German videos – titled Balaclava Kitchen – started in 2014 and ran for months before YouTube took down the channel for violating its guidelines.
But it offered a glimpse of how far-right groups have seized on cultural production – from clothing brands to top 40 music – to normalise their ideas,
in a process that researchers say has hit new heights in the age of social media.
“It’s frightening, honestly,”
said Katherine Kondor, a researcher with the Norwegian Center fo…

Washing machine filter captures microfibers as small as 20 micrometers in size
A single laundry load containing synthetic clothing can release thousands of plastic microfibers from nylon, acrylic and polyester materials. Lab testing of an SA-made washing machine filter at Flinders University shows it can be a useful new way to help protect waterways from polyester and other synthetic microparticles.

I'm wondering if 4°C is warm enough for short. I mean, they ARE long shorts, so I should be ok with equally long socks.
These are the lengths (no pun intended) that I will go to, to not wear full length jeans.

Japan Daily on Instagram: "Abandoned suitcases are becoming a growing issue at Narita Airport, where nearly 900 pieces of luggage have already been collected this fiscal year—about nine times more than four years ago. Police say around 10% of the bags are empty, suggesting intentional disposal, with storage and disposal costs ultimately borne by taxpayers. The problem extends beyond airports to train stations and public spaces, often linked to travelers avoiding disposal fees after shopping. In response, Narita Airport is testing solutions such as clothing compression machines to help travelers save space and avoid buying new luggage. Retailers and repair businesses are also encouraging reuse through free take-back and resale programs, aiming to reduce waste and promote more sustainable travel habits."

Seriously, knowing the dire predicament we are in, we should be busy learning and re-learning how to produce food, clothing and housing on a planet transitioning into a radically different climate.

Dang it all. The dryer at our holiday accommodation appears to have, bizarrely, melted the zip (just a small section, but enough) on my Cactus shorts... and now I'm perpetually flying low. These are my 90% of days-type clothing in summer. Sigh. Luckily, I'll be able to take them in for repairs shortly... assuming I can find something to wear while they're at the shop.

Just finished folding and hanging some laundry. It occured to me to wonder when was the button-buttonhole combo invented, and by whom? Based on the archeological finding of bone needles dated to many 10s of 1000s of years ago, fitted clothing in one form or another has been a thing for a very long time. Maybe even Neanderthals did it. So fasteners of some sort would exist, but what about the button-buttonhole combo as we know it today?

"French Fast Fashion Law Could Reshape European Clothing Market"
#France #FastFashion #Fashion #Textiles

French Fast Fashion Law Could Reshape European Clothing Market | Happy Eco News
The French fast fashion law passed the Senate overwhelmingly, targeting companies like Shein with penalties up to 50 percent of product prices. The legislation aims to combat environmental damage from ultra-cheap clothing imports, though industry lobbying weakened original provisions before the bill advances to final parliamentary approval.

This video essay about the look of Sinners (which was shot on 70mm IMAX and Ultra Panavision) brought up something I hadn't realised until now: the large format gives you a wide field of view with the look of a telephoto lens! What that means is that you get shallow depth of field like in closeup shots with the framing of a wider angle lens.
Personal observation: there's also very little barrel lens distortion that usually comes with wide shots on 35mm.
