I guess I just don’t find scolding people without offering them alternatives and addressing their concerns about those alternatives particularly useful, which is why I’m always armed with a spreadsheet of 100 plus size friendly sustainable brands for when I make posts criticising fast fashion

I don't follow the woman's politics at all (see me largely disliking her output until now) and had no idea - I feel like there's a less patronising way to let people know than this?
