I’m trying the 7 pieces of clothing challenge idr the name but you only invest in 7 pieces of clothing in a year—which means you try and purchase clothes which are ethically sourced and sustainably made.

My dad is so insane

I’ve been reading about the Bhopal Gas Leak and mentioned it to my dad (his whole family was born/lives there) and TODAY is the first time he told me about how they were in the Old City and had to escape. He also said if it had been a few days later he would have been there on winter break from college 😭

knowing u existed when ur grandmother was carrying your mother is such a raw female experience and things like that rlly puts into perspective why men r so jealous and had to come up with whole religions that put like the father the son and the holy ghost above real female power. “you were made from Adam’s rib” yeah haha ok buddy. you’ve existed inside two female reproductive systems before u even knew u were ALIVE and have the gall to say some dumb shit like women come from? A RIB? LMAO

“Today, there are too many grifters and too few craftsmen. There are content creators, pop stars, and viral stunt artists, but very few produce truly timeless pieces of work that are labors of love and intended to outlive the creator. Modern artists take shortcuts; few embrace the difficulty of skill. Few are willing to invest their time and genuine interest in something that demands discipline. Few seem to have the patience and discipline required to produce good work that matters. One can argue that technology isn’t all harmful for art, as Michelangelo likely used a chisel when carving the David; but, there is an obvious point in which the convenience of technology starts hurting the sacredness of creation and replacing the beauty in art with nothing but hollow sensation. Technology starts becoming harmful when it is no longer facilitating the intrinsic purpose of art as a tool but utilizing art as a means to an end—whether that be for clout or profit.”

— Did technology kill the craftsman?

my regular post complaining about food waste in the name of entertainment. the extent to which we are comfortable laughing at food that is not needed, not even eaten—how is that funny. how is any of this gross overindulgence amusing. why does a meme about food being thrown around and destroyed make us smile. it should be sickening. so fuckjng out of touch it’s honestly frightening
