Quiet luxury. Clean girl. Old money. Trad living. Kylie Jenner’s pivot from Black culture vulture to glass skin pilates princess. College youth dressed like polyester Shein replicas of Reagan-era prepsters. Something’s happened, and I’m uncomfortable.

hii so a couple years ago i bought these pants second hand, they were just a plain pair of camo pants, and i honestly hated them cause they weren’t even good camo, they were just ugly camo, but being the size i am i take what i can get usually. it only took wearing them for less than 10 days before they started to completely fall apart…i am autistic so i find comfort in wearing the same thing over and over. i was wondering why they had come apart so fast, and i noticed the tag on them said “fashion nova”. in 10 days, the inner thighs and crotch/butt had been entirely worn away by my walking, the back of the pants had somehow ripped apart, the belt loops broke. i don’t have a lot of pants that fit comfortably. especially since gaining more weight. but even though these pants are absolute fucking shit, im going to keep wearing them and trying to fix them and make them last as long as i possibly can. cuz im too fucking broke to buy any new pants and almost all the ones i have don’t fit anymore. i will patch them up everytime they start to rip apart and i will add my own stuff to them to make them unique. so far there have been several patches added to cover up the places that were becoming nonexistent, as well as other handmade patches for bands i love including doom scroll, acid bath, we the heathens, amigo the devil, the used, bridge city sinners, a couple local hardcore band patches there as well as some anti-fascist ones too. on the top lip of both pockets on either side of the pants i’ve sewn on a zipper and some spikes from another pair of pants, and there are two black jean straps hanging from either side of the pants that have been splattered in bleach. and they’re not pants anymore either btw cuz i cut them into shorts. gotta love giving clothes new life when they were made to be thrown in the dump within a WEEK BRO…long live new flesh death 2 old skin. fuck you fast fashion and fuck u capitalism forever.

every single time a conservative opens their mouth the only thing i hear is "something something tax payer money something something" and my guy, im really sorry you have surrendered to seeing the world and human society as purely a series of monetary transactions and feel that to earn the right to live a good life people need to pay you back specifically but some of us still have glee in our life

Reminder that a French MP this year performed a nazi salute and got a "rule reminder" as a punishment

But showing a Palestinian flag gets you a 2 week suspension and a public burning in every national media.

on a reasonable level I can recognise how the change in men's fashion changed with the beginning of 1800 due to the ideals of the French revolution and later colonialism changing the general view of gender and of nobility. On a personal level, however, I hate it

wild to me that the guy who wrote one of the most cited (in my opinion/ experience) articles defining fascism is also a dude i regularly cite/ refer to when im writing about dress and fashion. like yeah he wrote about fascism and that writing is increasingly relevant but also, he wrote an article about wearing a pair of jeans

I'm not sure why, but the fascists have stunningly good outfits. I'm pretty sure that it's because of their whole 'cult of personality' and propaganda thing they got going on - which disgusts me - but we got some good fashion out of it.

(sigh) fascists gotta ruin everything.

[righteousdelusions]

Well, achkually, it's about fighting the fashion fascism with the power of nude fashion but shhhh

[stelashe]

Why are ALL trending/mainstream songs from 20 years ago or covers/remixes/mega mix remakes of 'old' songs?

[mundifinis]

in a complaining about andor mood like it was good but also the general reactions to it....... like everytime the empire was doing some evil facist shit, there were some fans that were like the *insert abby lee miller voice* "oh... my god 😳" and acting like it was something new and never before seen stuff when like this stuff exists like as we speak. like an example is i noticed many americans acting shocked about the prison labor stuff but like if you researched.... THIS STUFF IS STILL GOING ON IN OUR COUNTRY (as well as many others!!!!!!!!!!!) and it's like such a privileged view to just live in your bubble and not have to acknowledge the fact that this doesn't exist in just star wars and like idk it's like they needed andor to show what fascism looks like

ROUND THREE: MATCH-UP ONE

Remember, this is NOT about who would win in a fight. This is about who makes the best leader for Mandalore as a whole.

Explanation post

Seeding

Propaganda below the cut! You can submit more on this post and I will reblog it back to here!

SATINE KRYZE

Anon: Satine because she served. Mandalorian fashion week would love her. Manda'slay.

Anon: Satine Propaganda: Was supported by the STRONG MAJORITY, led Mandalore to be in peace for NEARLY 20 YEARS, didn't ban mando'a or armour or any part of the culture like fandom claims, is a good fighter, considered EVERY Mandalorian a Mandalorian and didn't discriminate

@lightsaberwieldingdalek: Satine propaganda: she actually ran a functioning government. Not a mercenary band, or a death cult, or a terrorist extremist organisation, an actual functioning government. Yes there was corruption, corruption she did her best to stop to the point of personally getting in firefights with smugglers, but she took a planet devastated by civil war and by the end of her rule she had schools, public works, and a justice system. - Sure, the rest can run military operations (and we don’t know Satine couldn’t, only that she *won’t*) but can they make the bins get emptied regularly to go to the recycling plants?

COMMANDER CODY

Anon: Propaganda for Commander Cody: - Cody was a student of Alpha-17, who in turn had been personally trained by former Mand'alor Jango Fett, giving him a strong training lineage claim to the title - Cody's service as Marshall Commander in the GAR gave him a lot of the diplomatic, organizational, and military experience needed to govern a planet like Mandalore

@spacetime1969: This man has led more people at once than anyone on this list.

Anon: Cody should be Mand'alor because it would be unspeakably sexy

@cha0s-cat: Cody has experience with negotiating from accompanying Obi-Wan, he leads a massive amount of his brothers already. Can recognize when there is a need for negotiations vs a need for violence. This would balance out the majority of the two factions (pacifists/traditionalists) excluding the extremists on either end. And with the amount of chaos that he has to deal with when it comes to Obi-Wan and Anakin, this would probably be relaxing.

@skykind: - Has resisted fascism and its attendant police/military state at great personal risk (Bad Batch 2.3), which is apparently necessary to successfully govern Mandalore so long as Death Watch is fully armed and also backed by someone more cunning than their usual leadership (Clone Wars 5.15). - Possesses exceptional leadership and organizational ability from his time as one of the highest-ranked Clone officers of the GAR. The Clone Wars and Bad Batch narratives furthermore present him as Obi-Wan’s peer, so he should be interpreted as equally skilled, wise, kind, and unhinged-in-battle as Obi-Wan. Jury’s out on the sarcasm. - Turns to diplomacy before fighting (Bad Batch 2.3). - Has caught a Jedi’s lightsaber mid-battle at least two times (Clone Wars 1.20 and Revenge of the Sith). This is a very useful skill to have as the prospective or current leader of people who keep chucking the darksaber about. - Has returned a lightsaber to a Jedi at least two times. This is a crucial skill to have as the prospective or current leader of people who should stop selecting said leader via darksaber acquisition.

@antianakin: [From the Boba vs Cody poll] So in a very practical sense, if I'm just looking at it with the question of "Who actually has the skills to be a good leader of people" [between Boba and Cody] then the answer is undoubtedly Cody. Cody was trained his entire life presumably to be a Commander in a large army and seems to do that very successfully for three years. He seems fairly humble, has good teamwork skills, he's kind and understanding and merciful, and he's a very skilled fighter. All of this would serve him exceedingly well if he chose to take on a leadership position, on Mandalore or otherwise. - The one downside to Cody is that Cody shows exactly zero interest in Mandalore at all. Cody does not identify as a Mandalorian at any point and never seems like he'd want to, let alone LEAD the Mandalorians. I do not personally see Cody actually being WILLING to lead Mandalore if offered the opportunity, even if he'd definitely have the skills to do so. I feel like if it were offered to him or fell into his lap somehow, he'd just pass it off immediately to the next most qualified person who was interested in it. Mandalore is not his problem or his responsibility and he's not about to change that.

There was a lot of discourse on the Bo-Katan vs. Cody poll, but it was largely "this is why the other character is a bad choice" rather than "this is why my fave is a good choice," so there isn't really a good way to include it.
