    producing a pair of jeans costs 20k liters of water. the infinite hunger for cotton production has devastated the environment and the way of life of ethnic groups in Central Asia for years, giving way to their very own concentration camps. the textile industry's labor practices and environmental footprint is insane. the people behind its expansion are as horrible as tech VCs. why are we not judging each other for using clothes?

    @lzg Are we not low-key judging people who participate enthusiastically in fast fashion—and getting into mending our own clothes and thrifting harder?

        @lzg I have started taking in my pants to be mended instead of replacing them when they develop holes, and also buy most clothes used 🤷‍♂️

              I'm the kind of person that can keep a pair of pants in circulation for a decade. My mom's sewing machine is not a hobby, it's a freakin' future investment (especially when I started getting thinner)

                @lzg took years of practice. But I'm now extremely confident in my ability to judge people for more than one thing

                  @eamon @lzg my mastodon timeline is overflowing with anti ai sentiment (including mine), but I think the reality in a lot of the industry (silicon valley centric) is most folks are all-in, either from genuine enthusiasm or fatalistic resignation

                      @lzg Saving this for the next time my wife tells me to throw out a pair of pants merely because it has a few holes in it.
