Other people's children have absolutely nothing to do with my life and I am SICK of them being brought up in every conversation about every moral issue out there. First of all you don't know anything about what's best for a child second of all even if you did that still has literally nothing to do with me, a childless 29 year old who wants to see full bush online

#your hypothetical children are getting in the way of me being able to see dykes fucking nasty #i'm not saying this to be mean.#kids are just small and vulnerable people and i do think we have a duty to like try and clean up the planet for them. physically #environmentally #but i cannot emphasize enough how little my online presence has to do with any of this #and how much i am here to speak to other adults and share images of beautiful lesbians with no clothes on

I don't understand how leather can be both biodegradable and last for generations. Either it breaks down easily or it doesnt.

Also, if it lasts so long, why do we have to keep producing more?

Leather produced using modern tanning methods is not actually biodegradable, it's a claim repeated over and over without anyone in the chain bothering to look it up. The tanning process is wildly unsustainable and produces many toxic chemicals that make their way into waterways, tanneries are infamously dirty places I've no idea how anyone landed on the idea that anything about this process is environmentally friendly. That's not even discussing the GHG emissions, resource and land use it takes to actually get the cow to slaughter weight in the first place.

The environmental claims, then, rest solely longevity. Tumblr has decided to collectively pretend all their leather is 50 years old and was passed down to them by their grandparents, just like they all pretend all their meat is locally produced none of them are buying factory farmed animal products. The fact is that most leather is fast fashion, the same as plastic.

The latest hail mary has been 'but indigenous practices aren't as bad!' which would be great, if that's where anyone was actually buying their leather from. As it stands it’s nothing more than hiding behind indigenous people to justify their own completely unrelated purchases - again. The facts don't really matter though, confirmation bias means that people will uncritically believe and spread just about anything so long as it’s what they want to hear.
