Next Textile Talk (free, Zoom, May 6, 2pm Eastern): Jim Arendt--Denim and Persistence in Difficult Times, SAQA

His close proximity to the manufacturing and agrarian landscapes of America, as well as the dramatic shifts in both sectors of the economy during Jim's lifetime, has led him to pursue an understanding of America's people and craft.

#NintendoDirect
Youngest finished setting up a batch of mead.
Youngest: I completed a project. Why do I feel upset? Where is the crowd cheering my name?
Me: Yeah. I wrote 30 stories in 30 days. I want a parade.
Youngest: Come to the window and I'll show you the parade. I promise not to push you out.
We're doing just fine.
Good night, gentle citizens of the servers. Lala Chili Crisp plus Kewpie mayo could make an old Christmas tree tasty.
