    clothes were never supposed to be disposable. in most medieval wills and inventory documents, the most valuable thing many average people owned was “a suit of clothes.” it was listed as an item to be inherited.

    i honestly want planned obsolescence to be illegal. products should have to last a certain amount of time, and they should have to be repairable - ESPECIALLY if they use these rare minerals and things that have a massive ecological cost.
    I don't think most non-Boomers understand just HOW BAD planned obsolescence has cooked our world. We finally had to replace our toaster bc the coils were dying. I asked my mom when we got it. "Ooooh, around the time you were born." I'm almost 40!!!

    I have started to really, really hate this trope. Having your strong female character be all “ewww, embroidery!!” is so annoying.

    why are the tough girls in fantasy novels always complaining that they don’t want to do their sewing or weaving? that wasn’t busy work like it is in the girlboss books, this was a huge part of womens lives in history

    hi. i’m 6’4” and while i identify in ways you likely wouldn’t respect, i was assigned female at birth. my mom and sister are cis women who are 6’0” and 6’2” respectively. if you care about women at all, accept that they come in many sizes and shapes.

    oh it’s so cool to see the maker of this piece. When I saw this scene at 13 I was like “that is the most beautiful thing I have ever seen”

    their sport expects so much unbelievable athleticism and artistry from synchronized swimmers and rhythmic gymnasts, and yet they get almost no platform! they should be broadcast and marketed and hyped LIKE. THE. NBA.
