Re-wearing cosplays is one of the easiest ways to be more sustainable in this hobby.♻ How do you make cosplay sustainable for yourself? #reducereuserecosplay

It kept my shoulders warm, and has made it easier to re-wear this cosplay to even more cons! This is a small example of self-care, but when we're comfortable in our cosplays we want to wear them more often, and are less likely to throw them away. ⬇️

This might be a weird take, but I think self-care is an important part of being Eco-friendly. Let's use my Ewok #cosplay as an example. I wanted to wear it, with all of its fuzzy bra silliness, to an early spring con. I knew I would be chilly, so I made a shawl that fit the vibe of the cosplay. ⬇️

"my main white cape in the video was upcycled using old wedding dresses. And we also used deadstock fabric for the dancer’s clothes. That's fabric that's been in warehouses for long periods of time. And we also use pieces from my archive; so old costumes are reinterpreted..." ew.com/lady-gaga-ab...

Lady Gaga references 'Alejandro,' reuses own archived costumes for 'Abracadabra'
Lady Gaga's surprise 'Abracadabra' music video heavily references her classic 'Alejandro' video and reuses her own archived costumes.

Omg Lady Gaga up-cycled her own wardrobe for the Abracadabra music video??? I mean among other environmental sustainable things. But that's so neat! Reference below ⬇️

So I finally watched the Abracadabra music video and that primal scream in the middle must've hit something in me because why am I crying?

A Week In Progress 2025 #4: Jan 23-29 — Dewfeathers Cosplay and Dance
I am stubbornly continuing with all of my projects this week, including starting my first big cosplay project of the year! It might be happening in fits and starts, but I am making time for crafting. ...

🧵/3 As #cosplayers we are SO GOOD at thinking outside of the box. I love seeing that energy applied to sustainable practices, too 💚

Dewfeathers @dewfeathers.bsky.social · 27/01/2025
🧵/2 And I'll be using stuff already in my stash: fabric dye, worbla, paint, wires, headband, etc. ANYTHING you can do, big or small, to add a sustainable practice to your crafting makes you a part of the solution.

Dewfeathers @dewfeathers.bsky.social · 27/01/2025
🧵1/3 My current big #cosplay build will be mostly second hand materials or stuff I already had in my stash. Fabric sources: estate sale, pants that didn't fit me, FB marketplace destash sale. I have also purchased new materials for this cosplay: wigs, nylon glove, decorative cording, etc.

I think this is one of the most important things I've read in the last 24 hours. "Do the next right thing. Don't try to do all of your activism all at once. Focus on your specialty." My blog is, at its core, anti-capitalist. It's worth it to keep going.

Another step away from fast fashion in cosplay is to make your cosplays -last-. Line that cosplay, finish that seam, reinforce that stress point. Make them ✨️DURABLE✨️ and you'll have costumes you can wear for years.

I'll go first. My favorite from last year was my Korok and Dryad cosplays. I used almost all recycled and 2nd hand materials for the main costume, AND I can get 2 different looks out of it with just a few changed accessories. I can't wait to add more to it! (1st photo by Z, 2nd photo by @gormasmus)

Mark Zuckerberg scrapped fact-checking from Meta platforms. He's also added Trump ally Dana White to Meta's board and is helping fund his inauguration. Why is Zuckerberg kissing Trump's ring? Perhaps it's because of the FTC's antitrust lawsuit against Meta. Follow the money.
