![Instagram culture is exhausting ya'll— how many of ya’ll find yourself wanting to opt out of a culture rooted in dopamine hits and compulsive patterns of media consumption, triggered by any hint of boredom.
Perhaps we need to recalibrate our relationship with media—to rethink how we ought to consume information more generally and what it means to be informed.
We know the idea of slow living, slow fashion— the next frontier is slow media. It’s an attempt to take back control of the way we experience media... relinquishing the illusion that the passive social media consumption facilitates the act of becoming informed. 🕊

![A major pillar @ShopJustHuman's line of sustainable sunglasses is being genderless, which got me thinking on the ties between gender binaries and fashion.
Sustainable fashion, in its truest sense, exists to challenge norms within fashion— an industry that has historically been rooted in exclusionary practices.
After all, gender stereotypes are great for capitalism. Corporations often use the gender binary to define consumer categories and create marketing strategy, and advertising has long encouraged certain expectations of gender identities, in order to connect consumers to identities beliefs, and ultimately products.
For fashion’s tone-setting designers, neutralizing the gender-specific labels of garments and accessories we’ve always so blindly accepted is one of the best routes to a more sustainable future.🌹
