In this week's episode, we share a bunch of listener answers to the question, "If you could only sew one thing, what would it be?" And, of course, we share our own answers, too! Helen made an excellent choice. Denim is sturdy, but it wears in beautifully. It comes in every shade, but the indigo ones are the best. And it's so satisfying to finish it with beautiful topstitching. Here are some of Helen's denim me-mades:
👖 A pair of light wash denim #FalconerPants
👖 Dark wash #YantaOveralls
👖 An #AshtonTop mini-dress hack
👖 A patchwork shift dress made from three pairs of Sam's old jeans!
Do you like sewing with denim?

The image depicts the interior of an airplane with passengers raising their hands. In the foreground, a man in a black shirt stands in the aisle, raising his hand. Behind him, numerous passengers in various seating positions also have their hands raised. The airplane's overhead compartments are open, and the seats are visible, with some passengers seated and others standing. The cabin is well-lit, and the seats are arranged in rows. The text at the bottom reads: "These smug humans lost touch with regular passengers like us. Who thinks AI 'fly the plane?'" The artist's signature, "W.McPhail," is visible in the bottom left corner.

The image depicts a scene inside a train car, likely a freight or cargo car, with a red exterior and several windows. In the foreground, a green cart is loaded with wooden crates and baskets. The crates are labeled with text such as "GOI STORES S.C COFFEE FACCI PRD" and "STONE-WELLS COMPANY QUALITY COFFEE." The cart is positioned on a concrete floor, and the train car's interior is visible, including a black metal gate and a red-painted wall. The lighting is dim, with some overhead lights illuminating the scene. The overall atmosphere suggests a historical or museum setting, with the train car and its contents appearing to be preserved for display.

Das Bild zeigt eine grafische Darstellung der Muskelausbeute eines Menschen. Die Hauptangabe ist "56.7 %", die in grüner Schrift dargestellt wird und sich im Bereich "Fit" auf einer Leiste befindet, die von "Ungenügend" (40%) bis "Ausgezeichnet" (60%) reicht. Die Leiste ist in drei Abschnitte unterteilt: blau für "Ungenügend", grün für "Fit" und dunkelgrün für "Ausgezeichnet". Darunter steht "Muskeln: 56.7 %". Ein erklärender Text in deutscher Sprache besagt: "Basierend auf Körpergewicht und Körpergröße etc. kann der Anteil der Muskelmasse im menschlichen Körper die körperliche Gesundheit und Stärke einer Person anzeigen."

Wow. I have conflicting feelings about this. The ending of the article highlights it well:
“The notion that getting over feelings of abandonment is simply a matter of compassionate “closure” is already a complicated one, AI models aside. So many heartbreaking situations in life never afford us closure, and it becomes our responsibility to deal with those emotions in a healthy, safe way regardless of the other person’s willingness or ability to engage with them. Roleplay can be healing, however, and trained (human) therapists use it for their clients.
Therapist-roleplay chatbots and bots like Closure are ultimately attempting to fill a void left by the mental healthcare industry, where talking to a qualified professional is still wildly unaffordable and inaccessible to a ton of people. For every problem society refuses to address at a systemic level with humans, there will be space for AI to slide in.”
