The #payup campaign has come full circle and is now being reported on in the Bangladeshi press. Incredible! "#PayUp has become a part of the outcry against racial injustice and a site of resistance against white supremacy." via The Daily Star thedailystar.net/shout/news/its…

#IQuitFastFashionBecause I heard these words from a Bangladeshi garment worker in the film Udita by Rainbow Collective 💚: "[My hopes are] That people who are buying clothes abroad stop and think about how much they buy for it and how much is the true cost for us here."

#IQuitFastFashionBecause I don’t really *need* any more clothes so may as well save my coin, spend it on a special second hand item/something from an ethical brand when I really want it or in another area eg books or activities

Hear this!

#Iquitfastfashionbecause trends and fads felt meaningless. Plus I wanted to support small businesses that were way more connected to their supply chains and clearly valued providence and ethics. Brilliant thread started by @AjaSaysHello.

#IQuitFastFashionBecause I grew tired of stuffy, poor quality fabrics that weren’t just irritating my skin but also harming the planet. Also, polyester could stick around for up to 200 years in landfill - scary stuff.

Love it!

Very grateful for the feature in last month's Expat Living Singapore! #expatlivingsg #expatlivingsingapore expatliving.sg/personal-styli…

I, for one, did not see it coming that a woman whose £500k branding deal is built on the backs of garment workers paid £3.50 an hour, might have horrific views on poverty and social mobility.

The climate crisis reveals that our civilization has never really been organized around science, contrary to the usual Enlightenment narrative. It is organized around capital. Science is embraced when it serves the interests of capital, and is often ignored when it does not.

Jumped back on Twitter after years to follow the Molly-Mae saga and entered a black hole of scrolling. Anyone else? 😅 #mollymae

“Another lady said: ‘I worked at the same factory and they deducted £70 from my salary.’ A third said: ‘I was working at that factory. I challenged the owner… He threatened me in the middle of the floor, saying: I’ll beat you here..." accounts of garment workers in Leicester.

#slowfashion thought of the day: Sustainable fashion isn’t about buying all the things. It’s about TREASURING all the things. Love, rewear, repair, repeat! #sustainability

The world forgot about the 33 million people displaced by floods in Pakistan after a week. Yet now everything is cancelled and stands still for 12 days to mourn a 96 year old multi-millionaire.

So, Kardashian Barker’s ‘sustainable’ collection campaign for boohoo is currently listed on their homepage alongside an ad for ‘PU season’ - almost 500 pieces designed with virgin synthetic plastic. You just couldn’t make it up. 😅#greenwashing #fastfashion #boohoo
