Sine my horrified rejection of plastics in clothing (a hard journey, littered with failure since it is ubiquitous), I've found that the second-hand cottons etc can be mended. Might not always be easy, but it beats having to say goodbye to a favourite pair of PJs

These are not fully formed ideas but what I am sensing is a toxic combination of: - So few people reading quality fiction where you have to put yourself in someone else's shoes & actually pay attention, rather than reading passively. This results in lacking basic reading skills.
