Second day of our building week and some rooms are already hardly recognizable. We have a few working sites across Kanthaus where people are working in small teams. Coordination and #reproductiveWork (cooking, cleaning, child care…) is also significant, with about 20 people in the house.

For me, the whole story of Twitter's slow degradation of service after the layoffs hints strongly at the hidden reproductive labor necessary for maintaining digital platforms and applications. Hidden in the sense as someone crunching their numbers would not directly be aware of the complexities involved nor would its absence be directly noticeable. Actually very similar to the care crisis we're experiencing.
I am very good at peeling potatoes #reproductiveWork
