toxic productivity and the relentless pressures of knitstagram

less knits, more complaining šŸ˜… i've been in a knitting/posting funk lately and i wanna talk about it! i'm slowly pulling myself out of it (with a scrappy intarsia to come...) but this is hard and i know i'm not the only one. its a lot!!!! also i've said toxic productivity so many times now i'm not 100% sure what it means anymore... you catch the drift tho TIME STAMPS: 00:00 - intro 01:37 - the very small amount of knitting i have done 05:02 - the pressure to post (and knit) consistently 09:07 - toxic productivity in the online knitting community 11:54 - toxic productivity in knitting content 15:09 - summary music by uppbeat!
