Destin Sandlin examines the systemic engineering and economic hurdles involved in manufacturing a grill scrubber entirely in America. Through a deep dive into sourcing components like injection-molded knobs and specialized chain mail, the project highlights the complexities of maintaining domestic supply chains and preserving vital technical trade skills in a competitive global market.

We live in a culture that prizes the atomized self, inappropriately foisting healing onto individuals when disease and discomfort are the multi-causal snares of systems of oppression within which we are stuck like flies in a spider’s web. We think we must heal individually and succeed individually. We are taught, also, that we feel and sense individually, keyed only to direct contact with our skin-delineated corporality. This phenomenon is known as “healthism” and is defined as the preoccupation with personal health and personal responsibility for health as primary often at the detriment of understanding that the health of one person is intimately tied to and representative of a whole population. Illness, trauma, and pain do not belong to an individual. They are a web that includes someone.

Likewise, healing is not an object or achievement that belongs to one person. Research into embodied cognition and ecology, microbiology and somatics offers a glimmer of something leakier than the modern idea of a self.

What is interesting is that these policies often meet resistance at first. People respond as if something is being taken away from them: freedom of movement, or the freedom to use their car. Yet once the measures are implemented and people become accustomed to their new, more pleasant surroundings, the benefits become clear. There is no real loss, only gain. There is less need to travel, and more freedom to choose how to travel for short trips. Even for those who genuinely depend on a car, conditions improve when the bulk of unnecessary car journeys disappears.

By the way, if you still have space, it is not an excuse to not rethink the role of cars in our cities

Feeding homeless people is also a form of praxis. Even if you aren't arming for the revolution, you are still contributing to fighting against capitalism.
