Yall make less sense the longer I’m here.

Listen I'm a little drunk but... yarn crafts are so important. Textile arts are the backbone of society. All of us take our clothing and accessories and upholstery for granted and it's honestly shocking

I used to buy affordable t-shirts and they were comfy and nice, now I buy them in the same price range and they're sandpaper. They don't wick away moisture and the print comes undone after two washes. I buy denim and the crotch falls apart in months. I read about how modern Singer sewing machines are disappointing and then look at the delicate machining and the beautiful finishes on my 1857 machine and wonder if this is progress?!

Reblog if you're desperate for clothing that doesn't feel like sandpaper or if you like machines that go thunk instead of going obsolete in two years

I’m a big bell tutu fan, but I’ll wear a romantic too. I’m not a fan of platter/pancake tutus, at least on my body but really I think it depends on the ballet you are dancing to.

ok non-dancer folk, i’m curious, which of the four standard ballet tutu types is your favorite?

the pancake tutu

as seen in sleeping beauty (pink) and swan lake (white)

also known as a platter tutu, the pancake is probably what you think of when you hear the word ”tutu”. it’s made of 8-16 tulle layers increasing in length from bottom to top, kept stiff with starch, stitching, and sometimes a thin wire hoop sewn in between the layers.

the romantic tutu

as seen in giselle (light blue) and chopiniana (white)

the romantic tutu is the oldest tutu style, worn as early as the late 1700s, and popularized by marie taglioni (1804-84) in 1829. it’s made of lighter tulle layers reaching to as high as just below the knee, and as low as to the ankle.

the bell tutu

as seen in the awakening of flora (four dancers) and paquita (blue)

the bell tutu is a less common variation of the pancake tutu. it uses dozens of layers of tulle without a hoop to get a fuller, lighter look when in movement. it’s more expensive and difficult to make, but completely worth the effort.

the powder-puff tutu

as seen in jewels (white), and stars and stripes (red)

the powder-puff tutu, also known as the american style tutu, was favored by american choreographer george balanchine (1904-83). it’s made of short layers of tulle that aren’t sewn together or hooped, to achieve a less structured look.

thanks for coming to my ted talk :) i’m curious which y’all prefer

The chrome books also make teaching more difficult. They don’t even restrict what you really need it to. My students still find ways to cheat on tests, but it’s harder to do research and get access to learning tools. The most arbitrary things are blocked and teachers, at least in my district, aren’t given any technology training. As well as the fact that they are incredibly slow, at least the models my school was using. It made it difficult to do collaborative activity’s in the classroom. Google not only ruined tech literacy but they also took something that could have be a terrific teaching tool and destroyed it for the sake of profit.

We need to lay more blame for "Kids don't know how computers work" at the feet of the people responsible: Google.

Google set out about a decade ago to push their (relatively unpopular) chromebooks by supplying them below-cost to schools for students, explicitly marketing them as being easy to restrict to certain activities, and in the offing, kids have now grown up in walled gardens, on glorified tablets that are designed to monetize and restrict every movement to maximize profit for one of the biggest companies in the world.

Tech literacy didn't mysteriously vanish, it was fucking murdered for profit.
