If bad . Why hot?

Hey, friendly PSA from an Australian: please for the love of fuck do not buy UGG™ boots.

Ugg boots (generic term, not trademarked) are a traditional sheepskin slipper and are usually made by small family owned businesses using local artisans and Australian sheepskin. They are not a fashion item. They are the warmest and comfiest slippers you'll own, and the sort of thing so daggy I'd get embarrassed if my parents wore them out further than the driveway.

Then Deckers, an American footwear brand, decided to step in and trademark the term ugg. There was a protracted legal battle, and they lost the trademark in Australia but kept it everywhere else in the world. This means that Australian bootmakers can only use the word "ugg" in Australian markets. You'd better believe Deckers are suing any small business that dares try to sell ugg boots outside Australia, for copyright infringement and some bullshit about "damaging their brand".

On top of which, instead of high quality locally made boots where workers are getting paid fairly, they've outsourced production to China.

So fuck UGG™, fuck Deckers, and please support small businesses (if you can do so without getting them sued).

Imho the idea of ‘cruelty free’ products or food shouldn’t mean that nothing died to create it, but rather that anything and anyone involved in the creation process hasn’t been exploited or harmed.

Leather is good actually. Veganism isn’t the end all be all to morality and consumption. The issue isn’t that a chicken died for those nuggets, but that while the chicken was alive, it’s life fucking sucked. Vegan chocolate means little if the cocoa that made it was gathered by child slave labor.

Factory farms, abuses of the people who pick the fruit and vegetables we eat, the focus profit and productivity over all else - that’s the fucking issue here. It’s capitalism folks.

Don't impose on me what to do, teach me how to do it. Giant creatures on pixiv

Hey! Anybody who thinks maybe you should feel bad for the Royal Family...DONT.

Give any & all sympathy to people whos lives are gonna go from bad to worse because of the forced mouring, the disgustingly expensive funeral, the disgustingly expensive funeral, the rise in nationalism that will lead to more racism, homophobia & transphobia.

Give your sympathy to the working class who will have to prepare for black outs, choosing between heating & food, anyone with medical conditions or disabilities that will have their meds or aids become much more expensive.

Give your sympathy to people up North (Northen Ireland) because shits gonna get worse then it already was. Tension is gonna get worse & alot of people will fear reliving the fucking Troubles or N.I getting into a worse political & financial situation.

The family of that bitch who are either evil or draining England, Scotland, Wales, N.Ireland & the Isle of Man of their money. Don't cry for them or her.

DING DONG THE BITCH IS DEAD

Yeah, it’s time for them to go

The one my nana wished she had: not tripping over anything and everything, big and small

The one my nana actually had: every single watch she held or wore, would would stop working within the day and never be able to be fixed- even if she only carried it through a gift-wrapped box
