“I don’t think we’re born with a natural tendency to protect the environment. I think it’s something we learn if we’re educated and brought up to have the manners to care for the world. At some stage in our lives, the greed factor became stronger, and that has led us to the horrible situation we’re in now. A CHANGE IS NECESSARY, and I believe my films convey that.“ - Hayao Miyazaki
Look, it kills me, it absolutely slays me, that The Lord of the Rings isn’t a chosen one story when it comes to the One Ring. Yes, the ring was passed to Frodo, at first by the ring’s own choosing, but then came to him from the choice of hobbits. Bilbo wasn’t supposed to find the ring, wasn’t supposed to take it out of those mountains. And it was as if fate and magic had forgotten about the hobbits and underestimated them. And Frodo, that lad, that beautiful, strong lad takes the ring to Mordor! Not even because he’s a “chosen one” or has to. HE. DECIDES. TO. A tiny hobbit who had never known true adventure fought for the good in his heart. He chose to save Middle Earth. HE. CHOSE. THAT. Frodo’s story is all about choosing to be good, in the small things, the big things. It’s about showing everyone’s importance in this world. It’s about choosing to be better than those who would crush you, to fight against them, to fight for the good in the world. It’s about choosing that.

Rebel Wilson steals the show with HILARIOUS unexpected BAFTA 2020 speech
Come in from a run in the November morning, raise the blinds, let the sun soak the carpet and the dog curls in the warmth to rest. Decide on chocolate chip pancakes, and though it’s only just for you and though you can never get the consistency just right, it’s always the thought that counts. Hum, batter dripping from the whisk. You’ve been listening to jazz so much more, admiring the way the piano pours like molasses. Across the room, the heater kicks on. A handful of chocolate chips that never make it to the bowl. Your thick socks on the cool kitchen tile. A smile flirts with the corners of your mouth. This. This is how you learn to make the mornings yours.
Hello👋
i dont know who needs to hear this but you dont constantly need to be buying clothes.
fast fashion is problematic because its unsustainable, not tailored to all body types, and fails to pay workers (mostly women of color)
thrifting too much is problematic because it deprives the lower class of “trendier” items. this happens because girls who can afford more expensive clothes are buying them, making minor adjustments, and marking the price way up on depop. its gentrifying thrifting and making it hard for the lower class to find clothes. yes thrifting overall is a nice alternative to fast fashion but it can be overdone.
the better option is to keep clothing for as long as possible and repair it when its damaged. accept hand me down clothes. if a piece is needed for an occasion try to borrow it from someone. swap clothing to prevent being tired of it. also i acknowledge my privilege that i can afford to make my own clothes, so i will. i will learn to repair and make clothing out of sustainable fabrics.
sustainability isnt a one size fits all. acknowledge your situation and figure out what works best for you. oh and stop selling items you thrifted and added glitter to for way more than theyre worth on depop.
