There is magic in the mundane

(Furry has a lot of political weight/associations).

Argument for disability rights with the protogen.

Body acceptance - hip dip, pouch, tig ol’ bitties

Sex positivity - furry, toaster/toast placement

Censorship- toaster/toast placement

[Refer to male/female gaze]

LGBT rights - bi logo on headphones

Freedom of speech/expression - sarcastic “‘all art is political’” to try and disprove it.

Artistic intent/audience response

It’s one of the foundational technologies of human civilization

It is incredibly, almost unfathomably, complex and yet the barrier to entry is fairly low

The history is insane. Like you don’t understand it’s so super insane. Like we’ve got the development of textiles in different places, domestication of animals and plants for fiber, dyes!!!, fashion!!!!!, rarity of materials and class implications, trade!!!!!!!!!, religious and social customs, industrialization, gender roles and gendered work (not just feminine work it’s more complicated than that), and so much more

And and and and and also also, there have recently been huge massive developments in fiber and textile technologies. We have synthetic materials! We have sewing and knitting machines and more!! We have fabrics that are stronger than ever and textiles that can like resist Fire and water better than ever before!!! WE HAVE WASHING MACHINES!!!!!!

As a result of this so much about fashion and the class implications and the labor behind textiles and the division of labor in households and the affect of textiles on the environment is so completely entirely different in large part because of the modern state of the fashion industry.

This is a super important thing with a super important history with an extremely insanely important and undervalued industry that has so much influence over our lives and environment and is changing rapidly.

The earliest example of someone chewing on the end of their pencil that I know of

Bone styluses from a 5th century BC grave at Acharnai, outside of Athens. Now in archaeological museum at Acharnai. My photo.

"someone ended it all before it could even start." - Carlos, Kohen's grandfather.

"Family say the aunt was driving the car and the mother was in the front passenger seat holding her child when the shooting happened."

a mother went to the grocery store with her 1 year old child and. the cops. murdered her baby boy. he was in her arms. in her arms. in her arms.

the cop who did this does not deserve to live. Kohen should still be alive. despicable. beyond words. there are no words anymore. the hatred of Black people is a plague on the world.

may Kohen's spirit find peace and be reborn to his mothers arms in another life. may his family grieve together in peace. fuck the colonial entity known as the United States.

Kohen Wiley, the slain child, was in the car at the center of the shooting on Sunday alongside his mother and her friend, said Marquell Bridges, a local community advocate who is helping the family find legal representation. Kohen’s mother was physically unharmed, but her friend was seriously injured, said Bridges, the president and founder of an advocacy group called the Building Bridges Coalition.

Apparently a community rally was organized in Senatobia (video of protest included at that link) & the family has legal council.

They tear gassed protestors, at a protest over the murder of a 1-year old and the potentially fatal injuring of another woman, and the traumatizing of an entire family.

Mini series of an AU where Izuku is a quirkless teacher in UA who is a single omega w a child. The staffs in UA have speculation on who is the father of the child based on the child look (since izuku didnt disclose the sire information). Because of that, the UA teacher (esp Aizawa) and staffs grew one sided hatred of the alleged father for being irresponsible and absent towards his pack.
