Absolutely amazing how AO3 is a part of the internet that doesn't sneak in any ads and doesn't have an algorithm and doesn't watch you or record how much time you spend looking at each fic or whatever. It's just right there to use for free. Legend

Acknowledging that “critical thinking” means “thinking about things in a thorough way from different perspectives” and not “finding every flaw in a thing and fixating on it until all the joy is gone” is so liberating.

It’s supposed to be about intellectual curiosity, not about finding ways to devalue things that aren’t perfect or that we personally dislike.

also to the random guy at the antique store: I saw you take out and leave that elon musk mug with hearts around his face and then drive away in your cyber truck. are you not proud of daddy musk anymore ? you abandoned the carcas of your golden calf yet rode away wearing its skin for all to see

I was going to share  a post today reintroducing myself to you because Clotheshorse isn't an organization or even a collective of people. It's literally just one person, me, Amanda.

BUT then I got really riled up this morning because one of my friends (and clients) @jennylemons was blatantly (and I mean, BLATANTLY) copied by @tjmaxx.  Of course, this is one of many examples I have seen over the past month alone...and just another in a virtually uncountable series of I have witnessed in my adult life.

So let's talk about this again:

★ Stealing from artists, makers, small brands, and small businesses is NOT CUTE. 

★ It's not a "victimless crime."  This kind of design theft can destroy a small business.  And to be clear, as a person who's entire day-to-day work life is working with small businesses, many of these businesses literally support the owner and their family.  No one is getting rich. Maybe they employ a few people to help them out.  When a big company introduces a cheaper version of a small brand's work, the owners can no longer employ anyone.  Soon they can't even support themselves.  @kategabrielle literally had to sell her house after copies of her bag became rampant on Amazon.  

★ Stealing from artists just widens wealth inequality. When we buy a dupe from somewhere else, we're just giving more of our paycheck to billionaires, rather than supporting the individuals around us.  And these big companies are stoked because they just found a way to make money without actually paying designers to create stuff for them.  Ew.

★ Fast fashion everything isn’t doing you a “favor” by creating a cheap knockoff of something you like. They are just profiting from unethical behavior. And I know you don't want to be a part of it.

Listen, I get the desire for something that you just can't afford.  Welcome to many days of my life.  But as I share in this carousel, when I really wanted a Psychic Outlaw dress but didn't have the $$$, it was SO worth the wait for the day I could afford the real thing. It just feels so good to support someone whose talent you admire

“I don’t get it, do trans men want to be treated like men (read: like cis men) or not? We treat them like men and they complain, but if we treated them like women they would also complain. I don’t get it!”

How’s about not treating different genders of people differently solely because of their gender?

Why do you treat men and women differently?

Is that not the exact cis patriarchy we’re trying to do away with?

"It doesn't help your credibility to exaggerate, most employers wouldn't literally work you to death" like, I used to work in distribution. If booking a truck driver for back to back shifts until they fall asleep at the wheel, crash, and die counts as being worked to death, I have personally met employers who've worked employees to death and gotten away with a slap on the wrist. It may not be universal, but it's a hell of a lot more common than a lot of us would prefer to think.

Everything needs to be glass, if it can’t be glass it needs to be ceramic, if it can’t be ceramic it needs to be wood, if it can’t be wood it needs to be stainless steel, if it can’t be stainless steel it needs to be stone, if it can’t be stone it needs to be glass
