working with textiles is a trap. first they lure you in with knitting. then you pick up crochet (understandable enough). next you start getting curious in fiber. you learn how to spin (okay that’s a bit extra). weaving is cool, right? you now own a loom. heck, while we’re at it, why not starting making your own clothes (this is getting out of hand)? spinning is no longer enough for you — you need something stronger. you learn how to dye (stop i’m begging). dye is fun, but it’d be nice to have your own source of fiber. you are now a shepherd.

Tardigrade corn maze at Treinen Farm in Wisconsin.

[xignis]

theres something deep about such a small animal being drawn on such a large scale like do they know does the tardigrade know of their own portrait that is comparable to thousands of universes in length on their scale? a portrait drawn by beings that they know nothing about, but whom know so much about them? beings who live in an entirely other world, yet still admire the small tardigrade? admiration enough to give a tardigrade a glimpse of a micro and macro world in mirror, to let the tardigrade feel what is felt by those who know them? im not crying about the tardigrade cornfield, im not 

[sigridkaffen]

Can you imagine, though, if there are beings as big to is as we are to tartigrades? And they made a portrait of us out of galaxies or something?

That's a fun thing to think about.
