part of this is definitely the autism bc i only buy things i know i Love and then sometimes i have to do the thing of buying two of them so i can wash one and still have one to wear, and i also get so attached to things i cannot fathom getting rid of them

but i think even if you’re buying from a fast(er) fashion place because that’s all you can afford, if you then wear it regularly for years and years and years that’s actually probably better than buying sustainable stuff and only wearing it seven times

@doodlebeth
the comments were saying that it’s a bit skewed bc a lot people will have things for like a costume or something they only wore once so it brings the average down, also the number might include clothes that are made but never sold or worn which is a massive issue in itself 😬

i know stuff from shein etc has a reputation for falling apart almost immediately but i would probably class supermarket clothes as fast fashion and i’ve had jeans from sainsburys for over five years now that have lasted incredibly well considering the amount i’ve worn them

i wear one of these (“nose mask clip” on etsy!) and also an “ear saver” at the back because it pulls the mask tighter to your face and makes a seal - i’m autistic and the glasses fog was causing rly bad sensory overload and this has basically solved it!

if i, an asthmatic, get covid + die, it won’t have been the asthma that killed me. i’ve had asthma for 26 years, + it’s currently extremely well controlled, i’ll live the rest of my hopefully long life with asthma. if i get covid + die my early death won’t have been inevitable
The language used about people with pre-existing conditions bothers me. Having a condition doesn’t all of a sudden mean you’re disposable & early death is inevitable. Some of you sound like eugenicists & its nasty. This isn’t survival of the fittest & whoever dies it’s “oh well”.

we don’t “feel” unable to work we’ve been ASSESSED as unable to work by the incredibly dehumanising and punitive system, if the *DWP* agrees we’re too unwell to work who the fuck are you to say otherwise
Jeremy Hunt says he wants those who feel unable to work because of physical or mental health conditions to receive medical and therapeutic help as a condition of receiving their out-of-work benefits uplift, as a pathway back to work. But this seems less than practical - even…

this is also what happened with jacqueline wilson a few years ago iirc - out of nowhere in an interview she was asked something like “do you think they should be doing unnecessary surgeries on children” and obvs she was like ?? no of course not?? and the terfs were like ONE OF US
Judy Blume was asked about online harassment and said she's against it. This was then framed as her supporting anti trans views and she had to make clear that she doesn't. This is what we're up against. It's an unprecedented level of misrepresentation.
