Hey #Fediverse, here's a #tip. Be aware of those who surround you, and remember to use the #ContentWarning button.

It's simple: you click or tap on the CW button, fill the small space above the toot with one or more words summarizing the content, write the toot and post.

This will help people stay afloat by avoiding overexposure to #TrendingTopics, and also avoid mentally deteriorating #triggers for those who are recovering and have survived.

Here's a list of common #warning words:

  • uspol / ukpol / itapol / pol (anything political)
  • depression / mental health (mh)
  • violence / sexual violence
  • food, alcohol

Boost this around! Let's get through this together! :boosts_ok:

Feel free to add more under this toot! Let's make this as complete and exhaustive as possible.

Content warnings are here for a reason: to let people not get too much overwhelmed from news, topics, and other things that can cloud judgment, or ruin mental clarity. Especially when it comes down to things they have no control over, and considered how toxic a discussion over any topic can become in the media today.

Cose che vorrei imparassimo da questi due anni e spicci di pandemia: se sei malatə, non vai a lavoro.
Mi capitano sottocchio quei post dei ricordi su quell'altrosociallà ed
è pieno di "tonsillite, ma si va a lavoro" o "e anche oggi febbrone, ora tachipirina e via".
Che ci rimanga, tra le cose buone imparate, questa perlomeno: se stai male, stai a casa, ti curi, ti riprendi, poi torni. La cultura dell'indomitə che sorride finché non crepa male lasciamola a casa a far la muffa.

18th century pocket. *tactical*!

(Picture of something shaped line a 18th century pocket, except it's made of blue cordura with alternating red and white 2.5 cm webbing sewn at regular 4 cm intervals, and the front slit is closed by a water repellent zipper.)

(Picture of the back of the same pocket, where the webbing is blue (in a darker hue than the cordura), there is no slit, but two small belt loops sewn in the top seam.)

I know, to make it properly *tactical* it should have been camo instead of brightly coloured, but I have no camo fabric at home (and honestly have no plan to buy any) and this was a spur-of-the-moment thing made with leftovers from my backpack-and-accessories.

TFW it's 21:40, you're making something silly and want to see it finished, you are at the stage where you need to sew a waterproof zipper into waterproof fabric (so there is only one try) plus a lining, and you're stuck with deciding the best way to do it in a way that is as clean as possible. Also, the neighbors won't be happy about my sewing machine going on in the night

I'll try to do the sensible thing and sleep on it. As opposed to both doing it wrong right now AND waking up in the middle of the night with an idea on how to do it and then not being able to sleep.

sewing, ec

The two main thinks I've been sewing lately are ready to be worn!

The skirt is a foundation skirt from a 1892 patternmaking manual in light blue linen/cotton with box pleated ruffles at the hem, made in a walking length (you can see the ankles! and the very modern hiking boots I'm wearing every day with late 1800 inspired clothing :D )

The shirt is a gentleman's shirt from a 1880 book, made in blue cotton with two pleats per side in the front plus the button placket and a handful of errors: I've put one of the three buttons in the wrong position (it should have been midway between the collar and the second button) and the cuffs are too small (and I've put the slit in the wrong position, wooops), so I haven't added buttons yet (and maybe I won't?)

The back of the skirt is very full and heavily pleated in the waistband, so it could be worn as is, but also with a bit of padding in the bustle area.

The back of the skirt is gathered in the yoke (but in the picture it can't really be seen, since I'm also wearing my hairs *down*)

Shoes (of which the sole can be seen in the picture) are still very much not historically accurate :D

The skirt is going to be my to-go skirt for this season, worn like this (which is why I've made it as a short (for its time) walking length skirt).

I'm also going to make some draperies to wear on top of it for a more historical look, but those are needed with less urgency.

I'm also half-way through editing and adding pictures to the instructions, so I will be publishing the source code for it *soon*. #FreeSoftWear

And as I wrote in another comment, my short term plans for the shirt are to remake it in linen, probably trying to improve the armscye lines a bit, as well as fixing the cuff size.

The detachable collar from my other linen shirt of course fits, and maybe I'll make a few others in different styles, but I'm not sure they will be ready this summer.

The instructions have already been written, but I still have to edit and add the step-by-step pictures, and they are *a lot*, so publishing those will take a bit more time (but it will happen!)

And then there is a cut of lightweight red wool waiting for me in the stash, but that's in long-term plans territory :)

well, the skirt is cotton/linen, so it breathes quite well (and being a relatively wide skirt there is quite some potential for air movement). The other layer below it is a cotton petticoat with lots of ruffles, which I may or may not wear depending on the season and on how historically accurate I want to be.

Plus cotton leggings and wool socks, but those may go away as the season becomes warmer, especially the wool socks :D

I'm quite confident that it's going to be only mildly uncomfortable with any temperature that I can expect in this part of the world (in the 30°C, ish), and less uncomfortable than going around in shorts that don't protect the legs from the sun.

in reply to David Bremner

friendica (DFRN) - Collegamento all'originale

Elena ``of Valhalla''

The shirt is a different matter: it's a relatively thick cotton and I'm wearing it as a moderately warm outer layer on top of a long sleeved t-shirt now that temperatures are around 16–18°C, it's definitely not summer wear.

But it's also a wearable mock-up for a linen shirt, and that one is going to be part of my standard summer wear, together with two other linen shirts from different decades. Again, I'm not going to be comfortable during the summer :) but it's nice to have some well breathing fabric between my body and the sun. As for layers, I'm probably going to be wearing it over either a cotton/linen jersey camisole or a linen chemise (if I manage to make it before the summer :D ), and either a bra or a summer corset in aida cloth.

There is also a video on youtube, I believe by Abby Cox, of people spending half an hour or so in the USA desert in summer while wearing fully layered historical clothing in wool, linen and silk and then measuring their skin temperature with a thermal camera, compared to the same thing while wearing single layer, short modern clothing.

modellismo nel senso di modelli di cucito, giusto (perché altrimenti no, non è qualcosa che pratico)?

Che io sappia è ancora una nicchia piccolina, ma ci si sta provando. Credo che ci sia anche qualcosa nella comunità di utenti di Valentina (il programma che uso per disegnare i modelli), ma non so più che fine abbia fatto (temo su facebook?) e l'autore del programma è più propenso verso la vendita degli stessi, per cui non credo che li incoraggi particolarmente.

@Elena ``of Valhalla'' @varve purtroppo i software sono così costosi da avere provocato la creazione di un mercato del sw pirata molto sviluppato (cfr mastodon.uno/@informapirata/10… ). Il fatto è che al di là del software sono proprio i "metodi" di modellismo (come disegnare un cartamodello in base alle misure) a essere sottoposti a un copyright che rappresenta spesso l'unico vero asset delle scuole di modellismo

Buona domanda, a quello che leggevo in giro ad essere protetto da copyrigth è la descrizione del metodo, ma non il metodo stesso (che potrebbe essere coperto da brevetti però?), per cui seguire le istruzioni per disegnare un block con un software e pubblicare il relativo file dovrebbe essere lecito.

Parlo però di istruzioni pubblicate su libri, non di blocchi predisposti per specifici programmi.

Come software conosco valentina, che è in debian, e quello in javascript usato su freesewing: entrambi sono basati su design parametrico basato sulle misure del destinatario finale e non sulla creazione di una taglia standard e poi ottenere le altre taglie tramite grading.

Credo che la cosa li renda adatti al lavoro delle sarte (oltre che ovviamente al cucito domestico / individuale), ma non all'uso per la produzione di massa.

Yeah, gutermann is also the main brand available here in supermarkets etc., and their polyester thread is fine (but I try not to use it), but imho their cotton helps giving cotton thread a bad rep.

Grazie a tutti per le risposte.

E sì, gutermann è la marca che si trova anche qui nei supermercati, e il loro filo di poliestere è decente (ma cerco di non usarlo), ma secondo me il loro filo di cotone aiuta a dare cattiva fama al filo di cotone.

Un modello eliocentrico con orbite circolari è comunque un'approssimazione abbastanza grezza del sistema solare, in cui invece le orbite sono ellittiche.

A quanto ne so, il sistema geocentrico con epicicli era già arrivato ad un livello di raffinatezza tale per cui *per i calcoli* poteva fornire risultati più precisi rispetto a quelli ottenuti con un modello eliocentrico a orbite circolari, il che è probabilmente uno dei motivi per cui il sistema geocentrico è sopravvissuto nel tempo.

@Elena ``of Valhalla'' credo semplicemente che si tratti di un'impressione dovuta alla rarefazione delle fonti scientifiche. Purtroppo il successo del compendio di Tolomeo sul "sistema solare" (che non derivava dalla migliore scienza alessandrina, a differenza di quello sempre suo sulle dimensioni del globo) rimase probabilmente l'unico trattato comprensibile e per questo sopravvisse a tutti gli altri.
Comunque, se sei interessata all'argomento, ti consiglio alcune pubblicazioni di Lucio Russo, da quelle più divulgative (Stelle atomi e velieri) a quelle più strutturate (La rivoluzione dimenticata)
