What Is Vegan Leather Made Of? Many Plant Leathers Are Being Used (greenmatters.com)

Yes, plant leather is a great idea (not better than animal leather, in my personal opinion, but that's down to each individual's thoughts on the matter). But unfortunately much of it just can't replicate many of real leather's beneficial properties- and a lot of plant leathers heavily involve plastic in their production. (source)

Look, ALL clothing production needs to be more sustainable at this point. The chemicals involved in tanning actual leather, unless it's organic leather, aren't good for the environment either. And I will never rag on someone for their choice to avoid real leather- we're all just trying, I hope, to make the best choices according to our values and within the confines of a broken system (as long as we're not hurting anyone else). For me, the massive habitat loss and environmental destruction caused by plastics production and waste is a greater evil than the deaths of individual animals in the production of meat and/or leather. So I choose real leather and try to make each piece last as long as I can, aware that any choice I make will have environmental impacts and is not perfect. Someone else might see it differently, and I really am not in a position to judge their choices.

However.

The term "vegan leather" is blatant greenwashing, and 99% of the time it applies to plastic. If people prefer to wear plastic to avoid real leather, that's fine, but they- and moreover companies -need to be honest about that. Just like synthetic fabrics should be called plastic, so should synthetic leather. Even some of the allegedly "plant-based" stuff, it turns out.

I'm honest that my real leather is animal hide. Time for the faux-green fashion industry to display some honesty of its own.

Elders of the Creek x ACNH

Barry does the hard work and actually pays off his debt

Has Animal Crossing dates with his online girlfriend

Terraforms the island and breeds flowers

David maxed out friendship with all villagers and coos at the letters they send him

Filled out the museum (especially the bugs exhibit)

His house is a mess, no time to organize. He just drops items on the ground until there's no place to stand

Mark mods his clothes and items to look cooler (his island still looks like a mess) and uses cheats where he can

I can Hear him argue with Daisy about turnip prices out loud

Actually visits the museum to read about the species David caught

The tiny menace's turn to be equineified

I love Uran a lot so I was very excited to make her and I think I did a pretty good job if I may say so! She's pretty simple but I think she looks very cute :) I tried to make her look like Astro but also different enough so you could tell she was built by somepony else. I HC (in normal Astro boy not just this au) that Ochan is a lot better at making organic-looking robots than Tenma, so I think Uran would pass a lot better as a pony (/human) than Astro. I gave her a pink band in her tail to match Astro's, his was meant to be reminiscent of his belt which ik Uran doesn't have but I thought she looked a bit bland with no other colour on her and it helps them look more related.

Ochanomizu built her with a cutie mark on her already but she ended up earning one on her own that just kinda replaced her old one lol.

[If you really think Vegeta's dad clothes in Super look better/suit him better than his fits in GT, you're wrong. Don't talk to me about the hair cut tho good god man what were you thinking. The mustache is stupid but not NEAR the offense of that fucking atrocious haircut and im glad they fixed it later in the series.

Honorable mention the amazing but too few casual fits from Z, too tbh. 🙌 Like I'm sorry but the dad look ain't it for him.

quite random but bc i get turbo ocd nightmares fairly often that tend to be about my intrusive thoughts and i've never actually seen any mention of it outside of asking my friends so i just want to say

1. dreams don't mean anything and never will they're just your brain entertaining itself in whatever way possible and there are no deeper meanings to them it's just nonsense conjured from whatever stimulus you've engaged in over time.

2. bc of the nature of intrusive thoughts being well. in your head. dreams or nightmares that take the shape of these thoughts and bring them to "life" in some way don't make them more real / less of an intrusive thought / etc. and anything can be considered a nightmare even if you don't wake up scared like a big dramatic chased by a dinosaur nightmare can. like if it makes you feel bad or anxious when you wake up that's a nightmare still, which is an easy, healthy way to reframe the thinking if ur struggling w these types of dreams

3. similarly if u dream of trauma/similiarly traumatising events that you have or have not 1:1 experienced but are still bc of said trauma, especially "sex dreams", these also mean nothing and are the same meaningless goop in your brain, and any reaction you may or may not have during or after the dream is bc of the same hormonal response your brain has to just about anything to do with sex. much like how someone sa'd who has a stimulated response didn't "actually like it", the only job of a dream is to in some way create stimulus and they're rooted in nothing tangible I Promise. reliving trauma of any kind in dreams is very common, doesn't mean you're suppressing anything or bad or secretly into it.

ok that's all kisses

“[Barbie Fashion Designer] was a bestselling software title in 1996,” said Rachel Simone Weil, video game historian and founder of FEMICOM Museum, which preserves the history of girls’ toys and games, to Polygon. “How amazing that we collectively completely forgot about it, and then it was able to rise back up into the collective consciousness, where it is today.”

Nice to see this article about Barbie Fashion Designer on Kotaku, but also genuinely amazed that apparently "we" forgot all about Barbie Fashion Designer, probably the second best video game I have ever played.

I found socks with my favorite flowers on them (nasturtiums!), but they literally don't match anything I own, so making an outfit with them is difficult.. just all black with the bright shoes and a random stuffed animal for accents lol
