my wall tags got greenlit by the studio audience:
#planned obsolescence is spreading like chlamydia in a nursing home into every part of our lives and you should be PISSED. anyway. buying things secondhand when you can (appliances but also clothes & furniture) is a great way to weed out what has staying power, and what was designed to break. plus it's great for your budget! please check out your local thrift store for blenders food processors mixers etc if it's old ugly clunky but it works? then it is probably a TANK that will keep on chugging til kingdom come.
kitchen appliances especially get donated bc people die/move and no one wants them because they are old/bulky, and they have low resale value bc advertising culture trains us to only want the new shiny stainless steel version. but if a blender has been alive and kicking since the 80s? baby i don't care about the aesthetic that is Grade A Family Heirloom material.
trawl facebook marketplace/whatever for washers/dryers/ovens that work but people want to get rid in favor of the new and shiny. get comfortable with having things be a little scruffy and dated but functional and useful. your life will be so much easier and cheaper. also learning basic mending and furniture repair skills will save you a ton of money. never underestimate the power of a coat of spray paint or decorative contact paper. and it will allow you to personalize things in a fun and colorful way if you so choose! it doesn't have to be perfect, it just has to make your life easier and bring you a bit of joy in the process.
tell corporations to go fuck themselves! learn diy. reject this crazy ideal that everything has to be replaced just bc it's a little dented and showing its age. that's wabi sabi baby!!!!!!!
