I cannot stress the importance of knowing fabric composition. Far too many luxury brands and premium brands dupe their consumers by using terrible terrible fabrics at high price-points. If you are paying premium prices, you deserve good quality, ethical, breathable fabrics. Always look at the fabric composition of the items you are buying. Wool blend is not wool blend if it is made out of polyester.

People like to talk about their livelihood. Build relationships with people who make clothing their livelihood (Designers online through Twitter or other social media platforms, vintage and antique store owners, tailors, etc).
Utilize YouTube to the best of your ability.

Do you have a middle name?
Yes
No
Itâs complicated
(patronymics/matronymics or first/given names or surnames with multiple parts is not the same thing)
Honestly I keep forgetting middle names are a thing until americans or whatever talk about them. Is it common where youâre from?
part two pjo au (thank you all for being patientâŠthe next couple of updates will have more and more answers heheh)
part one here
often times i suspend my disbelief for mlb but adrien teaching marinette a chinese phrase by pronouncing it wrong and her pronouncing it slightly more correctly despite mimicking him is too funny. also he teaches her a phrase i have never ever used in my entire life as a chinese person
Why did your parent(s) choose the name they gave you?
its actual meaning
named after a family member
named after someone famous
named after a character
liked the way it sounded
other reason in the tags
no idea

Pick a Jane Austen love confession
âThe very first moment I beheld him, my heart was irrevocably gone.â
âTo love is to burn, to be on fire.â
âYou must allow me to tell you how ardently I admire and love you.â
âIf Ioved you less I might be able to talk about it more.â
âYou pierce my soul. I am half agony, half hope.â
âMy heart is, and always will be, yours.â
particularly inspired moment from ch 2 of mine and @sha-nwaâs new enemies au fic call it even đ«¶
I'll let @sisterofhamsternamedmarinette explain this one đ
Actually I've decided to explain it myself
Weirdly anti-millennial articles have scraped the bottom of the barrel so hard that they are now two feet down into the topsoil
its so wild like âthis generation with no fucking money is learning to prioritize essentialsâ and all these chucklefucks can write is advertisements for these companies
at least our jeans wonât tear at the seams after two washes
FUCK FABRIC SOFTENER ITâS UTTERLY POINTLESS
AND FUCK DRYER SHEETS LITERALLY NOBODY EVER HAS ENOUGH OF A PROBLEM WITH STATIC TO WARRANT PAYING OUT THE ASS FOR THAT SHIT
DO YOU WANT CLEAN CLOTHES? YOU DONâT EVEN NEED TO BUY FUCKING DETERGENT JUST MAKE YOUR OWN* ITâS SO GODDAMN EASY AND 80X CHEAPER
FUCK THE ENTIRE LAUNDRY INDUSTRY *Fuck The Entire Laundry Industry Recipe
1 cup Washing Soda (not Baking Soda. Different things.)
1 cup Borax (not Boric Acid. Also a different thing.)
œ cup - 1 cup grated bar soap (you can use literally anything. I often use Ivory because itâs easy to get and I find it works well, a lot of people like Fels-Naptha, which is an actual laundry bar. Some people use Dr. Bronnerâs. Really does not fucking matter.) After grating your soap, combine all ingredients. Thatâs it. Thatâs the whole thing. Use maybe a ÂŒ cup per load.
^^^ Iâve done this for years now and it works as well as any store bought detergent
WHAT Thank you, tumblr user awfullydull! Your URL does no justice to the good advice you give!
Also you can MAKE your own washing soda very VERY cheaply.
Step one: acquire $5 bag of baking soda from Costco.
Step two: lay that motherfucking baking soda out on a baking tray.
Step three: bake the baking soda on a tray in an oven at 400° for 1 hour (to make the moisture evaporate, leaving washing soda)
Step four: revel in how easy and cheap it is to make your own washing soda, and maybe take a moment to be angry that the industry upcharges the fuck out of something that is so easy to make.
I see some of y'all complaining about static and/or wanting nice smelling laundry. Go to a craft store, find 100% wool yarn balls. If it doesnât come in a ball, ask an employee to make it into a tight ball for you. Wash in the washing machine to make it felted. Remove from washer, add a few drops of essential oil to the ball, allow to seep in. Dry with clothing. Doesnât need to be rewashed ever, and if it stops smelling, add few more drops of essential oil. Bam, reusable dryer sheets.
I love this post so much itâs filled with helpful advice, hatred, saving money, and fucking the system all in one
Kudos to all of this, but donât ask a craft store employee at a chain craft store to make your wool yarn into a tight ball for you. I worked at JoAnn Fabrics for a year and a half. We literally have no resources or ability to do something like that. You could do a better job yourself at home. The chain craft store employee canât look up a youtube tutorial for making yarn laundry balls on the clock, you can.
If someone had walked up to me while I was working at JoAnn and asked me to take a half hour or more out of my shift to try and fail in making some kind of tight yarn laundry contraption I probably would have burst into tears. And if my manager had come out and found me trying and failing to wind yarn when I was supposed to be running go backs I would have gotten a talking to. Craft store employees arenât allowed, able, or willing to do your crafts for you. Thatâs why itâs a craft store.
Donât hurt retail workers in your quest for overriding the capitalist system. For the love of everything beautiful please just look it up.
These are all great ways to reduce waste we produce from constantly buying detergent, softener, and dryer sheets.
