me: why do humans not wear linen anymore? we wore flax and wool for thousands and thousands of years, but now suddenly we’re all wearing cheap cotton, and it sucks for hot and cold weather! what’s the point of any of this?!
me: wait, I bet @systlin has spun flax
*two hours pass in which I read various blogs and tutorials*
me: I want to grow my own clothing. I want to raise silkworms. I want to have a farm, and sheep, and I want to destroy capitalism while living off the land and making everything from scratch.
me: but right now, I can’t do that, so I’m going to just order this flax fiber on etsy and learn how to spin it
