Today we got out in the streets. And I gotta say it’s pretty shocking to me how much people hate protest. Anyways it’s the 10th anniversary of #RanaPlaza and if you don’t know please read up about what happened there. 1134 innocent lives lost.

I stuck a fake London Blue Plaque on the window of Primark’s greenwashing scheme. Whoever came up with the blue plaque’s is a genius.

Reminder: Primark still cannot guarantee they pay fair wages to the people who make their clothes.

The day ended with reading the names of all 1134 victims in front of Primark (yup they were involved). It was really somber. All those people just trying to do good honest work.

I'm going to do something I'm probably going to regret on Twitter. I'm going to share every eco friendly swap I've made that's saved me money. There's a misconception that sustainability is EXPENSIVE and I hate it because it keeps people from trying new things.
The reality is our grandparents were incredibly "sustainable" and they were working with a lot less. Moving towards a more sustainable lifestyle is more about mindfulness and slowing down. I've greatly enjoyed it to be honest.
It's scaling back and avoiding buying things you don't need. It's owning less. It's being more mindful about everything that goes in our shopping carts and bodies. Like I said, I'm much happier and I do think I save money. Not to do the avocado toast thing but ...

Today because of the #IPCC report (it's isn't good news), I feel the need to remind you that participating in sustainable and ethical fashion is a crucial part of fighting the climate crisis. I get new people every so often so it's always a good time to revisit the facts.
Mitigating the climate crisis sounds scary and hard. But that's only because we have poor leadership. Many of the solutions to this ALREADY EXIST! We just need the type of leadership that will implement. This is an opportunity to create a revolutionary moment for humanity.
I know you feel powerless. I know I have in the past. I know that people tell you that individual action is pointless. But you know what individual action creates? A cultural shift. And without individual action, we will never have that societal and cultural shift.

I think this is why we need to really talk to kids early about what good honest jobs mean to our society. Because we’re devaluing that and it causes this impact and others. Also garbage men are always the nicest people. They always wave at kids and shit. Make toddler’s days.
In our society we push everyone towards high paid jobs (which sometimes aren’t even that tbh) and when we do that as a whole … our society devalues the labor which keep society running like janitors, sanitation workers, people who make clothes … see where we’re going.
When things really start to go tits up for us plumbers gonna be raking it in. Heck they already are but that’s not really a trade we push people towards is it. We as a society treat jobs like bin man like you’ve failed at life but without those jobs society fails.

I haven't watched the Prince Harry stuff or read the book but I've caught little snippets of it about his relationship within his family and I think that's interesting because I relate a lot.
The thing about being perpetually single and the third wheel is that people start to get used to you in that position "good old dependable so-and-so" and the minute that changes they act really weird!!
My wedding was an absolute shitshow because my family was awful about it (I can finally say it aloud). I wasn't even sure if my siblings were going to attend to be honest which was cruel on their part. I didn't have a wedding party or anything. No hen do.

You are always closer to the person working in the factory for pennies than the billionaire at the top that pretends not to see any of us. Remember that every time someone you know tries to justify a system that harms other humans.
There’s a reason there’s a strike every single week in most occupations lately. It’s because we are desperately in need of change and more equal distribution of wealth. But that looks like recognising the ways in which we play our part in this too.
We’ve been taught that it’s perfectly normal to minimise the labor of others and accept the system where someone must get screwed. But we seem to believe the shit stick will miss us and yet wages have stagnated and things that previous generations could do are near impossible.

You know what's a really interesting way to research how people spend and buy fast fashion? @Refinery29UK's Money Diaries. You see no one who buys a load of fast fashion is ever super honest about it unless it's like their whole platform (even then there's dishonest).
I have found with Money Diaries that they're so eye opening as to who is doing the damage with fast fashion. It's totally not uncommon for six figure earners to spend three digits on fast fashion within their time of diary keeping.

This person is CLEARLY from a well off family but they can't seem to acknowledge it. They're a corporate lawyer, they admit they've never worried about money and yet they shop at ASOS. ASOS. WHY? Because they can and it's clearly not their problem.
