Working on my first mending #knitting

I made a rainbow cardigan for my 4-year old niece, which has become her favourite garment. And children... Well, my sister was very upset because there were some strands coming out and she was afraid it was all ruined. Fortunately no broken thread, so easy fixes!

Any suggestions on what think about for making knitted garments child-wear proof, welcome!

Now on to 'repairing' the last pull 😀

“The points of contact, it may be urged, between the social and moral sciences and social needs, are even more numerous and more urgent than in the case of the mathematical and physical sciences. The latter have secured their independence through a certain abstractness, a certain remoteness from matters of social concern. Political economy, sociology, historical interpretation, psychology in its various possible applications, deal face-to-face with problems of life, not with problems of technical theory. Hence the right and duty of academic freedom are even greater here than elsewhere.” — John Dewey, “Academic Freedom” (1902, MW 2: 58)

I'm not an anarchist (even if I'm somewhat sympathetic), but I gotta tell you, one of the most profound lessons I learned in my life was from offline anarchists:
If you see a problem in your community, or an opportunity to make things better, just get a few passionate friends together and do it, don't wait for some institution to come knocking and asking for your help.

Very cheesy, perhaps, but it really changed my approach to some things in life, including many things in my academic life. Thanks, you idealistic anarchists!

Meine To-do-Liste als Wissenschaftlerin ist übervoll. Mit zig unterschiedlichen Aufgaben. Auch wenn ich sehr viel arbeite: Ich schaffe es NIE, alle Punkte abzuarbeiten. Die Folge: ein schlechtes Gewissen. Ständig. Seit Jahren. Darüber schreibe ich heute im #ArbeitInDerWiss-Newsletter! #IchBinHanna

@pjw I like this view in general, but I often worry about its consequences. For instance, instead of pushing the city to improve certain aspect of my kids Kindergarten, we could just do it ourselves (and we do). But doesn't this lead to an erosion of responsibility on the cities part? And does it not lead to a separation between those communities who can and those who cannot afford to fix their issues by themselves?

Ten years ago today I was saying goodbye to an org that didn’t know it was dying, only that it wished the community that had worked so hard to keep it going would shut up about harassment.
