@Corpetty I appreciate you sharing this. If we’re going to start a healing process and perhaps a cultural shift, we need to be talking with each other, and to move beyond gendered assumptions and polarising politicking. We are each far more nuanced, layered and interesting than that.
To be clear, I’m in the trap too! Arrived here and was like oh fuck I need to get baggy trousers so I can melt in and not look like a dork… Had to self-talk to pull myself out of it. I like the trend here (top-bottomed shirts!), but I still wanna wear my Docs, k?
Why do we value homogeneity so much in fashion?
Middle class: can afford to buy in mainstream retailers => all look similar
Relative poverty: shop at Humana => hard to find trending anything
Wealthy: pay top-dollar to wear avant-garde fashion
Basically it’s all bullshit, right?
Would be nice if we all had more courage to wear whatever we want. If we all thrifted more, we’d be more individually unique and expressive — plus we’d be opting out of a horribly damaging industry.
We don't quit. Won't stop. Logos Circles in the trenches.
Join us to learn how you can rebuild civic society, find a community that cares, and push back against oppressive systems.
In which we chilled in a bucket of ice for 10 minutes 🧊 Such a cool experience 😆 Thanks @coldwatersocialclub @iisa_south_africa https://t.co/neY6krDmj2
Heritage went up in flames today💔. The Great IsiXhosa Dictionary as well as both Isigidimi Sabantsundu & Izimvo Zabantsundu were housed right there at Special Collections library. Just like that, it went up in smoke. Thoroughly heartbroken by this. #capetownfire
Science and democracy are strongly interlinked - as they are both built on freedom of speech, independence, facts and transparency.
If you don’t respect democracy then you probably won’t respect science. And if you don’t respect science then you probably won’t respect democracy.
