I think it's an allegory about the world then, through its technological cleverness and scientific knowledge, confronting the battle between communism and fascism, the bourgeois being too preoccupied by their own vices and beating up protesters. In the middle, The Worker is taking the reins and will choose the future of humanity.

At least that's my reading.

With fabrics you're kinda living in happy times as it's easy to research on the internet and the very basics are quite applicable in and of itself. You could just take two clothes made of different fibres and read on their differences and verify it through your senses.

I mean, this kind of a bottom up approach made clothes and fashion more legible to me at least.

I just recovered from the oddest cold. I was snotty for almost two weeks, had mild fever for two days and a high one, over 39 degrees that plummeted down to 37.5 degrees after like two hours. I literally accomplished this by taking paracetamol and having a cold shower. Then after two days of recovery I got what apparently is bronchitis that resolved in a few hours(?!).

And apparently other people have also gotten this, so it's not just me.

Thank you for reading my personal essay.
