So, #introduction post since I've just created a new account!
I'm Morgan Lemmer-Webber, I'm interested in the social history of women and textile production in the Roman Empire.
I do most imaginable textile crafts. Right now I'm making a lot of clothes due to an allergy to synthetic fabrics. Expect lots of posts about making socks and other garments.
I am the co-host of the podcast FOSS and Crafts
I am the Executive Director of the @wha
Expect more pictures of cats and crafts than of me.

Anyway, I noticed that I was not following your new account, but am following the old one, so there might be a problem with your followers migrating. Not sure.

I did get the accounts linked up so most of my followers migrated in a minute of solid notification bloops and there's been a slow trickle since then.

I just set this account up today and I don't know if I've done all of the steps to make migration happen yet so that's probably an issue on my end

in reply to Eric Kansa • • •Hello! Open Context looks awesome! Digital Humanities via Archaeology experience + FOSS advocacy is what landed me a job as a tech writer after the academic job market crashed right when I got my PhD so I suspect we've got some alignment!

Oh yeah, I've been on Mastodon for years (my previous server is sadly shutting down so I just migrated to social.coop) so @paregorios are already following each other :)

in reply to Jonathan Lamothe • •@Jonathan Lamothe @Dr. Morgan Lemmer-Webber do it!
it also has a few practical advantages (and some practical disadvantages), but it's so much fun!

The thing about making your own clothes is that it doesn't *need* to be practical. You can make yourself one or two staple garments that you wear in rotation, you can make yourself costumes, you can make a couple of "fun" or "fancy" things and call it quits. It's not an end sum game, just start doing what feels fun and exciting.
If you're interested, you should definitely try it though
