@ShadowJonathan@tech.lgbt Brokin house? No priblim we’ll fix it!

@ShadowJonathan This is true.

@ShadowJonathan@tech.lgbt This SO, SO much. I tell people often about the need to constantly balance the desire to do productive things that help people with the need to have money to live. The world would be so much better if those things were better aligned.

@ShadowJonathan of o had me a good chainsaw and trailer sized chipper the trees around me would be gorgeous and the trails would always be freshly mulched. Love doing it but there wasn’t any money in it.

Walking out of the bathroom at a house party and going up to the host to say "you know how the handle on your toilet jiggled a bit and needed to be held in just the right way to flush? It's fixed now." is one of my favorite things.

Absolutely. This would be my ideal economy.

@ShadowJonathan I 100% would go door to door updating OpenStreetMap fulltime if I could afford to, socioeconomically.
This obsession spawned out of maps not updating fast enough in Portland 20 years ago to reliably run a courier service and kinda getting screwed by that, ultimately leading me to learn about and start contributing to OpenStreetMap just to have accurate navigation in a city that was changing the street grid daily.

There's a very good reason why Republicans attack the non-conformists, be they the unmarried woman, LGBTQ, non-Christian, POC, or immigrants...
... to build a whites-only ethnostate that serves solely the greed of billionaires, they need to cull the different & encourage eugenics movements.

@ShadowJonathan this is so fucking true. Source: am one of those freaks

@AnachronistJohn @ShadowJonathan This reminds me of David Graeber's Bullshit Jobs theory. Jobs which are useful (shit jobs) don't get paid because the people doing them are supposed to live on the warm glow of doing actually useful things with their lives. Meanwhile the jobs with pay don't help anyone and don't need to exist (i.e. are bullshit jobs)

@rachel I love how you specified non printer tech
@ShadowJonathan Yes, I am such a person!
I would love to build things to fix little issues people keep having, that aren't worth mass-producing, so never get made.
In addition, I would love having a little space in my community, where people come to get their stuff fixed or learn how to do it themselves. I'd love to teach all sorts of things, useful or not.
Bikes, shelves, woodwork, electronics, software, ... -
@ShadowJonathan the trains would be so clean, efficient, and numerous that people would actually enjoy using public transit!

@ShadowJonathan
I'd love to bounce around like a roomba and fix things as I went
