My aptitude tests as a kid came back "Analyst" which seemed like a made-up job at the time, but damn if I don't love a good spreadsheet.

@SeasonsChange@retro.pizza hi! I’m primarily a garment sewist but am starting to dabble in home dec and quilting. I like Swanson’s and A Thrifty Notion for price and sustainability, especially if I don’t have something specific in mind:
https://www.swansonsfabrics.com
https://athriftynotion.com
If I am looking for something specific, but not urgent, Fabric Mart has rotating sales:
https://fabricmartfabrics.com
For specific and urgent, there’s Mood:
https://www.moodfabrics.com
There are a ton of smaller but well curated fabric stores for garment sewing. I live in Pittsburgh, so I’m lucky and have Firecracker locally:
https://www.firecrackerfabrics.com
If I lived out west I’d buy from Blackbird more often:

@futurebird@sauropods.win feels related to how the left is mystified at people on the right voting “against their own interests” for program cuts etc

@juliew2010 coincidentally I’ve been reading a book on jewelry making from the 60s and just finished the chapter on lapidary and stone cutting. What a stunning rendering in piecework! You really captured the light.

@jasongorman@mastodon.cloud unfortunately, I feel like our tendency to see faces on toast is also what makes human society work
Today is Bandcamp Friday! If you need to LEAN IN to feeling REAL SAD may I recommend
Lost Weekend by Phoebe Bridges
https://phoebebridgers.bandcamp.com/album/lost-weekend
Some moments twangy, some a heart-gripping wash of electronic sounds and close vocals
October is the start of depression season for me so I will not be getting this until spring but if you are the sort that does well with company maybe this is for you now?

maybe *you* know it, but I would encourage you to imagine other people with a different reading list than you
bc there are an awful lot of think pieces out there trying to “gotcha” the right by showing how most beneficiaries of various social programs they fight against are in red states
and the thesis is usually “how are you going to keep your constituency if you take away their medicare” and almost never “it makes sense you’d want to take away their medicare, that’s what is freeing them from the shackles of hierarchy”
