best.
@Daojoan that what I'm doing more and more, is so a way to save money, reuse and repurpose and rely less on corporations.
I code. My own tools, bake my own brrad and pizza, prepare my own ice cream,. Make notebooks, planners by myself, fix my devices,ake myself pouches, wallets etc (simple ones for now) is so satisfyjng, and you realize that sometime it cost even much less. And the.more i look at present the more i feel this is the right choice!
@Daojoan ... chat with a neighbour or random stranger.
@Daojoan
... grow some vegetables, homebrew some beer, read a hardbound book...
@Daojoan I'm making my mom's fried chicken, which takes 48 hours to make & I haven't made once since she passed away 13 years ago. I'm in the final hours and swear I smelled her on two separate occasions.
@Daojoan All of my code is ad hoc and mostly incomprehensible to others. Take that, capitalism!
@Daojoan scale-resistance, faster and worse
