I feel like I always think of solar punk as a macro thing where a lot has to change but there are still smaller wins we can implement, what have you been doing?

I'm really torn on it because on one hand, if calling it Thread Repair could get more people (especially men) to participate, that's a good thing! I also just like the sound of thread repair XD On the other hand... maybe men should learn to be interested in things that aren't personally catered to their tiny baby feelings. Get over it and fix your damn socks.

I dunno. I'm also eternally torn between "men created toxic masculinity and they need to fix it themselves, not expect women to do it for them" and "men need the women in their lives to help them escape toxic masculinity because we're outside it (for the most part) and everyone needs help sometimes"
