The 33 Project

Hello hello. I’ve just lit my periodical room candle and am ready for the day! Want to start with a quick happy belated b-day to both my mom Myla and my aunt Ivy. Double whammy yesterday. We celebrated by torturing ourselves through Maestro. Tonight is a fancy dinner, don’t worry.

Otherwise it’s been a week! Editing on editing on editing. It seems to never stop. Trying to finish out projects as the year comes to a close. It’s going to be right up to the last minute! Oh well!

Let’s get into the recs…

1/ Earlier this week I finished reading, and loved, The Right to Sex: Feminism in the Twenty-First Century. So smart, so interesting. A true must read for feminists trying to live in contemporary times. So insightful.

2/ Thought this was a fabulous thread on fashion and how fabrics have changed over time making it so people don’t look as nice. Specifically with mens suits.

Fabrics come in a variety of weights. In Europe, this is measured in grams per square meter (GSM). In the US, it’s measured in ounces per square yard. At a traditional tailor’s workshop, midweight fabrics are 14oz. Lightweight is 12oz and below; heavy is 16oz and above.
