Since I heard the TryPod on YouTube first (maybe it'll also be on Patreon?), I wanna comment on this week's TryPod here! Hi everyone! To learn more about Fast Fashion, I'd recommend watching some documentaries (The True Cost especially) and Hasan Minaj's Patriot Act episode on fast fashion. Afterward, you feel awful but better informed and there are healthy ways to react to this new understanding. One, I stopped buying brand new clothes and only buy secondhand clothes from either Goodwill or ThredUp (been a customer for several years). Good quality clothes are always cheaper as secondhand and shopping is much more fun because you actually have no idea what amazing thing might appear in the next rack you go to. I learned to darn, which is a cool skill to have, and embroider by hand, which is a great way to repair a small hole in a favorite shirt or pair of pants. There used to be a hole there and now there's a f*cking bumblebee, ladybug, four-point star (a la Cinderella's bippity-boppity-boo moment), or heart (f*ck yeah I love myself enough to sew hearts into my clothes lol). Los Angeles has some great secondhand shops that support charities (and even places like Goodwill have some amazing finds if they're located in rich neighborhoods - Louboutin shoes for $20 for example). Secondhand shopping could even be its own video. Another way to respond to fast fashion is Historybounding, and there's a whole movement (on YouTube and other areas of the internet) of amateur clothing historians who research how clothing was made in a certain era, realize how much sturdier and better quality clothing used to be, and seek out reproduced clothing from that era or attempt to make their own. Often learning that a custom-fit shirt is more comfortable than a baggy shirt and boosts self-confidence. Bernadette Banner is a YouTuber who's become fully committed to a librarian, witchy, Victorian aesthetic and hand sewed an entire female!Sherlock Holmes outfit a while back. I learned to hand sew from watching her and am repairing my dog's bed with denim from a pair of jeans I bought at Goodwill. Almost done, just need to finish a seam and my dog's nails won't dig into the memory foam anymore. Anyway, I think y'all might like Historybounding! There's a male tailor in the UK, Zack Pinsent, who dresses every day in clothing from the Regency period of fashion and has a really cool Instagram. Worth a look at least. Bernadette released a video four days ago titled "Why Are You Dressed Like That?" that goes into historybounding and what it means to her, and to her friends and fellow YouTubers Rachel Maksy and Morgan Donner (who mixes historical clothing with modern clothing and wears them every day in a way that still manages to blend in at work). This is too long. I hope y'all will consider it! Loved this week's TryPod, and I hope to hear more on your opinions about fast fashion!

Don’t worry about it! Whatever it is, I know it will be worth the wait! 😊

Good. Y'all got some time to yourselves not working.

Take all the time you need.
