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.

Trans rights are fundamentally threatened. My friends' abilities to travel, to get healthcare, to exist in peace are all under attack. I am so upset about this. But, as a cis ally, why am I so nervous to talk about it? Why am I afraid to appear performative? This is required listening

Thank you @trufelman.bsky.social and articles interest for this fact: the zipper took 5 times as long to perfect as the airplane. Really puts engineering and innovation into perspective

Articles of Interest is my favorite podcast. Two of many reasons: how deep @trufelman.bsky.social dives into the history of zippers here, and the hints of giggle every time she mentions the β€žHookless Hookerβ€œ. Yes, I am that simple sometimes.

For no particular reason, here is @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social at our synagogue,
back in February. He was polling in signal digits, came after a simple invite, not to speak, just to meet our Jewish community.

I also know that he has been at services at CBST ("mainstream?!"), has been at BJ, and >

New Episode: Zippers Perhaps the least-likely invention

TIL the zipper was originally called the Hookless Hooker. Zipper was originally the trade name for a boot with a zip closure.
