And most of them are more informative than anything funded by a studio.

its crazy that a lot of what we call 'video essays' these days are basically low budget documentaries on increasingly weird and niche topics. no network approval no tv budget just one guy with maybe a hired editor/writer and a couple of friends willing to read voice lines. and then they put it on youtube like its no big deal. insane.

at a conference I attended recently, a researcher pointed to the difficulty of finding material in archives because so much depends on the metadata and the terminology used to describe things changes over time. "it would be so helpful," the researcher said, "if I typed 'lesbian' into the library of congress database, it would also show me results that were categorised in the 50s, when the materials were interpreted as 'intimate female friendships'"

which is what tag wrangles at Archive Of Our Own do incredibly effectively: searching for "omegaverse" also leads to "alpha/beta/omega dynamics" and "alternate universe: a/b/o" and so on. but ao3 achieves this frankly incredible categorisation and indexing system by the power of countless volunteers putting in hours and hours of unpaid and unthanked free time, and it's completely understandable that most archives do not have that kind of infrastructure, but also how incredible that a fan-run website has better searchability, classification, and accessibility than the library of congress

How people react when you try to speak their language. (France, LOL!) I had 5yrs. of French. I can sort of read it, but I can't speak it.

Finally got some pictures of the black patchwork jacket on me! Unfortunately the different textures didn't really show up in the full body shots on account of the background being too light, so I'll have to try some other time with a dark background.

They showed up pretty nicely in the closeups though. All the silk satin and wool and corduroy and ribbed cotton and other stuff. Mostly scraps from projects I've done over the years, plus a few little offcuts from nice black wool pants I've hemmed at work. I covered all the buttons in black cotton velvet.

This was my first time making this style of cuff and I think it turned out very nice.
