This¹ popped into my feed again, and I want to add something else: being a bit shit at stuff and doing it anyway is specifically a radical, anti-capitalist act. ✊🏻 An underlying reason you want to do things well is because you’ve internalised the lesson that stuff only has value if it literally has economic value – if you can sell it.

Post your wonky drawings. Throw an ungainly pot. Make sub-par dinners. You’re literally smashing the system. ♥️

@chrisphin @ITOmarHernandez @girlonthenet precisely the point of my mediocre book reviews on my mediocre tracker-free unmonetized website. Throw it up in webspace for the heck of it because I can, like it’s 2003

@chrisphin half-ass it for the People and stick it to the Man! And for all I know there *are* no people because I don’t believe in analytics or tracking! The possibility of free anonymous users is good enough for me!

@chrisphin wow! What an antidote to my crippling perfectionism. Trying so hard to grow out of it.

@jillrhudy We’ll get through it! There is a glorious half-assed future ahead of us, and all we have to do is… not strive for it. 🙃
