Really enjoyed this Articles of Interest episode on the history of zippers. IMO, this is the best clothing-related podcast. Smart, but accessible, and very engaging. New season coming Oct 22nd on how the military and outdoor industry shape what we wear.

What do you mean?

Happy birthday, @jonjones.bsky.social!

I _hate_ this about iPhones. I just want notifications and phone calls muted. That's why I still have media volume up.

I would play this.

Why the quotes?

🐁: “How can I be tall like you?”

🦒 “Everyday I rub some oil on my neck and it starts growing.”

A few weeks later…

🐁: “I tried your suggestion and it didn’t work!”

🦒: “What did you use?”

🐁: “Crisco.”

🦒: “Of course that doesn’t work, silly. That’s shortening.”

This is the stupidest timeline.
