I was watching a video on the importance of rhetoric (the author specializes in military history), and the author's video on how he acquires his shirts caught my attention.

The Wife and I were laughing pretty hard by the time he got around to the importance of sewing. (5:20)

Lindybeige! I like this guy. He's one of my favorite YouTubers.

And yes, I think the exclamation point is mandatory.

One of his videos just became required viewing for my students.

Things I noticed: He has a berimbau in the background of the sewing scene. Why, I'm not sure.

+John Jainschigg I totally missed that. Dude's kind of weird... in an awesome way.

I love that for the dyeing scene, he simply uses a beige filter for the whole shot. Not just the shirts, but the washing machine is suddenly beige.

Sews his own shirts, practices his own capoeira. Very self-sufficient guy. I wish he'd spent less time presuming bigotry on the part of a feminist co-worker, though -- not a great look these days.

An old memory with lots of history. Seems there's plenty of bigotry going around to be called out.

Also, I don't think he does Capoeira; it doesn't show up in any of his videos, but does talk about his Swing Teaching, and role playing. Probably more of a travel souvenir, whether of Africa or South America, hard to say.
