argh argh argh I just wrote a VERY long reply to a post about thrift stores, because I keep seeing the hot take that boils down to “rich people are ruining thrift stores and stealing from the Deserving Poor” which is incorrect on SO many levels, but tumblr OF COURSE ate the post and I do not have the energy right now to type it all out again

shortest possible version:

actual rich people do not spend 6 hours digging at the value village. they buy online or from stores that are already curated.

the person who thrifts for midrange designer pieces to resell on poshmark or whatever is not your enemy.

the vintage seller looking for clip earrings and pillbox hats and novelty salt and pepper shakers is not your enemy.

they are shopping from the same functionally infinite pool of used goods as you, and there will be a fresh truckload tomorrow.

your actual enemies are the corporations who dismantled the unionized garment industry in the 70s, and kept wages flat as cost of living rose so that ethically-made good-quality clothing is unaffordable even for the middle class.

I hold images like this in my heart to help me hold on until the pandemic is past.

jk rowling’s new book being about a murderer who dresses up as a woman to kill his victims is a good example of how seperating the art from the artist can be harmful-if we accept the work at face value, without addressing how the biases of the creator are expressed in what they make, we’re liable to internalize those views ourselves, which is exactly what they want

For all my previous adoration of the book series world - which actually resides in the hearts and souls of AU/fanfic surrounding it - and the posts I made here around it, etc., I want to be perfectly clear:

Trans women are women.

Trans men are men.

Non-binary people are non-binary people.

That Author is a vile human and I hope the publishing house that had the terrible idea to accept said author’s hate speech novel will think better of that decision. I am angry and sad and disappointed that something I loved so much turned out to be hateful, but it *did*.
