The one bizarre thing to me about textiles is that warp-weighted weaving is at least 6500 years old, but our oldest knitted artifacts are only ~1000 years old, and crochet 200 years old. Even though you need less equipment to knit (two sticks) or crochet (one hook) compared to warp-weighted weaving (frame, loom weights, batting, heddles). Why the big gaps between these inventions? And why did each one appear and spread when it did?

People's issue with modest clothing has always baffled me
"Oh she's being so inappropriate by wearing more clothing"
"How dare you cover even more of yourself, think of the children"
"Are you going to tell your children to wear more clothes too? How dare you!"
Like I know it's just racism/xenophobia/Islamophobia but holy fuck, I wanna wear a niqab aroubd you too stop looking at me

I also think it's really funny that people get their knickers in a knot about people (specifically men) dressing up in drag when for hundreds of years in women literally couldn't perform on English stages as themselves so men had to literally be dressed up in drag to perform.

I know I talk about a lot of machines on this account but I will say now, first and foremost, that my favorite machine OF ALL TIME is the Fabrication Machine from 9
It is seriously one of the most gorgeous designs for a machine I’ve ever seen. Its story, its design, its sounds, its motives…AUGH.
Look at the fucking model too
I’d give my life for you, Fab. Please let me. Please.

Redraw of one of the first ever fanarts I've done for The Magnus Archives. The original is... ONLY TWO YEARS OLD???? Oh my gosh I've improved so much since then!!!
[ID: A drawing of Jonathan Sims and Martin Blackwood from the Magnus Archives, holding each other with sorrowful expressions. They're shown from the waste up. Jon, the shorter of the two, has short, braided hair and a moustache. His eyes are closed shut as tears steak down his face. Martin has his curly hair tied back in a small ponytail and wears round circular glasses. He holds Jon in his arms and cries along with him without letting the other man see his tears. Strings of white spiders web attach themselves to Jon. A giant glowing eye looms above the couple. And behind them is framed a collage of different settings where fear manifests. The inside of the frame is a gradient of yellows and browns and nearly purples. Whereas the frame and outside of it, green and white are the primary colors. \End ID]

Do they wear a watch? (NPMD)
Richie: Obviously we're starting with him, and yes, he does wear a watch. He used to have a sailor moon watch, a Pokémon watch, a few more anime, but now he just has a black and blue, waterproof digital watch, since those ones were too fragile (ie, people kept breaking them)
Ruth: She has a watch but it's broken. She wears it every day and constantly forgets it's broken.
Pete: Absolutely he does. He has a waterproof analog watch that he has to stare at for at least 30 seconds to read, but he does have it.
Steph: She doesn't have a watch, but she will yank Pete's wrist to read his.
Grace: She generally doesn't wear a watch, but she does wear one to church so that she doesn't have to pull her phone to check the time.
Max: No, but he for some reason keeps looking at his wrist as if he does. Like, he'll pull up his sleeve and everything, and then realise he doesn't wear a watch and has to pull his phone.
Shapiro: She absolutely wears a watch. No explanation needed.
Bailey: He used to wear a watch, but the strap broke after a rough kerfuffle.
Jason: He wants one but forgets to buy one
Kyle: He thinks watches are stupid
Brenda: She has a smart watch
Stacy: She thinks watches are ugly
Solomon: He wears a watch, and so does Miss Tesburger. They make sure they're synced up every week.
