People really hate black women for no reason. I don’t get it.

How about we teach our young women to turn it into a positive, have confidence, wipe their tears and laugh because we’re too beautiful and confident to give any fucks! Y’all need some thick skin in a world like this.

OR motherfuckers need to stop being so anti black and making fun of black women’s features.

I like that option better. “Y’all need some thick skin” is not the solution.

Thick fucking skin doesn’t dilute the racism and vehement anti-blackness. Address it, name it for what is, actively combat it, and stop putting the onus on Black women to remedy the oppression they endure by racist fucking assholes.

There are a lot of times I feel like just…flipping the vegan script.

It’s not ‘polyester’ it’s plastic

It’s not ‘vegan leather’ it’s plastic

Its not ‘faux fur’ it’s plastic

Plastic is a pollutant and causes far more damage to the environment both now and in the future than leather or wool.

Please stop telling me that the Plastic Lyfe is the only life, it is not. My leather shoes will last a decade where pleather is lucky to last 12 months. Leather (and wool) decompose and are renewable. Plastic is neither of those.

THANK YOUUUUUUU~

A single wash cycle of plastic-based fiber (polyester, poly fleece, faux fur) may release 700,000 pieces of microplastic into our waters. Nasty stuff.

aw dangit

Plastics are also petroleum products, so the impact of their production compounds the impact of their waste!

Especially since non-food-safe plastics are barely subject to regulation as-is & the short product lifespan is considered a feature, not a bug— because it makes people have to go out & buy more new plastic whatevers whenever the old ones wear out or get tossed.

Veganism can absolutely be approached with an environmental angle, but choosing plastic shoes over leather & acrylic socks over wool does about as much to save the world as the last (or next) oil pipeline leak. You’re not a hero because you choose to wear vinyl. You’re just the douche wearing vinyl.
