Hiring an attendant to feed me grapes as I sew my little cunty outfits

[beedymakes]

Often if I'm wearing something I make, and someone tells me they like, I tell them thanks I made it - obviously. And then they say something like yeah, I thought so, but like not in a bad way. And I get what they mean, but also it is so strange every time.

Stop assuming that handmade things are worse! Even things that are clearly handmade, that doesn't mean they look bad!

"Sewing is a gateway drug to thinking through complex problems. It seems really simple; culturally, we make it women's work. Let me tell you: real sewing at any kind of level of proficiency is a bloody magic trick. Sewing, like mold making, involves mental frames that require one to think inside out and backwards. It requires one to work on an order of operations that is often taking into account the reverse. It's a really, really important skill, and if you learn how to sew, you're mostly on your way to carpentry and welding and sheet metal work. I'm not kidding: these are planar forms meeting under rules and conditions. And if you can make a sleeve work, I swear to God, you could build a house."

New EU rules to stop destruction of unsold clothes and shoes

The measures under the Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation will allow businesses to benefit from a more circular economy.

From the article:

The European Commission today (Feb 9) adopted new measures under the Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR) to prevent the destruction of unsold apparel, clothing, accessories and footwear. The rules will help cut waste, reduce environmental damage and create a level playing field for companies embracing sustainable business models, allowing them to reap the benefits of a more circular economy. Every year in Europe, an estimated 4-9% of unsold textiles are destroyed before ever being worn. This waste generates around 5.6 million tons of CO2 emissions – almost equal to Sweden’s total net emissions in 2021. To help reduce this wasteful practice, the ESPR requires companies to disclose information on the unsold consumer products they discard as waste. It also introduces a ban on the destruction of unsold apparel, clothing accessories and footwear.

Fiber arts are a fidget toy, fight me.

the people who enjoy the type of art you create, will like it even if it's imperfect. and the people who hate the type of art you create, will dislike it even if it IS perfect.

don't skip ahead of bullies and bully yourself first. don't badmouth your own work, it doesn't alter other people's opinion on art, but it does make you feel worse about yourself.

Today’s advice from your Goth Auntie

-No slouching! Drink some water, take your meds.

-Be free, cringe is dead. Enjoy things unironically.

-I’ve been told there was an incident with the Lurking Horror climbing on the counter and a bowl of coffee grounds.

If I may, please, add:

-Be free, cringe is dead. Enjoy things unironically.

I joyously submit:

-Be free, cringe is dead. Make things unironically.

Your objectively simple, poorly shaded, misunderstanding of light sources, color theory, story structure, based-on-ten-thousand-trope, blatant self-insert, using cheap (free!) materials, student-grade materials, elementary school materials...

...your complete and utter "this would never survive a professional critique / a college critique / a high school class critique / an elementary school review"...

...your "no one, absolutely no one, in the entire world, cares about this, but me"...

...thing that you make that you enjoyed making ought be made.

"This thing has been done to death though"

My glow that is literally why we have necromancy.

Now get to makin'

A lady on the internet thought the one of these that said Pervert was really distasteful. I hope this helps to clarify! (⁠◕⁠ᴗ⁠◕⁠✿⁠)

Do you know what a Venn diagram is? If your seventh grade math teacher wasn't as amazing as mine was (seriously, Miss Hohenadel made me realize that I actually love math), here's how a Venn diagram works:  it is a visual tool that uses overlapping circles to illustrate the similarities and difference between two or more groups of things.  The areas where the circles overlap indicate the shared characteristics of those groups.  Like, a Venn diagram of "people who love fake fruit" and "people who love Brenda" would intersect a little bit, and you would find me (and maybe only me) in that overlapped space.

If i made a Venn diagram of "People who say they wish I wouldn't be so 'political,'" "People who send me weird messages saying I could be pretty if I dressed more 'flattering,'" and "People who refuse to respect my pronouns/send me messages calling me 'lady' or 'girl,'" well those circles would almost fully overlap.  Because if you're down with patriarchal bullshit about how we should dress and you don't respect my gender, you probably also think slow fashion isn't political.

AND YES, SLOW FASHION IS POLITICAL! Why? Because worker's rights, environmental regulation, plastic pollution, clean air and water are all deeply political...especially in times when those with the most power are doing everything to destroy the regulations that keep us somewhat safe.

In the Venn diagram of "The fast fashion system" and "Fascist government," there is a lot of overlap...and that area of intersection is "profits over people, planet, and freedom."

Also: there's nothing wrong with being political. It means you care about your neighbors! It means you love this planet.  It means that you believe every human should have a safe, happy, and healthy life.  And for that reason, I wear "political" as a badge of honor!

P.S. If you're American, call your Senators AGAIN today! It's working!!! Find more details about how to find your Senators' contact info and what to say in my two previous posts.

Can I bum a cigarette rosette pin. I just don't think that blue ribbon pins should be exclusive to people who aren't dirt bags?
