I like the comedic tone they have used. It’s a nice counterpoint to the violent post apocalyptic world.
The vaults must have been an influence on the silos in Hugh Howey’s Wool books. Not saying he copied Fallout as the Wool stories are totally different. Except for a few aspects of the silos, which I won’t put here as it’d be a huge spoiler for anyone watching Silo adaptation on AppleTV+.
Finally finished... the Georgia O'Keeffe/organs jacket. Mostly merino/nylon from independent dyers. Spot the eyes, lungs, brain and hearts. The Georgia O'Keeffe references include the goat skull/flower, Jack-in-the-Pulpit, grey charcoal spirals and abstract flower close-ups (that's what I'm calling them).
@jepyang it... gets... so... much... BETTER. you don't think it can possibly get better AND THEN IT DOES.
These books sold me on Hugh Howey. My OCD gets mainlined with good authors and he's no exception, I've read nearly everything he's written. And keep finding more and I know I have to catch up now, too.
These books aren't known to me as Silo, I think of them as Wool, Wool II (Shift), and Wool III (Dust). :) So when I see #silo I have to translate that to #wool
Immediately after I finished this trilogy I devoured the Sand series, plus fanfic. Then I chomped through all his space stuff, which is some of his BEST stuff. Not Wool-level mindblowing (imho), but still ... his universe building is like watercolor paints. Half Way Home is spectacular.
And guess what? There's another show. Beacon 23, that's the same author. I don't know if it's as good, but I wanna see it. The books are also fantastic.
I am torn to and fro: I want to cry at how detached from nature many people have become.
But then I'm happy that someone has shown so much care. It's better to feed a hat bobble once too often - and the rescue centre is also happy about the publicity! 😁 But please beware of Tribbles! 😱
Pristine sweater in parcel posted in 1807
"A 200-year-old sweater in a traditional Faroese knit has been found in a stash of 19th-century letters at The National Archives in our Prize Papers collection. The jumper, handknitted in vibrantly coloured fine wool, was intended for a woman in Denmark, but never reached its destination because the vessel on which it was shipped was seized by the British Navy during the Second Battle of Copen.." https://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/about/news/pristine-sweater-found-in-parcel-posted-in-1807/
What if I wore all black alpaca wool clothing for improved healthy and aesthetic and comfort, and then did a silly lil thing of running away and bouncing around on my bed and hiding behind the feather pillar!
Finally, my best #Yarnuary tip. If you're lucky enough to be bought an adjustable tailor's dummy for Christmas, make sure you take your measurements like I did, early on Boxing Day. You may be horrified at the time but now I feel smug knocking off a few centimetres without suffering too much dieting hell.
Second arm finished...I'm calling it 'heart on my sleeve' as I've managed to incorporate an anatomical heart and a swirly one. There's a brain at the top...
