And when a six-foot tall Persian priestess with a fucking GOLD EYE speaks, you know you damn well listen to what she has to say.

Ok
My pentab going wonky so didnt get to color my janky ass sketch. but here is the sacrificial art to summon lesbian deity’s dead priestess. bonus: 6 foot high golden eye priestess looking down at all the smols.
A beautiful and sturdy public/garden bench from a standard euro pallet in 8 easy steps using only common tools. Almost no wood pieces are left out. You could also reuse the nails.

The removal of seating is one of the primary ways capitalists turn public spaces into places of consumption, rather than socialization, play, relaxation, reflection, etc. By leaving no spaces for people to simply sit and exist, we’re forced to buy things to fill our time instead
It seems simple and insignificant, but reintroducing seating can be a radical act of reappropriation. Plus, they can be a place for rough sleepers, or make bus stops more comfortable, and open people’s eyes to the potential of direct action - it’s your community, and no one should be able to stop you from improving it
And, it’s free! Pallets are easy to find, building this takes like 15 minutes tops with a friend, and all you’d need to buy is maybe some nails. Easy praxis!
I would LOVE to see benches in more places!!! I have nerve damage in my ankle, and other chronic pain in my lower back/legs that make it really hard for me to go anywhere by foot (despite the fact that I love going for walks) A good walk can quickly become infuriating when I NEED to sit down and cannot find one /anywhere/ The most recent example of this is when I went to PA to visit my partner for Christmas. We took a walk down town to visit his favorite game shop and get some tacos, and half way through the trip I REALLY needed to sit down. I think we walked for about 20 minutes before we were able to find /anywhere/ for us to sit down.
I dont want to have to sit on the ground everytime I need a break, but I’ve done it, and gotten a ton of nasty stares.
We should really start doing this.! I think it would be a lovely idea for everyone, even if they aren’t like me and just want a place to sit to people watch or wait for the bus
