Maintain

Maintain was a community of people interested in maintaining different parts of our world. We ran events between 2018-22, now on YouTube:

Our most recent blog post, written by students from the cultural anthro department at @UniLeidenNews explore:
❄️ Deathcare work as stigmatized maintenance?
❄️ Run-of-the-mill maintenance?
❄️ Maintenance in exchange for what?

We've had a ball celebrating all things maintenance and maintainers over the years, but as a group of volunteers we need to maintain ourselves :)

“Perhaps maintenance, rather than sustainability, is the more useful framework for a green transition, because it can account for how human infrastructure is now deeply entangled with the environment” https://t.co/PGB0AFq3eR

“After decades of research, the time has come: degrowth now has its own journal.”

While we take stock of big, new losses in Dartmoor, I want to take a moment to talk about the micro enclosures happening every day around the country. They’ll never make the headlines. But they completely shape the way we live our lives.

This is mine. 🧵

"In practice, many of these physicists will decide that certain problems are off-limits — too difficult to handle. So particle physics will stall, with only a few people able to work on the hardest calculations."

[Quanta Magazine @QuantaMagazine]

A program that helps physicists calculate the probabilities of particle collision outcomes was released in 1989. Its maintenance largely rests on one person. If the situation does not change, particle physics may be forced to slow down dramatically. https://t.co/aAbRXzaiIT

"The industrial world is aging, and the sheer quantity and geographic extent of transport, water and energy infrastructure presents an unprecedented challenge at the exact moment that climate change forces us to rethink material use" https://t.co/du84lVJzPT via @Maintain_hive

[Issues in Science and Technology @ISSUESinST]

“Maintenance activity ... keeps civilization running,” writes @BioengineerGM. Facing a winter of energy supply problems, France is learning this lesson as half its nuclear fleet is offline following decades of delayed maintenance.https://t.co/FUXXyPW6tl

How long do they last? Are they repairable? How much waste to they produce? If we dont ask they questions before purchase we are solving one problem to create another.

[Dermot Jones @DermotTJones]

Phenomenal read from @AlexVuocolo in @NoemaMag on the critical role maintenance could/should play in a future that recognises the world we actually inhabit

#Maintaineers are unsung heroes!

Great to see @nProctor quoted!

The maintenance of time-keeping in the modern era! Fascinating.

[Diane Coyle @DianeCoyle1859]

Very interesting - we should pay more attention to digital infrastructure in general @FT

🎥 Our historic, operational infrastructure doesn’t get much more impressive than Goole Swing Bridge in Yorkshire.

It was Grade II* listed 35 years ago and still works hard each day to keep you and freight operators moving:
