Die Schrankwand.

[Self portrait: I am sitting on the floor of an almost empty room, leaning against the bottom of a sofa that is turned over. In front of me there are an old-fashioned vacuum cleaner and, partly visible, a ventilator. I hold a bottle of beer in one hand and the phone I take the photo with in the other. The picture is taken into a mirror that is full of finger prints. At the back of the room there are wooden boards and drawers from a disassembled cupboard. The kind of massive living room furniture that translates to Schrankwand - closet wall - in German. From the colour of the wallpaper it is visible where the Schrankwand had been standing for decades.]

Two days ago (my knees still shaking) I received official and final decision (second instance), granting me a caretaker's allowance at the level of minimal wage for indefinite period.
Essentially, it is my pay for full time taking care of my wife, @kanako . But, as I have been doing this job anyway, It feels more like a #UBI or #PassiveIncome than #ReproductiveWork compensation.

It will last as long as she, I and the state exist. For me, 20 years will do.

So, comrades, #FuckWork, long live #MutualCare and #anarchist #social #revolution!

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.

two people are drawing measurements on a plaque of drywall

a person is standing on a ladder scraping off the wallpaper on the ceiling and another is cleaning the floor with a broom.

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.
