Existential laundry.

What’s not to like?

Except the laundry, of course.

Eventually all the ‘natural’ fabrics will compost and perhaps evolve man-made-fibre-eating bacteria that’ll save the world from microplastic Armageddon.

I had to start somewhere. It seemed appropriate 😳

Thank you.

I can leave all the world saving work to you now.

That’s one less thing on my todo list 👍

My laundry hasn't been mine for decades. The cats sleep in it. Looks like I'll have to stage a raid and unseat them, though. Replacement clothes have gone up 40%. Cats are apparently sleeping on them in China so the cost now includes medical treatment. Hiss. Spit.

You’re going to have a hard time unseating cats. Once in they’re on the inside……🤣

Perhaps you might negotiate. Here are the options available to them.

1. A permanent relocation to the dumpster. (This would include the laundry basket.). You could call it a “field trip.”

2. A visit to the washing machine and then to a thrift shop (as you are already replacing them).

3. A visit to the washing machine and then resuming their rightful place in your wardrobe.

Number 3 is tricky. Number 1 is the best option. Then I only have to gather them up once. I’m going to wait until their guard is down. Then mount a surprise raid. If you don’t see any more of me on Substack you know the mission ended in failure 😳
