sewing is one of those skills everyone with the ability should know IMO. i’ve known too many people who just throw out perfectly servicable clothing and bedding because of tears or buttons that have fallen off and these can be fixed at home. sewing’s not hard either. 

sewing, like baking bread, is one of those basic skills that corporations have convinced people is just impossible or too expensive for the average person to do in order to manipulate people into buying things.

i’m not saying sewing is possible for everyone, but if you have motor skills fine enough to, say, replace lead in a mechanical pencil, you can learn to sew, and you can help people who can’t sew. here’s a good guide with gifs.

this is what we mean when we say civilization de-skills us to make us dependent

buddy i know for a fact people have retained these skills for most of recorded history, all of which has taken place in societies which could be called civilizations. and if you think that capitalism is the most civilized epoch of human history then you have been bamboozled big time

they should remake breaking bad but instead of making and dealing meth it’s a suburban white mom who makes soap and the same levels of violence, gore, and drama remain

Is it just me or is everyone forgetting about bi boys with this whole 20biteen thing? people are calling it wlw solidarity with 20dyketeen but y'all!!! bi boys exist and they’re valid as fuck so this lesbian sees and appreciates bi boys as well as bi girls, 20biteen is for ALL bisexuals.
