It isn't progress.... it's capitalism, consumerism, and the repercussions of flexible accumulation. And it really sucks! There's a lot to be upset about, but I ultimately tell everyone: repair what you own, buy less stuff, and search for secondhand clothing. Learning yarn crafts and sewing is a great way to truly appreciate what goes into making clothing :)

It's really, really complex to "solve" the many issues of the fashion industry (for instance, boycotting fast fashion would jeopardize many livelihoods), but buying less is an excellent start. Companies are taking note and adjusting their business models to be more environmentally friendly. It's nowhere near perfect, but things are changing.

(btw this is not a dig at people who buy fast fashion. I do discourage it, but it's a very complex issue. I occasionally have to since I can't always find what I need secondhand.)

Listen I'm a little drunk but... yarn crafts are so important. Textile arts are the backbone of society. All of us take our clothing and accessories and upholstery for granted and it's honestly shocking

I used to buy affordable t-shirts and they were comfy and nice, now I buy them in the same price range and they're sandpaper. They don't wick away moisture and the print comes undone after two washes. I buy denim and the crotch falls apart in months. I read about how modern Singer sewing machines are disappointing and then look at the delicate machining and the beautiful finishes on my 1875 machine and wonder if this is progress?!

Reblog if you're desperate for clothing that doesn't feel like sandpaper or if you like machines that go thunk instead of going obsolete in two years
