There are no clothing machines.
All garments are handmade.
ALL of them.
There is no T-shirt machine. Every $5 shirt I’ve ever purchased was sewn together by a human being who is an expert sewist.
Just thought I’d mention that before tomorrow.

Remembering, mourning, and hoping this century does not fall victim to the same needless horrors as the last one.

Hey folks, as news of Watson's demise spreads, please don't set aside his weighty legacy of misogyny and racism. He was truly among the worst of us. www.vox.com/2019/1/15/18...
DNA scientist James Watson has a remarkably long history of sexist, racist public comments
“People say it would be terrible if we made all girls pretty,” he said in 2003. “I think it would be great.”

Japan's "Mundane Halloween" costume contest is back!
Each year website DailyPortalZ holds a contest where people dress up as something super duper ordinary.
Here's a thread of some of my favorites from the 2025 contest!

(WITH FRAYING PATIENCE) No thanks, I don’t want to see Marilyn Monroe in Game Of Thrones, because it ended several years ago and she died a very long time before that.
Despite early, and familiar, copyright growing pains, Sora may be the prelude to AI-generated on-demand TV and movies

A slightly belated intro to Morgana! I’ve had her for a week now and she’s made herself completely at home, though Baerd is still a bit unsure about the intruder. Like most 9 week old kittens, she has zero chill, and I think she’s going to wind up being the one in charge!

I live in a 3 storey condo building on a quiet side street that was built in the 70s, and I love it. It’s green and peaceful, but mere steps to the transit and shopping of a major road. Allowing up to 6 floors wouldn’t be a significant change, and would open this up to more people
Ken Sim and ABC have voted to bury Lucy Maloney’s motion that would have brought six floors and corner stores to side streets across Vancouver, unlocking thousands of family-friendly homes.

I support a democratically elected park board. Part of democracy is ensuring that the government’s decisions match the city’s values.
Vancouver is a city for all its people. Trans people included. I am calling on the Park Board to rethink this event and make this right.

I was completely torn when the final vote was between orcas and totem poles, but the orca is a worthy winner
It’s official: British Columbia’s best symbol is the Orca
The Orca winner of The Search for B.C.'s Best Symbol | CBC News
The winner comes after five weks, 500,000 votes, and a semifinal win against B.C.'s official tree, a quarterfinal win against the official mammal, and a round of 16 victory over the official bird.
