Hello Menders!
Apparently “Underconsumption Core” is a trend/aesthetic now.
To me, it just sounds like a Tuesday, but I’ll take having been ahead of my time for all my life.

Giving a Darn
Hello Menders!
Archangel Beth, over at Bluesky, showed us a gadget called a speedweve-style darning loom. She uses it to patch up jeans, jackets, and other clothes.
Her posts are visible for logged-in people only, but it’s worth a click to log in so you can pop over and see some more of her project pictures, and links to sites she recommends to buy one from.
I don’t have one of these, but it looks like the thread handling parts work somewhat like a loop-de-loom, which I do have; so, now I’m wondering how hard it would be to modify that into that.
