@Janetgunter for me, repairing stuff gives me just the right feedback loop of frustrating/rewarding that keeps me concentrated on the task without realising how much energy i'm burning on it. very tricky to step away from!

@Janetgunter the author also published a book on disability justice / mutual aid a little while back that you might be interested in. i started reading it early this year but, you know, slow brain 😵
