Rereading all systems red and the first 2 chapters are strong contenders for funniest intro to a book series. Jumping straight to action, and mb is giving us absolutely no info about anything. Who are those people? Some weird hippies it's not important. Why are they here? Mb does not give a shit. What is this planet? Fuck if it knows. Here is a small paragraph that fucking states everyone's relationship status like a wiki article that we are never gonna get back to. Ugh there are hostiles that keep us away from our media #our media.

So my sister wants to start sewing more, because

a. She’s 5′ 11″ 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 it’s difficult to find natural fiber clothes that aren’t made of cotton

c. She’s 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 “So where do I GET wool or linen and thread that isn’t polyester” and mom was like ‘go ask your sister’

And I, of course, crashed into the group text like “GET A PEN I HAVE WEBSITES FOR U” and honestly I’m thrilled about this

[systlin]

“Where did u get all this”

“Bets, u know I’m a 15th degree blackbelt of buying shit on the internet”

“oh yeah tru”

I don’t know a lot about sewing, but I want to make or have my mom make some linen pants & shirts for when I’m 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?

(I’ve been wearing my renfaire pants which are a linen mix, I think. But the frikking mosquitos that hide in the tomatoes get my arms)

[systlin]

Medium weight is what I’d go with.

And linen pajama shorts is a HARD yes.

[beggars-opera]

Renaissance Fabrics is good for all sorts of things

Mood doesn’t specialize in natural fabrics but they do have basically every fabric ever made so

[the-merry-otter]

For wools, I cannot recommend Woolsome enough! They’re 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.

Woolsome

Historical fabrics for re-enactors

[justgarb]

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 you’re on mobile

ok i would like to clarify it has to be music and it can't just be a short song that's been looped a bunch. that still counts as several songs in one file, it's just several of the same song in one file. no audiobooks no podcasts no plants vs zombies theme 2 hour loop

[doingthewritethings]

last summer i found a book of historic gay fetish art in a thrift store and there was an ink drawing from 1960 of batman and robin getting their dicks cut off and eaten by cannibals. and it doesn’t seem to exist anywhere else. is this like a historic artifact

[doingthewritethings]

my post was gonna be this image with ‘etienne from the 1960s would have made it big on ao3 dot com’ but now it does appear to me that i have found some sort of print that is not available anywhere online. anyway shoutout to my ancestors doing insane things to batman’s cock

[evilkitten3]

heyyy so i noticed the special secret sickness is starting to eat through you. what am i supposed to do

[mollyjames]

I think a lot of transmisogyny stems from this idea that people are really scared to see a dick. The reason bathrooms and locker rooms and hot springs keep being flash points is because these are all places where if a trans woman is using them, it's possible you might see her dick. A lot of transmisogynistic humor revolves around being traumatized because the subject saw a woman with a penis. And look, to a certain extent I sympathize. I'm not a fan of dick; I dont want this thing either. But if you want to be an ally to trans women, I think a big important step you can take personally is to examine your own reaction to the scenarios I described above, and recognize that a dick is just a body part a girl has sometimes. Seeing it as inherently sexual and/or traumatizing is a major wedge conservatives use to justify their rhetoric

[moniquill]

Even more radical stance: as a society we need to normalize nonsexual nudity. Bathrooms/locker rooms are not made safer by segregation, they're made safer by privacy barriers, sturdy locking doors, etc. (segregation has never stopped malicious actors )

[aetherograph]

I was raised thinking nudity was not inherently sexual. I would see a penis sometimes at home as my dad was crossing the hallway from the bathroom to his room after a shower. It did not scar me for life or traumatise me. I didn't really think about it at all. Everyone did that at home, you just walked naked to and from the bathroom if you were showering. My dad slept naked, which was how I learned that was a thing you could do. I started doing it in my teens.

I think Americans need to see people naked more often. We need more naked art that doesn't cover up the genitals and isn't meant to be sexual. If you watch British or Australian or European stuff, there's a lot of nonsexual nudity. There's even comedic nudity, because of how non-sexual nudity can be there! Jokes can be a lot more earthy than America, which has what I like to call a 13-year-old furtiveness about it.

I've been watching documentaries about nudity in film lately actually, so here's some of the ones I've been watching:

Skin: A History of Nudity in Movies (2020)

A history of film nudity, from the silent era to now, as ratings boards, politics, and cultural norms have shaped how much celluloid skin we

This is slightly left of just nudity, but also helps understand a lot of American weirdness around it:

American Grindhouse (2010)

This deep dive into American exploitation films unearths the shameless and occasionally shocking origins of the popular entertainment genre.

And then here's one that is about Australian film and really showcases how different the attitudes about nudity are in other countries:

Not Quite Hollywood (2008)

Discover how renegade Australian filmmakers in the '70s blindsided audiences with a raw, uncensored explosion of sex, violence, and mayhem.

The Hays Code did a lot of damage to American art and culture and even our attitudes. It still influences how people think about art today. So do obscenity laws. "this stirs prurient interests" is the worst exception to the first amendment and should be struck down.
