11 hours to spin 50g of wool. Slow fashion.

Replying to @CoraCHarrington
Then they had to spin all this wool into thread. And no spinning wheels! The technology of the time was a drop spindle. They gathered 10 expert hand spinners and asked them to time themselves. It took 11 hours to spin 50 grams (about 1.75 oz). For all that wool, that's 544 hours.

I have been bemoaning the impending demise of Twitter for months, but I haven't had the energy to try any of the supposed replacements. But yesterday I tried Threads, and it is currently fun, which seems promising. It feels like Twitter of old. Same handle.

Just heard about @Apollo_Neuro; anyone used it, or looked into it? Thinking especially about my @michelleerin and @heyletsmakestuf ...

STARGAZING is a gift-style book that introduces stargazing as a way to practice mindfulness. It’s packed with science too!! It’s out in August, and I appreciate any preorders: Amazon | amazon.com/dp/1797221361/ref… B&N | barnesandnoble.com/w/pocket-… Bookshop | bookshop.org/p/books/pocket-…

Is there such a thing as a pocket-portable device that can get library audiobooks (so, Libby and hoopla) but is not a phone?

My son likes Playaways, but the selection is so limited. 😔

Yesterday I was listening to an audiobook while perusing a weaving book. How do I log that for the reading program? 🤔

New linen shirts say to dry flat but I just stuck them in the dryer. 😬

I've grown out my undercut, and I want to keep growing it out, but now it's summer and I can't quite get it off my neck except in pigtails, which don't feel everyday appropriate, so now I'm tempted to cut it all off.

A's 5th grade promotion/graduation was last night, this morning is his last bit of elementary school. It's big and just all around kind of hard to fathom.

It's amazing how much better my brain works when it's not foggy or migrained. Or maybe it isn't.

Asking again: How do you keep track of when your bills need to be paid? Adding quite a few more to the stack this month and feeling the need for a tool to help me stay on top of them.
