Maintain

We've decided to close Maintain - here's why maintain.community/blog/2023/10/0…

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? Read here: themaintainers.org/studying-the-s…

It has been a pleasure to work with Maintain, our UK based partners, throughout these years - thank you for caring about maintenance with us!

Huge thanks to our supporters - including but not limited to @MakerAssemblyUK @SoftwareSaved @Kickstarter and @ITJobsWatch

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 :)

We've decided to close Maintain - here's why maintain.community/blog/2023/10/0…

“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” noemamag.com/the-disappeari…

“After decades of research, the time has come: degrowth now has its own journal.” Check out the first volume here: degrowthjournal.org/issues/2023-vo…

"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."

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. quantamagazine.org/crucial-comput…

It's our fifth twitter birthday today!

"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" noemamag.com/the-disappeari… via @Maintain_hive

“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.issues.org/news/maintenan…

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.

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! @Maintain_hive noemamag.com/the-disappeari…

The maintenance of time-keeping in the modern era! Fascinating. [FT paywall, here’s a limited free link on.ft.com/3DxDQ24 ]

🎥 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: 👉 networkrail.co.uk/stories/film-g… #RailHeritage

Oh my... our friends @The_Maintainers have designed and published a maintenance colouring book! Featuring the cleaning of the @CrystalPalacePK dinosaurs and many more! Link to read more and download here: themaintainers.org/the-maintainer…
