And the thing that sucks is that they could have made this gear in-house and sold it at the same price. That would be truly empowering. I have friends who are relatively successful cothing designers who make locally (in Australia at $20/hr nonethless) who could easily pull-off $150 stretch pants. It just means lower…

Honestly I think its because they know we’ll just keep forgetting about it. At the end of the day more Westerners still care more about about being fashionable than being ethical. It really sucks.

Dude, there is so much information out there about the social and environmental impact of fast fashion. If you’re out of the loop its because you’re purposely keeping your head in the sand.

Maybe you don’t, but there a lot of us here that are pretty aware of the social and environmental consequences of fast-fashion in general and are calling out Adidas, H&M, Beyonce, Kathy Ireland, whoever, doesn’t fucking matter. I wish sites like Jezebel would be more diligent about critiquing exploitative practice,…

She’s marketing herself as socially “woke” or whatever (sorry I’m old/out of touch now), so she needs to practice what she’s preaching. Otherwise she setting a really bad example. Its like greenwashing but for social practice.

My go to now is to get designer clothes made in America/Europe/or other high wage countries second hand on ebay. There seems to be a large subset of cashed up women buying items and wearing them for one or two seasons then cosigning them for 1/3 the price. Its sort of the best of both social and environmentally sound…

Oh my god. Are people really this stupid?

Have fun on your trip!

Are you experiencing nice colours? You should should watch some music videos...... Sorry not sure what time it is there, but I could send some links (I’m in Australia)

I’m suddenly curious about any Prince Harry/Obama(s) sexy fan fic that might be out there. I’m sure I’m the last one to have thought of this.

Omg I used to do this as a kid with my parents coffee creamer.I haven’t lived Stateside in years and it’s so good to know COB is still on the shelf and someone is keeping the flame alive.

Interesting. As a just scraping by thirty-something bisexual doctoral candidate that still wears khaki cargo shorts, volunteers, and votes in every local and state election despite living overseas, I find these generalizations (white, straight, entitled, bros, hipster, naive, etc) both insulting and hypocritical. You…

quick! eyes over here girl!

These pictures confirmed once and for all that I am old. I think I’m okay with that, because these kids appear completely insufferable.

Sorry I didn’t reply to this until now, but I think my more recent response to you in a another thread response sums it up. Until elected representatives are no longer financially sponsored by the industries that capitalize on waste by externalizing the true of costs of their products onto people and the environment,…

If you are ever in town you are more than welcome to join us to at the top of the hill to share some mushrooms while we watch the world burn in slow motion below. The view is both absolutely heartbreaking and overwhelmingly beautiful at the same time. We’ve been up here for the last decade and will probably be fore…

Where do you live and what kind of daylight do you get?

So you don’t think we should be making a hard move to zero-emission renewable? Why not? How much do you understand about the socio-ecological consequences of climate change? Is the coal industry more important to you than sustainable agriculture? Don’t mind a potential Fukashima in your backyard?

I’ve said this else where.....we want $15 because for anyone who has dependants or debt, $12 is not livable. That extra $3 is the difference between seeing a general practitioner for preventative care or not, being able to take an unpaid sick day or not, being able to buy fresh food and not. To anyone who has had to…

Love your username.
