Sweet anon, I’d love to, but I basically have three full-time jobs right now. If I wanted to die, I wouldn’t even have time to lie down beforehand.

(Though at least I would die with Through Me stuck in my head.)

Anyway, I hope you’re doing well too 💕

I hate you polyester. I hate you rayon. I hate you acrylic. I hate you “40% cotton 60% other material.” I hate you polypropylene. I hate you “pleather.” I hate you nylon. I hate you synthetics and synthetic blends.

I love you cotton. I love you linen. I love you silk. I love you hemp. I love you plant leather. I love you wool. I love you bamboo. I love you alpaca. I love you jute.

Hi! I'm a sewing professional.

Rayon is actually made out of natural materials. Wood pulp, specifically. It's considered manmade/ "synthetic", because we do some chemical magic to process the wood pulp into something that can be turned into spun yarns. So while it's synthetic, it is not a plastic- and there's a few benefits to rayon from a sustainability perspective. For example:

The bamboo you're referencing in the second post is, in fact, rayon. Because rayon is manufactured by making a slurry and producing yarns from that, it means you can use material that otherwise would have been unsuitable for traditional spinning. Rayon is oftentimes made out of waste products from other manufacturing methods, too.

Rayon fabric comes under lots of different names. Viscose, tencel, lyocel, and anything that's called 'bamboo fabric' will be a rayon.

Rayon is naturally cool to the touch, super breathable, and usually has a lovely slinky kind of drape to it. It's an excellent choice for hot climates, and will continue to be a leading choice for sustainable fabric production. There's even rayon that makes use of old factory yarn waste. So don't knock it- it's a lovely class of fabrics with a lot of applications!

Avoid "acetate", though. Technically a rayon, but it's the lowest caliber of its type, and it doesn't play nice with water.

And uh, 'plant leather'... check your manufacturing process. A LOT of these are plant fiber, but suspended in or coated with a plastic matrix. Is it less synthetics/oil that straight up vinyl or pleather? Sure. But there's still a lot in there, and it'll still degrade more like their sunthetic cousins do.

And yeah, I'll say ut again- the best leather out there is still, well, actual leather.

On a night like this I remember the child

who came with fifteen summers to her name,

and she lay down alone at my feet

without midwife or doctor or friend to hold

her hand

and she pushed her secret out into the night,

far from the town tucked up in little

scandals,

bargains struck, words broken, prayers,

promises,

and though she cried out to me in extremis

I did not move,

I didn't lift a finger to help her,

I didn't intercede with heaven,

nor whisper the charmed word in God's ear.

On a night like this I number the days to the

solstice

and the turn back to the light.

O sun,

centre of our foolish dance,

burning heart of stone,

molten mother of us all,

hear me and have pity.

Christofascism, a term coined by liberation theologian Dorothee Sölle, is probably the best word that can be used to describe the sort of reactionary politics that is breeding in the United States. Christofascists effectively describe Christians that operate through their paradigm of religion in order to implement fascist ideology into policy. Christofascism is not limited to fundamentalists, "extremists," nor evangelicals, but can be found in several different denominations.

I would like to add that certain theologies that harmonize extremely well with fascism. There is a reason why the majority of Christofascists in America are white Evangelicals. But that doesn't mean there isn't fascist strains in Mainline Protestantism, Catholicism, and Orthodoxy.
