What happens to microplastics when swallowed? In earthworms, they do not leave the digestive tract https://phys.org/news/2026-06-microplastics-swallowed-earthworms-digestive-tract.html
Under new European Union rules, businesses must prioritise keeping unsold clothing or shoes in use by selling them (including through discounts or alternative markets), donating them to charities or social enterprises, or preparing them for reuse (repairing, refurbishing or remanufacturing).
Destruction will be allowed only under specified circumstances and must be carried out in accordance with the waste treatment hierarchy, giving priority to recycling

So, hanging on Revere beach and I’ve been struck by a fashion question:
How come men’s clothing doesn’t seem to do asymmetrical?
Like tons of women’s outfits today are asymmetrical in cut but i don’t think I’ve seen a single guys outfit that was.
Maybe a DieWorkWear question?

I think Carney was necessary to avoid the PP Problem, but house-of-cardsing parliament to a majority and then ramming through super dangerous legislation (of course compromising devices/communications will result in compromised devices/communications!) is some real conservative-in-liberal-clothing garbage.

The Glass People: The Materials of Madness, from the Glass King to the Simulation
More than six hundred years ago, the King of France stopped letting anyone touch him. Charles VI had iron rods sewn into his clothing and moved through his palace with the stiff care of a man carrying something breakable, because he believed he was carrying something breakable....
If you gain weight and no longer fit a piece of clothing, we say the too-small stuff is "outgrown".
If you buy bigger stuff then lose weight, is the too-big outfit "ingrown"?

Tokyo’s trendy Shimokitazawa district has long attracted young Japanese
drawn by its narrow winding streets populated by stores peddling used clothing, records and quirky memorabilia,
as well as small live music venues and eateries aplenty.
In the last decade or so, the number of overseas visitors coming to the district has grown exponentially,
with many dining there after a hard day’s shopping.
But the izakaya of Shimokita (as the locals call it) tend towards…

When Keyana Sapp, 31, went shopping for a new backpack,
the brands he remembered as a kid were just not the same.
He researched the companies, from North Face to JanSport and Eastpak,
and soon realized they were all owned by the VF Corporation after a wave of acquisitions in the 2000s.
After a Reddit post he made about his discovery picked up traction, he started looking at other types of consumer goods
– cookware, shoes, tools, clothing.

If you are grilling or sitting around a campfire and notice small insects flitting around in the smoke, try to get photographs. Could be a smoke fly in the genus Microsania (Platypezidae). Very, very rarely found but likely because people are not looking. Sometimes even attracted to smoke-infused clothing. This pic from Portugal is the only RG observation on iNaturalist. #platypezidae #flies #diptera #smoke #fire #grilling #bbq #smoking #insects https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/9396664
This party attracted a crowd that had clearly come to be seen.
Most attendees, wearing sunglasses and fetish-inspired clothing made of latex and leather,
seemed prepared to dance past sunrise.
Revelers were still bounding in as I climbed into a cab at 3:30 a.m.
Later that morning, I woke up with the music echoing in my ears and wondered: Is the party still going?

Hey Seattle/Portland friends.
Look out for information about this missing person. She was found, nearly dead, in the water near Vancouver BC in 2022. She died the next day, unidentified.
New analysis of pollen on her clothing indicates she might have just arrived to BC from the Seattle or Portland areas.
Apparently BC RCMP will be doing a news conference in the USA in the near future to try to find anyone who might recognize her.
