One side effect of my research for this novel being steeped heavily in textile history is my swelling disgust with modern fabrics.
Firstly they're so thin? Like most things you see in Old Navy or even department stores might as well be tissue paper?? Even some branded sports t-shirts I've bought in recent years (that are supposed to be 'official apparel' and allegedly decent quality) are definitely not going to hold up more than a year or two without getting little holes from wear.
This side of even two hundred years ago fabrics were made to be used for YEARS, and that's with wearing them way more often because you only owned like three sets of clothes. They were thick and well made and most importantly made to LAST. And they were gorgeous?? Some of the weaves were so fine and the drape so buttery we still don't entirely know how these people managed to make them BY HAND. Not to mention intricate patterning and details that turned even some simple garments into freaking ART.
I know this is not news, the fast fashion phenomenon is well documented. Reading so much about the amazing fabrics we used to create and how we cherished and valued them, though, is making it hard not to mourn what we lost to mass production and capitalism. Not just the quality of the clothing and fabrics themselves, but the generations of knowledge and techniques that are just gone. It makes me what to cry.
I need to get a sewing machine.

Jeanne Viscérial, Avant de voir le jour at the Musée du Vieux Nîmes, part of La Contemporaine de Nîmes.
April 25, 2024. Today, I was asked to do a guided visit on an exposition I had yet to work on, much less see. It was only a half hour long and I had two and a half hours to prepare it. To my great surprise, it went really well! Only three ladies followed along but they were very receptive (or at the very least very kind).

Periods are probably more likely to be irregular in the wasteland due to radiation and the various levels of food insecurity and S T R E S S.
But I wonder if everyone's just free bleeding or if they've reinvented pads.
Cause like depending on where you are you don't wanna waste clean water on cleaning reusable pads. But at the same time I can not IMAGINE the sort of wasteland fuck off diseases and mutations that'd result from pads cleaned with dirty AND irradiated water with who fucking knows trace amounts of FEV floating in it with the microplastics

Thinking a lot about the 1830s and 1840s, recurring subjects on this blog that I approach almost exclusively through fashion/material culture and popular entertainment. Because I'd rather write about Fancy Gentlemen's Clothes and novels than the grim reality of those decades for most people who lived in them—starkly reinforced as I was working on school things last night, all about the mid-19th century United States.
The professor shared an article about the Panic of 1837, a financial crisis in the United States (that Captain Marryat also described in his Diary in America). American children born in the 1840s were 5 centimetres shorter than children born 10-15 years earlier, blamed on the nutritional hardship of the bad times (the "hungry forties" in Great Britain). It was astonishing to me for two reasons: that the physical impact was so great, and that there was enough biometric data collected to make that discovery.
"For complex reasons" the sale of Opium to China (pre-First Opium War) is implicated in the Panic of '37, there's a lot about enslaved labour and the products of enslaved labour in the USA; also rich people making bad decisions with imaginary money causing general misery and crushing labour movements of the 1830s because Oh No The Economy no time to care about human rights!!
Maybe there are some different words, but I know the tune of this song.

Whyyyyyyyyy do companies insist on making bedsheets that are cotton mixed with a plastic like polyester!!!! When I ask for cotton bedsheets I mean I want 100% cotton bedsheets not 52% polyester 48% cotton!! Like I get that cotton is not that environmentally friendly in terms of water use but at least once the bedsheets reach the end of their life they can be recycled easily or composted because it’s an organic material. Also I have cotton bedsheets that are genuinely decades old and they’re still going strong and they’ve been used and washed a lot! So I know that good quality bedsheets will last a very long time and they feel much nicer

historical sewing people recognizing that the quality of industrially produced fabric has fallen precipitously since the advent of mechanization but due to no material analysis in their brains can’t seem to figure out why and frame it as some moral societal failing
