Formerly a G Gundam blog, and you can still find that previous content. Now my blog mostly contains stuff from nature, gothic literature, and fairy tales. Icon by duskittycat.

Friendly reminder that:

  • The concept of starseeds promotes ableism by minimizing or denying ADHD and autism.
  • The ancient astronaut hypothesis promotes spiritual colonialism and destruction of other cultures by twisting other people's mythologies and sacred texts to fit their narratives.
  • The reptilian alien mythology is based on conspiracy theories historically used to justify oppressing and murdering real people. Loosh/blood/adrenochrome harvesting is just repackaged blood libel.
  • New Age mythology is chock full of repackaged right wing conspiracy theories, the same kind pushed by QAnon.
  • It's also full of repackaged racist pseudoscience about genetic superiority/inferiority and the function of evolution.
  • Ascension to 5D was supposed to have happened back in 2012, and the prediction failed.
  • New Agers are recycling their predictions over and over to catch new waves of people who don't know the movement's history.
  • Belief in Atlantis is strongly motivated by white supremacy.

Resources for Mending Clothes

We toss out over 80 pounds of textiles each year. These textiles are often made of plastic materials (polyester, nylon), made in unethical conditions, dyed with harsh dyes that often get put into the rivers, etc. Even a single cotton shirt releases carbon emissions and uses tons of water. 

So the best thing to prevent the unsustainable growth of the fashion industry is to make sure that your clothing lasts as long as possible. To do so, mending clothing is a must. So here are some resources to help you learn how to do various things, such as sewing a button, to tailoring clothes, or even upcycling old clothing into new styles. 

These are just a few of the things that you can do in order to make sure that your clothing lasts for a long time. Nobody wants to keep buying new clothing, as it is expensive and wasteful. 

So making alterations to your clothing, or fixing small holes hen you see them can be hugely beneficial to your wallet, to garment workers, and to the environment in the long term. 

Mending! It’s really satisfying, saves money, and saves the planet!

This year I feel like a ghost, feeling apart of everything, inside of my house reading or drawing, feels really strange.
