Clean Laundry, By Eliza Daley, originally published by By my solitary hearth July 31, 2024 "...I prefer simple methods & tools wherever I am given a choice because they are low-cost (which is a pleasure) & good for the planet (also a pleasure) & good for your body because it is good for the planet (also a pleasure) & good for your body in itself (also a pleasure). ...I know you all know this with your body, but I think we all forget with our chattering minds... ...These tools of convenience are not really designed to convenience us. They are tools of efficiency, but the beneficiary is not us. Conveniences have a two-fold function. First, they take us away from the need to do things for ourselves. They make time for us to do more work — which sounds like a good thing, right? We can get more done for ourselves. But that is not at all the practical result, and I would argue it is also not the intent..." https://www.resilience.org/stories/2024-07
