This might be a weird take, but I think self-care is an important part of being Eco-friendly. Let's use my Ewok #cosplay as an example. I wanted to wear it, with all of its fuzzy bra silliness, to an early spring con. I knew I would be chilly, so I made a shawl that fit the vibe of the cosplay. ⬇️

Omg Lady Gaga up-cycled her own wardrobe for the Abracadabra music video??? I mean among other environmental sustainable things. But that's so neat! Reference below ⬇️

So I finally watched the Abracadabra music video and that primal scream in the middle must've hit something in me because why am I crying?

This #BlackHistoryMonth I had the incredible honor of interviewing the founder of #28DaysOfBlackCosplay to celebrate the 10-year anniversary of the movement: www.crunchyroll.com/news/intervi...

Suddenly, out of nowhere, a declassified World War II-era CIA guide to sabotaging fascism in the workplace has become one of the most popular free ebooks on the internet: www.404media.co/declassified...

This week's A Week in Progress blog is up! Can Takoyaki convince you to read it? www.dewfeathers.com/a-week-in-pr...

🧵1/3 My current big #cosplay build will be mostly second hand materials or stuff I already had in my stash. Fabric sources: estate sale, pants that didn't fit me, FB marketplace destash sale. I have also purchased new materials for this cosplay: wigs, nylon glove, decorative cording, etc.

Me: "I can't crochet under these conditions!" The conditions: my dog using my project as a pillow

I think this is one of the most important things I've read in the last 24 hours. "Do the next right thing. Don't try to do all of your activism all at once. Focus on your specialty." My blog is, at its core, anti-capitalist. It's worth it to keep going.

This is all I am acknowledging today It is MLK Day

Somehow I missed the memo on Feeds for this app, and now I'm happily scrolling through only mutuals' accounts and I might switch to cat pictures in a minute.

Yes! And take breaks as you need to. Your community will take the watch.

Do not dunk. Do not quote-post. Do not screenshot and repost. They wish to be visibly cruel because it makes them feel big and strong. Block them with the most powerful block button we've had on social media to save yourself the energy, and save others from the garage being spread

I'm watching a calm aesthetic ball gown making video on YouTube. It would be a relaxing experience if my dog didn't think scissors sounded like barking 🥲

I keep seeing fluffy ball gown content and I might need to make another fluffy dress cosplay.

im gonna be so serious if you're cosplaying harry potter in the year 2025 i am just going to assume you're transphobic and want to broadcast that.

It is done! A Week in Progress January 8th - 15th What do fish have to do with cosplay or crafting? You're just going to have to read it 🤷 www.dewfeathers.com/a-week-in-pr...

Hey there! I'm Dewfeathers, cosplayer and environmentalist with a Master's Degree in biology. Sustainability in cosplay is my passion and I love to talk about it. I have been running my Reduce, Reuse, ReCosplay panel since 2020 and started my blog on the topic in 2022.

I got to meet some Ravens and I did it while wearing my hobbit skirt! When Z and I went to London last September, I really wanted to make sure I got to meet some Ravens at the Tower of London. Why? ⬇️

Ok. I made it to my basement office. It's cold. But I need to do this file maintenance so I can start streaming again 😩 It's gonna happen. I can do it. Plz send good vibes.

This dog, lol. She's too cute!

Korok Details! I love that I was able to reuse my Dryad costume for this cosplay. I made the two masks and all of the little accessories out of Worbla. What is your favorite sculpting material? Performance Photo by @gormasmus #cosplay #korokcosplay #reducereuserecosplay #sustainablecosplay

Getting back into writing about what I'm up to. Going to do my dang best to keep up with it every week 💕 www.dewfeathers.com/a-week-in-pr...

I don't know who wants me to get back to working on my craft office faster, me or Takoyaki 😂 He just SPRINTED down the stairs when I was talking to Z about wanting to craft in my basement office again, hahaha

Another step away from fast fashion in cosplay is to make your cosplays -last-. Line that cosplay, finish that seam, reinforce that stress point. Make them ✨️DURABLE✨️ and you'll have costumes you can wear for years.

Mark Zuckerberg scrapped fact-checking from Meta platforms. He's also added Trump ally Dana White to Meta's board and is helping fund his inauguration. Why is Zuckerberg kissing Trump's ring? Perhaps it's because of the FTC's antitrust lawsuit against Meta. Follow the money.

Hey #cosplayers, what is your favorite recycled cosplay project you've done?

Friendly reminder with the new year: • Clean your makeup brushes • Clean your sewing machine • Throw out expired makeup/contacts Start the new year out fresh!
