Weekend reads

Need something to read? The online archive of the Textile Society of America Proceedings goes back to 1988, and includes all sorts of fascinating information on textile technology, culture, trade, symbolism, and much more. 

How about an odd intersection of entomology and history? Fly larvae in the sarcophagus of Isabella of Aragon tell us something interesting.

Too much reading? How about something to watch instead: The League of Extraordinary Dancers, a free online serial. I’m totally enthralled.

If even that is too much for a Saturday, let me present Trygvi’s new feature, “Boxers Destroying Things.” I expect the Velocikittenraptors will be making occasional guest appearances.

Welcome!

I’ve been doing stuff with string for quite some time, and describing it to others online since 1996 or so at Phiala’s String Page.

I also do some science and write some fiction.

I’m Phiala most places on the internet.
