This Earth Month, @WasteShed is holding its 5th annual trash fashion show fundraiser DiscarDisco on April 13th, where recycled fabrics find new life on the runway. I spoke to the crafty community behind it all in my latest for @Chicago_Reader: https://t.co/7YhqADnKiR

Thanks to everyone who supported me and believed in this project (which is now almost exactly a year in the making), especially my former professor @thrasherxy for pushing me to become a better writer and community journalist with this piece.

Am really proud of my former student @juliamlowe on publishing "From Rubbish to Runway," a story on DiscarDisco, the @WasteShed’s annual fundraiser which unites "a community of dumpster designers—and teaches people how to sew" in this wk's @Chicago_Reader https://t.co/UXzaq9z448

@kemimarie Hi Kemi, I'm a journalist writing about Thinx and I would love to talk to a current customer. Could you dm me?

[Julia Lowe @juliamlowe]

Hi all. Still writing about Thinx and greenwashing in the menstrual product space. Still dying to chat with Thinx users -- or anyone who has experienced distress or disillusionment with menstrual products! #sourcerequest #journalistrequest #thinx #menstruation #period #menstrual

[Julia Lowe @juliamlowe]

#journorequest I'm writing a story about the Thinx period underwear lawsuit and the search for the most sustainable and healthy menstrual products. DM me if you've used Thinx -- whether you're no longer using them or continuing -- and want to talk about it!

[Julia Lowe @juliamlowe]

@sour_alyce Hi Alyce, I'm a journalist writing about Thinx underwear and other period product brands that have been accused of greenwashing. I'm looking to speak with former Thinx customers about their experience -- DM me if you're open to sharing!
