with learning the history of clothing, the more I get a rock in my shoe about manufacturing. like i think a lot about how the way out of capitalism is to go back to an artisan model of society. because things that are well made by hand last so much longer, and it allows for more artistic expression and the evolution of culture.

this is not me trying to romanticize the past or anything, or that automation and manufacturing is all bad, but when one of the things killing the planet is overconsumption and cheaply produced items, then I start to think a lot about how corporations as a whole shouldn't exist and be okay with having less stuff.
