About one in 12 sheep is gay, but when rams prefer the company of other rams, they're considered a commercial failure and slaughtered. In Germany, some are lucky enough to end up in the Rainbow Wool sanctuary, a biodiverse sheep farm that prioritizes animal welfare, run by Michel Stücke and his partner Jochen. Last month, the wool from some of those sheep was showcased by LA designer Michael Schmidt in his "I Wool Survive" collection, a collaboration with Grindr and publicist Kelly Cutrone. Dazed talked to Schmidt and Cutrone about the collection. Learn more about Rainbow Wool — including how to sponsor a gay sheep — at the second link.

👀 If you could see microplastics, you would see them EVERYWHERE.
Microplastics have been found in the 🌬️air we breathe, the 🍏food we eat, and even in 🫁organs and 🩸blood.
The only way to reduce microplastics is to cut plastic production.

RE: https://mastodon.social/@greenpeace/115650407839633653
since re-booting my #sewing life, i’ve learned how insidious the #petromafia is in #fashion with #polyesters.
when we made our clothes, we learned fabrics #tech. #globalization for #consumerism killed that knowledge.
most people don’t know polyesters don’t burn, they melt ―and that will kill you in a fire.
you know what’s the least flammable fiber? sheep wool.
no wonder Italy’s military uniforms are sewn in the finest of EU wools ―industries historically protected from capitalist predation

Neither the one above, nor this one, were the exact photos I saw of it. The one embedded from Blue Chunks on BikingInLA.com is a better shot, but I'm not sure if that's where it originated.
This is the same event. Looks like the designer's thesis work was borrowed (likely with permission) to make an impact while asking for cycle lanes.
