“… stoves were labor-saving devices, but the labor they saved was male. The important activity that was radically altered by the presence of a stove was fuel gathering […] The labor involved in cooking, which was the female share of the work, seems barely to have been affected at all.”

I haven’t been to a protest march since the pandemic, but will be going (& helping) on Monday. What are your experiences and precautions? Did you strictly self-isolate the days before and after?

When I first saw the word ‘CryptoArt’ I thought it means something like making a drawing or writing a novel with an old Enigma, lol. That was probably too much 20th century thinking. No, it means “Grimes beats Elon Musk at his own game as she nets $5.8m in 20 minutes …” and greenwashing blockchain transactions that needed hundreds of kWh by donating “a percentage of the proceeds” to Carbon 180, a non-profit organization which aims to reduce global carbon emissions.

A friend wrote his dissertation about drum machines (in German). Gerade als Buch erschienen, auch online Open Access.

„Hier werden erstmals nicht nur die verwobenen Technik- und Kulturgeschichte(n) dieser Maschinen skizziert, sondern die Geräte selbst werden als Wissensobjekte ernst genommen.“
