looking up vintage/style name oftentimes pulls up overpriced resellers (LAME… end the depop industrial complex). but, if you look up the specific thing you’d like - e.g. “wool skirt” - you’ll likely find a lot more people listing that exact thing (including older more quality pieces) but with reasonable prices
(plus, it reduces overconsumption by making you think about if you actually need/want a specific thing or are just looking to buy random stuff)

Does your town have shit vintage? Overpriced and hard to find? I highly rate a quick browse through ebay. Especially for clothing. Bags can get a little exxy if you are looking for vintage designer but clothes can be found a plenty if you know what you're after. A simple search of 'vintage tartan checked kilt skirt' can return a wealth of options. Happy spending.

A fun game I like to play with myself is if I want to buy clothes, makeup, shoes, hair care, household items etc… I have to look it up on a resale site first where I will usually find it for cheaper and feel good about not contributing to a Bezos-centric society.

being traditionally cool is really quite boring and iterative, and it’s actually very cool and sexy to geek out about something you like or share bits of knowledge on a topic you’re passionate about

HAPPY INTERNATIONAL WORKER’S DAY!!!! i love having a union, i love being a union steward and getting to support my unit. when my union won its contract, i got a pay bump, better benefits, and increased protection as a worker. 🥳
unions help address racial and gender pay gaps, issues workplaces impose on families and those having kids, addressing unsafe conditions, plus things like better health insurance, wages and overtime, weingarten rights to representation, and more!!!
if you don’t have a union but are thinking about forming one, check out AFL-CIO’s page (linked) or Emergency Workplace Organizing Committee. there’s always more power in a union!! ✊🥖🌹

i had it for a little over a year until i was like wow this is actually terrible! i genuinely think it has negatively impacted society by ruining people’s attention spans, having a horrific algorithm, and most of all by the most mind-numbing or outright harmful trends -
fake words that people now use IRL (“unalive”), trad wife tiktok, shein hauls, body-focused fitness vids that encourage fatphobia and unhealthy habits, shallow political/feminist theory and queer discourse, “alpha male” podcaster tiktok, encouraging overconsumption in general, trends ruining local spots or niche things… the list goes on
