@ai6yr Wool is the most common fabric for men’s suits for year-round use. Lightweight worsted wool can be reasonably cool in summer (as suits go). And back in the day, wool was often used for sports clothing (eg, cycling jerseys).
@mattblaze @ai6yr Wool is a very useful fabric.

The bald eagle was considered but the plan got scrapped due to practical issues.

Our Common Language Is Resistance: Life Inside Prosfygika
Beyond Prosfygika’s walls lies something far more ambitious than a mere housing project: a living demonstration that an alternative way of organizing daily life is not only possible but already underway. This is precisely what the eviction plan is willing to erase.

On this bit though, I'm back to agreeing enthusiastically;
"And that there has to be some type of break from the past, and there has to be some radical change in how we govern ourselves ..."
#MatthewHooten, 2026
I imagine Hooten and I have wildly different ideas about what radical change would look like. But maybe there's an alternative to duking it out in an adversarial system, heavily distorted as it's become by a range of outside influences.

Imagine if we used a citizen's assembly to come up with a set of political-economic arrangements we can all live with. It couldn't be any worse than mutually assured decline, which is what NZ politics has been reduced to in my lifetime. But it could be much better.

Turtle Tuesday!! 🐢

One of the hardest parts of politics is explaining to people how fascists think because it's so stupid and disconnected from reality people have trouble believing it.
And since the fascists are mostly white, they receive endless benefit of the doubt and the belief that some evil pied piper like Trump must have misled them somehow.
