I don’t find much hope in the Myth of Sisyphus (trying to be happy with performing the same routine over and over) but I do find hope in the Tolkien-esque idea of continuing to push forward against all odds because the work will mean something one day. Even if you never see it.

When disabled people oppose Assisted Dying, it’s almost never from a religious point of view. It’s not because we’re anti-choice or that we want to force people to suffer. We oppose it because society devalues disabled lives and uses these programs in an unethical manner. They become eugenics. 🧵

Love these photos of a gansey sweater over at Highland Threads. Such great knitting. A gansey is a type of fisherman sweater with identical front and back sides. Last photo shows one from Flamborough Marine, my favorite contemporary maker for this style. highlandthreads.co.uk/wick-museum

“If you’re really that sick you should be in the hospital” Please stop saying this to chronically ill people. If we went to the hospital every time we suffered, we would live there. Hospitals can’t help us and they often make us worse. We are on our own, and being subtly gaslit doesn’t help.

It's great to see tailoring accommodate such extreme movement today. This level of tailoring was a bit more common in the past, as you can see in old films featuring Fred Astaire or Gene Kelly, but many modern suits will lift off the wearer's neck even when they're just walking.

The thing about legalizing assisted suicide (aside from just being inherently inhumane) is that no matter how often its supporters insist there will be guardrails to prevent unnecessary deaths, it pretty much always ends up pressuring the poor and disabled to “stop being burdens on society.”

Visited the most beautiful library in my country and one of its most important cultural heritage institutions: the National Library of Finland. 🤎 The floor plan is inspired by the bathhouses of Ancient Rome, and its collection includes 3 million books and 3 million other publications.

The interior of the National Libary of Finland, with rows of bookshelves on three floors, tall columns, and a vaulted ceiling with decorative arches.

Another part of the National Library, with multiple levels surrounding a central atrium and a large oval window overhead.

Eugene said it's no wonder that luxury sales continue to fall, especially for mega corps. As prices climb, people start to wonder what they're actually paying for. The cost-of-living today can make people want to get the most out of their spending, so they comparison shop online.

Since most people today shop online, these items arrive to you through the same process that you receive junk mail and self-heating coffee mugs. There's no real experience at all. Yet, luxury prices climb up every year without any innovation in either product or presentation.

But today, both facets are increasingly dumbed down. On Balanciaga's website, you can find $1,650 cotton rugby (mislabeled polo) and $1,090 Carhartt-style workwear shirts. There's very little innovation aside from slapping on a label.
