So my sister wants to start sewing more, because
a. Sheâs 5Ⲡ11âł and can never find pants long enough for her legs or shirts long enough for her arms.
b. She hates synthetic fibers as much as I do and itâs difficult to find natural fiber clothes that arenât made of cotton
c. Sheâs a biologist and would physically fistfight microplastics if given half a chance
So her gift from mom and dad for her birthday was a sewing machine. Not a super expensive one but a good solid serviceable one.
And recently she asked âSo where do I GET wool or linen and thread that isnât polyesterâ and mom was like âgo ask your sisterâ
And I, of course, crashed into the group text like âGET A PEN I HAVE WEBSITES FOR Uâ and honestly Iâm thrilled about this
âWhere did u get all thisâ
âBets, u know Iâm a 15th degree blackbelt of buying shit on the internetâ
âoh yeah truâ
Op can may we inquire about the website list
Linen; https://www.graylinelinen.com/
cotton and Silk thread; https://redrockthreads.com/
Linen thread and wool fabric; https://burnleyandtrowbridge.com/ (theyâve got wool stuffs and worsted wool fabric for $15 a yard! I just got three yards of navy worsted wool Iâm making a constellation winter skirt from)
More linen thread and wool; https://wmboothdraper.com/ (just ordered wool broadcloth to make a coat)
Silk fabric (THE best place to get silk lining fabrics and raw silk fabric):https://www.dharmatrading.com/
A varying assortment of wool and silk and cotton and even some leather, use coupon code spring2020 for 50% off your full order, worked yesterday when I bought some stuff there; https://metrotextilesnyc.com/
Wool. You want wool coating for under $20 a yard? Sure you do. Itâs here. Not a huge variety of colors, most are black or brown, but hey https://www.fashionfabricsclub.com/Catalog?refinementIds=4096748&Keyword=wool&pageSize=16
I donât know a lot about sewing, but I want to make or have my mom make some linen pants & shirts for when Iâm watering, because it gets to 105 here and we have mosquitos so I need to be covered. What type of linen do I buy? Also, linen pajama shorts, yes/no?
(Iâve been wearing my renfaire pants which are a linen mix, I think. But the frikking mosquitos that hide in the tomatoes get my arms)
Medium weight is what Iâd go with.
And linen pajama shorts is a HARD yes.
Renaissance Fabrics is good for all sorts of things
Mood doesnât specialize in natural fabrics but they do have basically every fabric ever made so
For wools, I cannot recommend Woolsome enough! Theyâre a bit more expensive then the above links, but they have a spectacular range of colours and weights, as well as diamond pattern and herringbone weaves. They also have a range of linens, though not as extensive.
Historical fabrics for re-enactors
Tiedtohistory.com has sheer voile linen
The Linen Lab has a variety of weaves, weights, and colors available
Period Fabric has a variety of wools, but switch to the full website if youâre on mobile

My latest cartoon for New Scientist
To be clear, this isn't a bit. This is what they actually did. "Its too late" is the new "Climate change isn't real"... And its still a lie!
Every serious climate scientist agrees that there is no such as thing as too late, just as there is no such thing as too early. We should have done a lot more than we have to fight climate change, and the world will suffer for our inaction, but there is no point of no return. We can always work to reduce the amount of suffering that occurs, and eventually turn things around to the point where our planet is healing once again. Do not believe anyone who says it's "too late".
All right, hold on â is there anyone in this room who wasn't grown in a tube by a shadowy quasi-governmental conspiracy as a living weapon? Anyone at all?
the main problem i have with america is that nothings old as hell there. i cant be so far away from a castle it damages my aura
man people really just say stuff on here huh
Noooo haha don't spread racist ideals and colonizer propaganda by idolizing white european aesthetics above all else and denying the life and accomplishments of native peoples on their own lands
People have been living in the downtown area of Tucson, Arizona for at least 4,500 years. The greater Santa Cruz river valley has been occupied by humans for 12,000 years.
You see this?
That's not a river. That's the South Canal in Mesa, Arizona (Phoenix metro area).
This is a view of the East and South canals. At least half of all the Phoenix metro canals were originally built by the Hohokam (from roughly 200-1400 CE), and are still in use (restored) today.
Phoenix, Arizona actually has more miles (kilometers) of Canals total than both Venice and Amsterdam. No, really. Phoenix has about 180 miles of canals, many of which are built on ancient canal foundations.
below is an aerial view photo taken in the late 1930's of one branch of Phoenix's canal systems:
Also have the "Montezuma Castle," if you need a castle:
I don't need to look at some 12th century European castle to see age.
Also want to point out that many Indigenous nations literally decided to prioritise NOT building permanent buildings. That was a choice they made. You know what permanent human-created things they left instead? THE LITERAL LANDSCAPE. Even though the settlers did their best to destroy it, the landscape was still tended and shaped by Indigenous people. Every biome that exists here was created by some nation or other, every plant was encouraged or discouraged by the local people who ranged in that area.
But more to the point: I don't need fucking buildings to know that people have been here millions of years, the people are here telling me that, and I fucking listen to them.

"But what if people will pretend to need this accessibility option so they can be lazy! People who don't need it will use it!!" I don't actually care
I dont care if 9/10 of the people who use the wheelchair ramp arent actually in wheelchairs. As long as the 1 person who needs it has access to it.
I dont care if 9/10 people who use the automatic push button on the library door can actually push the door open themselves. As long as the 1 person who the door is too heavy for gets to use it.
I dont care if 9/10 people who buy the can tab opener, or the little guitar clamp that holds the chords for you, or the hand grip that helps you hold chop sticks, don't need any of it and just get it to "be lazy". As long as the one disabled person who needs it gets access to it.
I do not care. Oh my GOD I do not care. As long as there's a disabled person on this planet who the accessibility device will benefit, the accessibility device is necessary.
Also, if you're so worried about people being "lazy" by using accessibility devices, MORE worried than you are about disabled (visibly or not) people not having access to them, you have unchecked ableism you need to work through.
As a two time sexual assault survivor, let me say so many of you stupid motherfuckers on this website will turn gleefully fascist at the prospect of punishing sex criminals as if false accusations of sex crime are not THE most common falsehood used to justify hate crimes against minorities, particularly people of color and LGBTQ folk - who, I will remind you, are disproportionately likely to be victims of SA themselves.
Like yeah! Give the government the legal power to sterilize criminals! That will never be a problem! Alan Turing? Never heard of him! It doesn't have horrible implications for the concept of bodily autonomy! Sexual abuse and abortion are famously completely different subjects!
Death penalty for sex offenders? It's not like there are already massive structural inequalities that make the death penalty vastly more likely to be used against people who are non-white, and among the white people it DOES get used on, they are overwhelmingly either poor, mentally ill or both! It's also not like making the death penalty available for crimes that are not murder heavily incentivizes murder as a way of removing a potential witness, since it carries the same penalty!
It's not as if there is a widespread fascist campaign to portray gender-affirming care as "sexual abuse" in the exact same jurisdictions that are also trying to push the death penalty for sex crimes! It's not as if the Tulsa massacre and the lynching of Emmett Till were "justified" by false accusations of sexual misconduct!
As someone who's been assaulted twice, your rhetoric doesn't actually help survivors like me live in a safer world. In fact, it contributes to a climate of thought in which the fascists who are openly gloating about sexually assaulting people thrive. They have the power right now - do you think they're going to use it to punish themselves? Do you think the motherfuckers on the Epstein List have any intention to be held accountable to their own laws?
"Oh, but I'd only use the justice system against real sexual abusers who actually committed sex crimes!" Yeah buddy that's exactly what the fascists said. You do not live in a magical world where you can exclusively punish the people who are actually guilty and will never fall for a false allegation. You will not build that world by doing the exact same things the fascists do and saying the exact same things the fascists say.
And don't think I haven't noticed that a whole lot of the people preaching fire and brimstone upon "only the truly guilty" are also happy to accuse people of being rapists and groomers for such horrific acts as... drawing BDSM art or writing noncon fiction. You know, things a lot of survivors do to process and cope with trauma, and that a lot of perfectly upstanding people do because they're into weird shit. Put simply and impolitely, I don't trust you baying-for-blood rabid fucking animals to know what a "real sexual abuser" looks like. Let's also not forget that some of you think pointing this shit out is the same as "defending sex abusers," because you are deeply unserious clowns.
One thing I never see any of the people who act like this do is actually talk about resources for survivors. In fact, a lot of the people who talk this way are the same people who don't want to spend their tax dollars on rape crisis centers, abuse shelters or comprehensive sex education - and even where they permit them to exist, they love to exclude trans people (who suffer sexual abuse at atrocious rates compared to their cis counterparts) from these services.
A society in which basic human rights cannot be taken away from even the most loathsome, horrendous people is the only one in which any of us can be safe, because it doesn't take as much as you think for the people with the power to convince everyone else that you are the most loathsome, horrendous person.
âThis portrayal of a marginalized group was wrong then and is wrong nowâ and âThis portrayal of a marginalized group was very progressive for the time period and paved the way for more representation while likely limited by factors outside of the creatorâs controlâ are two statements that can and should ABSOLUTELY coexist and be kept in mind when interacting with older media
Great example
I'm crying. WHAT?!
I have a baby cousin who's Two Spirit.
Their parents are leftists, open minded, pro LGBTQ+, learned to use the right pronouns (to their face at least) all that jazz.
Their Auntie grew up in a remote area, little old fashioned, doesn't really "get" the non binary thing, and hasn't quite got the hang of the singular 'they' yet. But she tries.
When my cousin got injured and couldn't drive their parents shrugged and told them to quit their job.
Their Auntie drove them to and from work every day until they got their cast off.
Which family member do you think they'll ask next time they need help?
Do you want to be ideologically perfect, or do you want to help?
