I'm going to take this as an opportunity to feel a little smug, & also tick a Resistance ticky-box: I buy clothes at most every few years, & then just enough to replace what's worn through. That is, if I can't find what I need at the thrift store.
There is some merit to be had in being a relentless cheapskate.

I've just published my first Forbes science story of 2025. It's all about textile waste, and it features a fascinating new study that looks at the scale of the problem in cities. I'd love if you would read it!
'Wearable heated clothing typically relies on metals or ceramic heating elements to heat up and an external power source, which could pose safety risks for users.
This new cloth incorporates conductive polymer nanoparticles that can heat up to 30 degrees Celsius when exposed to sunlight. The design requires no external power and can also change colour to visually monitor temperature fluctuations.'
Postbinary Genetic Sequences is a series of 13 computationally woven tapestries that challenge traditional biological and sociocultural frameworks through hand-woven tapestries made from the genetic data of various organisms. it sparks curiosity about the complexities of existence and promotes a nuanced understanding of life's intricacies through the interplay of genetic data, art, and activism.

'Most batteries are rigid and incompatible with water. But people work and play in oceans and estuaries, and they could benefit from flexible and saltwater-safe power sources.
Now, researchers report in ACS Applied Materials and Interfaces on a yarn-like battery prototype that works when immersed in seawater. They knotted the rechargeable strands into a fishing net that lit up LEDs and wove a fabric that powered a timer.'

"Autonomous craft organizations provide artisans with a market for their goods and offer strength in numbers to their collective membership. In Chiapas, the more progressive weaving cooperatives also promote solidarity by creating a space for members of different communities to socialize and discuss current problems and issues. In 1996, the founding members of Jolom Mayaetik fought to form their new cooperative for pressing reasons, including declining wages, rising costs of living, and mismanagement of government-run cooperatives they previously worked for. Frustrated with exclusion from local government and marginal political representation outside of their communities, Jolom weavers also sought sociopolitical empowerment. Today, Jolom Mayaetik holds educational courses, lobbies for political inclusion, and lectures locally and internationally to promote the rights of women and indigenous people in Mexico.
