Oh, hey, it's still the guy whose outfit you want to compliment, but it would be awkward.

And as promised, here's a follow-up bonus episode from this week's Colsetology episode, all about quilts.

And this one, a little bonus, just a little bonus drop it in your feed.

It's just chocka block with advice and encouragement and a call to action to make some cool stuff out of scraps in an effort to calm your nerves and buy less stuff and make more art. Now, QuiltCon, 2026 happened just a few weeks ago in Raleigh, North Carolina. I've been tagged in so many posts from that since last episode. The scathing political quilts there, just brutally wonderful, beautiful, leave it to crafters to change the world.

I highly recommend checking out some QuiltCon 2026 quilts. Last week, we went deep into the

context in the history of quilt making with museum curator Olivia Joseph, author and quilter

Joe Cunningham and fiber fine artist Luke Haynes,

who made me a quilt that is up on our Instagram. That's amazing. He also made a small quilt pattern

for oligite quilters, novice and expert alike to try. That's linked in our show notes.

Also in the show notes links to Smologies are short form and kids safe episodes that live in their own podcast feed, wherever you get podcasts.

Ologiesmerch.com, which has new designs with protest art with 100% of the proceeds going to the National Immigration Law Center.

Also linked is our Patreon at patreon.com slash ologies, where you can support the show and submit questions before we record.

And that's like a dollar a month to get in.

Also, thank you so much to listeners who leave reviews, which help boost the show so much.

I do read all of them.

And thank you, DNA Sprouse, for the recent one saying,

My Small Talk has never been more unhinged or informed.

P.S., they say, I learned about

nominative determinism from this podcast and had the humbling realization that my name is Dene,

and I teach students about DNA all day. Make of that what you will. DNA Spouse, Deney Spouse,

what's in a name? Apparently all the information you need to build an organism.
