Dr. Morgan Lemmer-Webber

So, 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.

She doesn't say any words, but she does trill like a bird all the time :)

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 :)

Also, since you're into textiles, here are two distribution maps of textile related implements at Poggio Civitate (south of Siena):

(1) Spools: opencontext.org/query/Europe/I

(2) Spindle whorls: opencontext.org/query/Europe/I

@mlemweb I'd love to learn to be able to make my own clothing. I don't know that it'd necessarily be practical, but that's never stopped me before.

@me @mlemweb do it!

it also has a few practical advantages (and some practical disadvantages), but it's so much fun!

@me

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
