in my profession (commercial fishing) we deal with rope a lot. it is called ‘line’ in the fishing world, and it’s what holds it all together. fisherfolk are very good at coiling it, running it through hydraulic booms, lashing boats to docks with it, and using a small metal tool to splice two ends together. in working with rope you’re always seeing how many different threads form strength, and I think that’s very much a concept we need to be chatting about today
