One of the most outrageous cases of femicide in Italy. I suggest you search for the full story in case you haven’t followed. Abominable doesn’t even begin to describe it.

Thank you. Another brilliant book. Some passages made me shiver, some cry, others hope.

Things like “…a creature with self knowledge and an appetite for destruction”how Henry Gee describes Homo Sapiens in his new book. Oh how I love words well written. #declineandfallofthehumanempire

In an excited state of anticipation as I start @endofthepier.bsky.social Decline And Fall Of The Human Empire. His Very Short History Of Life On Earth a firm favourite. Already hooked in and I am only halfway through the prologue. 🙏🏼

A new study by Chaehyeong Lee and crew has confirmed that our oceans are getting hotter, and no, it’s not a tropical vacation vibe. Thanks to increased stratification, the ocean's surface is holding onto more heat. The North Atlantic is completely off the charts. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Yesterday for a moment I felt respite talking about my grandma’s dress. Hundreds of comments + advice on my other feed on ways to wear it, ways to love it. Gentle + fun. We women need to organise unlike men do. Find our own way. Our capacity for deep empathy is needed rn, in this shitshow.

More about my “later on” clothes. Items kept waiting for when I know I will like them. This was my granny’s, worn by my mum, lives in her wardrobe. Every time I come I try to love it but something’s amiss. Next year, next year. #lovedclotheslast

On this COVID-19 Day of Reflection, we remember those we’ve lost in Peckham and across the UK. Their absence is felt daily. Let’s honour their memory by strengthening our resolve to learn from the pandemic and build a better future.

To consume means to wear, to wear again, and then again. And then, when things are properly used, they become worn, and torn, and so, because I am a consumer, I might repair them, or I might not. #lovedclotheslast #longlivemyclothes #hellosunday

“…divert money earmarked for green investment in the UK to the defence industry”. Sometimes anger chokes me.

Overall, we have been worshipping at the wrong altars and now look! We pander and flatter the worst of humanity, those who bully their way into the top. We condone what we ought to condemn.

Every morning I avoid the news, remind myself that I am a droplet waiting to become a river and then an ocean, and that I find solace in doing small things right. Everyday I start with my clothes, showing my intentions. To keep, to repair, to care.

Hundreds of posts on Glenn Martins becoming creative director of Margiela. I want to see the same sycophantic fervour when machine operators, sourcing managers or expert seamstresses move up in life. We worship at the wrong altars. People in normal positions make products and profits possible.

So true. Saddens me that the development of our manual dexterity that so distinguishes us is possibly close to becoming our destruction: we make too much.

The original post was from Vestiaire, but the organisation on the ground is called The Or Foundation. Also interesting to look at the work of Kantamanto Social Club. That I know of fundraising efforts to rebuild the market are now suspended, but it is still worth following and supporting. 🙏🏼♥️
