D.I.-Why?: Emily Matchar on the Allure of the “New Domesticity”￾ | The Hairpin – Interesting. We were talking about this at lunch today. I was sitting at a table with ten other women in I.T., and we realised that several of us were knitters and others were bakers. My standard explanation is that being a knowledge worker means I build things that you can’t touch, so making things is a tactile hobby that appeals to me. But I can see where the author’s theory of “New Domesticity” could also play a part in its overall trendiness.
Important Note
This site features content going all the way back to 2000. The posts you’ll read reflect my views and writing style at the time. While I have gone back to clean up a few of them, I think it’s important not to sanitise too much. This site is a record of who I am and how I’ve grown. Any blog post written years ago may not reflect who I am today, nor how I would write about the same topic today.
