Defending exploitation of garment workers because you are also exploited is not class consciousness nor is it solidarity.

“Most clothes should cost way more than we’re used to in order to pay laborers fairly” and “some people can not afford to pay more for clothes” are connected facts that boil down to: people need to be paid more.

The thing about couture gowns is that they’re not just beautiful on the outside, they also have internal structure meant to support and sometimes shape the body wearing it. You’re not supposed to need anything else. No bra, no corset, no shapewear. The dress does the work.

Prime Day is a good day to remember that while Amazon was fined just $7,000 for dangerous conditions that caused an Amazon worker to die in Indiana, Jeff Bezos became $1.6 billion richer YESTERDAY & Amazon made $30 billion in profits last year.
Every Amazon worker needs a union.

There should’ve been systems and plans in place since Katrina on a state and federal level. Not profit driven plans, but life saving one’s. Where the disabled, incarcerated, homeless, poor and working class are provided for. Not left to live or die from the kindness of strangers.

Public transportation via bus systems, trains, hell even school busses should be used to get people out! It’s a sick society and system that’ll allow people to die if they don’t have the money to survive, while not making sure people have living wages to begin with.

Considering how many times our tax dollars have bailed out airlines, they should be flying people away from natural disasters for free. Nobody should be paying American, Delta, Southwest or whoever for a flight out. They definitely shouldn’t be able to price gouge tickets!

And suddenly everything, everywhere starts to look the same.
Absolute neutrality. No detail. No identity.
What does that say about us?

So when small m minimalism has become the social default for everything from benches & bollards to skyscrapers & national assemblies....
We have a reduction ad absurdum of cultural aesthetics:
Somebody might not like a detail (read: character) so there can be no details.

What I'm talking about is unconscious, small m minimalism.
Which has become the social default for seemingly every design choice, whether architectural or corporate or anything else.
It is a troubling phenomenon because of what minimalism represents: a lack of detail.

The Danger of Minimalist Design
(& the death of detail)
A short thread...
I had to ask THREE TIMES AND BE OUT ON HOLD to find out how many delivery attempts will be made before returning to sender. How is this acceptable customer service? The person I spoke to seemed confused by the most basic questions. @DHLGlobal @DHLUS do better
Today I got another alert that my package is out for delivery and called @DHLUS to make sure my info is correct & that a delivery attempt will actually be made & if there’s anything I can do to ensure delivery & was repeatedly put on hold & told “the package is out for delivery”
At 8:10pm while sitting on my sofa watching TV with the window open I get an alert that my package is undeliverable due to an incorrect address. Confused I check the website where it states “consigned has moved from address”. Um. What? @DHLGlobal
Tuesday I get a text alert that my package will be delivered between 2-4pm. I get home from work at 5pm to no sign of package. I do not leave my house all night. Quite in fact I sit in my living room all night mere feet from my front door. @DHLGlobal
