"The cultural primacy of making, especially in tech culture—that it is intrinsically superior to not-making, to repair, analysis, and especially caregiving—is informed by the gendered history of who made things, and in particular, who made things that were shared with the world, not merely for hearth and home."
"Making connects us despite perceived or real difference: across ages, identities, labels, borders, languages, and time. Making carries with it all the stories of those before us, and the potential of all those surrounding us. It connects us to history, creates new communities in the present, and sends ripples into the future."
