Everything this man does is ludicrous but this is the last straw (pun intended) What a complete tool!

It's all well & good to create new fabrics to keep us warm but do we really need more plastic in the clothing chain? Maybe a sustainable solution would be better or just wear extra layers of natural fibres like wool??

New fabric can heat up almost 50 degrees to keep people warm in ultracold weather
A new smart fabric converts light into heat and can raise temperatures by more than 54 degrees Fahrenheit (30 degrees Celsius) after just 10 minutes in the sun.

And..... she was straight off the starting line of 2025 🏇 with a beautiful commission for a customers brother, who had bought his mum a fruittie sweatshirt for Christmas & they all loved it so much he wanted his own Fruittie sweatshirt! 🍒
What a kind family! 💚💚

Basically Emily gives "Zero Shits"
This is why I continuously share these posts to make the change.
Why would you continue to buy badly made fast fashion items made in labour exploitative sweatshops, just because 'everyone else is doing it?'

Really Emily? Really?

Ridiculous & shocking behaviour from fast fashion biz Shein's lawyer who refuses to admit or deny that Shein are using Chinese Cotton - which is produced under forced labour & racial human rights abuse. Please share & stop supporting fast fashion!

Instagram has been awesome (albeit a bit local - mostly UK)for my sustainable fashion business. BUT now this! Jeez Zuckerberg! I came to Bluesky on @blindboyboatclub.bsky.social recommendation just to see what it was like. Just in time I'd say!

The more of us that get involved to make the change the better. As long as those statistics are getting shared & amazing people like yourself are doing PhDs on Sustainable Fashion, the more people will begin to make the change 💚💚 We just need to get on with it! 😁

Charts like these mean well but I have an issue with how people are missing the irony between minimalism v maximalism.
1. Don't buy too much in the first place.
2. Don't follow trends
3. Don't toss out anything!!!

Art should be funded like science. To properly fund art, you fund failure. Funding failure will give you occasional excellence. Creating any art with the aim of it being popular enough to make money, will give you consistent mediocrity. Arists need funding to play and fail because that's the process

Let me tell you about the weird business that delivers art into our lives, and the impact it has on the long-term careers of artists. This is a thread prompted by yet another article on authors' incomes, and the inevitable reactions from the 'people-would-pay-if-it-was-worth-it-to-them' brigade. 1/
