Prediction: plastic shower curtains will go the way of styrofoam cups, disappearing slowly, then all at once. We’ll randomly see one in a movie or at grandma’s house one day and be hit with nostalgia.

Don’t vilify satin, she’s just a weave that likes to shine 🥲 You can have wool satin, cotton satin, silk satin… but if it just says “satin,” it’s usually plastic polyester satin. #naturalfibers #silkycrunch

Despite repeatedly raising concerns about labor rights, Nike has grown its presence in Cambodia from about 16,000 factory workers in May 2013 to more than 57,000 as of March. Read more: propub.li/4kIhjCC

Article excerpt: When police used stun batons to hit garment workers seeking a $14 monthly raise from a Nike factory in Cambodia in 2013, reportedly leading one pregnant woman to miscarry, Nike said it was “deeply concerned.”

The following year, when Cambodian police opened fire and killed four garment workers during widespread demonstrations over low wages, Nike and other brands sent the government a letter expressing “grave concern.”

One of the weirder things I’ve made is this graphic, with the socks each holy man is (probably) wearing under his skirt. It’s for my newsletter on natural fiber socks, ok?

'Dandelions,' was painted by the Danish artist Bertha Wegmann around 1910. It wasn't an arbitrary choice of a plant to paint: the dandelion was used to promote the women’s liberation movement in Scandinavia because of its capacity for uncontrolled, strong-willed growth.

Buying organic fruits and vegetables is the best way to avoid pesticides. But that can get expensive quickly. If you don’t have the funds to buy all your produce organic, prioritize swapping out just the ones that are higher risk for pesticides.

Laundry sheets or pods are not plastic-free. Switch to plastic-free tablets or powder laundry detergent to reduce plastic waste. The best ones we found were Blueland, Meliora, and Molly's Suds. go.shopmy.us/p-11243648

"The best and the worst thing about vaccination is that it 'makes nothing happen.' A child successfully inoculated against measles doesn’t fall sick with that condition, doesn’t miss school, doesn’t go to the hospital. They don’t suffer life-changing complications. They don’t die prematurely."

A leading pediatrician was already worried about the future of vaccines. Then RFK Jr. came along

In a new book, pediatric infectious disease specialist Dr. Adam Ratner details the history of measles, a virus that’s often a bellwether for public health disasters.

🔭 The Universe is a dusty place. This NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope picture shows swirling clouds of gas and dust near the Tarantula Nebula, the most productive star-forming region in the nearby Universe, home to the most massive stars known.

A portion of a nebula, made of variously-coloured layers of dust clouds. One upper layer is dark reddish dust which is dense and obscures light, in places so dense that it appears black. A middle layer is pale clouds that are thick like curling wisps of smoke. They form a broad bow across the centre of the image. Many small, bright stars lie throughout the nebula, coloured blue, purple or red depending on depth.

People are freaking out about the Washington Post article stating microplastics are accumulating in our olfactory bulbs and brains. Reduce microplastics inhalation at home. Get an air purifier in your bedroom and natural fiber bedding, since that’s where you spend 1/3 of your life.
