"crochet can't be made by machines" went from being a cool fun fact to being a call to action of "so if you see mass manufactured crochet in Target, that was made by a person and they were underpaid and you should boycott it" which is true, it was made by a person, but EVERY item of clothing you own (that you did not purchase from a company using ethical labor) was made by a person being underpaid (at *best*.)

Sewing machines are operated by *people*. Knitting machines are operated by *people*. Yes lots of the process is automated but you cannot tell a machine "make me a t-shirt" or "make me a knit cardigan".

Higher awareness of fast fashion, and the true human labor and abuse behind it, is GREAT, but let's not pretend that the crochet hat in target is THE problem. Every article of clothing in target is the problem. "All clothes are made by people" is the jumping off point here into understanding this issue it's not just crochet it's the whole thing ahhhhHHHHHHHHHH

If you've ever seen images of sweatshops in the early 20th century, in New York or the UK or other developed countries

Guess what

Your clothing is still made in a place that looks like that. The only thing that's different is the tech level of the sewing machines and the race of the workers

in the watchmen sourcebook the minutemen tell the press that its fine theyre encouraging a teenager to beat the shit out of people because hes mature for his age. and im sure them making that decision had no impact of the trajectory of his life.

Was driving with my grandmother and in broken English she says “no eyes… no nose… no face. Don’t trust.” To which I looked around wildly in search of this omen of ill portend.

Cybertruck. It was a cybertruck.

Y’know, I said “everyone deserves a beach episode” and then very lazily doodled Dan, Rorschach, and Laurie in swimsuits… But this thing I edited to expand upon the lore was better and definitely funnier than my drawing, so I’m gonna share it instead-

one of my all-time favorite weird and wonderful shows - DON'T HUG ME I'M SCARED - is now on dropout! full web series now; TV series (which less people have seen) over the course of the next few months. big thanks to blink industries, becky, and joe for their faith in us. is dropout getting into licensing content? yes, maybe, carefully. as with anything we do, this is experimental -- driven by my love for the show as well as a great relationship with its creators. but if it works, we might do more things like it... ...by which i mean put more shows on dropout that we think are... (a) uniquely great (b) perhaps even underexposed shows like SUITS LA (kidding, i didn't watch it, though i did watch literally all of og SUITS) have or know a show you think we should consider? get in touch! does this mean less original dropout content? of course not! we have a record number of new dropout shows right now in development, the fruits of which you'll begin to see this year. stay tuned for this, that, and more! 📺

btw if youre young and scared of doing adult things without your parents ive learned that like 90% of the time you can just tell the doctors office or the dmv "haha sorry ive never done this without help before... can you show me how to do this?" the employee will not care. if that means anything to you
