true 2000′s nonsense was finding an amv with a cool song and revisiting the amv for the song instead of actually looking it up

[yieldsfalsehoodwhenquined]

so many articles about Fast Fashion, not enough articles about what the hell is happening to the quality of clothes

Like okay. People own more pieces of clothing nowadays and they wear them a lesser number of times before throwing them out. BUT.

Why do we pretend like this is pure vanity or careless wastefulness, rather than forced by the qualities of the clothes themselves?

The other day, I was going through boxes of old clothes in the basement in search of fabric to practice sewing on. The difference in quality of the fabrics themselves is shocking! The worn-out old jeans from twenty years ago are MUCH thicker and tougher than anything more recent. My old baby clothes are made as sturdy as my work clothes from today.

In the past couple years, I have had entire seams rip out of clothes on the first wash. That's not normal!

Polyester blend shirts that feel cozy and soft when they are new, become scratchy and rough after 20 washes or so. I am trying to avoid polyester, but it gets harder and harder; the other day i couldn't find a single pack of crew socks that was 100% cotton. SOCKS!

Also, pilling is out of control. The newest pants I bought developed pills within a single day of walking around campus with a backpack.

These companies are trying to frog-boil us but touching clothes from twenty years ago, the useless crap of today would stick out like a sore thumb...

The thing missing from fast fashion discussion is that the fewer clothes you own, the more often you have to wear them.

So the length of time something "lasts" is dependent on how many clothes you have. If you have 20 shirts, you're wearing each one 5% of the time; if you have 4 shirts, you're wearing each one 25% of the time, assuming you wear them all equally.

So if one of your 20 shirts takes 3 years to wear out, if you downsized your wardrobe to 4 shirts, you would need to divide 3 years by 5 to estimate how long those shirts are going to last.

It's hard to make it a social norm to have 4 shirts if you can't find shirts that are made to be viable long term as part of a 4-shirt rotation

I haven’t blogged like this since hs but I was just thinking my mom got mad at me the other day cuz I had to cancel plans with her kinda last minute and she was mad I didn’t give her a heads up. There’s a lot more to it than that but basically she made me feel terrible for having to cancel even though it wasn’t supposed to be a big deal. Maybe it was to her but I had to choose to say no because I had work the next day and I didn’t want to be out past dark when I live like five towns over. ANYWAY what I realized today is that I was crying over upsetting her when I could’ve totally pulled a psycho move and made plans just to cancel on her. Like if I didn’t have empathy or want her approval or just didn’t f*cking care about her feelings that’s definitely what I would do. I’m just saying I could be a lot worse.

Not "I always knew I was different", not "I thought it was normal", but a secret third thing: it never occurred to me to think about whether it was normal until I was forced to, usually in a cruel way

Do y’all think siblings in medieval times would look at the little beasts in illuminated manuscripts and point at each other like ‘ha! ‘Tis thou!’
