doing something productive as meditative practice is not a new idea but it just feels so much more punk and anticapitalist to make Something Of Personal Value for u and ur friends without feeling like u have to monetize it
u can just make the bracelets, u don’t have to open an etsy shop u know
this isn’t as black and white as im saying, i think there’s a greater moral question of like, valuing your time and making a job for yourself out of something enjoyable and blah blah blah but what i mean is that i like to see people making art just for the act
