> There’s one argument I sometimes hear that I have never understood. If we eliminated work, someone will ask, wouldn’t life be boring? What would we do if all our needs were provided for?

okay where can I get Windows 7 still

salt about fediverse community
(I'll be blunt, I feel little sense of community on the fediverse. oh it's there, but it's only if you fit a certain profile. being SERIOUS about anything is social death. but I ain't good at cute shitposts)
(this will be another question that I will have to ask three or four times before getting even one answer)

feels to me like most sewing stuff out there is either about making tiny low-effort changes or making stuff from scratch, but most of what i do is kind of in the middle - really involved resize work or like, making something new out of an old garment by more or less tearing it apart
