A TRUE MANN OF SCIENCE

Dr. Ludwig is the best in his field. Which field? Why, all of them! Chemistry, biology, necromancy… Is there anything he can't do? He's the best on the field, too. He's got your back, mein Freund...as long as you have his. In need of medical assistance? Just ask nicely, say the magic word, and don't be such a big baby. Whatever was in your chest cavity will grow back! If it doesn't, the good doctor has plenty to spare.

felt like drawing my medic loadout (˶˃ ᵕ ˂˶) .ᐟ.ᐟ

no but genuinely I lose a little more patience for people who won't wear wool, leather, silk, or fur every day that I live in a world where plastic is increasingly the only damn kind of clothing you can find (or the only kind of fabric for sewing, even)

obviously, animal cruelty is horrible. I believe that even industries that rely on the deaths of animals should make their lives as good and their ends as humane as possible. and many of these industries need tighter environmental regulations on their production practices- some of the chemicals involved are highly toxic and ill-controlled at times

but at some point, you have to wake up to the fact that the only alternative we've found to date is destroying our planet

it's all plastic. and plastic is horrible for the world- the environment, humans, and especially animals. how cruelty-free is it to cause mass habitat loss? or climate change that disrupts food sources for those animals on a vast scale? how is that better than the deaths of a relatively small proportion of animals comparatively?

(and don't even start with "but pineapple leather! but cactus leather!" when those are still basically plastic due to heavy plastics use in their production processes. there is currently no non-plastic alternative to most animal-based textile products)

I've always tried to keep in mind that we all have to decide where our line is, that we all consume and there's no way of living in this world that doesn't take something from it. that for me, plastic clothing is to be avoided as much as possible, and for others, animal clothing products are to be avoided as much as possible. that the choice is equally valid

but I'm having a hard time seeing it as valid anymore when it just feels like trying to push the unpleasant part away from yourself so you can pretend your choice has no negative impacts. you're not wearing animal skin (or wool that an animal didn't even die to produce), so surely your way of doing things is better! no animals were harmed in the making of your outfit!

except. they were.

they and all the rest of us.

#fuck plastic #except for medical purposes #textiles #capitalist hellscape #(because companies use 'going cruelty-free' as an excuse to make their entire lineup a cavalcade of plastic)#textile waste #plastic waste #'just wear cotton or linen or hemp!' I mean I do but also #I live in New England #good luck with that when winter comes around #just bought a wool mantle with a fur-trimmed collar (yes it's vintage fur) from a friend and I fully expect to get use out of it soon #I just want to be able to buy Real Clothing (ie Not Plastic)#I can for now but. how much longer will I be able to?
