Amongst his textile innovations, a technique that Mariano Fortuny created in the early c20th was a series of metal matrices to speed up production of his printed fabrics whilst retaining the artisanship. Here a printed silk alongside one of the matrices #palazzofortuny #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡

I thought it was .004 and the fact that i even feel the need to make such a distinction makes me sick. these are books!!! and art!!! for people!!! what the fuck are we doing

Confirmed DOGE is currently inside IMLS headquarters.
NEW — Keith Sonderling, Trump’s Deputy Secretary of Labor, has been named the Acting Director of the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS), an agency source tells me. He’ll arrive tomorrow at their office with DOGE and their security detail.
