Took my wife to Zinck’s Fabric Outlet. I thought we were “just stopping in.” Rookie mistake. Forty minutes later I’m hauling fabric like I work there while she debates patterns like it’s a life decision. I came for moral support and left as the official fabric carrier.

Zinck’s Fabric Outlet out near Holmes County isn’t some fancy big-city craft boutique with overpriced “artisan vibes.” It’s a giant, no-nonsense warehouse packed wall to wall with fabric, and people who sew know it’s basically the promised land. You’ll find quilting cotton, fleece, upholstery fabric, and random bolts you didn’t know you needed until you see the price tag and suddenly you’re loading up the cart. It sits right in the middle of Amish Country near Millersburg, which somehow makes the whole place feel even more authentic. If you like sewing, quilting, or just love the thrill of scoring ridiculous deals on fabric, Zinck’s is the kind of place where you walk in for one thing and walk out wondering how your trunk got filled with ten yards of something you’re absolutely going to use someday.

Peter Weir – „Der einzige Zeuge“ (1985)

Ein Thriller über Gewalt, Macht und den Preis der Moderne unter dem ein stiller Essay über Kapitalismus, Gemeinschaft und Entfremdung liegt. Ein Cop bringt urbane Gewalt in die Amisch-Gemeinschaft in Pennsylvania. Das war mehr als ein dramaturgischer Trick, sondern viel mehr ein filmisches Experiment von Peter Weir über das, was passiert, wenn ein System auf seine Antithese trifft. Ein unvergesslicher Film. Und ein Zeugnis der Achtziger, mit Harrison Ford und Kelly McGillis. (ARD, Wh.)

#3sat zeigt aktuell ein Bericht über die #Amish. Mir fehlt jedes Verständnis für die Realitätsverweigerung, die Rückwärtsgewandtheit und das traditionelle Familienbild, was jeden Nazi zu Jubelstürmen hinreißt.

Was auch deutlich wird, sie benutzen mittlerweile Geräte, Maschinen etc. Voll lächerlich.

Weekend Therapy: Dirt Roads and Drool

Modern life is loud on purpose. Notifications, outrage, constant updates. This weekend proved something simple: the cure isn’t more productivity hacks. It’s dirt roads, quiet fields, and a Saint Bernard puppy that looks like it could bench press your ego. Saturday was Amish country. No neon signs. No Bluetooth speakers screaming at you from a passing car. Just horses, wind, and the kind of stillness that makes your brain slow down whether it wants to or not. The Amish have this radical […]
