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
Wool is the most environmentally friendly fabric despite being an animal product.
Using wool isnt even harming sheep
More than that, it’s BENEFICIAL to the sheep
Well shearing them is, but once it’s off you might as well use it.
A man suspected of pulling wigs off the heads of Orthodox Jewish women in North Hollywood, California, was arrested Wednesday, the Los Angeles Times reported.
Police believe the women were targeted because they’re Jewish. The man was not immediately identified.
He is accused of three instances of battery, the Times reported.
An 80-year-old woman said that on Yom Kippur, the holiest Jewish holiday, she was followed by a man on Bellaire Avenue. He “grabbed the wig off her head, smiled and handed it back to her,” according to a Los Angeles Police Department release.
Later that day, the man attempted to take the wig of a 36-year-old woman, according to the LAPD.
The same man seems to be responsible for ripping the wig off a 58-year-old woman on another afternoon, as she was loading musical equipment into a vehicle. Police said he apologized to her “in a sarcastic manner” and threw it on the ground.
“The suspect appears to have battered the women and targeted their wigs because of their religious beliefs,” the LAPD said in a statement. “Orthodox Jewish women often wear wigs, scarfs or hats to cover their hair as a symbol of modesty.”
“Why does the third of the three brothers, who shares his food with the old woman in the wood, go on to become king of the country? Why does James Bond manage to disarm the nuclear bomb a few seconds before it goes off rather than, as it were, a few seconds afterwards? Because a universe where that did not happen would be a dark and hostile place. Let there be goblin hordes, let there be terrible environmental threats, let there be giant mutated slugs if you really must, but let there also be hope. It may be a grim, thin hope, an Arthurian sword at sunset, but let us know that we do not live in vain.”
