The United Auto Workers are also negotiating new contracts with the big three US car manufacturers and have announced that they're prepared to strike if they can't get a fair deal.
"how to look androgynous" "nonbinary fashion tips" you are skinny im not listening to you
ALTYoure supposed to interpret it as "skinny nonbinary ppl see themselves as the default state of being nonbinary and exclude fat nonbinary people constantly especially in discussions of presentation" hope that helps

This looks less usable than court clothes, and that is saying a lot.
All due respect, but I’ve gotta disagree and vehemently. If the standard you’re measuring runway fashion against is the same standard you’re measuring Walmart jeans against, that’s basically the same as applying the same standards of quality to visual art versus literature. They’re two different things with two different goals. Off-the-rack clothing should be usable, yes, and a lot of it isn’t these days, especially for women, and that’s an issue. But it’s a separate issue.
Runway fashion isn’t for using. Runway fashion is more sculptural art than anything.
(Which is why it pisses me off so unbelievably much that fashion houses are now using AI to create runway looks. That’s like ‘the world’s biggest virtual-reality Cinnabon!’ it’s just pixels you can make it any size you want you don’t have to bake it I am not impressed. Anyone can digitally illustrate a physically-impossible dress. Now, that bitch who did the whole line of ‘glitch’ dresses where one was upside-down on the model and one was a foot to the left and one was clipping through her horizontally but all of them kept the shape of A Dress Someone Is Wearing? And actually made those dresses in meatspace? That’s fucking artwork.
Not to mention that I actually respect the people who take the time to digitally illustrate an impossible dress. It’s just a different art form than sculpture! Which is what these fashion houses are trying to claim theirs is! Which is why they’re a pack of spoiled douchebags and we should eat their kneecaps!)
But I digress. There are many important criticisms to be levelled at runway fashion, but ‘it’s impractical to wear in real life’ is not one that I find meaningful. It’s not meant to be worn in real life (except maybe to a one-night, once-in-a-lifetime awards show event). Yeah, it’s gonna look stupid and get in the way if you try to wear that out into the garden to pull weeds, because that’s not what it’s for, any more than the Elgin marbles are meant to be used as doorstops. It’s showing off what fabric can be made to do. It’s textile sculpture.
also like this is an important history lesson too
because court gowns/ball gowns/other historical formalwear? also not meant to be worn in real life
“oh I can’t imagine how dirty that train would get! how do you walk around in such intense panniers?! that ruff is so impractical!”
yeah, they’re meant for standing around looking pretty in specific, brief cirmustances. indoors usually, or outdoors with some barrier between Skirt and Ground
our ancestors weren’t stupid. situational clothing has always been a thing
Just so we're all on the same page with the writer's strike.
If during the strike, it's announced about AI generated shows. We are not watching them. Not even out of curiosity. Let them fail every AI generated show they try make.
The human voice can not be replaced by AI. Don't let them try.

ALTThis is the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard, how the fuck would you even enforce that?

It's impossible to define woman in a way that excludes all trans women and doesn't exclude any cis women, but defining women in a way that excludes all human women trans or cis is a pretty amazing fuckup.
Pour one out for all the stories you'll never find again, that you barely remember in totality, but that left an impression on you that you'll never forget.
The short stories from standardized tests that you only had a few minutes to read, but those minutes will last a lifetime.
The books on the library display shelf you used to occupy time until your mom could come pick you up from school.
The graphic novel you picked up when you were first getting into comics and could never find again.
The single lines or themes from stories you otherwise don't remember, save for the one thing that you saw and internalized as a new part of your personality.
Let's pour one out for the books that built us, even if we never could find them again, and couldn't of we wanted to.
