#when i played with weird christian kids they wanted us to play 'indians and humans'

[broken-synchronicity]

Did I or did I not wait til feb 22 2022 just to post this whole ass thesis when I found out you added in Biology Au and Twst Thesis on the second of feb 2?

Yes.

And for good reason because I've been reading into demonology, Indian mythos, and how Faeries came to be just to clear their good names.

I’ve been shorthanding Merfolk, Beastmen, and Fae for too damn long but for now, I’m going to focus on Fae because Crowley is a comfort character for me–

I said that faerie were divine or atleast bred with divine beings and such had children who killed their divine parent in order to take their spot— guess who just found out that Faerie are derived from angels/Peri, the story goes that God had casted them out and only by atoning for their sins they will be granted access into paradise, when Islamic beliefs were introduced to Persia, however, they became more benevolent, which comes into play later I swearrr.

Now, I know this is too far into the future and I might be making my own Twst!Faerie mythos up buttttt— what if there were Fae purists? What I mean by this is, let's say Fae were kicked out of paradise (i am not talking monotheism, where there is a singular god just wanted to clear that up, i think Twisted Wonderland was born from primeval magic in the form of multiple god killing each other kinda like Sumerian myth where Tiamat birthed Gods that terafor— i digress)

Okay, so, they were kicked out of paradiso for being too mischievous and with humans, merfolk, and beastmen still being in their developmental stages they were kinda just sitting on rocks and drawing in mud— life’s no fun when you don’t have people on your wavelength you know? Yeah, you can mess with other fae, start a longstanding blood feud with monsters, beasts, and humans but like…. Come on now, they (beastmen, merfolk, humans, monsters) are essentially that weird kid next door with the temperament of a honey badger so they just… lounge around.

See, the thing with apathy especially when you’re waiting for something to happen is that… it changes a person, yeah they might be considered divine but like, divine beings are hella insane and we’re seeing it in the Age of Gods (rip). I mention Apathy because it’s one of the sins of current times along with false morality and the like.

Let’s focus on Apathy– Christian morality dictates that those who exhibit listlessness, lack of care, or are straight up not concerned with their life or position are sinners because if one doesn’t appreciate the life G-d has bestowed upon thee and all that is beautiful then you go directly to hell.

Cool, let’s call these demoted Fae, Acedia fae.

No I am not naming any future fae in this post after the Seven Deadly Sins bc I read Demonology, leave me alone.

Okayyyyy but what does this have to do with Fae purists???

Everything!1! I needed to name my main Fae purists somehow and I gave a messy justification as well.

With the introduction of Dwarves and subsequently Gnomes (guess who found out Fae and gnomes are distant cousins??? Or that Fae are considered the “first” humans as in more human looking which goes against biblically acu— no.) A new perspective was introduced— no, I’m not talking Panic at the disco— the same way Islam had been introduced to Peri in our history.

Achievement unlocked: New purpose.

Acedia ideology started slow, some went back to their roots and thus rediscovered naming ceremonies, some went on to follow other species around mindlessly observing the generations and docking the information in— nothing seriou–

Age of Gods, where I left off.

I should’ve added this into the brain decay but I was making those theories late at night with nothing on the brain but curating a twst society and art history (I will get back on my Artho shit i swearrr) and used ur ask box because i can’t restrain my fingers when it comes to hyperfixations i pick up on the side of the road at three am—-

Age of Gods sparked Acedia beliefs when they realized that they were capable of breeding and having a high birth success rate— it’s like an old [lower] god breeding with a new [upper] god and being like “hm, i could bring my status up.”

I think I mentioned at some point that Faeries broke up and migrated when their magic began to respond to them (smth like that) and I wanna call those Fae, Elementals on the basis that they were wreaking havoc on the environment by shifting them around or straight up fucking it up leaving the flora and fauna there to either migrate, adapt, or straight up die. (what if there were children’s tales that played this up—tundra was created by an ice elemental, desserts by a fire and wind bilqis [usually the considered the failed union between Peri and Human but this is way back then, could make the term worse for whoever its used on])

Age of Gods was def the height of Acedia beliefs when you considered that a God can recognize a God, demihumans, demigods step aside because demifae are here and ready to slay—- not.

When the Age of Gods transitioned into the Age of Heroes and Gods were no longer in style by a majority vote (Merfolk, Human, Beastmen, Dwarves, Gnomes, Faerie, the entire population of Earth v Acedian) I’d say that Gods became more villainous and/or grotesques monsters for the people to defeat and create legends around— The Jabberwocky was an amalgamation of lesser Gods (should’ve stepped their game up and that wouldn’t have happened but nooo)

Thus Acedian beliefs fell off—

What I’m trying to figure out is how draconic fae came to be and how they survived since its said that there’s only a small population of them and Fae usually don’t find the need to procreate/aren’t fertile enough to.

Did Fae….

They fucked the dragons yall ewwwwwwwwww.

Divine beings are nasty as fuckkk.

Anyways. I wanna bring this back to Acedia and how they played a role in Fae beliefs, I've kinda been conflating Unseelie and Acedia together at points and that's bc I kinda believe they are?? Like views shifted around a lot at the time and we notice that Fae only breed with the top dogs while Humans and Beastmen just breed with anything that can get outbred or they go on to murder the unbreedable.

Jabberwocky is not a sexy beast. I am telling you this right now.

I'll say it right now so that the transition to my next ask is coherent but—some dragons are divine and some are just regular degular dragons.

TL;DR: Me creating lore about the Unseelie court in Twst.

I mean, considering it was indeed half past 1 AM for me when I saw these, you made good on that promise 🤣

Roy got a friend

It was the 25th of December 1995. The Indian cricket match was blaring through the cathode ray tube we called a television. Roy sat by the front door. 

Oh by the way, Roy was my brother. Me along with roy, pa, ma, granny and grandpa lived in the suburbs of Bangalore back then. 

It was a dingy little house that barely was good for one person, let alone six. 

“Give me back my HP Pencil Roy, or I will tell ma” I demanded. 

“But I don’t have it. “

“Yeah right you say your friend took it right?”

“yes, Draco. He had a big red cape, big eyes and a long tail”

“Roy, this September you will be ten, please stop acting like a baby”, Ma retorted.

“Okay ma. Sorry, let me get you the pencil”

“Alright”

As Roy left for the veranda and outside to the road, I commented to ma who was busy peeling cucumber skin.

“Ma Roy has done this before too, you need to tell pa once, only then will he learn a lesson”

Everyone feared Pa, especially Roy.

And Like any decent sibling, I had a love-hate relationship with Roy.

It was two days now and my pencil had not yet returned to my possession. I went to pa who was sitting that morning having his cup of coffee before leaving for work.

“Pa, from the last week I have been asking Roy to return my HP pencil, the one that you had got me especially to use for sketching. He is not returning it to me”

“Why did you give it to Roy? Do you know how much I paid for it? You kids don’t know the value of money”

Slightly taken aback and hurt by this unjustified lashing I had received I stated “ It was not my mistake, I told him it is expensive and I will give it to him when he comes to 8th grade. He would not listen, kept telling Draco wanted it.”

“who is Draco?”

“I don’t know, some friend of his.”

“why did he not get any friends from our community? had to make friends with a christian?” Grandma interjected

“Go call Roy, tell him I have to speak with him”

I went to the backyard and found Roy sitting despondent on the community well.

“Chalo Roy, dad is calling you”

“...”

Roy did not respond nor did he turn to see me. Usually by this time especially if pa called, Roy would be in a frenzy. I felt maybe the entire ordeal of lying had exhausted my little brother, so I told him

“Look Roy, lying is bad and I feel you have learnt your lesson. If you come clean with me and pa on what happened to the pencil he will definitely understand and forgive you”

“I asked Draco for the pencil and he told me never to ask for it again, he said it was for my own good”

Now I felt a little eerie. 

“okay....alright, I will play your stupid game, where is this draco, Roy?”

“Draco just left. He is shy and would not talk with anyone else, especially you”

“why not?”

“he thinks you are too bold” 

Me, feeling a little flattered at my infamy (it is weird how we react to infamy, its a vice yet we find it so desirable)

“Ok, next time you meet draco tell him I want to meet him. “

“ok... will pa scold me?”

“Don’t worry little brother, its almost 9, he will leave for work, so for the time being you are safe. But I want to meet this Draco Character. if that understood?”

“Yes”

This was the last we spoke on the matter. The next few days passed by without much action. I too got busy and was really not able to devote time to Roy.

It was over the weekend that pa reminded me.

“Did Roy return your pencil”

It always amazed me how a man so busy still found time to remember such a trifle. 

“No, Shall I get him here”

“ok”

I again went in search of Roy.

Seated on the stairway to the terrace, Roy was playing by himself.

“Roy I need to talk with you”

“...”

“I thought you were going to introduce me to your friend draco”

“He does not want to meet you”

“bull shit, pa is in the house and he just asked about the pencil, you come inside and tell this hogwash to him”

“....”

“Are you coming?”

“Leave me alone, I dont want to talk with anyone”

Being related gives you a sense of authority. Assuming this i clenched Roy’s wrist and yanked him. 

There was a flash that blinded me

That was all I remember.

“Wake up, wake up”

Pa, Ma, grandma, grandpa everyone was peering at me.  

“What happened?”

“You don’t remember? You fainted and started seizing. Thankfully grandma was going to the terrace to dry red chillies and saw you on the floor. “ Ma recapped 

“Where is Roy?”

“All in good time, for now you have to rest. I have also called Dr. Verma to come and check on you.”

“Where is Roy? why are you all not understanding? I went to ask him for the pencil and he did this to me. Don’t you see it? He is in danger. That Draco is evil I tell you pure evil. Pa, please lodge a complaint.”

Pa nodded with tears in his eyes.

“Why is pa crying? why are you all not telling me the truth? Where is Roy?”

At that time I heard a car veer by near our front door.

In came Dr.Verma. Fair, soft-spoken and amiable, he had been our family doctor ever since I could remember.

“So, how is our little hero?”

He always called me “little hero”, Something I never cared either ways.

“I am fine uncle. Please tell Pa that I need to meet Roy immediately. It is urgent you see.”

“Is it? why so?”

I recounted the whole Draco episode to Dr.Verma and in conjunction with my entire family.

“This is extremely peculiar” 

“Where did you say Roy was when you met him?”

“Near the stairway.”

“Fine let us go there” 

“Obviously you won't find him there now”

“Let us check either ways”

We went to the stairway. I pointed out the exact spot where I fainted.

“hmmm ok.”

We returned to the house.

“I am giving you these tablets. Continue them for the next 15 days. This will ensure your seizures will stop”

“Ok uncle”

“Doctor, should we continue his earlier medication?”

“Yes, please that should continue. For the other thing I will set up a meeting next week”

“Ok, thank you”

As the Doctor went outside with Pa, Ma and the others too dispersed. There in the corner by the veranda, he stood, nimble little wretch.

“You just could not shut up, had to tell pa, now he will be angry with me and Draco”

“Roy, you were here the whole time!? I am telling you that Draco is evil look what he did to me!”

“You were being bad, you don’t get Draco”

“I don’t care. Return my pencil Roy!”

Just then I felt faint and again collapsed.

When I next woke up ma was by my side comforting me with pillows and a blanket.

“How you feeling now Beta?”

“I am ok ma, still feeling weak”

Her eyes went moist and a single tear ran down her cheek.

“Do not worry ma, I will speak to this Draco and ask him to leave Roy alone”

She just nodded.

Then I switched on the TV and starting watching. My eyes fell on the Rolodex next to the TV. Maybe I could find someone named Draco there? 

Mustering my strength I reached out to the rolodex and started going through it.

A,B,C,D yes D.....Da,Db,Dc.....Dr....yes.....Draco. Bingo!

But this could not be the Draco I was searching. It was not a person, but an institute of some kind.

DRACO -- development and research asylum for cognition and observation.

No Idea what this meant.

But what I saw next sent a shiver down my spine.

Dr. Verma --- Senior consultant

Now things started to fall in place.

I needed to know more about this Draco.

After pleading ma for hours I finally procured her cell phone. It was easy to reach DRACO’s website. Now all I wanted to check was the about us page.

....

Indeed I thought, what a load of crap. I felt faint and weak, and finally, I lost consciousness.

That was all you got. – J.R. Ward

Art, music, auto mechanics, cooking, sewing, these are all things that can turn into jobs. You know, wood shop, steel shop, welding.

Other things for our word thinkers: journalism clubs, drama clubs. – Temple Grandin • I think one of the worst things schools have done is taken out all of the stuff like art, music, woodworking, sewing, cooking, welding, auto-shop.

If she didn’t like all that baking and cleaning and jumping up to get bottles of nail polish remover and sewing hems, why did she do it? Why didn’t she tell them to do some of the things themselves? Maybe she was afraid there would be nothing left for her to do. There would be no need for her and she would become invisible and no one would notice. – Sharon Creech • I’ve worked in construction, in a factory sewing clothes. I also sold flowers and doughnuts – just odd jobs to try to make 10 pesos, which is equivalent to 20 cents. – Manny Pacquiao • If instead of looking at income, you look at levels of consumption, if anything that’s become more equal. The fraction of families that have a dishwasher, that have a sewing machine, that have a television set.

But I think finally, in a film, it is how the balance is and the feelings are. But I think there has to be those contrasts and strong things within a film for the total experience. – David Lynch • If women were once permitted to read Sophocles and work with logarithms, or to nibble at any side of the apple of knowledge, there would be an end forever to their sewing on buttons and embroidering slippers. – Anna Julia Cooper • If you don’t have experience sewing, start with that, because that will inform what you are able to design. – Tim Gunn • I’m always tinkering with something – suddenly I’ll think I can work with wood, but then I’ll realize I can’t, so I go back to sewing. – Melissa McCarthy • In an age in which the classic words of the Surrealists— ‘As beautiful as the unexpected meeting, on a dissecting table, of a sewing machine and an umbrella’—can become reality and perfectly achievable with an atom bomb, so too has there been a surge of interest in biomechanoids – H. R. Giger • In fact, he’s never taken an interest in a woman before. I was beginning to to suspect he might prefer one of his male sneaks, but now…” She paused dramatically. “Now, we have the lovely, intelligent Yelena to get Valek’s cold heart pumping.” “You really should get out of your sewing room more. You need fresh air and a dose of reality,” I said knowing better than to believe a word Dilana said, but unable to control the silly little grin on my face. Her sweet, melodious laughter followed me into the hallway. “You know I’m right, ” she called. – Maria V. Snyder • In Seattle you haven’t had enough coffee until you can thread a sewing machine while it’s running. – Jeff Bezos • In some hotels they give you a little sewing kit. You know what I do?

But I would have to say my first real amateur endeavor would have to be drawing, designing and then literally cutting and sewing every piece of costume for my first band I formed in Hollywood. – Ashley Purdy • I’ve had to guess at her, sewing her skin together as I sew mine, though with a different stitch. – Adrienne Rich • Kids think with their brains cracked wide open; becoming an adult, I’ve decided, is only a slow sewing shut. – Jodi Picoult • Like all our memories, we like to take it out once in a while and lay it flat on the kitchen table, the way my wife does with her sewing patterns, where we line up the shape of our lives against that which we thought it would be by now. – Claire Vaye Watkins • Mama sewed the rags together, sewing every piece with love. She made my coat of many colors that I was proud of. – Dolly Parton • Mama’s love had always been the kind that acted itself out with soup pot and sewing basket. But now that these things were taken away, the love seemed as whole as before. She sat in her chair at the window and loved us. She loved the people she saw in the street– and beyond: her love took in the city, the land of Holland, the world. And so I learned that love is larger than the walls which shut it in. – Corrie Ten Boom • Motherhood is a Sisyphean task. You finish sewing one seam shut, and another rips open. I have come to believe that this life I’m wearing will never really fit. – Jodi Picoult • My grandmother raised five children during the Depression by herself. At 50, she threw her sewing machine into the back of a pickup truck and drove from North Dakota to California. She was a real survivor, so that’s my stock. That’s how I want my kids to be too. – Michelle Pfeiffer • My mother was kept very busy with her sewing; sometimes she would have another woman helping her. – James Weldon Johnson • My regular life today is reading books, making dolls houses, sewing dolls with my daughter and barbequing. – Milla Jovovich • No one expects a woman busy at her sewing to pay attention to what’s being said around her. Nevermind if a man’s mother and sister showerd them they heard everything while they stictched, he’ll still think a woman who plies her needles saves all her brains for the work. You’re a far better spy hemming sheets than if you clank with daggers. – Tamora Pierce • One has to watch out for engineers. They begin with the sewing machine and end up with the atomic bomb. – Marcel Pagnol • Poetry is a bad medium for philosophy. Everything in the philosophical poem has to satisfy irreconcilable requirements: for instance, the last demand that we should make of philosophy (that it be interesting) is the first we make of a poem; the philosophical poet has an elevated and methodical, but forlorn and absurd air as he works away at his flying tank, his sewing-machine that also plays the piano. – Randall Jarrell • Radio, sewing machine, bookends, ironing board and that great big piano lamp – peace, that’s what I like. Butterbean vines planted all along the front where the strings are. – Eudora Welty • Rings and jewels are not gifts, but apologies for gifts. The only gift is a portion of thyself. Thou must bleed for me. Therefore the poet brings his poem; the shepherd, his lamb; the farmer, corn; the miner, a stone; the painter, his picture; the girl, a handkerchief of her own sewing. – Ralph Waldo Emerson • So here I am, sending a two-ounce mouse down into a dungeon with a sewing needle to save a human princess, and I don’t know how in the world he’s going to do it. I have no idea. That was the first time it occurred to me that writing the story was roughly equivalent to Despereaux’s descent into the dungeon. I was tremendously aware of that as I was writing. I thought, “I have to be brave or else I’m not going to be able to tell it.” But it’s the only way that I can write. If I know what’s going to happen, I’m not interested in telling the story. – Kate DiCamillo • Some women don’t care how their quilts look. They piece the squares together any sort of way, but she couldn’t stand careless sewing. She wanted her quilts, and Joy’s, made right. Quilts stay a long time after people are gone from this world, and witness about them for good or bad. She wanted people to see, when she was gone, that she’d never been a shiftless or don’t-care woman. – Julia Peterkin • Talking things over has its place in an organization [but] so-called conferences are being grossly overdone. One executive stops at the desk of another to tell him, perhaps, about the wonderful score he made at golf on Saturday afternoon. This chin-chin immediately becomes a conference, and neither the office boy nor the telephone operator must disturb either gentleman. More idle gossip is indulged in at many business conferences these days than an old wives’ sewing circle would be guilty of. – B. C. Forbes • Tanya Ward Goodman, writing with a big heart, clear eyes, and a light touch, allows us a privileged glimpse into the shabby, enchanted world of traveling carnivals, roadside attractions, and a beloved, eccentric father’s descent into Alzheimers. Just as her dad animated the handcarved, miniature western world of Tinkertown from coat hangers, inner tubes and old sewing machine motors, Tanya Ward Goodman has fashioned her complex and often hilarious memories into a beguiling, wry, and moving work of art. – Michelle Huneven • The chilly December day! two shivering bicycle mechanics from Dayton, Ohio first felt their homemade contraption whittled out of hickory sticks, gummed together with Arnstein’s bicycle cement, stretched with muslin they’d sewn on their sister’s sewing machine in their own backyard on Hawthorn Street in Dayton, Ohio, soar into the air above the dunes and the wide beach at Kitty Hawk. – John Dos Passos • The point is that no matter what you choose to do with your body when you die, it won’t, ultimately, be very appealing. If you are inclined to donate yourself to science, you should not let images of dissection or dismemberment put you off. They are no more or less gruesome, in my opinion, than ordinary decay or the sewing shut of your jaws via your nostrils for a funeral viewing. – Mary Roach • The sewing machine joins what the scissors have cut asunder, plus whatever else comes in its path. – Mason Cooley • There are only three American names that are known in every corner of the globe: Singer sewing machines, Coca Cola and Elizabeth Arden. – Elizabeth Arden • There’s one little room in my house which is filled with all my clutter and bits and pieces. My sewing machine is up there, and all my knitting stuff. Its a place where I can go to relax and unwind. I don’t get to spend a lot of time up there, but at least I know its there. – Julia Roberts • There’s something very intimate about taking someone’s work, turning it over and unpicking it. In the same way people have unique handwriting people have a sewing style. You do start building a fantasy relationship with the person. – Matt Smith • What does this patch-sewing mean you ask? Eating and drinking. The heavy cloak of the body is always getting torn. You patch it with food and other ego-satisfactions. – Rumi • What you do in the present—by painting, preaching, singing, sewing, praying, teaching, building hospitals, digging wells, campaigning for justice, writing poems, caring for the needy, loving your neighbor as yourself—will last into God’s future. These activities are not simply ways of making the present life a little less beastly, a little more bearable, until the day when we leave it behind altogether. They are part of what we may call building for God’s kingdom. – N. T. Wright • When I moved out of my mom’s house at 18 I was almost as sad to leave her sewing machine behind as anything else. – Beth Ditto • When poets go off the boil, they sound like bumble bees; when critics do, they sound like sewing machines. • When you are a kid you have your own language, and unlike French or Spanish or whatever you start learning in fourth grade, this one you are born with, and eventually lose…Kids think with their brains cracked wide open; becoming an adult…is only a slow sewing it shut. – Jodi Picoult • Writing is like anything – baseball playing, piano playing, sewing, hammering nails. The more you work on it, the better you get. But it seems to take a longer time to get better at writing than hammering nails. – Betsy Byars • Writing is very improvisational. It’s like trying to fix a broken sewing machine with safety pins and rubber bands. A lot of tinkering. – Margaret Atwood • You know how people love to glamorize poverty? There’s nothing glamorous about it. But it did make me really creative. Those days, I was literally taking t-shirts in the day and sewing them back together to make dresses for the night. – Beth Ditto • You sweat out the free agent thing in November, then you make the trades in December. Then you struggle to sign the guys left in January, and in February I get down to sewing all the new numbers on the uniforms. – Whitey Herzog

Official Website: Sewing Quotes

• A good use for me is to let me go away with my sewing machine and come back with some really new stuff. – Betsey Johnson • A tranquil woman can go on sewing longer than an angry man can go on fuming. – George Bernard Shaw • All the asylum clothing is made by the patients, but sewing does not employ one’s mind. After several months’ confinement the thoughts of the busy world grow faint, and all the poor prisoners can do is to sit and ponder over their hopeless fate – Nellie Bly • Among the worst examples is that of the Alberni Indian Residential School (British Columbia) where, during the 1920s, children caught talking Indian suffered the hideous ordeal of having sewing needles pushed through their tongues. – Ward Churchill • Any fool can make a quilt; and, after we had made a couple of dozen over twenty years ago, we quit the business with a conviction that nobody but a fool would spend so much time in cutting bits of dry goods into yet small bits and sewing them together again, just for the sake of making believe that they were busy at practical work. – Abigail Scott Duniway • As beautiful as the chance encounter of a sewing machine and an umbrella on an operating table. – Isidore Ducasse Lautreamont

Sophie hurriedly put her sewing away. “I’ll make some hot buttered toast,” she said. “Is that all you can do in the face of tragedy??” Howl asked. “Make toast! – Diana Wynne Jones • Comparing science and religion isn’t like comparing apples and oranges – it’s more like apples and sewing machines. – Jack Horner • Conversion is not a repairing of the old building, but it takes all down and erects a new structure. It is not the sewing on a patch of holiness; but, with the true convert, holiness is woven into all his powers, principles and practice. – Joseph Alleine

[clickbank-storefront-bestselling] • Destiny was a machine built over time, each choice that you made in life adding another gear, another conveyor belt, another assemblyman. Where you ended up was the product that was spit out at the end—and there was no going back for a redo. You couldn‟t take a peek at what you‟d manufactured and decide, Oh, wait, I wanted to make sewing machines instead of machine guns; let me go back to the beginning and start again. One shot. That was all you got. – J.R. Ward

• Even though I’m resting I’m accomplishing something by sewing that shirt that I’ve been meaning to sew for weeks. And it’s relaxing. It’s so very meditative and quiet and enjoyable. But at least I’m producing something. I’m being productive in some way. I have a very hard time being completely idle. – Evangeline Lilly • For a long time Christianity has sewn its teachings into the fabric of Western culture. That was a good thing …. But the season of sewing is ending. Now is a time for rending, not for the sake of disengaging from culture or retreating from the public square, but so that our salt does not lose its savor. – R. R. Reno • From about eight years old I was always making things on the sewing machine. Friends would see me making dresses and costumes, and I’d use difficult fabrics such as Lycra and elastic. But you know, my dad was creative and my brother is inventive too. – Melissa George • God is not remote from us. He is at the point of my pen, my (pick) shovel, my paint brush, my (sewing) needle – and my heart and thoughts. – Pierre Teilhard de Chardin • Grace cannot wipe out the law of sewing and reaping. – Rod Parsley • He [my father] didn’t have a basement workshop as such, but I know that he did build things, construct things, repair things. My mother, likewise, was sewing and doing activities that often take place in a household. – Paul Smith • Here she was, being rescued by a socialist, feminist, lesbian, baby-killing, foreign terrorist. What would the ladies in the sewing circle say to that? – Hillary Jordan • How odd it is that sewing is thought to be ‘women’s work’ when surgeons, sailors, and cowboys sew too. Yet how many female thoracic surgeons are there? And if precision motor activities are thought to be performed better by women, why wouldn’t they make better surgeons too? – Gretel Ehrlich • I actually wanted to be a fashion designer. I did a lot with the sewing machine at home – – for Barbie or for carnival or just for fun. Then I saw this ad in the newspaper. And as young girls sometimes do some stupid things, I filled in the coupon and sent in my photos. – Heidi Klum • I always had the fear of being separated and abandoned. The sewing is my attempt to keep things together and make things whole. – Louise Bourgeois • I am certain that a Sewing Machine would relieve as much human suffering as a hundred Lunatic Asylums, and possibly a good deal more. – Margaret Atwood • I am told by those who know that there are six varieties of hangover-the Broken Compass, the Sewing Machine, the Comet, the Atomic, the Cement Mixer and the Gremlin Boogie, and his manner suggested that he had got them all. – P. G. Wodehouse • I come from a family of musicians. Even the sewing machine is a Singer. – Frank Carson • I don’t collect things per se, but I do pick up things as I go. Like, in my studio I have an old sewing machine from Germany that my dad gave me, and then something else that I got from a friend in India, and a piece of flooring from one of my shows. – Jason Wu • I don’t like sewing machines. I don’t understand how a needle with a thread going through the tip of it can interlock the thread by jamming itself into a little goddamn spool. It’s contrary to nature and it irritates me. – Neal Stephenson • I don’t really have a domestic inclination. Even my apartment has a semblance of a storage facility. It’s just stacks, there are no bookshelves, just books and piles of stamp collections and weird little sewing and knitting projects. – Sufjan Stevens • I feel like I am always the one tearing everything up and forever sewing it back together. – Saadat Hasan Manto • I hate a woman who offers herself because she ought to do so, and cold and dry thinks of her sewing when making love. – Ovid • I have a great admiration and tenderness for Azzedine Alaia. I haven’t seen him in a while, but I guess he must be still sewing some dresses at night. – Hedi Slimane • I have an iPod, but I do still love CDs. There’s something nice and tangible about a CD. I’m a mixture of old and new – I love my sewing machine, but I’ve also embraced new technology. The iPad is what did it for me – it’s extraordinary. – Twiggy • I have written most of my melodies walking and I feel it is definitely one of the most helpful ways of sewing all of the different things in your life together and seeing the whole picture. – Bjork • I need a little language such as lovers use, words of one syllable such as children speak when they come into the room and find their mother sewing and pick up some scrap of bright wool, a feather, or a shred of chintz. I need a howl; a cry. When the storm crosses the marsh and sweeps over me where I lie in the ditch unregarded I need no words. Nothing neat. Nothing that comes down with all its feet on the floor. None of those resonances and lovely echoes that break and chime from nerve to nerve in our breasts making wild music, false phrases. I have done with phrases. – Virginia Woolf • I preferred sewing to bossing little children. – Mother Jones • I remember an old Singer sewing machine at home that belonged to my grandmother. It had a pedal. My mom taught me how to use it when I was 12 years old. I used to find it so intriguing, how a flat piece of material could be made into an object that had so many uses. – Bibhu Mohapatra • I stand before you as the governor of Texas but also stand before you the son of two tenant farmers. Ray Perry who came home after 35 bombing missions over Europe to work his little corner of land out there and Amelia who made sure that my sister Milla and I had everything that we needed, included hand sewing my clothes until I went off to college. – Rick Perry • I started designing and getting into cutting and sewing, I also started learning how to do patterns and tech packs. From there I transitioned from challenging myself to make T-shirts to starting to make custom pieces for celebrities. – Fred Foster • I think it’s a real shame so many schools have taken out the hands-on classes. Art, music, auto mechanics, cooking, sewing, these are all things that can turn into jobs. You know, wood shop, steel shop, welding. These are all things that can turn into great careers, get kids interested. Things they can do with other students. Other things for our word thinkers: journalism clubs, drama clubs. – Temple Grandin • I think one of the worst things schools have done is taken out all of the stuff like art, music, woodworking, sewing, cooking, welding, auto-shop. All these things you can turn into careers. How can you get interested in these careers if you don’t try them on a little bit? – Temple Grandin • I took my husband to the hospital yesterday to have 17 stitches out – that’ll teach him to buy me a sewing kit for my birthday. – Jo Brand • I use filming as an excuse to take classes. I got my certification in sailing for ‘Wedding Crashers,’ and now I can handle a 26-foot boat. I played a seamstress once, so I took sewing classes. I love dipping into these other lives. – Rachel McAdams • I was never really that great at sewing, but I had a good idea of what I wanted things to look like. – Bethany Cosentino • I wondered about Mrs. Winterbottom and what she meant about living a tiny life. If she didn’t like all that baking and cleaning and jumping up to get bottles of nail polish remover and sewing hems, why did she do it? Why didn’t she tell them to do some of the things themselves? Maybe she was afraid there would be nothing left for her to do. There would be no need for her and she would become invisible and no one would notice. – Sharon Creech • I’ve worked in construction, in a factory sewing clothes. I also sold flowers and doughnuts – just odd jobs to try to make 10 pesos, which is equivalent to 20 cents. – Manny Pacquiao • If instead of looking at income, you look at levels of consumption, if anything that’s become more equal. The fraction of families that have a dishwasher, that have a sewing machine, that have a television set. In respect to consumption, it’s very hard to avoid the view that people have been getting more equal rather than more unequal. – Milton Friedman • If the sewing societies, the avails of whose industry are now expended in supporting and educating young men for the ministry, were to withdraw their contributions to these objects, and give them where they are more needed, to their advancement of their own sex in useful learning, the next generation might furnish sufficient proof, that in intelligence and ability to master the whole circle of sciences, woman is not inferior to man. – Sarah Moore Grimke • If we didn’t want to upset anyone, we would make films about sewing, but even that could be dangerous. But I think finally, in a film, it is how the balance is and the feelings are. But I think there has to be those contrasts and strong things within a film for the total experience. – David Lynch • If women were once permitted to read Sophocles and work with logarithms, or to nibble at any side of the apple of knowledge, there would be an end forever to their sewing on buttons and embroidering slippers. – Anna Julia Cooper • If you don’t have experience sewing, start with that, because that will inform what you are able to design. – Tim Gunn • I’m always tinkering with something – suddenly I’ll think I can work with wood, but then I’ll realize I can’t, so I go back to sewing. – Melissa McCarthy • In an age in which the classic words of the Surrealists— ‘As beautiful as the unexpected meeting, on a dissecting table, of a sewing machine and an umbrella’—can become reality and perfectly achievable with an atom bomb, so too has there been a surge of interest in biomechanoids – H. R. Giger • In fact, he’s never taken an interest in a woman before. I was beginning to to suspect he might prefer one of his male sneaks, but now…” She paused dramatically. “Now, we have the lovely, intelligent Yelena to get Valek’s cold heart pumping.” “You really should get out of your sewing room more. You need fresh air and a dose of reality,” I said knowing better than to believe a word Dilana said, but unable to control the silly little grin on my face. Her sweet, melodious laughter followed me into the hallway. “You know I’m right, ” she called. – Maria V. Snyder • In Seattle you haven’t had enough coffee until you can thread a sewing machine while it’s running. – Jeff Bezos • In some hotels they give you a little sewing kit. You know what I do? I sew the towels together. One time I sewed a button on a lampshade. I like to leave a mark. – George Carlin • I’ve always been altering clothing my entire life. But I would have to say my first real amateur endeavor would have to be drawing, designing and then literally cutting and sewing every piece of costume for my first band I formed in Hollywood. – Ashley Purdy • I’ve had to guess at her, sewing her skin together as I sew mine, though with a different stitch. – Adrienne Rich • Kids think with their brains cracked wide open; becoming an adult, I’ve decided, is only a slow sewing shut. – Jodi Picoult • Like all our memories, we like to take it out once in a while and lay it flat on the kitchen table, the way my wife does with her sewing patterns, where we line up the shape of our lives against that which we thought it would be by now. – Claire Vaye Watkins • Mama sewed the rags together, sewing every piece with love. She made my coat of many colors that I was proud of. – Dolly Parton • Mama’s love had always been the kind that acted itself out with soup pot and sewing basket. But now that these things were taken away, the love seemed as whole as before. She sat in her chair at the window and loved us. She loved the people she saw in the street– and beyond: her love took in the city, the land of Holland, the world. And so I learned that love is larger than the walls which shut it in. – Corrie Ten Boom • Motherhood is a Sisyphean task. You finish sewing one seam shut, and another rips open. I have come to believe that this life I’m wearing will never really fit. – Jodi Picoult • My grandmother raised five children during the Depression by herself. At 50, she threw her sewing machine into the back of a pickup truck and drove from North Dakota to California. She was a real survivor, so that’s my stock. That’s how I want my kids to be too. – Michelle Pfeiffer • My mother was kept very busy with her sewing; sometimes she would have another woman helping her. – James Weldon Johnson • My regular life today is reading books, making dolls houses, sewing dolls with my daughter and barbequing. – Milla Jovovich • No one expects a woman busy at her sewing to pay attention to what’s being said around her. Nevermind if a man’s mother and sister showerd them they heard everything while they stictched, he’ll still think a woman who plies her needles saves all her brains for the work. You’re a far better spy hemming sheets than if you clank with daggers. – Tamora Pierce • One has to watch out for engineers. They begin with the sewing machine and end up with the atomic bomb. – Marcel Pagnol • Poetry is a bad medium for philosophy. Everything in the philosophical poem has to satisfy irreconcilable requirements: for instance, the last demand that we should make of philosophy (that it be interesting) is the first we make of a poem; the philosophical poet has an elevated and methodical, but forlorn and absurd air as he works away at his flying tank, his sewing-machine that also plays the piano. – Randall Jarrell • Radio, sewing machine, bookends, ironing board and that great big piano lamp – peace, that’s what I like. Butterbean vines planted all along the front where the strings are. – Eudora Welty • Rings and jewels are not gifts, but apologies for gifts. The only gift is a portion of thyself. Thou must bleed for me. Therefore the poet brings his poem; the shepherd, his lamb; the farmer, corn; the miner, a stone; the painter, his picture; the girl, a handkerchief of her own sewing. – Ralph Waldo Emerson • So here I am, sending a two-ounce mouse down into a dungeon with a sewing needle to save a human princess, and I don’t know how in the world he’s going to do it. I have no idea. That was the first time it occurred to me that writing the story was roughly equivalent to Despereaux’s descent into the dungeon. I was tremendously aware of that as I was writing. I thought, “I have to be brave or else I’m not going to be able to tell it.” But it’s the only way that I can write. If I know what’s going to happen, I’m not interested in telling the story. – Kate DiCamillo • Some women don’t care how their quilts look. They piece the squares together any sort of way, but she couldn’t stand careless sewing. She wanted her quilts, and Joy’s, made right. Quilts stay a long time after people are gone from this world, and witness about them for good or bad. She wanted people to see, when she was gone, that she’d never been a shiftless or don’t-care woman. – Julia Peterkin • Talking things over has its place in an organization [but] so-called conferences are being grossly overdone. One executive stops at the desk of another to tell him, perhaps, about the wonderful score he made at golf on Saturday afternoon. This chin-chin immediately becomes a conference, and neither the office boy nor the telephone operator must disturb either gentleman. More idle gossip is indulged in at many business conferences these days than an old wives’ sewing circle would be guilty of. – B. C. Forbes • Tanya Ward Goodman, writing with a big heart, clear eyes, and a light touch, allows us a privileged glimpse into the shabby, enchanted world of traveling carnivals, roadside attractions, and a beloved, eccentric father’s descent into Alzheimers. Just as her dad animated the handcarved, miniature western world of Tinkertown from coat hangers, inner tubes and old sewing machine motors, Tanya Ward Goodman has fashioned her complex and often hilarious memories into a beguiling, wry, and moving work of art. – Michelle Huneven • The chilly December day! two shivering bicycle mechanics from Dayton, Ohio first felt their homemade contraption whittled out of hickory sticks, gummed together with Arnstein’s bicycle cement, stretched with muslin they’d sewn on their sister’s sewing machine in their own backyard on Hawthorn Street in Dayton, Ohio, soar into the air above the dunes and the wide beach at Kitty Hawk. – John Dos Passos • The point is that no matter what you choose to do with your body when you die, it won’t, ultimately, be very appealing. If you are inclined to donate yourself to science, you should not let images of dissection or dismemberment put you off. They are no more or less gruesome, in my opinion, than ordinary decay or the sewing shut of your jaws via your nostrils for a funeral viewing. – Mary Roach • The sewing machine joins what the scissors have cut asunder, plus whatever else comes in its path. – Mason Cooley • There are only three American names that are known in every corner of the globe: Singer sewing machines, Coca Cola and Elizabeth Arden. – Elizabeth Arden • There’s one little room in my house which is filled with all my clutter and bits and pieces. My sewing machine is up there, and all my knitting stuff. Its a place where I can go to relax and unwind. I don’t get to spend a lot of time up there, but at least I know its there. – Julia Roberts • There’s something very intimate about taking someone’s work, turning it over and unpicking it. In the same way people have unique handwriting people have a sewing style. You do start building a fantasy relationship with the person. – Matt Smith • What does this patch-sewing mean you ask? Eating and drinking. The heavy cloak of the body is always getting torn. You patch it with food and other ego-satisfactions. – Rumi • What you do in the present—by painting, preaching, singing, sewing, praying, teaching, building hospitals, digging wells, campaigning for justice, writing poems, caring for the needy, loving your neighbor as yourself—will last into God’s future. These activities are not simply ways of making the present life a little less beastly, a little more bearable, until the day when we leave it behind altogether. They are part of what we may call building for God’s kingdom. – N. T. Wright • When I moved out of my mom’s house at 18 I was almost as sad to leave her sewing machine behind as anything else. – Beth Ditto • When poets go off the boil, they sound like bumble bees; when critics do, they sound like sewing machines. • When you are a kid you have your own language, and unlike French or Spanish or whatever you start learning in fourth grade, this one you are born with, and eventually lose…Kids think with their brains cracked wide open; becoming an adult…is only a slow sewing it shut. – Jodi Picoult • Writing is like anything – baseball playing, piano playing, sewing, hammering nails. The more you work on it, the better you get. But it seems to take a longer time to get better at writing than hammering nails. – Betsy Byars • Writing is very improvisational. It’s like trying to fix a broken sewing machine with safety pins and rubber bands. A lot of tinkering. – Margaret Atwood • You know how people love to glamorize poverty? There’s nothing glamorous about it. But it did make me really creative. Those days, I was literally taking t-shirts in the day and sewing them back together to make dresses for the night. – Beth Ditto • You sweat out the free agent thing in November, then you make the trades in December. Then you struggle to sign the guys left in January, and in February I get down to sewing all the new numbers on the uniforms. – Whitey Herzog
