What the Technofascists and Religious Fanatics Have in Common: End Days Theology Silicon Valley elite want to β€œdisrupt” democracy with feudalism. Understanding their new and evolving ideology is critical to grappling with what’s happening in the U.S. today.

I don't really know how to feel about the fact that all the weird threads I've been following for the past 20 years are suddenly coming together in a truly unsettling knot, but maybe I can at least help to connect the dots in a somewhat useful way? drilled.media/news/network...

Two photos and an engraving of a Princess Lace Winder, a bobbin-lace bobbin winder meant to clamp onto the handwheel of a treadle sewing machine.
I want it. If you spot one, send it to me!

Please enjoy the collision of two of my obsessions, #Bobbin Lace and #VintageSewingMachines, in the form of this lace-bobbin winder that is meant to clamp on the balance wheel of a sewing machine:

Starting a new freehand binche lace piece. I have no idea how it will evolve or how well I’ll stick to the sketch. #lace #dentelle #bobbinlace #fiberart

Hello! I’m a bobbin lace artist interested in the history of lacemaking. I’m also in love with anything related to growing and spinning flax. I’m hoping to use this platform to exchange with other textile artists ! Are there any lacemakers out there ? #bobbinlace #textiles #fiberart
